proper way to use the battery
<< How often to Recharge >>

I was told by the Currie Customer Service (Chatsworth, California) that "To maximize the life of a Sealed Lead Acid (SLA) battery, you should drain it completed for three times first, then recharge it overnight after each subsequent ride". It was a bad advice; it made my battery die after first drain.

Then I bought a new battery from Amazon. Now I follow the instruction from manufacture --- Charge it fully before first use; then recharge it to full after each subsequent ride (regardless long or short) whenever possible. It also cautioned, if recharging overnight, always unplug in the morning, never leaving the battery in overcharging state for more than 24 hours. This will shorten the life of the battery.

An environmental website regarding SLA batteries for eBikes has indicated that we had better not consume more than 50% of battery's capacity before recharging; this will greatly extend its life. Conversely, using...

Extra Battery for eZip Bicycle
One of my concerns in riding an eBike was "getting caught" away from home with a dead battery. Further, knowing the distances offered as expected range on the eBikes assumed someone slightly less voluminous than me - that's a mild mannered way of stating I am somewhat rotund. So, it just made sense to have a second battery. This allows me to travel 1 battery's distance away from home, knowing I have a like amount of reserve energy to make it back. Fact is, since using the eBike, I've rarely had to use the second battery to make it home. No surprises with the eBike or the batteries - both work well, and I'm using the older SLA type of battery.m
do not buy it. You will regret
I only charged it about 20 times, then my battery died.

Reminding: the currie tech only has 30 days warranty because they know the quaility of this battery is really bad.

Perfect size for my commute.....

Best cycling pack
I have owned this pack for over 12 months, and it has been a dream to own. As a cyclist who rides their bike for general commuting (I live in the city), and roughly 1.5 hours (round trip) every Mon-Fri to and from work, the bag is the perfect size. It's not the perfect size if you're the type of person who overpacks, but it works well if you don't "need" to bring 2 jackets or something.

COMMUTING TO WORK: I can fit my shirt inside the hydration/bladder pocket (I don't need 3 litres of water to cycle to work!), while my pants, underpants, work socks, belt, and lunchbox can fit into the main compartment. I can carry deodorant, moisturizer, hair wax, and a bike multi-tool/Allen key set and puncture kit in the second compartment. There's a small "soft pocket" that holds my slim wallet, coins, keys, and Samsung Galaxy S II phone. My small, orange Kryptonite U-Lock fits perfectly into the outside pocket at the front of the bag, which is meant to hold wet gear...
Good pack, nice form factor. Tough to dry out.
This pack works great for day hikes and the 3L capacity ensures that you have more than enough water for the day. The storage area can hold a light rain jacket and your lunch, but not much more. It is a bit pricey for a hydration pack and the design of the reservoir makes it extremely difficult to dry out after use. The reservoir is designed to colapse flat and the only way that I can get it to air dry is to stuff it with wadded up paper towels to hold the walls of the reservoir apart.

One Amazing Piece of Survival.
I ride epic mountain bike tours, of over five hours duration on the trail. This means I need to be prepared for almost anything, and need to start early when it's cold. By noon, the temp really goes way up and I need to stow away the jacket in the pack. I also can hold food, energy snacks, spare tubes and my bike tools too. Holding 3L of water also means you can go the distance. The M.U.L.E expands like a Puffer Fish with stuff so amazingly well I cannot leave home without it, on long rides. It even works well on hikes too. It's a very well thought-out product, designed by bikers...for bikers. Everything cinches and straps down cleanly, so snagging bushes will not be of concern. It will survive crashes and still protect your backside. The durable Nalgene rubber bladder is the same material as a waterbed, so it will not burst on you suddenly. The handy water fill port can even accept small blocks of ice, for longer fluid cooling. I cannot find single fault of this great piece of...
Perfect size for a day on the trail or at Disney World
I bought this pack specifically for my Honeymoon at Disneyworld, but have owned other camelbak products that have served me well on the trail.

I bought the mule because its size and fluid capacity are perfect for spending a day wandering around a Disney theme park with my bride. It holds my camera in a lined pocket, my sunglasses and video camera in the front pocket, snacks, sunblock, cell phone, souvioneers, etc in the main compartment, and a stuffed mickey mouse fits nicely in the area meant for a bike helmet.

As for the trail, I always carry my camelbak because the quality is great and its very comfortable to wear. The materials used really stand up to the wear and tear of hiking, biking, and the occasional tumble.

The Mule is a great size for a few hours of outdoor activity, its not too large, but its large enough to hold the essentials (snacks, map, first aid kit, camera, light jacket, etc).

The Mule is a comfortable, durable, and worth...
