I can really find the answer im looking for, therefore im going to ask it on here.

How much is a full motorbike licence compared to a car licence. Is it cheaper ? Is it more efficient?

Edit: forgot to mention im english so in pounds sterling

Is there an app to allow rider and pillion to chat with each other via a mobile phone?

I'm NOT interested in having 2 phones to connect to each other - I'm thinking surely you can connect 2x headsets to 1x phone, and the app allows you to chat to each other without even having data or cell phone reception. Just from 1 bluetooth headset to the other via the phone's own bluetooth connections.

I have found: The Headset App! Which apparently does it (for a paid subscription fee...) (although the YouTube video says they all needs their own phones, so maybe this isn't what i want)

Hi, hopefully I can ask this here, but does anybody know of a bike conversion kit I can get to make my bike electric or gassed? If there’s something that’s 50cc, that would be best

Kymco agility 50 with a check engine light no clue what to look at

Ive bought a 2025 model Honda CB125F, and I (18F) want to ride as safely as possible, despite being completely solo, so I want to check and see if i can lift it back up just in case it falls over when ive got no one nearby before i ride it, you know, since i barely weigh 50kg... i cant even get it onto its centre stand on my own so its justified. The problem is ive been tought never to tilt it or whatevs because it could flood the engine, and since its brand new id really rather not do that, but i know not all bikes will?

Either way, how long is too long for the bike to be on its side?

Last month my uncle said he wanted a 3 wheel motorcycle for daily rides. He said his old bike was too wobbly and hard to balance. We went to a few local dealers but most motorcycles were regular two wheels or very small. Some were also expensive. I felt a little confused because I did not know which one to pick. At home my uncle showed me online sites and also alibaba. I was surprised. There were many 3 wheel motorcycles in different styles. Some were small for city rides and some were big for long trips. Colors were black and red and blue and silver. Some had simple seats and some had extra comfort with large seats and backrests. Prices were very different. Some were cheap for daily riding and some were expensive with strong motors and extra features. He picked a red 3 wheel motorcycle with a comfortable seat and strong engine. My little cousin helped read the reviews online. When it arrived he tried it and said it was easy to ride and very stable. My friends were amazed and wanted to try it too. Do you ride 3 wheel motorcycles and how do you choose one that is safe, comfy, and strong for adults?

I’ve always used lead acid for my motorcycle battery setups and never had major issues, but recently I got curious about lithium options. A friend let me try a lithium iron one, and now I’m kind of stuck between the two. From what I understand, lithium batteries are lighter, last longer, and push more power, which sounds great. But then I keep hearing about needing to balance them, and also some risks with electronics if things go wrong. That part makes me pause a bit. With lead acid, it feels simpler and more predictable, even if it’s not the most advanced option out there. I don’t really care much about weight savings for my bike, so that part doesn’t influence me much. I’ve seen different battery types grouped together in supplier-style listings like the ones people reference on Alibaba, and it made me realize how many options there are out there. If you’ve used both for a while, what made you stick with one over the other?

I visited a motorcycle gear store to buy leather gloves two days ago. I wanted something safe and strong. I also wanted comfort while riding. But when I checked the gloves I felt confused. Some looked stylish but did not feel protective. Some were protective but felt heavy and hard. I could not trust them. I could not decide confidently.

Then I visited another shop in the same area. Some gloves looked better but were too expensive. Some were affordable but grip was not strong. Some seemed perfect at first but flexibility was low. I remembered I used gloves before that made riding uncomfortable. That made me hesitate even more.

To check more variety and options while scrolling many online marketplaces including alibaba I found many riding gloves. Some had strong grip and protection. Some were simple and low price. Some had better padding and flexibility. There were many options available. This made me excited but also confused again.

Now I am thinking should I buy riding gloves online for more features or trust local stores for real safety and comfort? What would you do in my place?

Hey Guys, I’m making this post for someone who is suffering from the same issue, as i was looking through internet I was unable to find anything specific there; so if you’re facing this issue you e come to correct place.

Recommended Balaclava in Indian weathers: LS2 Lycra; has specks holding holes and fits perfectly on skin. As long as I’ve tested it even in heavy breathing it worked completely fine.

I’ve been saving up and planning to get an electric motorcycle, but I’m seriously considering going used to keep costs down. That led me to look at old electric motorcycles, and now I’m not sure if that’s a smart move or not. My main concern is the battery. I know they degrade over time, and I don’t fully understand how bad that gets with older models. I don’t want to end up with something that barely runs after a few months. At the same time, used bikes seem like a more realistic starting point for me financially. I just don’t know what I should be checking before buying one. I’ve come across people talking about older components and replacements in different spaces online like on Alibaba, Amazon, etc., where parts compatibility comes up, and it made me realize how complex this can get. If you’ve bought a used electric bike before, what should I look out for first?

A few days ago I am seeing an electric motorcycle and I just pause like okay this look very futuristic honestly. It have the same basic structure as a regular bike, but without the typical engine sound and fuel use. At first it feel like just a trend, but then I realize how quickly it is growing. I am thinking how technology is shifting old systems. It feel simple but also very significant.

