We just dropped 30 kilowatts of solar on our rooftop in North Oakland. With 58 panels in full sun we’d need to invite 300-600 pedalers to match that with pedal power! The transformation means we are now net contributors to the electricity grid of California, and all of our electricity needs are being met by solar, as well as those of our neighbor tenants: P.L.A.C.E. and Soul Graffiti.

The photos show the process beginning with the installation of aluminum racking. 

Solar installation began with lots of aluminum racking.

The solar install comes as we’re shifting more of our manufacturing to our Oakland location, with our expanded fleet of 3D printers. We’re making more parts in-house and sending away for fewer of them. Our plastic parts were already pretty green, being made of recycled milk jugs. Even though we now have to use new plastic spools to feed our 3D printers, we believe that the overall carbon footprint of our manufacturing has gone down significantly because parts are no longer trucked to us from Minnesota, and because the electricity is now solar.

California’s electricity needs are currently being met by 50% natural gas so there’s a long way to go with reducing carbon in the atmosphere and solar is something an individual or business can do now if they own their building. Rock The Bike purchased our building in 2016.

Whether you have an upcoming full-service event or if you are seeking inspiration for your rented or purchased bike, these are some of our favorite bike-blended smoothie options! If you don’t have fruit that is pre-frozen, and you decide to add ice, you will get the best results with small ice cubes placed on top of the fruit and juice placed into the blender.

Our DJ booth has come a long way in terms of simplicity, sound quality, and fun and we’re excited to get out there with it this spring and summer! 

The big change from our previous attempts is the use of our new Off The Wall generators. These new generators power the speakers directly, with no need for a Pedal Power Utility Box to buffer the power. When you pedal, the speakers turn on instantly. 

In order to work with a range of DJs, we do not impose a requirement that they bring Off The Wall-compatible DJ equipment. Instead we bring an always-ON battery-based power box to power the DJ equipment: turntables, controller, laptop, etc. This way the DJ can continue to cue up the next song even if the bikes aren’t getting pedaled.

We previewed a range of popular speakers to find the ones compatible with Off The Wall, and found our favorite. We were looking for speakers that turn on immediately when you pedal, have the clarity and bass response that make people dance, and the efficiency that make people proud of their good clean pedal power. We chose the Mackie DRM 215. This plywood speaker — many are plastic — has amazing bass with its 15″ woofer! It sounds like there’s a subwoofer. The power consumption of the Mackie DRM 215 is surprisingly low, even lower than the Modified JBL’s we’ve been selling.  Wattage goes up when listening levels go up, but a lot of sound comes out of the speaker even at 20 Watts. This means that even an elementary school student can get their classmates dancing, which is a joy to see.

We’ve also been trying out an always-ON speaker and a pedal powered speaker at the same time. This is useful for events where the audience has a shorter span of attention, but you want the music to stay on, for example a school dance. For events with an older, fitter audience, pedal powering both speakers is going to make people feel more proud of the results. Having the flexibility to battery power one of the speakers means there’s less pressure to prevent outages.

We offer our DJ booth as an event service with our talented DJs like DJ EVolT ready to scratch and beat drop to their heart’s content. If you would like to hire us to bring our bikes, lights and DJ to your event, please let us know! Contact us at customerservice@rockthebike.com and let us know the date of your event, your location (indoor/outdoor), and the size of the audience and we will set you up with our finest full-service offering. Don’t let this summer go by without letting yourself have this much fun!

Here’s the simple recipe. You will need:

• 1 or 2 Off The Wall Pros or Off The Wall Generator Stands with your own bikes.
• 2 compatible and tested speakers with 100-240V AC input rating. We recommend the Mackie DRM 215 the highest. They have the most testing hours and the best sound. We recommend purchasing with a protection plan.
• Battery-based always-on power box for DJ gear (turntables, laptop, mixer, controller, etc) . These power boxes are often referred to as ‘Solar Generators’ or Portable Power devices. We recommend at least a 1000Wh (1 KWh) system. Here are 2 examples: 1250 Wh EcoFlow Delta   1500Wh Goal Zero   We don’t have any affiliate links and are simply providing these as workable options. Please feel free to do your own research!
• Audio cables to connect DJ equipment to the loudspeakers.

Option 1: Kombi 2000 with GMAC 

The Kombi 2000 (with GMAC motor) is our premium electrified version of the Yuba Kombi. With the Kombi, you start with an adventure-ready and heavy-duty cargo bike frame with dual disc brakes. Its stout rack system and host of accessories including waterproof bags mean you can adapt it to your hauling needs. We are ready to guide you through picking Yuba accessories and non-Yuba accessories (pump, lock, lights) to help you set up your system, with our 75+ combined years of cargo biking experience. 

