Having secured buy-in from the founder of U.S. e-bike giant Aventon, #Gocycle will ride again in 2026.

The UK/EU is to remain a key market, but also USA & Asia will come into play for the brand founded by Richard Thorpe, who remains with the label:

@floreana @fluids_guru @pluralistic Being a satisfied customer of Grin Tech https://ebikes.ca/ I can't recommend them enough: so long as Justin is the CEO/CTO and owner, this is an enshittification proof company! They don't sell complete bikes though, only kits and parts (some designed in house! like their Grin All-Axle hub motor). Their site is not solely an online store but a compendium of info for e-bike DIYers !

I need like a 3D-printed interference checker for the #tsdz2 and #bbs02 #eBikes motors, something that can span over the existing cranks and just center into the bolts, or at least the spindle, to check whether the motor body and stuff was going to collide with the bike frame before I remove the bottom bracket and maybe not get it back together the same after finding that the motor doesn't fit. Also if I didn't have one of each motor here to try, seems like there should be a thing.

HB 3626, (legalizing e-scooters and class 1 or 2 #eBikes for kids as young as 12) passed out of committee. It seems okay but there's a lot of confusing law-shuffling about helmets in it too. I think it keeps helmet laws to under-16 but we should really drop that whole legal mess since you basically have to assume that anyone who isn't wearing a helmet has a religious reason, so how do you cite anyone for it without it becoming harassment case. #orPol #pdxBikes

I'm considering getting an e-bike, and the price on Rad Power bikes looks right (I also live near one of their in-person stores). Do they still have safety issues around their tires?
