I'm wondering if the Wired Freedom would meet my needs. 1500 Watts 153 Newton Meters of Torque From a legal perspective I believe it could be registered with California DMV as a Moped/Motorized bike less than 149cc requiring no insurance. It appears 149cc is around 7hp. With 1hp somewhat...

All of the E-Motorcycles seem quite short and small for my size. Perhaps the Surron Storm, but I'd have to find a motorcycle that is street legal. Even the zero bikes have only at best a 34" seat height. My inseam is 38". So an e-bike seems easier to adjust for my size/height using custom...

I believe torque is the key to getting me up the hill on throttle only. I want to be able to ride on the roads in California so something that still meets the regulations for an ebike. Would like to be able to do 20 mph up a reasonable grade so I can keep up with traffic. Tire preference...

If looking for a solid front axle to replace an axle that is too short on my no name Ebike. It's 10mm with 1.0 Fine Threads and I need 190 mm in length. I see some advertised as rear axles. Can I use a rear axle on the front? Will any steel axle of the right dimension work? Is any of the...

I have a fine threaded M10 axle on my no name Ebike. Can anyone recommend a torque? I have a tendency to over tighten things. Thanks, Jake

Actually just looks like the nipple broke. The spoke is 14G what is the trick to finding the correct nipple replacement?

Does anyone know what spokes are using in the Hard Nine 4.5 Street? Thanks, John

I just unlocked the speed limiting on my Haibike 2017 with Yamaha PW motor. Does anyone know what this motor can handle in terms of durability? Also curious if there are areas of concern I need to keep an eye on? Will the battery heat up quicker? etc?

Looking for information on how to remove the 12 mph speed limiting from a 2017 Yamaha motor system. The system is on a kids sized bike that will be used for an adult. It's a 2017 Haibike Hardfour 4.0. Thanks, John

I'm looking at buying an older haibike kids bike with 24" wheels for an adult who is small. How can I unlock the 11 mile an hour speed restriction?

Just got a call from the bike shop they replaced the smallest cog on the back wheel with the same (Advent Cassette COG). Same thing chain skipping. Then they replaced it with a different brand smallest cog (which is silver as opposed to the rest being black). They said the skipping stopped. I...

Thanks just watched that and went through all the adjustments. I'll give it a ride tomorrow and see if it is any better. What was wrong with your chain? This is a new bike so I'm hoping there aren't any failed components. John

Just got a new TEMPT E+ 3 gears seem fine on the stand but with force behind them when riding the smallest cog on the cassette the bike makes a noise and chain seems to jerk. Any ideas? Thanks, John

Probably 2018. Stored inside all the time without direct sunlight.

I have several yamaha batteries and they are all cracking around the battery display button. Curious if anyone else has run into this problem? What recommendations are there for fixing it? Thanks, John
