    With 125% tariffs, will the e-bike market die?

    @Romers, for an example, this week someone in the North contacted me outside of EBR to buy a super nice mid-drive with my support in English and with the factory supporting me. The quote came in at a few hundred delivered to his workplace for a daytime signature from UPS. So, with the majority...

    Brand New drift slide 1500w e-bike battery is not working

    It happens all the time. The bar comes in the box usually strapped to the right side of the fork and the display wire gets pulled open slightly. I am going to be honest with this and it is what I would say to a close friend. This bike is a waste of money at any price (unless you are staging one...

    With 125% tariffs, will the e-bike market die?

    I have a Raleigh Hybird in my shop today from beautiful Point Reyes as it falls into the sea. The battery died. But thankfully it was external. So, I installed a new external battery that looks great. It works and the matching black mountain water bottle cage to hold it arrives today. I have has...

    How do I fix left hand brake issue.

    You might need to take it to your local bike shop that sells and supports these bikes. Or drop it off and walk away at Whole Foods for Bezos to deal with.

    How do I fix left hand brake issue.

    @wilspeak, try disconnecting the wire to the display or if it has one between the display and remote that has the M button. Look to see if any pins are bent, if so straighten with a toothpick. Carefully align and reconnect. After that if it is still not powering on look at the connector between...

    Bird 36volt 12.8ah 500watt A frame E-bike wiring

    Does the base have a pigtail to its connector? If so, under its black outer insulation should be the same colors of wires. Where are the thick red and black wires for power?

    That is a full battery. Make sure that the connector to the display is tight.

    first ebike

    Big time stay away from bikes that have no local service like 'Be Cool' these are all internet only bikes that are hype-junk and will cost more in the first three month than the initial price and over the short total life of the 'bike' ten times more and is still junk! Bikes have pedals...

    With the 'My owner beats me,' sticker, in a book I just finished reading, Magical Thinking, people keep sending the author photos of their privates! This was after his first NYT #1 book. A guy from Italy sent a photo with a glass eye in the '4-skin.' Here is looking at you kid. Note that no...

    Where is the controller on this Walmart ebike?

    Wire gauges from the factory are based on specification power anticipations. You will burn wires top to bottom if exceeding them. One variable change impacts all others. You can't just overclock a chip on a slower PC. It all works together, as originally planned. Wires and connectors will be...

    Where is the controller on this Walmart ebike?

    follow a wire and it will lead to the controller. It is the junction box for all functions, with the motherboard and more.

    Hello from Northern California

    Welcome! What did you like about the Juiced Rip Current? What did you learn from that which informs your decisions about what you want in the next one? Been riding any new ones yet? Have you tried torque sensor bikes and how much do you like to pedal? I am in Sonoma.

    Signs of Spring

    The barn swallows are magnificent flyers, they came back on the 4th and hawks cannot catch them, no matter what. The hills are so green, but I had to do taxes and wire bikes indoors today with very few excursions for meetings. We are taking matters into our on hands as far as signage and...
