You could abandon your bike lane at traffic stops and enter into traffic but I like the advice ChristoB gave about scanning the interior of the car for that potentiality. The driver and passengers are guilty here and you cannot reliably protect yourself from this kind of behavior. I would...

So I left the battery to charge all night long and it topped up to 54.4V! Thanks for the tip! My other battery never did this but it had much less parallel strings so that may have been a factor. Cheers!

Thanks for the suggestion. I will definitely try a balance charge. I rarely do a full charge on my battery so it's probably overdue for one. I think it's still working reasonably well because it's a 20ah pack. 9 parallel strings of 13 like you said. I probably still have enough capacity...

I'm just not sure you can find a pre-made bike with much power for less than 1k. It would likely have a small motor compared to what you would get with a kit. In this case much much smaller. If you are willing to tinker, a DIY kit is a huge money saver and you get more power for your dollar...

I don't have a hub kit. I use a BBS-02 mid-drive with 15000+KM on it, so I cannot vouch for the hub. I can say that a mid-drive is harder on the hardware and I can speak volumes about how to avoid most of the problems as I've learned the hard way as to which parts to use. A mid-drive motor...

"I have a helmet just for winter, a ski helmet with vents I can close when cold & padding that comes down over the ears, this goes over a full facial balaclava and ski goggles " Me too! It works amazingly! I cannot recommend it enough. I wear a few pairs of pants over my work clothes, a...

I recently noticed that my maximum charge voltage went from 54v to 48.7~. I'm thinking one or two strings might have faulty cells . It still holds a reasonable charge but I'm worried that I might be damaging my battery if I continue using it. I just wanted to get some feedback before I cracked...

This may seem cynical but people are flawed and generally think and say dumb things.

I have about 15000km on my bike and I've had to repair it easily 30+ times. I've refined my bicycle components to keep failures to a minimum but it's a process.
