my point is quality mid drive motors like my Yamaha/Giant motor do not destroy drive-trains if you are shifting properly and do not ignore maintenance. you are the rare person that does not abuse your hub drive Ebike. I assumed you were like most riders I know that abuse their hub drive Ebike...

200lbs? not immense :) the problem here is customer support, what do they have to say? I would start there. if they have no solution unfortunately your on your own. what is the purpose of that top cap? hard to tell by your photo, air valve underneath or does it turn to increase pre-load? show me...

hah! exactly! I just paid $950.00 for a spare giant energypack sourced from Giant for my Dirt-E+0 pro mtb, no problem for me since anything else is a significant risk.This is not an inexpensive way to bike. NYC recently shut down dodgy Ebikes with exploding batteries from Ebay etc.NYC was crazy...

trying to salvage this bike, my wife no longer interested with mtbs. she bought a Trek Verve+ ebike;)

LG shifter arrived today. LG Rear derailleur is very stout so as to handle the enormous LG cassette.

pretty much the same issues I had with E- BikeKit I installed on a mtb commuter years ago, they have a very good reputation for this type of item. I knew what i was getting into, I was an electrician in the Navy and those skills are necessary with any made in China ebike components. The loose...
