Hi Luis, What is a "get home kit"? Probably you mean these extra tools you need but exactly what are they? 2 minute exchange, with much practice, is very encouraging. I imagine that is in a shop with stands, lifts, whatever, but still very good. Not that we're counting minutes here but...

Could you just explain, roughly at least, how changing a rear tire with hub motor is different then non electric bike. have seen inferences that is a pita job and harder to do then regular bike but why is that specifically? Need a ride that allows one to fix flat on side of road.

Have you had repeat failures and replacements of controller?

Must say I wish I knew why i'm not notified when thread is added to when I have chosen to be notified. Didn't work when joined, then it did, now it hasn't for awhile

Interesting report, and encouraging. If you stop on a steep hill can you get going again? (actually was worried this could be problem even without trailer)

Thanks Jax, Are you saying that using just the throttle and not pedaling the 100 lb trailer doesn't move or very slowly? Is this on flats? Does seem like just using throttle is a good test for sake of comparison as it removes the riders strength or effort from equation. So any idea how...

Thanks Ravi,-- So you don't have to remove wheel as Cafer suggested?

Is the kickstand steel? If so a welder could put a stub on it. Had to do that once on a scooter. Really amazing when manufacturer messes that up. Keep us posted on electrical problem. A lot of us have unheated barns

Curious why you don't like the Tektro hydraulics and thought the BB7's might be better. If you just prefer mechanicals as I tend to you might try TRP Spyke's. Haven't yet myself but bike with others who say last longer, stop better, and adjust far easier then BB7. dual pads, more even wear...

Tora, get the shakes looking at this. Truly a new universe. But would I be able to work with this also in between having the most enjoyable commutes and fun rides? Like will it come with bosses for a good rack? Seems like plenty power for hauling good load on bike trailer. Am I wrong?

what exactly do you have to do to remove battery? how long? Jeez, that could be a major defect

Hi CafeRoaster So hows it going?, still riding? Any new observations? I'd have problem with severe cold also. Odk battery is listed as not easily removable. Could you say what's involved with that? How much of a pita it is? Regarding standing over bar for more traction. have you tried loaded...

Hi Ann, Do you know this to be true, that one can put suspension forks on U500? v3. Know I had trouble converting a rigid fork bike once.

So how does the version 3 ODK U500 do it. Is throttle limited by magnet on wheel spinning past a switch or what? How about throttle option for CC?

Well I did have watch thread clicked. But, for some reason Got emails later that night.. no other problems my end so a moderator/admin must have fixed it. Court? Anyway, thanks. Just tried change to default as Jay vee said but no improvement. Not important though