Our electric platform consists of a 52V in-frame aluminum-cased lithium-ion battery comprised of Samsung cells. The aluminum battery case doesn’t take up prime cargo space, is centrally located for a good center of gravity, and acts as heat dissipation for the thin controller. The battery system is scalable. The max capacity of the aluminum case is 1.5 kWh. Standard option is 1 kWh with room for expansion to 1.5. 

Range expectation. Steep hills and heavy loads will make every bit of difference. For the 1 kWh battery, expect a 25-50 mile range. 

The motor is the Grin Cyclery GMAC ‘fast winding’ which offers excellent acceleration and is capable of approximately 32-35mph on flat ground. This geared hub motor is relatively quiet and lightweight as motor systems go and still offers powerful regenerative braking. With regenerative braking you can put about 10-12% back into your battery, and you’ll also save brake pads! 

We have tested this motor with steep hills and heavy loads, and also light loads for top speed. While the overall weight is less than 70 lbs, the bike can tow or haul 300 pounds. 

Starting pricing is as follows: 

Base bike: Yuba Kombi with larger front chainring, $1350

Grin GMAC motor system: including Cycle Analyst 3 display, throttle, Base Runner controller, $1100

Build fee: $500

1 kWh Battery and charger:$1300

————

Base price $4,250 + sales tax on everything but the build fee. 

Upgrade options:

Upgraded 1.5kWh battery: + $525

Upgraded premium charger: Cycle Satiator charger offering battery saving percentage charging: + $300 

Simple upgraded charger with % charging: Offers 80% and 90% charging but has no screen. + $150 

Option 2: Kombi 750 with Bafang 750 mid-drive

Also lightweight, with a less expensive mid-drive motor. Very reliable: most popular ebike motor on the planet. Sold with 1kWH battery for a base price of $3250. Lower top speed (~30 MPH) , excellent hill climbing power at 10-15 MPH More info and photos coming on Kombi 750. 

Starting pricing is as follows: 

Base bike: Yuba Kombi, $1200

Bafang 750W motor system: Bafang 750W lightweight mid-drive motor, color handlebar display, brake-sensor brake lever, gear sensor, $800

Build fee: $500

1 kWh Battery and charger:$1250

————

Base price $3750 + sales tax on everything but the build fee. 

Upgrades:

Smart charger: $175 . This charger has modes for 80%, 90%, and 100% . Charging to 80% when you only need to go a short distance is a great way to extend the life of your battery. This is commonly done in the world of electric cars for the same reason.

Kit Install Service:

If you bring a bike that’s a suitable candidate for an electric bike, here are the options. 

Motor choice: 

• GMAC – more like a motorcycle because it has a higher top speed and a twist throttle. Source: Grin Cyclery. https://ebikes.ca/product-info/grin-kits/gmac.html GMAC motors also offers regenerative braking, which is both effective at slowing you down, fun from a gee whiz and environmental perspective, and better for the life of your disc brakes.   
• Bafang 750 . Mid drive motor with modes. Still very powerful, possible better at climbing steep hills. You change speeds by going up or down on with your mode buttons. Bafang systems do not have a twist throttle but they do have a ‘Nitro Boost’ thumb button, which is useful for getting through yellow light. We call it Nitro Boost, because it delivers 120% of full power. You can use it continuously (at the expense of battery life). The most effective use of the Nitro Boost is to allow you to be in a lower mode like 1 or 2, but have access to full power when you need it. Once you are in mode 4 or 5 the Nitro doesn’t do as much, relatively speaking. We do not recommend using the Nitro from a dead stop. It puts a lot of strain on the chain. 

Battery choice: 

Both GMAC and Bafang 750 systems can use 48 or 52V batteries. You can also ‘overclock’ your system for a higher top speed, with a 72V battery. This is fine on a GMAC motor but risky on a Bafang 750. On a Bafang 750, using a 48 or 52V battery gives a lot of peace of mind because millions of others are using the same voltage and you know you won’t be overheating your motor. 

Battery form factor will depend on your bicycle frame. The most common battery type is the ‘Shark’ style, which mounts where a water bottle normally goes (and uses the same screw holes). Because it’s the most common, it is also a good value (mass produced). But keep in mind that this style battery will have an upper limit of approximately 0.7 kWh capacity, which may be too small for your needs. 

Both GMAC and Bafang 750 seem to have similar range. Terrain and how you ride has everything to do with how long you actually get from your system. Hills = smaller range. Riding full throttle or Mode 5 = smaller range. Flats = long rang. Going slower = long range. Between GMAC and Bafang 750, one does not seem radically more efficient than the other. 

