    Has anyone had a hub motor fail?

    Shengyi 500 watt geared hub BUT I believe there are many different models, with varying prices. Just thinking in advance of a possible scenario. U reckon it's possible to get a replacement motor and just slip it in? Rather than have to buy a whole wheel assembly? I've seen some poor guys...

    Why are SurRons so cheap?

    Cheaper Shimano Derailleur on LMT’D.

    I think I remember a poster saying something to the effect that eBikes use a beefier chain and anything above Deore won't work with our single front sprocket and O.E. chain. Deore, if I get it installed, I think will be a couple of steps above Acera

    Cheaper Shimano Derailleur on LMT’D.
