If a particular bike model has problems, then it should be posted. It helps future buyers know the truth about the problems with the bike. Also, it might help others who have the same problems, because as the issues are discussed and resolved for one owner, there are other owners who are being...

Thanks to Brian(J) for his clever idea of how to make a tool for this brake adjustment. I used Brian's idea to make my own tool from a feeler gauge ruler and a cut 5mm length of 5mm allen wrench. To hold the allen in place I glued it on the back with JB Weld. And it works great for adjusting the...

Larry, Obviously, I didn't make my question clear. When Currie's design team put this bike together and they saw that the motor prevented easy access to the rear brake inner pad adjustment screw, did they have a solution? Did they have a Park tool or another tool in mind that would allow rear...

Brian(J) originally brought up this problem of adjusting the rear brake inner pad. It is next to impossible to adjust the inner pad without creating a DIY custom tool. Since Currie designed this bike, I would like to know from Currie Tech how they intended for the bike owner to adjust the rear...

MarcD, You are a good, caring person! Thanks for sharing your experience with raising money for cancer research. The world needs more people like you. Thanks.

Everyone's butt is different, but I ride with the Serfas EG-8000 and I find it pretty comfortable. It comes with a 90 day comfort satisfaction guarantee. http://electricbikereview.com/community/attachments/suntour-ncx-sp-12-seat-post-jpg.1138/

Here's the Thumb Throttle I bought. http://www.ebay.com It's a Hall-Effect Throttle. Red wire = +5 volts input Yellow wire = GND input Green wire = Output At zero throttle position: Output = 0.83 volts At max throttle position: Output = 4.61 volts The connectors are not compatible so the...

I've had this pump for years and has always worked for on the road flat repair. Works better for schraeder valves but will do presta. When I had presta I used presta to schraeder adapters and then the pump works great...

I was wondering if anyone would notice that. As always, Brian(J), you have great attention to detail. I thought about the throttle when installing the grips. Since I never use the throttle, why install it? So, I ran a test to see if an error code would result if I ran with the throttle...

Strange for sure. How do they get to their friends house? Do mom and dad drive them everywhere?

My number one reason for bicycling is exercise for my heart. The reason I e-bike is to make pedaling up hills easy enough so I want to go out bicycling and the bike doesn't just sit in the basement.

The lights available for wiring into the bikes system are few and usually pretty expensive. On the other hand, there are lots of choices when it comes to stand alone aftermarket rechargeable lights. It's very little extra work to plug in the chargers for the head light and tail light at the same...

Unfortunately, Michael Schumacher was wearing a helmet, but it did not protect him enough. Sometimes I wonder how much these bicycle helmets really can protect you. Compared to motorcycle helmets, bicycle helmets are pretty light weight. However, I think it's better to have some head protection...

I would try a different type of earplugs. For motorcycle riding I've tried several different types of earplugs and found some keep out the wind noise better than others.

Well, it got up to 95 degrees today. When I began charging the battery after my morning bike ride, I noticed my charger was getting very hot. So, I took Ravi's advice and got out a couple of 12 volt computer fans and a 12 volt power supply and set up the fans blowing on the charger. I was amazed...
