Headlight Upgrade 😳
Finally settled on a light to replace the Lectric Elite Headlight.
It's literally night and day! I was expecting a big upgrade but holy crap.
Lectric Elite vs. Fenix BC28R - both of the same unlit scene.
The Fenix costs 10 percent of the XP4 long range retail price but with replaceable 21700 cells it should theoretically last longer than me.

Dreaded real flat tire
Hey guys tonight on my way home I got my first flat on the rear tire it’s the original my odometer glitched out and reset to zero at one point when I was adjusting the handle bars so it’s probably close to 3k miles at this point, has anyone use the green slime? Did it work ? I hope it does otherwise it’s going to a shop with the other tire I have for it already it’s bad I had to walk it home, it’s on the rim fortunately I have a Lyft account so maybe I can use that to get it to a shop idk right now imma sleep on it tomorrow is a new day and I have a couple days to figure something out

20.000 km with my Btwin Riverside 500E
I bought 6 years ago a Btwin Riverside 500 E at a Decathlon store.
An ordinary ebike, for commuting from home to work and for weekend rides.
I would have never expected it would last so long.
The guys at the Decathlon service are also surprised when I bring it: usually this model doesn't reach 2 years and a couple of thousands kilometres.
20000 km without big issues and regular maintenance.
Just wanted to share the joy.
Quite satisfied.

under $500 bike for college
Hello! I'm brand new to e-bikes, but I'm looking for one to take to/from my college, which is about five miles. Preferably has some back storage/ability to give it back storage. I found this one at walmart and the reviews look decent but I wanted to ask before I committed. Thanks!
edit: also liked this one and it's $400 off right now

Is this a decent Ebike
For the past couple of months I've been looking to buy a ebike on Amazon, but I'm dubious on the quality of them and it is hard to find a actual human review of the bikes.
Has anyone here bought a ebike from Amazon such as the picture I posted? How long has it lasted you? Is the throttle good?
