    Chain degreasing and skipping on smallest cog

    Chain is a "little loose", but you haven't addressed that? Take out a link. See what happens.

    Battery voltages.

    Yes. I run a 25A controller on several ebikes. One of them would melt if I were stupid about riding it. Just don't be stupid. .

    Carbon forks?

    What's the axle width of the XP Lite? Is it 135mm like many fat tire bikes or 100mm like regular width tires? These forks are 117mm.

    Lectric XP 3.0 folding e-bike pedals

    We don't have fat tire folders anymore, but have folding ebikes that we never fold. For transport either inside a SUV or on a rack, it's convenient to have folding pedals, It keeps them from scraping things. Sure, upgrade to better folding pedals or quick release pedals. I've considered putting...

    throttle not working

    To restate your problem. The throttle quits working after a minute of using it while riding uphill? How fast do you like to ride the bike? Do you pedal it too?

    Need help to choose my kit

    Are you in Canada or Europe? That's your typical high power motor from China. You could look all day and find them all the same price. It might be better, if you''re in Canada to look on amazon.ca and find an importer in your country or in the USA. I think Ebikeling has an OK reputation on...

    UK to get ghostbuster ebike killer backpacks

    Come on, My motors have nothing in them to prevent overheating, and if you send an EMP pulse big enough to stop a controller, you will have fried it. Also killed the BMS so that battery will blow up next time it's re-charged. Probably whack out my pacemaker too and speed up my insulin pump, if...

    Question about brakes on any/ all bicycles with rim or disc brakes

    My brother had an italian single cylnder Ducati motorcycle and I had a Suzuki, The rear brake and the shifters on those motorcycles are operated by your foot, and these were on different sides. Many is the time I would want do a panic stop and be mashing the shifter instead of the brake pedal...

    Question about brakes on any/ all bicycles with rim or disc brakes

    The US Consumer Product rules say "Unless a customer specifies otherwise, the hand lever that operates the rear brake must be on the right handlebar." That allows the bike shop to move it, but it's going to ship that way. ,

    Round molded connectors require a DIY mentality, You can figure out that yourself, I will leave you this diagram for the 9pin motor connector if you have one. First. make sure it's seated properly. It's keyed, but some people have ,anaged to force them in backward and fry the controller. You...

    Ancheer Model 005637 no power at wheel

    You never mentioned what kind of connectors on the Ancheer controller. Whther it has the flat or molder connectors. The latter are difficult to access. If you have the cheaper ones on the left, which I would expect on an Ancheer, you could stick pins into the back of each connector to reach...

    American Electric 2nd Battery Option.

    Most of the reviews are negative. Why try to prove them wrong?

    Battery "power" drops at about 20%

    The motor wattage is proportional to the voltage. Your 36V pack is 42V at full charge and will drop to around 30V. That's like a 30% swing, It can't go much lower than 30V, because there are safety cricuits in both the ebike and in the battery that will shut it down, With experience, you'll...

    Front or Rear hub motor??

    A typical front hub is 100mm wide between the forks. A typical rear hub is 130-140mm, with most at 135mm. The extra width is for the gear cluster, and even if you removed it, the rear motor usually wouldn't have enough threads on the axle to engage the fork. The only time I've been able to...
