Hi JoMurphy, This EBR thread should answer your questions (just look for my "SicPuppy" posts): https://forums.electricbikereview.com/threads/just-purchased-received-8-25-23-a-lectric-xpedition-2-failed-tubes.54038/#post-620870 As of March 30, 2025, I own three ebikes using 20" fat tires. They...

Hi JoeDirt, Welcome to the most excellent EBR website forums. Thanks for your input on the water bottle set-up. I actually rely on this visual display, as mounted on the ebike, to show fellow ebikers, in an actual interaction, how to better manage their own ebikes' cockpit dashboard/sitting...

Hi UrbanCowboy, It really is like the Wild Wild West out there in ebike world these days. And it's only gonna get more congested with new start-up's arriving daily. So, all we buyers can do is just keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best. I checked out your ebike on Amazon. From...

Planetary gear set with clutch for 1000watt rear hub BaFang and Hengtai/Shengyi motors.. Hi all, For this posting here on the BaFang Forum to make complete sense to you, the reader, I strongly suggest first reading the following 2 postings of mine over on the ArielRider Forum: [#10]X52.. My...

[#11]X52.. The 1000watt rear hub motor “grindage” fiasco explained..FINALLY!! My newest UPDATE is the EBR thread link at the very end of this post. Hi all, This is the update that I have been hoping to forward to you viewers for the past 10 months. Today is June 27, 2024. This whole...

HiAll, I just want to inform you folks about my latest ebike battery “what the hey” scenario. Today I headed out on my usual 50 mile ride. Depending on which ebike I am riding that day, I either use 2 batteries OR 3 batteries. Since the beast of the day is my newly rehabilitated (kind of)...

Hi Kayakguy. On June 18, 2024, after a 10 month "down time", I have FINALLY mastered The Beast (so to speak). I have been doing 50-mile rides on it every day since then just to be sure that no other gremlins have been hiding in plain sight. I will eventually be doing a [#11 X52] posting with...

Hi Catalyzt, Thanks for the kind words. Yes, I do tend to ramble on most of the time as I attempt to convey my hard-learned lessons on to other EBR viewers. And nowadays, with so many new ebike companies out and about in their attempts to penetrate the already saturated market, I am hoping...

Hi all, Since this particular thread has generated 8,000+ views thus far, I am aware that some of those past viewers will have a “WATCH” to alert them for any new postings to it. That being the case, I want to utilize this space to bring attention to yet another EBReview thread of mine. It...

ProphetZarqon, ovt, and tomjasz: You each have hit the nail right on the head when it comes to the Reention Dorado battery casing for ebike usage. However, there is now a “ReentionDorado battery purchaser beware” factor to deal with. It involves this company: WIREDebikes...

[#16][M2S ebike] My new 2023 All-Terrain Cargo ebike.. [this thread will be like no other that I have ever posted here on EBR, so please bear with me.] This 2023 m2s(brand) AllTerrain Cargo(model) ebike is my newest toy https://sale.m2sbikes.com/products/all-go-cargo. It is, currently (as of...

I recently discovered that my newest toy, a 2023 M2S(brand) ScoutCargo ebike, has that exact same requirement (PAS"0" equals No Throttle Power). I originally thought that something was amiss.

Yes, the spacer remedy(use washers) should work. I've used that option on numerous occasions. I even have a little bag of those washer spacers in my crank nut/bolt/etc box. I can't believe that I didn't think of that earlier. SO, yes, go for it. As for the outer chain guard: use an outer spocket...

Here ya go: https://www.amazon.com/Shimano-Altus-FC-M311-Bicycle-Crankset/dp/B002I7K5LC/ref=sr_1_11? I looked for a 165mm (length) crankset, but no such luck. The above unit has the square taper hole, the outer chain guard, and 42t/32t/24t setup. Just look at the 24T inner ring as an "inside"...

Have you considered going with just 2 chainrings: a 28t(or 30t) and a 42t? The 28/30 would split the difference between the 24t and the 34t. Seems like that would work OK. Also, if you do decide to stay with the 3 chainring setup, the Deore XT/XTR long cage derailleur should handle the...
