California law about E-bike use for 70 and above?

My purely pedal-powered MTB is by now well above 40lbs with tool kit and all. Plus usually several large stainless thermos bottles with water. Plus occasionally one with homebrew IPA in there. The battery for the lights weighs a bit as well and needed an "impact-proof" ABS enclosure. It's full suspension so I had to modify the back in a way that it looks more like the rear end of a dirt bike, in order to be able to pack stuff for longer rides. The regular single-boom racks don't work because the boom will buckle during hard rides and be too hard on the seat tube welds. Alright, alright, alright. Let's see a pic of this POS already, Esé Have to get my camera going again. It quit after the last MTB ride, it is mechancially nearing its end. This is the bike before the mod: http://www.analogconsultants.com/ng/bike/Muddy3.JPG Now there is a diagonal U-shaped strut mid-tube to under the panniers, a large machined clamp around the middle of the seat tube (in the triangle), the electrical box (for lighting, music, etc.) is smaller and now on that strut, and there is an additional top trunk. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ |

I tucked it under a bungee, resumed pedaling, changed my mind after 5 or 10 seconds, and returned it to the gutter. But back to Joerg's bike, well, I expected to see something a little more chitty-chitty-bang-bang |

Here it is: http://www.analogconsultants.com/ng/bike/Muddy4.JPG The mod has proven itself over about 1000mi, most of them hard miles, with heavy loads. The top trunk addition is fairly new, since about 200mi, but works well also. It sometimes carries homebrew IPA :-) -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ |

Have you considered tire wipers and orange whip flag or a 2m radio antennae Tire wipers are provided by the forest service around here, in the form of a brush on a cable. No kidding, there are boundaries where you must. An antenna mount maybe some day when I get back into ham radio. Both bikes have on-board batteries which makes this easier. -- Regards, Joerg http://www.analogconsultants.com/ |
