I'm re-shoeing my Cheetah this Spring...I'm going with a less aggressive tire. The Knobbys were OK, but I feel they're a bit overkill given my driving habits. Anyone have any suggestions and ride experience with smoother tires. Oh, and while they're off, I'm throwing in Tannus liners. Again-any...

I was actually think of these (see link) ...correct me if I'm wrong but if a tire has rounded edges it'll have less tendency to 'self-steer', correct?

How much of a PIA was it getting the rear rim off?

Spring is here and I'm loving the Cheetah! Just a thought-and I'm wondering if anyone here has done it, but has anyone swapped out the factory knobbies for a more smooth treaded tire? I'm thinking of something like this...

Curious---what class does this bike fall under? Is there such a thing as class 4?

The bell that came stock with my Cheetah is OK, but can be much improved upon...I'm looking for a nice brass ringer...Lion Works used to have decent products but I don't think they're around anymore....I'm looking for a loud bell with a good sustain....anyone?

Believe it or not, your best bet would be to check with the golf cart forums...buggiesgonewild.com being the best. Many MANY guys over there have successfully converted their old lead-acid batteries to lithium. Best of luck and let us know how you make out!

I must confess, I'm glad the OP is no longer here...even though his epic analysis of all thing E-bike, he appears thin-skinned and rejects constructive criticism...not the best traits in a person, in my opinion.

Might I add a note to the above suggestion re: removing the tires/rims to attach the fenders? Anytime you need to remove the rims form the bike, be SURE not to squeeze the brake levers. What I do, *just in case* the levers inadvertantly get squeezed is put a small wood shim in between the (now...

That's it!! Perfect...thank you for posting the pics Fat Tire Cruiser!

Would you mind posting a pic of how you mounted that rear brake light? I have the exact same one and cannot figure out how to mount it to the license plate frame....

Thanks for that link...it looks like what I'm thinking about...I'll call their customer service tomorrow and see if it can deal with a fat tire bike. I'll post what they tell me here....

Loving my Cheetah and trying to customize it to my tastes (will post pix soon!) . I'd really like to get rid of the factory kickstand and replace it with a beefier center kick. Anyone done this yet and what's your brand recommendation? TIA

Just bought one last month and really love it! Comfortable ands fast! It gets comments EVERYWHERE I go! People really love this bike. Not too jazzed on Civi's method of selling you their accessories, but that's another post.

So here's an update...apparently Civi uses the bullshit "bundle" terminology when it comes to ordering accessories--ie: you can't order the rack alone...you MUST order the "Rack bundle" which comes with fenders and headlight cage. I already HAVE them, and the only way to order that rack was to...
