I like Micah Toll. There is not a lot of people in the DIY ebike world that haven’t projected their crazy energy and opinions at me at some point in the last several years. Micah has always struck me as being level-headed, intelligent and non-judgemental which are rare qualities to find in the DIY ebike world. In…
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…
Today the planet reaches the orbital position and rotational orientation of my exit from the birth canal and out into the world (It’s my 45th birthday). As a way to celebrate being one more year closer to death, I decided to write this crazy article. I have a lot of anxiety about being alive, every…
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…
Ebikes are great, they allow you to ride harder and faster than god ever intended you to be able to with those skinny chicken legs of yours. What if instead of going really fast for long distances and up steep hills, you want to carry a lot of weight along with you, what would you…
I’ve been waiting for a long time for someone to hit the market with a 36T aftermarket chainring for the BBSHD. The stock 46T steel chainring makes a great Frisbee-From-Hell but you would be certifiably insane to use it on any real ebike build. Lekkie has built a 42T BBSHD chainring that has been around almost…
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…
The Thudbuster LT (review here) is the quintessential essential for any fat ebike. At the last count, I own a total of 5 Thudbusters that move around from one bike to another. One of the problems that I’ve dealt with in the past is that my fat bikes have all different widths of seat tubes meaning that if…
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…
