Really enjoying my new ebike. Goes 30mph and up to 100 miles, took it up to the lake and went adventuring today. I put motorcycle tires on it and Flatout in the tubes, slows it down a bit but I won't get any flats. Great trade off...

Lol. I had mine in my cart for a couple of months before pulling the trigger. I was going to wait until the spring, but the Black Friday deal was just too sweet to pass up. The farmer's almanac predicts a warm and wet winter, so I'll probably get more rides in than I had foreseen. Let us know how what you think about the Heybike, and don't forget the Flat Out in your tires.

I got to hang out with my pianist buddy last night, I haven't seen him in a couple of months as we've both been so busy. Drank some Stella's, smoked some great weed, and even did a few coke bumps. Really fun. I have a 3 hour wedding in the city today, then I get to have dinner with my best friend. I haven't seen her in weeks and miss the shit out of her. Should be okay traffic on rainy Sunday. Hope everyone is enjoying their weekend.

Plastic on my laptop screen is cracking where the hinge is, put some packing tape on it to try to hold it together for awhile. Lubed the hinge also to try to loosen it up, it might be terminal however.
Mornin.

There was a hundred dollar coupon. Checked today and the coupon is still valid but the price went up 50, so I pulled the trigger at the right moment. I plan to do all my grocery shopping with that all winter.

I'm definitely getting Flat Out. Bike weighs 80 lbs. Nobody wants to push that!

Haha I’ve been going without flat out in my rear tire since I changed out the tire and tube for a motorcycle tire and heavy duty tube. Just cause I couldn’t find my bottle of flatout while I was installing the new stuff.

That was easily over 1000 miles ago

but, these tires are awesome for a 20inch wheel that’s about 4 inches wide… though the motorcycle sizing is 3.00x16, it fits a 20x4 tire with light persuasion.

Shinko SR244 is the model, but the SR241 is good too.

The sprocket looks worn out to me, and I don't see any lube from the chain...but I rode motorcycles not E bikes...
