    New front light and adding a wired rear light.

    Lol. I acknowledge @goldconch as the OG Dolphin modder. So the lights arrived and I'm very happy with them, the rear light is perfect for the rack and the front light will easily mount to the fork instead of the 3 holes I'll need for my front rack (when it arrives). I'll write a more detailed...

    Controller Modification for more speed?

    I have an LCD8H and it works fine, the only real advantage for me is the usb. I wish I had got the vertical version becuse it really crowds the handlebars if you want a cell phone holder as well. I thought you could chnge the settings with the stock controller, it was just displayed better on...

    New front light and adding a wired rear light.

    I was lamenting the lack of posting here when this forum was so lively and helpful back in 2020. The solution of course is for me to actually make a post. I recently ordered some lights from https://ride.lezyne.com/collections/led-lights-e-bike The ebike macro drive 500 seems like a decent...

    Looking for recommendation for cheap ebike. Probably asking the impossible.

    I want to sincerely thank everyone for their replies. I went to tell her about the Ecotric and she'd completely lost interest, I feel a heel for not replying sooner. I will relate the walmart option to her to see if it'll rekindle her interest.

    Dolphin freewheel/gearset change

    I also swapped out the gearset following the lead of Goldconch. https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/controller-modification-for-more-speed.29009/#post-333876 I also went for the 53 tooth lite-pro chainring but I'm not sure if you'd want to do this in a hilly area as it'd change the...

    Looking for recommendation for cheap ebike. Probably asking the impossible.

    A friend of mine tried my qualisports dolphin and fell in love with it. Requirements - some sort of low or step through frame would be good, she says she doesn't want to spend more than $500 which I've told her is very low and she'll probably have to spend a bit more. I'm looking at the ecotric...

    Where to buy rear Dolphin rack.

    Edited post - This is crazy because that's qualisport's amazon store. How da fuq can they charge $15 more for a direct sale?

    Where to buy rear Dolphin rack.

    I did not find another supplier. I'm probably going to have to bite the bullet on the official rack, was just balking at the shipping after spending so much on the bike. I did all the @goldconch mods and it really worked out great. I never put mudguards on but I'm thinking of finding smaller...

    Controller Modification for more speed?

    Thanks a million. I had already thought of the split tubing when I was looking at the cable but hadn't explored where they terminate. You've really given me a lot of good info here. Also thinking of upgrading the light and adding a powered rear light at some point.

    And... did you chase the cable back to the controller or splice it in at the handlebar?

    Controller Modification for more speed?

    You deserve the praise. I think I read you're in NYC area, me too. One quick question - I just read you swapped out for the kt lcd8h. Just wondered where you got it.

    Controller Modification for more speed?

    I had an issue with a pedal so this has prompted me to go ahead and switch the crank and freewheel. I would not know to do this without Goldconch's informative posts. I ordered a different (Ithink) freewheel, it still says DNP but is supposedly e-bike specific. It's cheaper, which worries me...

    Where to buy rear Dolphin rack.

    So I ordered a Dolphin from Qualisports and was going to order the rear rack until I saw it cheaper on electricbikeparadise.com. It was almost have the price of the Qualisports site so I ordered it and the front rack as well, they even added another 5% discount as I checked out. Of course it was...
