    Cloud 9 elastomer cruiser seat squeak

    Hi all, I recently put on a Cloud 9 cruiser saddle with elastomer suspension. The problem that I have is an annoying squeak when I pedal, particularly on the right downward stroke. I haven’t seen any posts with a fix for this so I was just wondering if anyone has one.Like some kind of lube or...

    Volt meter install

    Hi all...after a long lay off of ebiking due to illness, I'm finally back in the saddle and catching up on projects. This one was a volt meter so I can check my discharge rate as I ride. It's on a 2018 Magnum Ui6. I bought the meter,cable and right angle adapter from Amazon. I had to splice one...

    Battery cutout voltage

    Hi all....my Ui6 is still a wonderful bike. 1635 miles and doing well. The problem I had was self induced.

    Got my Magnum Ui6 - includes periodic updates

    I am so happy for your continued success. It gives me great hope for my Ui6. We had a rotten wet winter and now "sprinter" that is pretty wet. Did get in 18 miles the other morning. Didn't break 1k yet, but I have that goal soon. Thanks for the updates, much appreciated ?

    Using Negative Experiences as Learning Opportunities - What is there to learn from this?

    PM for Keys

    Hi all...recently I had the panic of loseing one of my battery lock keys that came with the bike. I tried to get blanks to make a spare,went to the local hardware store to no avail, and ended up calling my E bike store and Magnum support. The end answer was if you lose both keys go to your ebike...

    .....

    When I was a kid I think it was Mattel that made a fake engine for bikes.It was called a Vrooom Motor. Sounded kind of cool in my kids mind?

    How many times have you heard "that's cheating!"? ?

    It's funny how I got into e bikes. Actually it was from seeing how the Amish use them here in Ohio. The bike shop I got my Magnum at is in the heart of our Amish country. ?