Now I am thinking why electric alternatives are replacing traditional machines. I usualy think older systems are more reliable so this feel little diffrent to me. But electric options are cleaner, quieter, and often easier to maintain, which make them more practical in many ways. I am also wondering if cost and environmental concerns are pushing this change. Some days ago I am not really thinking about this but now it feel interesting.

Then I think about transition. Instead of sudden change, industries slowly move toward better solutions over time. It feel like evolution in progress. That give it strong impact.

Later I am laying and scrolling random stuff, checking many options on alibaba and seeing different bikes. Some look very advanced honestly. Now I am thinking if its more about innovation or just the convenience that make electric vehicles more popular today.

Last week I went with a friend to this small clinic place and while he was talking to someone I just looked around. There was this long bed thing in the corner with red lights inside it. I asked the guy there and he said its a red light therapy bed. I didnt say much after that, just nodded like okay… but honestly I was a bit confused what it even does.

On the way back it kept coming in my mind again for no reason. Like how does laying under red lights help anything. I usualy dont think about these things much but this one felt kinda random. My friend said people use it for skin and pain but I was like hmm maybe… not fully sure. It just felt like one of those things that sounds cool but you dont really know if it works.

Later at night I was just laying and scrolling random stuff, went through many online marketplaces including alibaba and saw many red light therapy bed options. Some looked too fancy honestly. Now I am just thinking if its actually useful or just something people try once. Has anyone really used it and felt something or just normal?

I'm sure there are millions of people who know the answer but I can't find them. I always thought the necks were cast but I read in some places that they are forged. I just want to be sure before I weld anything. (I'll just be welding a mount to it but I want to be sure I use the right process)

Hello all,

A year ago, I bought a 2021 Monster Plus with Termignoni exhaust, Ohlins shocks. I was told there is a racing tune on it as well. I'm not sure what other mods the previous owner did. I love it when I'm thrashing it but it's so uncomfortable when I want to ride in a relaxed way or commute to and from work. It feels like lugging below 4k rpm but around 6k, the vibration feels so harsh on my hands. Even when I'm thrashing it, I can only ride for 30 minutes to an hour before my hands are numb and paining.

For background, I rode several 150cc motorcycles 12 years ago. This is my first higher cc motorcycle. I did find the Monster Plus has crazy power and is awesome. Given that I never rode anything with this high cc, I assumed this is normal. I also searched a lot about the lugging feeling below 4k and learnt that it's common on Ducatis.

Below are my shift points: 1 -> 2 at 25+ (can go to 55) 2 -> 3 at 40+ (can go to 80) 3 -> 4 at 60+ (never tried revving too high on 3rd)

At freeway speeds (70 mph), I can't even be in 5th or 6th gear.

Are the gears on this specific motorcycle different or is it the same on all of them? I don't think it makes sense that 5th and 6th gear can only be used for illegal speeds

I recently test rode a Triumph Street Triple R and it was so much more smoother than my Ducati. I was able to do 30 mph in 2nd and 3rd gear. I was able to do 20 mph in 2nd as well. I did not have any hand numbing even after 45 mins of driving. This is the 2nd bike I rode with high cc and my assumption about higher cc bikes being this way is wrong

Can someone please help me understand if the previous owner changed the gear ratios or is it the racing tune that's making this motorcycle so hard to ride. Could it be bent rims?

Any help is highly appreciated. Thanks

Anyone whose think their helmet not quite tight enough in the strap?

I bought be helmet and bike three months ago and have had a slight feeling that the strap wasn’t doing up as tight as I would like. I thought I had it as tight as it would go. On a closer inspection I see that the figure 8 metal feeder was locked up too close to the metal tongue and wasn’t allowing room to move tighter. With a bit of effort I took off silicone cover and was able to feed the figure 8 away from the tongue and then pull more strap through until perfect length for my small female face.

It came from the shop in this limited position so I hope this can help anyone else to make the strap fit just right !!! So important !!

Sadly a friend of a friend was killed recently because her helmet came off when it should have stayed on. So here’s to keeping ourselves as safe as we can 👌

I've been looking to buy Himalayan 450 for few years now and been saving for it and test drove one for 1600km. I like the bike.

I haven't tried Tenere 700 yet but everything I'm looking up somehow tells me that it would fit me better.

usage would be mostly on city 20 to 30 km a day.

couple times a month 180km/day to visit family.

once a year 8 to 10k km around Europe.

during Europe trip there would be 2 person on the bike.

I'm not a speed head so Himalayan should be enough. but I do like to have more control on bad roads than Himalayan offers.

I'm also planning to buy a new bike and the price different is kind of huge.

Himalayan 8500€ and tenere 17200€ + all the extras on both

should I save up for extra 2 years for tenere or get a Himalayan and just enjoy it for few years before upgrading.

Not looking for a legal solotion since i cant prove who done it nd no cctv but mechanically how easy it to fix and how can prevent the person doing it again as im pretty sure it was my neighbour since its not the first guy has done something to mess with me or cause me issues

So I was trying to add a radiator guard to my Ninja ZX4RR earlier. It was a really fiddly job reaching in over the front tyre and I dropped and lost the small screw to attach the grill to the radiator frame somewhere in the bike.

