    How to find a suitable replacement controller

    Oh come on, PedalUma.You could refurb that bike for about the cost of a new one, Meanwhile, for those whose time is cheap, check the PAS sensor signals to see if they flip as expected. Does the display open up? Those buttons on the display are usually membrane switches. Sometimes capacitive...

    What camera do you use if you are into photography, when cycling

    I plan to upgrade my I-phone SE to their newest one. Will still use my micro43 cameras. I bought a new mirrorless Olympus OM5, back in March. This version was released three years ago, but is still 8 years past my last M43 body. The colors were auto-enhanced with an in-camera filter. My...

    How to find a suitable replacement controller

    Looks like a well made bike, Is that the controller? I don't think so. Looks like a cable junction for the handlebars that they decided to clamp to the head tube. The controller is probably inside the box that holds the battery, The battery slides out, no? Should be a compartment in front of...

    Importing from North America Has Become Tough

    With too many ebikes, I used to rotate one mirricycle amongst them, but bikes fall down and the mirror arms broke, I think I now have three. One is held with epoxy and I have another on the bench. Spent close to $75 on the five mirrors. Good mirrors though, Now I use Temu's two-for-five dollar...

    A Fire Warning For An E-Bike Battery Was Issued. It Was Too Late For A St. Paul Couple.

    I was reading how Chevy outsourced almost everything to LG for the batteries in their Bolt EV, A string of car fires was eventually traced to poorly made LG cells from 2017-2020. LG had to reimburse GM and implement some major changes in manufacture. Not all the cells were bad, obviously, but...

    We;re done with biking here. Biggest snowfall ever for November in Chicago area. With the long term forecast, there probably won't be ice-free bike paths the rest of the year. Maybe a January thaw....

    How to find a suitable replacement controller

    If you drop your image so it is right side up into Google image search, it thinks it is a Bigstone C300 display. This AI search engine is pretty smart, It distinguished between the more common 3 button displays, And maybe they are right, because this unitsells for a ridiculous price on...

    Introducing Myself: Mostly a Solo Rider

    Welcome to the forum . An early snowfall has shut us down, but I just crossed 3000 miles a week ago. My wife is just shy of 2400 miles, which means I rode 600 solo. My favorite solo rides are when I pack my bike and drive to a bike path that is new to me. At home, we hit the same routes a...

    How to find a suitable replacement controller

    Looks like a front drive bike with a rear battery? I suppose Smart-Motion ignores your queries? My borswer said their website was dead. Well, the way to find a replacement controller is to post info about it. The above isn't very helpful. Need a piicture of its label, the wires. etc. Need...

    RAD Power Bikes Going Bust

    Wow, until recently, most of us here would say a Rad is good quality, probably more trustworthy than Veloctric, I still think it is. Suggest you join the Rad users group on facebook. See what they;re doing,

    A deal I could not pass up

    You don't have those extra parts in your basement collection of beater bikes? These cheaper bikes usually have the Shimano Tourney TZ-250 derailleur and a 14-34 freewheel that works. No real meed to change, You might swap in cable operated hydraulics for $25/wheel but full SHimano MT200's...

    Hoping this is ok here

    I bought one in 2019. Don't remember where I bought it or what I paid, etc. I was aware that anything that was pumping up past 150 psi had to be built well, so I went for something that looked good. I thought it might double as a tire pump, but volume is way to small.

    Best mid drive motor under 500 Dollars?

    Looks pretty comfortable. My wife has been knocked off her seat by black walnuts and pine cones twice this Fall. I should keep an eye out for a Sun recumbent trike in the future.
