ITT We post pics of whatever we rode today.
Special thanks to Corm for the idea, thank you Corm!
My modified Talaria Sting MX3
Rode my Priority Folder: It’s new but so far, I really like it! Gates carbon belt, 8 speed internal hub, and 20" tubeless ready wheels.
I’ll post a more extensive review later, but it’s half the price of Tern’s belt driven offerings and takes standard parts.
That does look like a neat little bike. I’ve been eyeballing their 600 for years now lol, pricey but the range on those Pinion drives are pretty impressive.
I was looking at the 600X for a touring bike but I’m worried about if I snap a belt then the spare I won’t be able to replace it anywhere near as easily as I could a chain. If I get a dedicated touring bike (right now I’m just using a modded Trek 820 lol) it’d probably be the Marin Four Corners or maybe a Fuji Touring Disc.
I don’t know I’d trust an aluminum frame for touring, but for getting around the city so far the aluminum Folder has been great so far.
Well that’s probably for the best then because I don’t think they make the 600X anymore.

Sitting on the train on my way to friday night ride
Riding my v11 unicycle one last time before I sell it because I own too many EUCs
It’s a great commuter. Relatively waterproof, durable, goes 34mph, 30+ mile range.
I really just ride my mten5 or ex30 or motorcycle 95% of the time though
New bike day for me: Got a Ride1up Portola after my local shop had one for $950. I fixed up my old Engwe too but the Portola rides so much better, folds up smaller, and is just all around better.
The only things I like better about the EP2 is that the rack fits standard bags, you need a key to start it, and the 4" 15 PSI tires offer a slightly smoother ride (though I also have Tannus Armour installed, so that probably helps).
The pedal assist on the Portola is significantly better, same for brakes, grips, saddle, fenders… pretty much everything is higher quality and at a lower MSRP. Customer service also seems better (so far anyways).

I bought a new begode Falcon (with cryptocurrency on Ewheels.com) and this thing is a blast with the suspension. I changed the stock pads for these small pink ones.
It’s got a nice simple design and is super easy to take apart. It goes about 25mph for 20-30 miles, same as my mten5.
I wouldn’t recommend it as a first wheel though due to how high the pedals are. I think the mten5 or Future or A2 are better to learn on.
Is there any advantage to having higher pedals/footrests on these?
It makes it harder to hit roots and rocks while off roading, and you can turn sharper, but really no
In general the lower the pedals are to the ground the easier it is to ride and the more stable it is
The Falcon pedals here are quite high up and it makes it feel less stable. I would prefer them an inch or two lower
This guy with the deadly fender lol (I swear I’ll remove it later, I don’t want to get crippled)
Just checking in: Did you died?
Yes, but I got better.
Congrats on the recovery!
I’ve been driving on account of injuries from a faulty Engwe EP2 Pro fender trying to kill me, but once I’m healed up I’ll be riding again for sure. Fuck Engwe though!
Hope you heal up and can get back to riding soon!!
Thanks, me too! I miss it.
