Trump IQ at least 156 Elon Musk IQ about 135 I'd like to be as wealthy as the 'failed businessman'. Elon Musk, justy lucky to have become the richest man in the world, starting numerous industries. I'd like to have some of his 'luck'. Why don't we see how these tariffs work for making America...

If you liked your Pace 500 before, I'd recommend buying new battery atr Aventon $500 or Alibaba $350. Tariffs are going to inflate prices on both batteries and ebikes. 5 years on Rention Dorado battery is good. I rode 10,000 trouble free miles on my Pace 500 before selling it for something...

On my ebike pressing +/- together allows entry to advanced settings. First, though, is the 4 digit password. Default original password is usually found in owners manual.

This is 'bad'. I own 3 ebikes with Brose motors. Outstanding motors. Powerful 90nm. Quiet. Now going to yamha who screwed the North American market. Bad news.

I don't think ANY ebike is going to take you up the hill at 20mph on throttle only. Unless it's a very short little hill. Best to start looking at another alternative.

Throttle only is possible on a relatively short hill with a bafang 500w or more mid drive. Look at the FLX (Superhuman) bikes. Sorry but at 250lbs, it's asking alot. But it really depends on the hill. Some of those California Coastal Range hills are over 4000 ft of climbing. No way throttle will...

If your Core 5 has the brake cutoff then get Auriga+if you want the cutoff switch. If your Core 5 doesn't have the cutoff switch then adding one is complicated. Best brakes usually are 4 piston. The difference between your standard brakes and 4 piston hydraulic is dramatic. But changing to...

I highly recommend the Tektro Orion 4 piston brakes. Much superior to the 350 series 2 piston. You should be able to upgrade your Core 5 and still have throttle. I would purchase Orion without motor cutoff. Do you really need the motor to shutoff when you brake? Don't you stop pedaling or...

That is exactly what I bought as my first ebike in 2019. Ancheer 350W 7 speed 26in wheels for $600. Rode it for a few months and trouble free 1000 miles. Climbed alot of hills. Even tackled a few dirt roads. I liked it. IBut eventually sold it and bought more powerful higher quality more...

I’ve bought a couple of Amazon e-bikes for around $600 to use for very casual paved road riding. They all worked. Probably not going to be the most reliable e-bikes. But for your very limited use, I think they might be fine. You’re asking on a very specialized (pun intended) forum. Most...

Lot of nice ingenuity. But...Why?

Why not just call a bicycle what it is. It's a BICYCLE. Or, for short, bike. I refer to my electrical bicycle as an ebike. I don't know what an acoustical bicycle could be. A bicycle with some big speakers attached?

Just put the motor on blocks. You can now access the screws. I need an impact screwdriver to loosen 2 of the 6 screws. After that it was easy peasy.

I've owned several rear hub Aventon ebikes. One had over 8,000 miles before I sold it. None ever needed rear hub lubrication. I have done rear hub lubrication on a Ride1Up with many miles. It was making more noise than I cared for. It was simple to remove the 6 screws and open the hub to the...