If your frame is compatible with the largest ‘shark’ style battery packs (0.7 kWh) you can expect a range of 25-30 miles on flats with occasional hills. For heavier cargo bike use on hillier terrain we generally recommend 1 kWh.

As a useful data point,  I was able to go 13 miles with a medium light load over very hilly terrain in Nevada County with a 0.5 kWh battery recently. 

Custom battery installs: 

Fees: 

• Motor install fee $500. This is an estimate and can go up if major custom work is required to complete your build. All ebike installs are finicky and require some filing and fiddling. Major custom work would mean fabricating a completely new bracket to deal with a fit issue with your bike. We are generally able to hit the $500 build fee without increasing it. We will certainly try to flag all potential issues during the initial walkaround of your bike.  
• Parts other than batteries: 
  • If you buy and bring us all the parts, and no ordering is required, we’ll charge only the build fee.
  • If you require us to tell you what to buy in order to bring us parts, we’ll charge at $100-200 consult / system design fee. 
  • If you bring us most of the parts but some additional purchasing is needed to get through the build, we’ll charge accordingly and try to let you know as much as possible ahead of time. 
  • If you want us to be a complete one stop shop, we will either charge regular retail prices listed on ebikes.ca for GRIN products such as the GMAC motor or 1.4X the retail prices of Luna Cycle on Bafang systems. The reason is that we are GRIN dealers and are listed on their official dealer page, while LUNA Cycle doesn’t offer dealership, but has the best prices on Bafang systems. 
• Battery pricing: 
  • We sell batteries! Some bikes benefit from custom battery installs because it allows better range and perhaps lower center of gravity. Or perhaps the bike doesn’t have a place for a battery. On the folding bike above there was no other option.  If so we will price as follows: 
    • $1 per Watt Hour + custom case price of $300-500. Custom cases are shown in the photos. 

Craig and Sha Myers are the brains behind Little Panda Craft Ice Cream, located in Missoula, Montana. So not only is Missoula home to the bicycle touring HQ of the nation but also, pedal-powered ice cream! The two combined are enough to make me consider relocating to the Big Sky State.

Little Panda is no longer operating, but they were located at the Original Missoula Farmer’s Market, in the food court area, right next to the Burlington-Northern Railway building. 

It bears noting that we asked Little Panda for their Ube recipe but since this is one of their tastiest, flagship flavors–they rightly kept it under wraps. 

But wait, there’s more!

Check out this vegan, ice cream recipe Craig and Sha have so sweetly shared with us: their most authentic, Montana flavor, Huckleberry!

Enjoy from Little Panda!

This bulletin addresses issues with seat post sliding performance. A correctly functioning seat post should be easy to slide up and down with one hand. If there are positions where it gets stuck, please see the three sections below.

1. Check which bolt you have: Check if the anti-rotate bolt behind the seat post is a domed button-head type. We’ve found that this design of bolt can cause issues with sliding performance. Even if your seatpost is sliding fine, we’d like to send you the replacement.

Get a replacement: Contact us and we will send you a replacement that doesn’t scratch the seatpost slot. Contact info below.

2. Deal with existing scratches: Check for scratching and burrs around the groove on the back of the seat post. You may notice that the seat post gets stuck as it slides into the frame in specific areas where the seat post is heavily marked or scratched.

Fix: Requires a sanding tool such as emery board, file, or sandpaper. If you would like us to send you one, please contact us, info below.

• Remove the seat post from the bike. The hex key that comes with the bike will be needed to remove the anti rotate bolt.
• Sand around and in the groove to remove sharp edges and burrs. Avoid breathing the dust. For the best sliding performance, you must take the rough spots all the way down. If your seatpost is really chewed up and you would prefer a fresh start, contact us for a new post!
• Immediately clean up any dust with a wet paper towel and wash your hands after completing the process.
• Repeat sanding as necessary.

3. Chatter: Seat Post chatters when sliding down and needs precise manual guidance in order to slide; especially when the seat is extended to a higher number, like 9 or 10.

Fix: Lubricate the seat post with a silicone-based grease. If you would like us to send you some, please contact us, info below. How to apply the grease

• Raise the seat post all the way up and clamp in place
• Apply the lubricant onto the post near the top, middle, and bottom to form 3 rings, about the size of a rubber bands
• Spread the lubricant over the whole seat post with a small piece of paper towel, napkin or rag (approx the size of a credit card)
• Slide the seat all the way up and down five times
• Using a fresh paper towel, wipe off the excess lubricant

If these or other performance issues are happening to your Fender Blender Pro, please contact us for support: 1-(888) 354-2453 techsupport@rockthebike.com

Are you looking to get a replacement seat post clamp/lever? We have an older style and a new style. Help us determine which style you have so we make sure to send the compatible part.

