Recently I’ve started writing articles for electricbike.com due to a whole variety of reasons. By no means am I abandoned this blog, I’ll still be trying to write one article every week or two here, but Eric has challenged me to write one non-crappy article every day for his blog electricbike.com . At first, this…
I’ve traveled the world and whitewater kayaked off 40′ waterfalls, run hard class 5 rapids backwards on purpose and jump 40 feet in the air regularly when kiteboarding. I can say with some certainty that it takes a lot to really scare me. After 30 minutes on the Lunacycle custom 96v AWD dual Adaptto controller…
This is an article that has been bouncing around in the back of my brain for almost a year now. When I first got my Sur-Ron Light Bee (Firefly) Electric Motocross bike I expected that I was going to use it for single-track riding on trails and in the snow. After trying it out in…
About a year ago I wrote this article about why you should never take your ebike to Black Rock City unless you were building an incredibly awesome Mutant ebike. A couple of my friends, Doug Shire and Laurence Clarkberg (look mom, I really do have friends), wasted thousands of dollars and hundreds of hours of…
Fraud /frôd/: noun : wrongful or criminal deception intended to result in financial or personal gain. Over the past decade, I’ve seen a disturbing trend as more and more companies seem to be blatantly trying to rip off consumers, investors, and crowdfunders with their electric vehicle products. Whether it is electric cars, ebikes, electric scooters or electric skateboards…
There are defining moments in your life and somehow you know when they are happening, that you will never forget. Meeting Luke ‘Live For Physics’ Workman for the first time was one of those moments. I’ve traveled from NY to LA three times in the last 2 years on my own dime because I felt…
It’s been a long time since I laughed so hard I cried. In all honesty, it’s never happened on an ebike, but when I tested the Luna Fat Drift Trike ripping along The Strand in LA at night barely on the verge of control racing along with my friend Curt Fisher, I was laughing out…
A week ago I wrote and article waxing philosophic on whether or not pedal powered bicyclists and ebikers could ever live together in harmony. I decided that the perfect followup to that article is one that clearly outlines the rules that I chose to live by when electric biking in the woods. IMBA released this short…
Two years ago I started writing an article called “Why do they hate us ? Ebikes vs Bikers” but I never finished it. Several weeks ago I stumbled across this article on Singletracks.com entitled “Ebikes are the spawn of Satan, mostly“. The article is extremely divisive and I finally decided it was about time that…
Coming off the high of my 11th burn I figured it was time to address one of the craziest fads that have ever taken hold at Burning Man. Last year was the first year I really noticed any sizable number of ebikes at Black Rock City, but this year it seemed like they were…
