Those are great but I wonder how many cartridges you need to do a typical 26" x 4" tire?

CLASS 2 750W Classification Sticker Ebike E Scooter (2 Stickers) | eBay
Class 2 Sticker for E-Bikes - Matte Vinyl Sticker. Includes 2 Stickers.www.ebay.com
I’ve always wondered about the enforcement of these “classes.”
I recently passed up on participating in a local very large annual cancer center bike riding fundraiser. I donate every year, but thought it would be fun to be a rider.
Their rules say e-bikes are welcome, but only Class 1’s. My Aventon Pace 500.2 can be set (via an app) as either a Class 2 or 3. I have it set as a Class 2 for NYS law compliance.
The problem is my bike has a throttle (which I really never, ever use, except an occasional assist starting from a dead stop where I’m trying not to tick off a car behind me once a traffic light turns green). The presence of the throttle excludes it from being a Class 1. Suppose I could cover it with duct tape.
The other thing in their rules:
“eBikes should not be used as an adaptive aid to ride longer or faster than you would on a traditional bike.”
How is it possible to be compliant with that, even as a Class 1?!
Back on topic, good thread Smaug. When I get a chance I’ll share the goodies I’ve added to my bike over the past couple years.

After 3 months of research for a light weight (less than 45 lbs) ebike, I finally purchased one. Got a Propella C9-V2 Pro.
Because Seattle streets are notoriously rough and because I want to do some "easy" single track trails I knew that I would be adding some suspension regardless of what bike I got.
I added a Kinect Suspension seatpost and stem both which have 20 mm of travel. They have taken the "jar" out of the bumps and the bike rides very comfortably on both street and trail. Together they added about 2 lbs to total weight.

On my previous Specialized Carbon Comp & had the Redshift suspension seatpost & stem. I liked both but the Kinect seatpost has less "bounce " and no creaking compared to the Redshift seatpost.
These suspension upgrades are not cheap ($350- $450), but they are easy to install and make a big difference in overall comfort and pleasure of bike riding.

So as crazy as it may sound, I purchased the keteles k800 dual motor 2000w ebike recently from..............Temu... Now yes, I was skeptical and really hoped it didn't show up barbie sized lol. So as i looked around the Temu app i noticed something odd.... For some reason unknown to me, of the 4 colors offered for this exact bike (white, blue, yellow, and green) the white, yellow, and blue were priced as $1149.00 US....and the green was $849.00 US ?????? Free shipping. So I bought the green one and hoped for the best....In only 8 days my bike was delivered 100% brand new not a scratch on it with 0 miles and all parts included such as fenders, rear rack, 23ah 48v battery, headlight, tail/brake light, charger, even a free bike lock and a cheap hand air pump, and had actually decent fully inclusive assembly tools!!!! Oh and as soon as my order went from processing to approved, all 4 colors went to $1149.00 US and have stayed at that price. Total payed by me was $929.00!!! i'm super happy with it and its surprisingly exactly what the listing on temu said it was. ive added a mirror and swapped the seat from my old bike to it, but other than that its stock so far.

Cool looking bike. My favorite color! I have found several unrelated items for sale on Amazon that were much cheaper if you picked green. Guess most people don't want to pick green colored products.......

When I was using Co2 on fat tires, I bought the really REALLY big 25g threaded co2 cartridges and you still needed a couple of them for a single use. A company called Cycling Deal would sell them in packs of 20 for $35, and thats cheap. Nowadays a 12-pack costs that. After a year or so I abandoned co2 in favor of ebike-battery-powered air pumps that never run out.
I have a Kinekt post on one bike (Thudbusters on others) and their stem on I think three other bikes. That stem is awesome. If your upper body is bottoming out the stem, Kinekt sells a bumper upgrade, and you can add a spring upgrade that at least used to be on-request-only. Its their heaviest duty seatpost spring and its size fits the stem. I got it after talking to Kinekt over the phone. It may be a published option now and the two together are highly effective. For me the stem was wasted since by leaning on it I compressed the stem at rest, making it pointless without the upgrade.
Unfortunately after 18 months my Kinekt post has started creaking. I'm going to try some spray lube. My garage door uses spray lithium grease that should penetrate reasonably well. I switched to a different bike with a Thudbuster and the difference is very noticeable. Also, originally I thought I preferred the Kinekt, but now that I have switched between two otherwise identical bikes while I do some upgrades on the Kinekt-equipped bike, I can say the less expensive (but still not cheap) Thud is probably the smarter play.

I won this in my bike club's annual raffle last year. It's a dual-purpose accessory:
Now that winter is upon us in the northern hemisphere, a lot of my riding is in the dark and this has been getting a lot of use. It has blinking and solid modes.

I like the idea of a revolver. It could be loaded with different projectiles:Thought about one of these for the crazy feral dogs,

Maybe the first two chambers with pepper gel, then two with nylon balls, then two with steel, in case things get hairy.
Non-lethal, I assume.
On the other hand, I'm a concealed carry permit holder, and that thing looks enormous, like triple the size of my 9mm carry pistol. (Sig P365)
It would be fun to have a holster rigged to the handlebar or stem with that hand cannon in it though!

That's what i was thinking., the pepper balls or some type of less than lethal projectile, like PVC balls?

I owned one of the pistols for a while but sold it. It was enormous. As big as those in the old west that they called a hog leg. Too big to easily conceal. And too powerful to use on a dog just for deterrence.

Considering the weight of some of these eBikes, plus the weight of the rider... perhaps simply riding them under would be sufficient.
"Just for deterrance?"
You'd rather let him sink his teeth into you than to deter him with a non-lethal gun?
