Fold up wheels. Pick up the bow and pull it to the water and after it launched you flip them up and Be on your way. Works well.

RE: Reality check - 2006 Chevy 2500
Apparently 2006 was a good model year for the Silverado. 220,000 miles on my 3500 dually, most of them pulling a heavy 5er, & we are still going strong. It gets what it likes, fresh oil every 3000 miles & almost an open checkbook when it comes to preventative maintenance.
Can I have your used oil? ;)

RE: Nascar Follies
Jimmie J gets COVID-19, can’t do the Indy race. Lot of folks on social media want him to delay retiring until next year because all the 2020 hype. I say run, not walk to the exit door when the year is out.

RE: Storage space vs phoney fireplace.
We had to with Fire places, current one without. We miss the fire place. Storage? Looked all the stuff We had and to about half off it out. I’ve got A lot of empty cabinets.
Kind of the point I was making, all the unnecessary junk we haul. I wouldn't give up my fireplace to haul more STUFF . We use our fireplace a lot, it puts out more heat then some of those space heaters, has a blower on it. Then you are faced with a space to put the space heater ,mostly like in the space where the fireplace was :)
Come to think about that space IS where our two heaters are stored. :)

RE: Electric Bikes???
You are on the wrong forum to be asking about MTB's but i know a thing or two...
You get what you pay for.
Specialized are very good e-bikes, you really can't go wring there. Treks are good as well as all the Name brand bikes you see at real bike shops.
My friends have the $6,000-8,000 priced models and love them.
The similarities in all quality bikes are the motors. There are only a few who supply the motors, and the bike frame is specific to the manufacturer (Specialized or Trek), but the rest of the parts are 99% going to be from Shimano or Sram for drivetrain/brakes, and whoever for wheels, and Sram or Fox for suspension.
I assume by Trail Riding you mean dirt walking paths, or do you mean real mtb trails? If real trails, then look into getting a fatter tire (3.6 to 4 inches wide) vs the regular 2.6 that will come on most e-bikes. Bigger tire is less chance of flatting that 47lb bike, and more traction and comfort.
If you want to go the budget route then you can still get rear wheels that have the electric motor in them, and these will retro fit into any bike, or just buy the complete bike with that rear wheel.
For security, be careful, they can get stolen. Do not use braided cables to lock them. Use a manly heavy industrial chain and quality disc lock, or better to get a bike lock, like the NY lock, that has a guarantee to not get stolen even in NYC. More likely whatever it is locked to will be cut than the lock. Keep them inside and out of sight.
ABus or Kryptonite are quality brands found a a real bike shop or online.
$6000 to $8000 for a bike and the all use the same components! WOW. My Rad Rover was Only $1400 and I never have a problem. Be aware there is a bike shortage, it may take a month or two to get one.

RE: Electric Bikes???
Another vote for RadPower. I have a Rad Rover, has fat tires. My dad has a Rad City. He’s 97 and put close to 5000 miles on it in the last year. He is 97!

RE: Nascar Follies
From what I have been reading the last few days, NASCAR better get use to low fans in the stands and bad TV ratings.
