When I was a child I was completely obsessed with Lego. I spent most of my free waking hours in my youth sitting on the floor for hours at a time building anything I could imagine. I distinctly remember one of my creations was an AWD motorcycle with a complex drive system that engaged the…
I’ve been looking at aftermarket screw-in studs for fatbike and motocross tires for a while now since I love to ride all winter long and a lot of times the snow is just a mixture of ice and slush. The premier US seller of studs is a company called gripstuds who sell a variety of custom…
Ever since I started getting into ebikes I’ve wanted to build a high power torque sensing ebike. The main problem is that the more power you want to put through your motor, the more sensitive the torque sensing system needs to be. Although the ebike markets of the world are flooded with 250-350 Watt Torque sensing…
Since long before Lunacycle was even conceived there was a bike that was just an idea in Eric’s head. The idea was to build a super fast, super cool looking fat cargo bike for commuters, hunters and survivalists.The bike has to be strong enough to carry 2 people and powerful enough to easily hit 40mph…
Although last time I was in LA I swore I was never ever going back, here I am again at the Lunacycle HQ spending several hours a day sitting in traffic. How do people live like this? No wonder ebikes are so popular here in Southern California. People can get an ebike and commute on the…
One of the things I always tell people who want to learn to ride bikes in the woods is that the most important rule to follow is always this. Don’t look at the trees It’s not that hard to do, and the biggest problem with our brains is that wherever we look is where we…
One of my great pleasures in life in picking titles for my articles that are particularly obnoxious and watching the posts show up on my Google news feed. There is something incredibly subversive about writing really down to earth and ‘in your face articles’ that call it like it is. I’ve ridden about 3 dozen…
I’ve been pretty disappointed with most of Vee Rubber’s fat tire offerings. It surprises me that the largest fat tire manufacturer in the world seems to have the hardest time coming up with decent tread patterns. It seems like they would do a whole lot better if they did what every other tire manufacturer in…
Two years ago I wrote this post about riding Electric Fatbikes in the snow which had a lot of great tips. For the past 2 years I’ve been riding almost every day in the winter on my efatbikes and I’ve learned a few more things in the last 2 years. I’m going to try to add…
Before the Bluto Fat Bike suspension fork there was nothing. The only way to get a suspension on that fat tire bike was to get a fatter tire. The Bluto has been plagued by cold weather issues so I generally leave my expensive $500 Bluto Fork in the shed all winter long and only break it…
