I own everything from a folder to a full suspension 26" Stumpjumper. Whatever I put this on will be adjusted as needed, meaning I will likely install a motor on our most simple bike but one day try it out on our full suspension to see how much fun that is. I foresee having a bunch of toys to...

That is my plan is to get a setup from Electrify Bike. We had looked at E-bikes but had trouble deciding which make or model. I like the idea of buying a setup from them and be able to move it from bike to bike. My wife will get one for X-mas for us to start off and check out how an e-bike...

Then that is out for me. I am 5'10" with a 29" inseam. My wife is 5'2" and our legs are about the same length. So I am on the search for a bike for stubby legged people or one that can be lowered to fit me. We have a 3 person inflatable, which makes it nice for solo or a couple with two dogs...

That is some great info. I am often looking at used because I am just cheap that way. However as I crunch the numbers. Saving 50-60% for a used boat or RV where that means 10s or 100s thousands of dollars I am willing to do some elbow grease or take a little risk. When used bikes are $3-5k...

I have no more problem sleeping in the back of my truck or a tent than I do sleeping in my bed at home, I sleep poorly in my own bed also. After considering a towable or popup for my truck I picked up a class C RV. It is not only way more comfortable of a bed but when I am awake when all...

Have you had any problems converting any bike? My old college Mtn Bike is so old it does not even have a sealed bearing which appears is part of the preferred setup. I think the thing is about 29lbs+ probably more with fenders, rack etc. I would think being as heavy as it is it is built like...

Right now the CRF 250s are plentiful used, they have been made for years. If you want a CRF 300 L which I just discovered myself and think it might be a perfect fit for me, better get in line. There is a waiting list for spring deliveries. I have my name on a waiting list and will call the...

My expectations would be very minimal on a 2-up on a motorcycle would be simply to get into town for a meal or to explore nearby. I would expect to be only on a forest service road or highway to get to town. As a way to avoid having to drive the van every day. I am still concerned about the...

Definitely part of the confusion but also part of the issue. If I could find an E-bike that I could do 2-up Would probably go with that first. I would hope to get a motorcycle my wife and I could both ride on. My current search for Motorcycles has led me towards this one...

That was the confusing part was 1up and 2up referring to the bike rack and or the bike having two people on the bike, which is something I would also like to consider. I have so many roof rack bike racks then a Yakima 4 up. I saw the newer design that looks like my roof rack tray but hanging...

Those are cheap, got to consider that. I am tempted though to buy the same one you did as you can change the Bottom bracket size and move it to a different bike. There are so many ways I think having an E-bike would be a total game changer.

I have no reason to be as frugal as I am other than I retired young and want to stay retired. If I could get back into riding again I would buy a nicer bike. I think the only bike I paid over $700 for was my Specialized Stumpjumper which was used but it was my only full suspension bike and I...

I was a Mtn Biker back in the day and am/was more a roadbiker now, I have two older steel frame bikes(Marinoni and Lemond), and my Mtn Bikes both have 26" tires. So as much as I like biking I am a fat old man. If I was in better shape I would think nothing about bringing a bike and just riding...

That is kind of where I am heading: A bike and motorcycle. In my search the WR250 was looking like a good option. In doing my research it is fairly high stance and I have stubby legs, so the search continues. I will probably buy a CYC kit for my wife's bike and see how that goes for her. I...

Care to share a photo of your homebuilt ebike? Did you use a Bafan? I am considering doing this and also getting a 250 cc motorcycle, because I have wanted on for 40 years and my mom is not with me anymore to fret over me owning one.

Hijack away, any input to this thought process is appreciated. I just had an interesting 'bike' pop up locally and got me thinking again about a secondary vehicle. I think a 250 street legal thumper would be best all around. A 1996 Suzuki DRZ 350 just came up with 3k miles. for $2600. A...

Check everywhere and check often and be prepared to act quickly and travel if need be, if you want a good deal as things move fast. Some things are still priced at a premium and you don't have to jump on it as quickly. When I was considering a Hallmark last summer Colorado seemed to have many...

That is not happening, unless I wanted a choice of two different motorcycles for me to ride, my wife can't even drive my truck because it is a stick. I would not plan on traveling with the two of us for very far on a motorcycle. It would be just as a way to get into town nearby. If we were...

Primary goal is to be a run into town for groceries, dinner. While the Van stays stationary. But if I had something offroad capable, I am sure I would have a blast trail riding. I wanted an Enduro since I was 14. Now at 54, I still want one and my parents are no longer around to be scared of...

I think so also, it looks pretty cool, but would probably go with an E-bike so I could possibly ride on a bike path or a gas motorcycle. The cake is not fast enough to be safe on a road and not being able to take advantage of bike paths.
