When you get a new BMS, you will wire it to the cells per the requirements of the new BMS. Copying over the old wires to a different BMS can cause trouble if they are not the thing. Sometimes, they skip the first balance wire. They may reverse the order of the wires. WHen selecting a BMS ---...

I've always found the basic entry level Shimano Tourney adjustable. , Sometimes you have to bend the hanger so they are perpendicular to the ground, Twelve dollar part. Might as well put on the twenty dollar Altus or Acera.. We don't need lighter than light Campagnolo parts when we have a motor...

If you put in a good battery and check the wiring to see why it was shorting out the original battery, the bike should be OK, but for liability reasons, your shop can't do either. I am guessing all these hubmotor ebikes cost a minimum of $200-300 to manufacture without the battery, Analysis of...

I've owned a 20" folder similar to the Velotric. Our speeds are 12 mph, and I found that almost every bike I owned would use about 8-10 watt-hour/mile at that speed. Let's raise that to 15 WH for 15 mph. It's what many bike manufacturers use. The Velotic is rated at 48V13AH, which is a nominal...

Lectrics have throttles, don't they? You ought to be able to cruise along at 16-18 mph w/o pedalling, faster than many people on 2 wheels.

International rules specify the 30% charge level for shipping. As a result. I think most batteries leave the factory at 30% and sit there until they eventually get charged by the customer. For that reason, I believe the industry has moved to more efficient battery management systems that allow...

I notice you stress the shift sensor for both the DM01 and DM02, but it's not included in the DM02. I don't think it is needed on a DM02, but if you think so, better put one in the kit.

Brand new chain, Adjusted. You've done all you could. Replace the gear,

As PCEbiker said earlier. pictures and description are needed. Name of bike. Battery voltage. Photo of the display and its name if you know it, Describe the display cabling pr a photo, Same for the motor connector. How much power you are running, etc. Here's some typical motor connectors...

Hard to beat $999, and from what I've read on forums, Lectric does a good job with their online sales model. Most people, aside from those that want concierge service, seem well satisfied. I've owned 20" and 26" fat tire e-bikes but found them a bit heavy and not as much fun as my lighter...

Discovered ebikes 11 years ago when buying myself a new bike. Figured it would get my wife to ride more so I did a little research and ought one for my wife a few weeks later. After I saw how hers were put together, I converted one. We've ridden about 18K miles together since then. She did ride...

Take the battery out. Turn it upside down and look for screws on the bottom, Might be hidden by labels/stickers or rubber plugs, The case splits in half, and you'll see the drilled out keylock screwed to one of the case halves. Not knowing your skill level, opening a battery case can result in...

I think my Kt controllers 17-25 amps and 36 -52 volt batteries have good throttle modulation with thumb throttles. The LCD3 is kind of chunky for a display, but the numbers are easy to read and it show watts and ambient temperature inside the case/ . I am just surprised by the pricing. I've...

$149? THey should throw in the PAS sensor so you know you have one that will work.

Never had the pleasure of seeing a Giant LaFree, but keys are either mounted in the frame or in the battery. If this is your lock and it's in the frame, you should be able to replace it if you drilled it. There's another view where it's held in by two vertical screws.
