    are motors interchangable?

    Without getting overly technical, the answer is no, you need to change all the components. Also I'd say there is nothing wrong with Nylon gears, if they work, they work. Metal isn't always better... Metal Gears are noisier, and can sometimes wear quicker (no grease).. I have a metal gears in my...

    Bafang Ultra "Smooth" tune by Mike at Frey

    I don't think the "smooth" settings come from Frey. I'm pretty sure this is just a blog started by someone that happened to buy a Frey EX bike, and have shared their knowledge.

    Multiple chargers on one power point.

    I can't really foresee any issues.... Worth remembering that sometimes 1 circuit can cover more than 1 room in a building. So the load is shared by all of the available electrical outlets on that circuit, not just the outlet you're using - so you may need to be mindful of others using...

    Looks like the X1 is only available through WW now.

    It looks like every other <<insert brand here>> bike.

    Aventon Level 500w Upgrade to 1000W or Higher?

    Blooming heck.... People with throttles aren't monsters... :D I blame Fred for starting this nonsense.

    Ebike newb, Tall w/ chronic back problems & ancient ebike repair!

    A Recumbent bike might give you a more comfortable riding position.... But you'd probably have to add an ebike kit to it as well, so not the cheapest option, but maybe worth looking into if you have storage space.

    Bike arrived with a broken derailleur hanger and bent fork, Ride1up says tough luck. Thoughts?

    Haha, I'm convinced most members here are retired multi-millionaire bankers.... So often the answer to any problem is to chuck loads of money at it...

    Regen braking and a fully charged RadPower battery

    Hahaha reading this thread I can only guess why... I'd do the same.

    Bike arrived with a broken derailleur hanger and bent fork, Ride1up says tough luck. Thoughts?

    All "branded bikes" are better than Kit bikes... You just need to ignore the low end "branded bikes" and stick with the expensive top of line "branded bikes".... Simple easy ebike buying advice.

    Throttle wheelies

    On ebikes you need to disconnect the brake sensors to wheelie. Otherwise its hard (impossible) to modulate the power and braking.

    Level brake pads - There may be an issue here - *UPDATE*

    I could be wrong as I'm just googling this, no photos to go on!...But I wouldn't worry too much if the difference is only a wear indicator. If they're the same size and shape, give them a try. It might work fine.

    Rm Paint quality

    I'm not sure I'd accept the sticker solution. It needs Polishing out properly - and then apply Paint Protection Film. No point adding it over flaws in the paintwork.

    Examples of Riese & Muller Durability and Reliablity

    Same as Triggers broom.... :p

    Throttle wheelies

    This is called a "manual". He's not really using the power to stay up as much as balancing the bike on its rear wheel. That kid could no doubt pull tricks like that on a normal "acoustic" bike.

    Frey Ex Chainring

    In general yes, but it depends.... What is the problem right now? If it works without issue then you don't need a longer chain. I got away without adding any extra links.

    New Controller For Ultra Coming

    I wouldn't bash Bafang too much over it, its not that unusual for any company.... Google built itself on "beta" software... Apple brought out a phone with a dodgy antenna. Car manufacturers always have recalls. It happens all the time.

    Anti dumping Tariff

    Yeah fine. No problems. Still has plenty of poke.

    Anti dumping Tariff

    Id say get these bits Dropper Seat Post Gear Shift Sensor Lights - the lights aren't the best but its nice to have it already integrated. Spare Derailleur Hanger Pot of Touch-up Paint Extra Charger, if you're commuting on it.

    Onboard generator

    Can't see any chance in recharging it as you're riding it. No charger can charge faster than the battery can output, so you'll still deplete the battery. Plus I'd say the battery wouldn't last very long either. To directly power the motor, skipping the battery, your bike would need a generator...
