Phone mount and and rear  rack with a topcase.

As stated earlier you should not use a torque wrench during disassembly,  it will affect the accuracy of the wrench.

Very nice, thanks for sharing. That looks much nicer than the off centered situation I have now.

Rad sells one from Hollywood racks, I purchased it for the wife's City it connects at the stem and seatpost.  We have only used it a few times but it works well.

I have ridden the Withlacoochee trail some. That is a great nice trail. I need to get back down there.

 Yes the responsibility is ours. Everyones action will affect the outcome and we all have invested in this activity, so we should try to preserve it.

Wow, that isn't a problem around here, usually  they stick to the roads. Every once in a while I  will see one.
I live near the Blueridge Parkway and most of the hard-core riders are riding around in that area.
I am not bashing upgrading the  bikes just bringing it to everyones attention that it could cause problems if they are used in areas that they should not be. 
These bikes are around 5 times heavier than a race bike.and 3 times heavier than a mountain bike.
  It will only take a few severe accidents for it to hit the national news radar and when it does something will change. Personally I would rather see speed enforcement but in reality the government will most likely take the easy way out and ban eletric motorized equipment instead of addressing the real cause which will be reckless behavior.
  Even if little Suzy gets off her leash and steps out in front of someone and gets run over mom is going to blame the person on the big electric bike at that point the person on the illegal up bike will most likely be blamed regardless of  fault that's all.

🤣 guess I hit a nerve. I never pointed anyone out, just stated the direction that some folks are taking electric bikes and thought I would point out a potential problem with their plans.
Most of the spandex mafia stay on the road so they do not have to deal with slow moving bikes or pedestrian traffic. 
Sorry I hurt a feeling there snowflake.
Thanks Goose

Lots of folks wanting to upgrade their bikes to make them faster.  Are these people planning on giving up their rights to National Parks and bike paths and relegate the use to motor vehicle roads only, or do they plan on getting electric bikes banned from everywhere but motor vehicle approved areas?
Just wondering banning electric bikes from multi use areas will kill the industry and leave a lot of customers disappointed all because of a small number who want to use them inappropriately.
I have motorcycles and don't see a problem with electric motorcycles but I do have problems with people using overpowered bikes on trails that small children are using to learn how to ride or families just out for a walk.
No one thinks that it will happen to them until it does. Keep in mind if you accidentally kill a child with a modified bike you could be charged for a serious crime on top of having to live with your actions.
Just a little food for thought.

I did a quick quote from Velosurance, maybe I should look into it a bit more.

I run around 18 unless I will be on a lot of pavement then I run 25. I don't like pinch flats and do not get the chance to ride in the snow.
