With all my non-e-bikes I would just turn it over onto the handlebars and seat and go to town. now I have a computer display box protruding in such a way that I can't use that method. What is the best way to deal with this?

I ran out of juice about 6 miles away from my house just the other day. I was very happy that I decided to get a 26 inch bike as opposed to something smaller. Because it was very hard peddling. It would be much harder with smaller wheels. Personally, my next bike will have the largest and...

Well...you could legitimately go to a biker bar and claim to be a Harley rider. Might be a hard sell to any chicks you might pick up...

I am going to do exactly as you advise. Thank you for taking the time to advise me. I really appreciate it. Lots of others where here to help me too. I like this place. In just this one thread, I understand the technological big picture. This bike is as good as I could ever expect it to be for...

I understand what you are saying. I wonder about the quality of this bike and if it performs as well as a more quality product. Bafang may just be a better motor and give me more run time. Battery life, miles per charge is the most important thing for me. I live in a huge metroplex which I want...

Just got into this hobby. I don't know what I have yet. If I find that I can get much better performance with a better motor, I want it.

My motor must be DD. But it has better low end than speed. Actually the power band is perfect relative to a 20 mph limit. I wouldn't want a mid-drive.

The plug seems to be another issue. Lord knows what the controller electronics are when they are buried into the frame. I don't want to stick a box on it. These bikes have been around for years now. They need to start standardizing parts, like the plugs and controllers. I would like a Bafang...

Bafang seems to becoming the leader in Chinese bike motors. I was thinking that I could improve my bike in the future with one of their motors. The plug and controller seem to be the issues. I like my bike the way it sets. Might be best to just get a new bike.

The seal on the plug is extremely important. If the right plug is not available, I'll just buy a new bike in a couple years. Seems silly that they are not. But I guess it's a new thing.

Sounds like you did exactly what I want to do. Do you think a better battery cell might weight more?

Here is a photo of my bike.

Ah, now I understand the what geared means. Yes Bafang does make rear hub motors. I live in a mountainous area in Phoenix so I believe I need geared. By my experience with my existing motor makes me believe it must be geared. It climbs really well, and it was sold as a mountain bike. I just want...

I don't need to go faster. It would be nice under some circumstances. But, at some point law enforcement will be implemented. They'll be checking these things. Power to weight ratio might be a consideration. A larger motor may be more energy efficient. But, maybe not. I'm wondering if you are...

Harry, standardized wiring is a great sign of the interchangeability that needs to be there to be able to just switch the motors out. But the compatibility of the electronics would be the next issue, and then...would a geared motor function in place of a gearless one? I didn't know about geared...

I got it at a 20% discount from that price. This is my first e-bike. After looking around I found this to be by far the least expensive 1000 watt bike (almost half the price). It functions well. Lots of low end torque. But the high end seems to be a little low. So I'm wondering if it is really...

This has a rear hub motor. If I made bike motors, I'd make them so they could replace the largest manufacturer's product. It's hard to believe that a small manufacturer would make motors proprietary to their own electronics. It would be nice to replace this motor with a Bafang. Especially...

I have a 1000 watt Ectotix Seagull E-bike that I may want to change the motor out to a Bafang. Can I just replace the motor? Or do I have to change out all the electronics?
