That regulation actually only applies to class 1 bikes. If you have a class 3 bike like a LOT of newer bikes this will not help as they are 28mph max speed so the regulation would not apply. I do agree that if some people would use good sense half of these regulations would never be needed...

Never understood the idea of restricting bikes on a bike trail because they could go over ___ speed. That would be the same as saying no car that can go over the speed limit is allowed on a road - wait that would be 99.99% of everything made nowadays. Set a darn speed limit on the trail if that...

Awesome photos and hope you are feeling better soon!

Great post Dadohead - never knew that. Thanks for sharing

I agree with Jeff - I would not worry about going up a tire size or two. We been doing it on tons of machines and of the ones I repair I have not noticed any change in bearing wear - most wear we see is from mud or extreme use. Most issues I deal with is guys crashing into stuff......

On my sport side by side I run Carnivores - very tough tire, decent on the asphalt and great in the woods on a variety of WV trails from rock to mud. On my Mule Pro (bigger utility machine) I have Pitfall growlers. Excellent in the woods and seem like they may last a LONG time. 1200 miles so...

Way too many unknowns - straps break. So with some of the statements on here if you secure something properly and a defective strap breaks causing an accident and someone is killed you should be tried and go to jail???? People pull out of side streets daily and cause accidents, was there...

Just saw this on Facebook - you dont need a $200 Ebike when you can get this baby that does "50-60 mph" (with what looks like no front brakes) for a mere $200. Good lord, someone is going to die on that thing.

Seats are tricky, finding one that you like is a very personal thing and proper adjustment is vital. Play around with the forward/back position, tilt, etc and see if that helps. If it doesnt, start looking as there are about 1000 different seats out there - one for every bum as they say....

Yep, great bikes that you will enjoy. Ride safe!

I will offer a little advice. Buy a good bike, one that fits you, and one you like. We were in the same boat as you a year ago and ended up buying two Specialized E-Bikes and spent way more than we planned (about 7k total). Test rode a ton of different makes and models and when we tried the...

WOW - wonder how much weight that takes to have a failure like that.

"Yes, 911 for public utils to the home. For private owner ran lines, hand dig carefully and metal detector as I had mentioned." Little typo - 811 for utilities, 911 and other people in uniforms will arrive :oops::)

I went from an L to a MX. The MX is a nice step up and a good deal heavier duty for not a whole lot more money.

LOl - I bet that got your heart beating!
