No shifting issues, no noise, I just wanted to do this for the first time so I know what to expect. The mess was a little larger than I thought :) For chain maintenance, I purchased a chain scrubber, I used purple degreaser (1:1 dilution) and a few brushes for the cassette and derailleur...

I've just reached 180 miles on my new ebike (Bosch mid-drive) and cleaned and lubed my chain and cassette for the first time. I've never done this before. I noticed the teeth on the sprockets showing wear, is this type and amount of wear to be expected after 180 miles?

I have the 2022 T10, taking @Roamers word on geometry, I'll add that a handlebar with more rise and (more importantly) sweep really made my 57 much more pleasant. I'm 5' 11" and 205 lbs (180 cm and 95 kg) and need a very upright riding position.

I'm wondering if a datasheet or other documentation is available for the controller in my 2022 Ultimate T10. I'm not trying to repair or modify anything, I'm just curious.

A touch of dielectric grease did the trick, no cutting required.

OK, chapter two... since I couldn't discern any movement from my front suspension using my body weight on the bars, I greased it with white lithium and set out to lower the preload. The adjustment is exactly as documented above: Don't miss the distinction between the five-sided and the hex...

I'm only 150 miles in, and a novice ebiker with no other bikes to compare it to, so my opinion may not count for much - but it seems well made, forgiving of my mistakes (well, all but one really dumb one), and highly adjustable. Unlike my wife's bike, I can draw the battery down to zero with no...

Synopsis: this front fork is branded "post-moderne", http://postmoderne.com.

The PDF in the above thread explains it well, and includes a picture: https://forums.electricbikereview.com/attachments/unicon-fork-adjustment-instructions-copy-pdf.152904/

These posts are incredibly helpful, thanks @Chazmo and @Base. The linked thread above does indeed have some very helpful content.

Do you use one strap per wheel, one strap per bike, or one strap for both bikes?

Headslap - answering my own question now, sorry: This is not my video or my bike, it just happens to be the same color. The little protrusion is intended to mate with the top pin on the charging plug per the above video. I'll try putting a little dielectric grease on it and see if it gets...

@stompandgo thanks for the answer. It's not new, no dealer option for me. (a recent upway purchase, a 2022 model). "Heat on tab" meaning the entire black rubber piece, or just the little protrusion on the back? If I trimmed the little protrusion some, it >might< mate up with one of the pins...

+1 on the big nylon tie strap. I also have one metal loop per wheel, fixed horizontally, which is a common design on the less expensive racks. And yes, the weight of the bikes will, in normal, short-range, paved-road circumstances, be adequate. However, planning for e.g. emergency maneuvers...

I've purchased an inexpensive hitch carrier for our two ebikes. I went cheap because it's for short-range, paved-road use only. It's adequate but it came with four rather small straps with metal squeeze-to-open buckles on the end to secure the wheels. I'm wondering if anybody has come up with...
