Since my new Yamaha can display cadence, I finally know what my preferred cadence range is. 50 to 60! Slower than I'd guessed it would be. I hope the mid motor won't be harmed by that cadence (yes, I shift!).

Wow, thank you so very much! That is such a cool mechanism, and I never would have figured it out on my own!

Do I need to somehow remove the semicircular clip on the end of the nut? Or is there something about the washer-like thing on the inside of the nut? Or something else? I don’t have any special tools with me, just common stuff… hammer, screwdrivers, sockets, pliers, duct tape. Heh, maybe the...

I'm on a vacation trip, and along the way i picked up a Yamaha CrossConnect ebike. I'm having fits trying to figure out how to remove the front wheel so I can load it in the back of my suv without disassembling at the stem. The owner's manual mentions a possible secondary safety device on the...

I hardly ever use my bell. I get better reactions from the clown car horn. It's more audible, people move over faster, and they often express amusement.

I like low IBU beers. One of the local microbrews makes a nice Belgian quad sometimes. Another microbrew in town produced a nice batch of beer fortified with some Scotch whiskey, and that was really tasty; they called it "Way Off Kilter." :cool: Their kolsch is a steady favorite, too. At...

We're talking about a few grand; it's not as though you are dropping $50k-$100k on an automobile. There will be a few rotten apples in every truckload of apples, but that is what the warranty is for. Why fret? Buy an ebike, have fun with it, time's a'wasting. If you happen to be in the one...

Whatever happened to "hell on wheels"? :D

Good to know! Motor is the expensive part I don't want to take chances with. Just thinking of those times I've had to suddenly and unexpectedly stop. Motor off is quick and easy, just press the button a time or three.

I'm about to pick up a discounted Yamaha mid drive. My question: if the motor assist is set to "OFF", will starting out in high gear still lug the motor? Not that I want to start out in high, but smelly brown stuff occasionally happens. Just wondering if turning off the assist is an...

What good is a uart? At least you can smoke your canbus. Oh, wait... 😉

Great info! Thanks! 👍👍 I was confused about proper nomenclature.

I plunked down some money on a '22 Yamaha CrossConnect at a distant dealer, and I'm going to pick it up en route to a vacation where I'll be riding it. But I know (from a brief ride on a CrossCore locally) that I'd like an adjustable stem riser so I can get an upright seat position. The specs...

The exhausted battery voltage should be more like 42V, maybe 41 and change, I think. My guess on the ebike's range would be more like 40 miles.

Remind me, where am I and who are all you strange people? 🤣
