My headlight is USB powered and connected parallel with the tail light's USB power line. The tail lights turns ON once the bike is on, so no more forgetting to turn it ON or OFF. All my lights are getting power from the bike's battery pack, USB output. I run the cables inside the frame, so...

I used dremel tool to flatten the surface of the mount where the bottom surface of the wattmeter sits. I don't remember what material I used for the rectangular plate. Nice bike. Prodeco is a well made eBike. I'm very happy with mine.

Here is the mount that I used. I found it on eBay for $2.79 when I got mine: (Link Removed - No Longer Exists) - Modify/trim the holder as shown on the third picture - make/cut rectangular plate (such as compact Disc). This will help your installation more solid. - Open the Wattmeter case (two...

Yes, the VoltBike Yukon is only 500Watts, compared to Prodeco XR which is 600Watts. Based on my wattmeter installed, my XR draws 650 to 680 watts (continuous) going uphill @ 16mph (electric only, no pedal), I'm 155lbs. I could see the Yukon struggling, if it does not deliver more than 500watts...

Wow, looks like you've got most of the stuffs you needed, even before your bike arrives. I might pick up the incredibell too. I like the size of it. I'm sure you're gonna love your new Prodeco bike. It actually looks even nicer than on pictures. FYI, Prodeco now also sells an extra battery pack...

Here is a quick look of my bike I just recorded. Watt meter, headlamp and tail lights all powered from the bike's battery pack. They are very low on energy usage, so it does not affect ride time/range. Once the bike is powered ON, all accessories are automatically powered as well. The headlamp &...

I'm pretty short, 5'3" height, my seat is on it's lowest adjustment so my foot could reach the ground, barely. As mentioned above, it's a semi relaxed position. As a commuter bike, I would give it 8 on ride comfort. I had to replace the stock saddle with a more comfortable one, and it really...

- Fully charged my battery today. Meter showed 41.04V Then took it for a ride, 'till it hits the voltage cut-off, and stops the motor. * City riding * Electric only (no pedal), Normal riding and stops such as intersections. 50% drive on bike lanes. Some slight grade (uphill). - Full charge...

George, if I decide with the build, I will probably get those laptop batteries. I will have to open the cartridges and solder the batteries into series & parallel to 48V. Just checked LunaCycle, yes, their prices are pretty reasonable. Those Laptop batteries comes in different capacities. Most...

Hi George, yes, CA just passed the 28mph on eBikes. So I called Prodeco the other day. I was told that I would have to replace the motor, controller, & the battery to bump my speed. In short, pretty much, replace my bike. I need something better than this. I intend to keep this lovely Prodeco...

- http://www.ebay.com - http://www.banggood.com You might also wanna try and use this aluminum clamp, if you are getting the same USB light, and fix the light permanently on that bar/mount. May need a bit of mod to make it work. -...

Bright USB Powered from Banggood. Luckily, this Prodeco bike has a USB output. All cables (light and watt meter are intact, inside the frame, with the stock cables. Both devices are automatically powered once the bike is turned ON. - http://www.banggood.com -...

I installed a wattmeter on my bike. With no or very minimal pedal, full throttle for the most part, for 6 miles, mostly flat with some very minimal grade (uphill) - 6miles - 3.07 Amps used (battery capacity is 14.25Amps) - average of 10-12Amps current draw at full throttle, flat road, @20mph...

Yes, I should have mentioned that on my post. I can only go 20-21mph on my Phantom XR. The only time I can beat the 20mph limitation is going downhill, which is not a a good idea going too fast down grade. On a flat surface, I'm pretty much stuck on 21mph, even if I pedal fast. The controller...

Correction regarding my previous post. Calculation one cent/mile was incorrect. I should have not included the initial KWHr that I loaded on the battery pack out of the box. I did more biking today and re-calculated the new numbers. I am getting 4mi to 5miles for every penny (electricity cost)...