Please let us know in the NOTES section of your order.

In order to figure out which style is compatible with your bike, you will need to look at the area beneath the clamp on the frame.

Does it have a screw hole?

YES screw hole = newer style

NO screw hole = older style

The Off the Wall Pro and Off the Wall stand are pedal power generators that produce AC (alternating current) similar to wall power used around to world and can directly power many devices.  The voltage and frequency will vary with the speed of the pedaling.

Most devices will require a switching power supply (often include with the device).

How do I tell if my device has a switching power supply? If you look at the back it will read “INPUT: 100 – 240V” on the back of the device, as seen below. Examples include most newer chargers and power cords for laptops, cell phones, tablets, and many other devices. If the device only has a single input such as “120v ” it will not be compatible. 

Not all devices are compatible.  

Many power strips have surge protection circuitry that is not compatible with the variable voltage and frequency range of the Off the Wall.  Instead use power splitters when you want to add extra devices.

Devices with brushed motors that require AC power will likely not work. Many fans, vacuums, blenders, and drills need a particular frequency (60HZ) in order to spin. However DC motor devices can be powered with a separate power supply.

Some fluorescent and led light bulbs have circuitry that is only rated for 120v and can burn out.

DON’T plug in any device that is irreplaceable. A perfect example would be a vintage guitar amplifier. Why risk it? 

We now include an over-voltage protection circuit, but it only protects devices that are rated to input up to 240 volts.  When the voltage reaches around 230v the circuit will drop the voltage down back to around 110v. This will not protect devices that need a specific input of 120v or need a stable frequency rating of 60 hertz.   Some devices can be damaged by receiving variable voltages or frequency. This includes power strips that are designed to protect against surges. Higher voltages happen when people pedal really fast, and this is more likely to happen if the bike is in too hard of a gear. In our experience, pedaling too fast is not something you will ever do by accident. It only happens when a pedaler gets on and wants to see what happens when they pedal like crazy. The over-voltage protection circuit helps to keep many devices safe in the case of fast pedaling.

Pedal Power should be an attended activity. We do not recommend leaving your Off The Wall unattended for several reasons. 1) People could plug in the wrong kind of devices, ruining them and possibly risking electrical fire. 2) Any time people get on and off a bike there’s a chance your help will be needed to make that safe and easy. 3) Any time a bike is unattended there’s a higher chance people will get on and pedal really fast, which can cause damage to some devices.

When using the Off the Wall stand with your own bike, choose a bike with gears. Select a medium-hard gear, probably not the hardest gear on the bike. If your bike has 3 speeds in the front, you probably want to be in the middle group,  and then choose the hardest or 2nd hardest gear in the back. Once you determine what the best gear is for pedaling, DO NOT let your pedalers change the gear. You may want to tape the shifter or use the limit screws of the derailleur to lock the gear. You will know you need to be in a harder gear if your device turns off even when you are consistently pedaling. You will know you need to be in an easier gear if it feels too hard! You will know you are in the right gear IF, when you plug in a 60 Watt device, such as a laptop computer, pedaling feels like biking around town. You can use a watt meter, voltage tester or purchase our Comparator display to help with this test. Keep in mind a laptop that is fully charged already will consume no power. Best to allow your laptop to drop to 50% charge or lower before trying the test.

 Add a Comparator display so that you can see wattage, voltage, current, and watt hours generated.  Highly educational!

Given all these warnings, you may be wondering what ideal usage is. Here are some examples:

• Charging a laptop. All recently made laptops have Switching Power Supplies. This is a 50-60W effort, perfect for learning about how much effort it takes to power up this common item. Great for getting a workout and using your energy.
• Powering a USB hub that charges 10 cell phones (or iPads, etc). We have a USB brick available for $100.
• Doing a lightbulb comparison station (LED vs. Incandescent). For maximum effect, we recommend using 2 60W incandescent lightbulbs vs. 2 equivalent LED lightbulbs. Use our Comparator or power splitters and switched sockets to go between the two modes. If you use too few incandescent bulbs they will burn out by being overpowered.  Some LED and Fluorescent bulbs have circuitry that is not compatible and will burn out.
• Loudspeakers. Many newer powered speakers have a switching power supply. You can look at the writing near the plug to know for sure. Use the volume and a watt meter to demonstrate that louder music requires more power. Feel the difference in your legs. Careful blasting people with loud music! Not every speaker is compatible. To prevent damaging speakers, we recommend using one we’ve tested. We’ve tested and love the Mackie DRM series including the DRM215. And we’ve also tested and approve the less expensive  EV ZLX series.
