    So today my ebike shipment arrived, and I got... a fender.

    Never had much of a problem with deliveries, a few have disappeared from China, usually $20 stuff. Amazon has never let me down. I did get nailed for about $40 on my e-bike kit. Are you in Iqaluit? Patience grasshopper (remember the movie)

    Battery - Backup vs Two On-board (Haibike SDURO Trekking 9.0)

    WTF are you people talking about! this reminds me of the 80's designer jeans thing, their still just jeans! Once again i took a $110 walmart steel bike, put a 450 watt cheap Chinese motor on it and beat the crap out of it on deer trails with 2, 12 volt SLA batteries wired in series for 24...

    Cheap Chinese frame mounted 450 watt

    I changed the rear hub gear from a 16 tooth to a 22 tooth, in other words increased torque over %26 but reduced speed by the same %. i have not noticed speed reduction but i have noticed a huge increase in power. This is the strange thing, with the new gear when i floor the throttle it pushes me...

    Welcome to Canada, we did the trans Canada trail 20 years ago, coast to coast, the only difference is the US is going to maintain the trail, Canada not so much.

    Wide vs narrow

    I bought a 1.75 big lugged tire from amazon, installed it and was not impressed. Skinny and small to say the least. I'm thinking it still might be good for snow and slush on the E-bike. UNREAL! This thing on the rear cuts trough snow while my front 1.95 plows it. getting one for the front. If...

    buying a new fat bike - questions and suggestions

    watt = amp × volt, or volt = watt divided by amp, or Amp = watt divided by volts. In other words it's an algebraic expression. change one side, the other side has to change to match. I have a 24 volt, 450 watt motor with a 30 amp hour battery. I could go with a 48 volt, 30 amp hour battery, 450...

    Might have damaged my battery pack! ;(

    If one blew how stable are the rest, at least the way i look at it not worth the risk. You may replace the cell, which is easy, and never have a prob. but if the pack blows your in a whole world of hurt. I say this because i saw the results of a 12 volt lead acid car battery exploding. I was in...

    Might have damaged my battery pack! ;(

    GET IT AWAY! a single cell rupture caused a series of lithium's to explode and brought down a UPS 747 in Dubai. Since then lithium's are transported in special containers. Best advice i can give is take it outside NOW. Don't bother trying to salvage the pack just pay the extra $ for an LG...

    How To Judge Quality

    That's why i joined this forum, i have learned more in a week than a year of doing it on my own. My take on price is the 80's designer jeans thing, 3 times the price of Levi's or Wranglers but still just jeans, buyer beware. Read everything you can on this forum and forget the salesmen, make...

    Torque vs speed

    I'm 24 volt 450 watts, it cost me $500 for the lithium LG 30 amp hour i have, i was running 2, 12 volt 4 wheeler batteries in series for 24 volts in a basket behind the seat. 20 amp hours each, try that off road on a bike. Center of gravity was way high and all at the rear. At times the bike...

    Torque vs speed

    Right now i have a frame mounted 450 watt motor on the left side but i ride on road, off road and deer trails. I don't have enough torque for off road. I have bought a larger gear (16 tooth to 28 tooth) for off road for the rear hub, but that's going to drop speed by almost %50. First question...

    dangers of front wheel drive

    I ride an e-bike in Canadian winters, just like cars if power kicks in front wheel drive is better, more control. If you put the hub drive at the rear of the bike it acts like a pendulum and swings wildly, all the extra weight is there, mid drive is better, front drive would be best, simple...

    Hi, new to electric bikes

    I put together the cheapest setup possible, $100 Walmart bike and $200 Chinese chain kit. I figured 4 months at best out of it, i tend to take a lot of off-road trails. 450 watt, 24 volt and i drive it almost daily even in the Canadian winter now. Snow, rain it still goes. The best part is i...
