    First eBike Conversion Questions...

    Sounds like the battery can't supply the current demanded and the voltage sagged to a point below the low voltage cut off. It's the reason you should get high power battery cells - like 25R - with these 750w BBS motors as they will actually draw way more than that under load. I've no idea what...

    Fenders from Big O Mfg.

    They will put together a custom kit for just about any fatbike - it's a little bit of a pain to send all the pics and measurements they request but the end result is really good and unlike the silly half/quarter clip on fenders from others, the Big O's actually work well at keeping most of the...

    Fat Bike W/ BBSHD updates

    Thanks a lot - I've got those snowshoes too but I prefer my Dillenger 4.0 for my commute. That rack should fit over my fenders then I think.

    Fat Bike W/ BBSHD updates

    I've been looking for a rack - how much clearance do you have above the tyre and what are the size of those tyres? Also, how does this rack connect to the rear triangle? Can you make a picture please?

    What are your suggestions for winter cycling peace of mind?

    Winter riding is fine if you and the bike are outfitted for it - also, if the route is suitable as well. I don't think I'd be so keen to ride if I had to use a busy main road without bike lanes or busy city roads.

    What are your suggestions for winter cycling peace of mind?

    All the above (not sure we all need to lower seat though ) and studded tyres, good gloves, good lights. Passed a guy rolling around on the floor screaming on Friday as the ambulance medics were trying to get him on a stretcher - old dude hadn't seen him in the bike lane beside the car when he...

    Battery Shipping

    This beggars the question, what will happen to battery shipping when the big shipping companies wise up to this kind of fakery...?

    Bafang motor hits chainstay?

    Is it the actual her housing that touches the chainstay or is it the chainring? If it's the chainring you can fit an adapter and put a smaller chainring on or a 42T Lekkie bling ring may do the trick. If it's the plastic gear housing, you don't have many options - maybe a spacer between the...

    Gearsensor

    The gearsensor doesn't work the best on the BBS0X drives without a special connector into the controller. Without that, it connects to a brake port which means a noticeable delay between power cut and startup during shifts. AFAIK, lectriccycles still has a monopoly on motors with that...

    New Helmet Technology on Indiegogo

    I'm surprised they didn't just use EPP, the multi-impact foam used in helmets already.

    Stuff needed for Winter commuting with Fat bike

    I don't think ski goggles will cut it for me. I would really like to go the prescription wrap-around bicyclist glasses - I think I'll look around for prices.

    Stuff needed for Winter commuting with Fat bike

    Yeah, streaming eyes are something I don't appreciate and which I get just about all the time now. But I don't wear contacts so I have to live with glasses - which leaves me with the choice of wearing over googles that have to be huge by their very function, or I have to invest in some...

    Stuff needed for Winter commuting with Fat bike

    No, I can't get passed the idea of flooding my tyres with goop. And then changing tyres gets even more messy as well. The one flat I have had was down to my carelessness when changing my winter to summer tyres, so I don't see the need especially when the extra weight of tubes is a non-issue with...

    Stuff needed for Winter commuting with Fat bike

    It's been icy the past few mornings here so I changed back to my studded Dillinger 4.0 tyres (the 120TPI ones with concave studs) last night. Wow, I forgot how great these things grip the road. Yesterday morning, I spent half my commute worried I'd end on my butt and had my feet sliding on...

    New Article on the Wash. Post that mentions Court and EBR

    Lots of ignorance in the comments section as usual. I really wish these types of article would include more facts to educate people - like the fact that most e-bikes are peddle assisted bikes not throttle bikes, that people generally will get fitter rather than fatter using them particularly if...

    Karmic Koben

    The problem with crowd funding seems to be that they make promises and, no matter the integrity and good intentions of those involved, they are at the mercy of fickle manufacturers and supply lines to mention just two of the unknown quantities they have little control over. Not a position I'd...