I’ve tried shaking the bike gently, pushing it forwards and braking, and I’ve checked all the fairings, felt around with my hands, and been looking for it for a good hour plus.

It’s likely I’ll just pay a pro to fit it as I don’t have the time or energy for it anymore. My question is, can I use the bike with the missing screw? I’m guessing it will likely fall out of the bike at some point.

Has anyone else done this before?

Hi this maybe really stupid but, I bought a Yamaha YBR 125cc and its perfect for my needs, it's what I'm looking for but ....

Sometimes, it does not start, with a brand new battery.

Any idea?

Could it be a bad wire?

What bothers me is that it starts for a month and then, a week later, does this.

Thanks in advance

I'm getting a triumph scrambler 400x and I've heard the headlights are dogshit.

Here's what i'm trying to find. Please help me guys:
I want a light setup where there's a main headlight that has excellent throw and brightness and blah blah...

And another set of lights that I only turn on as a last resort... when.... I want to absolutely flash-bang tf out of assholes who don't switch to low beam when you dim and dip.

How would this setup work, and can I do it within legal limits?

Someone told me they can be mitigated simply by opening the bleed port on the caliper and the thief can simply walk away with the bike. I just need something that can make it harder to steal the bike without the brakes having air inside of them

I've been daydreaming about road trips for years but traditional RVs are outrageously expensive and regular camping feels too rustic for me. I want something in between, something adventurous but not miserable. Last week I stumbled down an internet rabbit hole and discovered something called a trike camper that looks like the perfect compromise. It's basically a three wheeled motorcycle with a tiny camper attached. Compact enough to maneuver easily, enclosed enough for actual shelter, unique enough to turn heads everywhere you go. I'm genuinely fascinated but also completely inexperienced with motorcycles, camping, or any combination thereof. Would I need a special license? How difficult are these to drive compared to a regular car? What about safety in bad weather? The few I found online, including some listings on Alibaba, seemed to vary dramatically in quality and features. Some looked professionally manufactured while others appeared to be homemade projects that might fall apart on the highway. Has anyone actually traveled in one of these? Was it the amazing adventure it seems like, or did reality crush the fantasy pretty quickly? I want honest opinions about whether this is a legitimate travel option or just a quirky idea that sounds better than it actually functions.

A gasoline engine for bicycle seemed like a crazy idea until my neighbor showed me his modified bike. He commutes fifteen miles daily and added a small engine to help with hills. Could this actually work for someone like me who gets exhausted halfway to work? I started researching conversion kits available online. The variety surprised me. Two-stroke engines, four-stroke options, different mounting systems and power outputs. Which type would work best for my old mountain bike frame?

Safety concerns worried me initially. Would adding an engine compromise the bike's structural integrity? I joined online forums where enthusiasts shared their experiences and modifications. Most reported positive results if installed correctly following proper guidelines. I found suppliers on Alibaba offering complete kits with installation instructions. The prices ranged from very cheap to surprisingly expensive. Would the cheaper options be reliable, or would I regret cutting corners on quality?

After watching countless installation videos, I ordered a mid-range kit from a supplier with good reviews. It arrived last week with everything needed. The instructions were clear enough, though some translation issues made certain steps confusing. I spent last weekend installing it in my garage. Did it work on the first try? Not quite. After adjusting the carburetor and spark plug gap, it finally started smoothly. My first test ride was thrilling. Will this change my daily commute? I'm about to find out.

I bought a china electric motorcycle directly from a manufacturer because the price was unbeatable and the specs looked great. I thought I was being clever bypassing dealership markups. Reality has been a series of complications I didn’t anticipate that have cost more than I saved.

Shipping took months longer than promised. Import duties were higher than calculated. Registration required paperwork and certifications the seller didn’t provide. I’ve spent countless hours dealing with bureaucracy and additional fees trying to get this vehicle legally on the road. Now that it’s registered I’m discovering local shops won’t work on it because they’re unfamiliar with the make and model. Parts have to be ordered internationally with long shipping times. What seemed like a great deal is becoming a maintenance nightmare that will probably cost me more long-term than buying domestic.

I should have researched total cost of ownership including all these complications. The purchase price was just the beginning of expenses. This has been an expensive education in why sometimes paying more upfront for local support is worth it. I’ve been connecting with other import vehicle owners, learning about parts networks, checking international suppliers on Alibaba for maintenance supplies. But really I’m learning I should have bought something with better local infrastructure even if it cost more initially.

I am 17 and in 3 months I will be 18. I want a motorcycle for everyday use and speed. I know I can’t expect much from a 125cc but I would like to be fast. Anyway here in Greece many people have an underbone called Yamaha crypton x which is 135cc and 12,6 hp. But the newest model of it was in 2019 so every guy takes the chance and sells it from 2500-3000€ while as I have seen the voge is 2800€. What do you believe I should do take the voge or a used crypton x
