Ken as usual you missed what I was focused on and that was fairness for all Riders participate in Ragbrai. Or did you miss the part about my suggestion for Radar Guns, Breathalyzers, and other type of rules violation detecting equipment and more. LOL
Ken please share with the forum, which e-assist systems only need a one line code adjustment…[Read more]

David, I am aware of the Bosch system and thank you for your suggestion. I have been involved in the different configurations and construction of e-assist bikes for several years now. I actually personally built my own system and have participated in Ragbrai from Start to finish including the Karras loop. My e-assist motor runs silent or nearly…[Read more]

I was not going to reply any more to this thread as I stated earlier but unfortunately due to recent discussion and what I see as a very unfair turn of events that has happened which I personally suspect has been prompted by a Minority and not a Majority of people that participate in Ragbrai.
First and foremost there seems to be a clique that…[Read more]

Ken, having a title and being aware of something is not the same as owning and actually building something. With all do respect I have worked and helped maintain many aircraft but that does not make me a pilot, a flight engineer, or an air traffic controller. Yet I am certainly familiar with them all and can present intelligent information on…[Read more]

Amanda when my wife went to work at her hospital it was -41 degree windchill factor. We had to Jumpstart the dogs to get them to go out!

Ken thanks for the suggestion and the time consuming exercise but I believe I will pass. It could prove very beneficial for you as you made an incorrect assertion about Lithum without stopping or bothering to consider that there are several different types of Lithium Battery Chemitries and they have different properties. Actually that post is…[Read more]

Mootsman Please do not send me private messages in regard to this discussion. If you do not understand or cannot comprehend a point I made in the forum then ask about it in the forum so others can participate. I do not need you to explain to me in a private message why you want to refer to me or anyone else as a Troll. Personally I see name…[Read more]

Where in the world does it say anything about electric scooters or Vespas? Vespa is a brand name by the way for those who might be unaware and there are competing brands. Since when is calling for a source to validate random statements anyone wishes others to take as fact argumentative? Ken I think you will agree, even when it comes to the…[Read more]

Mootsman, I can see it is probably a habit for you to label anyone that disagrees or presents a different point of view or opinion from yours a Troll. Instead of keeping things on an intellectual level you would rather reduce things to implications, insulting name calling which doesn’t add anything to the discussion. It certainly does not do…[Read more]

Mootsman since we are going to start classifying then we should apply it to all. Shouldn’t there be limits on gearing allowed? For example 7 speed, 8 speed, 9 speed, 10 speed, 11 speed and so on? Does chain ring size ( tooth count matter and should it be restricted)? Can we regulate pace line or individual rider speeds somehow? At least you…[Read more]

Great job on selecting the route this year. It will be both challenging and interesting as well.

Jason Stoller replied to the topic Recumbent Riders in the forum RAGBRAI XLVII – 2019 1 year, 11 months ago
I have ridden all my Ragbrai’s on Recumbent Trikes. The first was on a Hase Delta Trike and the rest were on a fully Suspended HP Velotechnik FS 26 Scorpion Trike. Make sure you get your training in. Also make sure you set your Trike up to have a good hydration system because you will find out that it will be very important for you. Clipless…[Read more]

LOL now thats funny! On a serious note maybe TJ or someone else will chime in here. I think there is most likely is a reasonable line that exists in polite discussion or conversations whether they exist in a forum or other written forum that do have limits and guidelines as to what is considered acceptable. I would not be surprised if that was…[Read more]

Mootsman after reading through some of your posts it appears you have set yourself up in the thread as some sort of expert on ebikes which appears to contain some misinformation. If the point of the discussion was to present accurate information than that in itself could be considered argumentative and a troll response. Of course there are…[Read more]

Dale after I get done having my bone marrow transplant in a few weeks, if My Physician’s allow me to participate in Ragbrai this year you can find me easily. I will be the one Flying both the American and Navy Flags as I have every year. I will be riding an Hp Velotecnik Fs 26 Recumbent Trike with a Blue Canopy over it. I will probably be p…[Read more]

Ken you raise a good point. Just for the record there are many different types of battery chemistries out there. One of them is Lithium Iron Phosphate batteries LiFePO4 which are much less dangerous.
