    Supply Problems/eBike Prices

    In this case a 69% increase in 9 months. I’ve another popular ebike that increased by $100 but it also came with better features/options. This is for the exact same bike with no improvements or options. A 69% price increase in such a short time frame is substantial.

    Local Bike Shops and upgrade or repairs to Internet purchased EBikes

    I guess I should count myself as lucky as (1) the manufacturer of my ebikes is just 3-4 miles away and they service them and (2) a LBS in town says they work on all brands of ebikes. I went to that LBS to make sure they that they do indeed work on different ebikes. I brought one of them with me...

    Supply Problems/eBike Prices

    I know this topic has been discussed multiple times here and I paid little attention to it. I had already purchased my ebikes so it wasn't that big of a deal to me. This morning I went to the website where I purchased my ebikes to see if anything new has showed up. When I purchased my first one...

    Penta Pin Security Bolts

    If I have to leave my bike parked for a short period of time, I lock it with an ABUS Alarmed Bordo Folding lock. I try to park it where it’s visible and only for a short period of time. I worried that someone would walk off with my seat and seatpost as it had a quick release clamp. I purchased a...

    Known Issues & Problems with Soul Fast E Bikes Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    I was referring to the Saber Pro. Stomper SS is for more aggressive riders. I’m not a fan of the Triple forks.

    great cordless air pump.

    That looks like it would be fine for home use or carry in the trunk of a car for sure. Makita is a good brand. I actually carry a smaller rechargeable air pump in my handlebar bag as part of my "Oh Sh!t" kit. First saw it on Bolton Ebikes youtube vid. Bought one from him and then I bought a...

    Bike Registration (In Case Bike Is Stolen)

    Found this website where bikes can be registered for in case they are stolen. Might help with recovery. Every little bit helps. I registered my bikes today. https://bikeindex.org

    Average Cruising Speed on your e-bike

    Riding a beach cruiser style bike. Upright position, 750w, 48v. I peddle around leisurely in PAS 1 and maintain 14 to 15 mph. I have had it up to 32mph with me pedaling my ass off but that was just to see how fast I could go. That would be difficult to maintain for any length of time. I’m not in...

    Show us pictures of where you ride your ebikes!

    Yes, Tempe Town Lake. Nice place to ride. I went to Papago Park a couple months back and most everything was blocked off except the zoo. Would like to cruise around Papago.

    Handlebar Jack!

    I bought one. Tried it out to see how it would work. Definitely worth the price. Permanent piece of kit.

    Known Issues & Problems with Soul Fast E Bikes Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    Thanks for your clarification. Yes I have two of the Saber Pro’s. Hub drives with the 750W motors and 14.5aH batteries. I live about 4 miles from Soul Fast eBikes and they were assembled there so maybe that’s why I haven’t had any major issues. I had a flat on one caused by a rough edge on the...

    Aventure rear brakes do nothing, fronts barely engage

    Well, Hey! You’re riding! Aventon’s BS is enough to put a bad taste in your mouth. Glad you‘re on the road. I’ve had my Cruisers up to 33mph just to see how fast I could them up to. PAS 5 and me doing my part. At first I thought that 20-25mph wasn’t all that fast but on a bicycle it’s plenty...

    My Magnum Summit

    Congrats on your Magnum. I was in one of my LBS about a month ago looking at some accessories. They sell both standard bikes as well as some brands of ebikes. They carry several of the Magnums including the Summit. Just looking at them I was impressed with the look and "beefy" build. Was looking...

    Air valve stem question

    I would be concerned of the hole in the rim cutting the valve stem. For sure let the air out of the tire and and move the tube and or tire to get the stem straight. Would suck to have to replace a tube right off the bat with your new ebike.

    My Bike Totally Died Today.

    Kudos to you for having the motivation to DIY. Sometimes you learn things the hard way, i.e., what your bike is capable of. I see a lot of people who think that THEIR ebike or choice of components are better than anyone else's. You like what you like and buy what you can afford. Therefore your...
