WHY I miss Gardner Martin, the Original ER Owner… :-(
For the record, I have (HAPPILY) owned an Easy Racers TE, EZ1, Gold Rush Replica, (Polished Aluminum) and a Gold Rush Titanium recumbent. All my ER bikes were a DREAM
and I was never disappointed in any of them. When Gardner Martin passed on,
it was like a personal Family member loss to me. Yea, he was that kind of inspirational person! There have been some concerns raised about ER these days, as a result to some posts seen at BROL. Hi there Easy Racers - Where Are You? Is one of the posts; that apparently got so HEATED, it got locked by the head honcho BROL master, Bryan. There was actually a thread before this; that also got locked.
The issue is where is Easy Racers and are they still in business? Their establishment apparently… got broken into and now there seems to be no one around… and there has been little communication forthcoming from anyone, representing ER. Even the so-called last post, by Bryan (As he locked the thread) shows a rather inconclusive response from the ER organization. OK, there was a break in…, they are trying to re-set things up and………………………..
No mention as to even “IF” they will be back to normal operations or before too long. This has got to be un-nerving for ER owners and even more specifically for their dealers. (Especially if they have $$$ plunked down for ordered product / bikes) While I mean no disrespect towards the latest ER owners, they obviously are not descendants of Gardner Martin! At least with him, you always know where you stood and what was REALLY going on! ![]()

EZ Biker Will NEVER use these web services again!
I was looking forward to registering for the upcoming bike event, Ride With A Heart, being put on by my Special Friend Kerry (Pinkie). To register, you have to go through active.com and I attempted to do so, when I saw the so-called service fee charge…
Anyway I tried to proceed through the registration, but my request was declined! YEAAAA!
I realize the online service places make their money by doing these registrations; BUT for me, that just adds more cost to something, (While padding the pockets of those online service with my $$$) and TAINTS the good will desire to contribute to the worthy cause. Unlike others, I do watch my expenses; to avoid facing a wall of debt. Additionally, I have signed up for other worthy causes, only to find out (Again) the majority of my fee paid, went into the pockets of the service used
to collect the registrations and not specifically to the intended cause. I would very much like to do that event and some others; BUT I’m not EVER going to register, using these online services!
I’ll write the event organizers a check or pay cash, PERIOD! If that’s not suitable; I don’t need to be part of their event! ![]()

Sebring Prep continues!!! Bike lights / Batteries Dial in time!
Hey EZ nice to see you up Boynton Beach area today! Can I as a rather DUMB question? Why do you leave your bike light on, after it’s daylight? Signed Jan
Hello Jan, Thanks for your email and remember, no question is dumb!
Nice to see you today and I managed to crank out a nice 70 miler, in preparation for the 24 hours of Sebring, February 18/19th. Not only do I need to get the miles in, but so do my bike light batteries! 12 hours of that event will be in the dark and on a race track, (Sebring – an old airport) that likewise is VERY DARK. Unlike other raceways, there is no lighting and so you better have a really good light system;
if you intend to do this event. So that’s why you saw my lights during the daylight hours; as I’m conditioning the batteries, so they will be dialed in for the event. For now, (With my present battery) I can do about 3.5 hours at 1600 lumens! (Brightness) BUT I plan to drop that down to 1200 Lumens and thus my hours run time should be in the 4 to 6 hour range.
So the 2 batteries I have now, (plus 2 that came with my lights) should be the perfect setup. ![]()
The Cadillac Bent!!!
NOW here’s the gimmick bike the recumbent industry should have seized on, years ago…
You have class, style, unlimited driving range, without even the need for consumable fuel!!! ![]()
