How long is your pants inseam measurement? How long are the sleeves of your shirt? 26" frame is enormous, I do not think they make them that big. 26" tire (559 wheel) is pretty common. 24" tire is pretty common. I have a 28" pants inseam, and I ride a 16" frame with 26" wheels. A problem is...

You can search on aliexpress or something. Very frustrating, when I searched for 48 v bike hub motors I got a lot of boat motors appliance motors gasoline motors and hubs without motors. If you find something your bank may not allow you to buy it. Mine did not.

When it fails to move you in PAS2, they will probably replace the motor or something under warranty. Until then, there is no coverage for noises.

I respect 3 of the four sources. W7ha is not stocked in my flyover city, so I have never run into them. You are not allowed to know where anything you order on the internet or by phone comes from until you receive it and open the box. In general 99.999999% of tools sold on the internet are...

Where was it made? In the class of ****ese garbage, I bought a 70 piece 1/4 socket set 6 mm to 1/2" US & metric for $7 at the flea market. Has a 2" extension. As the ratchets of these toys fail the first use, i bought a USA 1/4" Proto breaker bar for $21 from mcmaster.com...

My parents bought me a 26" bike in 1961. After that there was no "Mom's taxi". I was supposed to get there myself if the school bus would not take me. I rode city busses to downtown Houston on some Saturdays. My Mother used to wander the mountains of West Virginia alone. In 1930s there were no...

No one has my patience. All bikers met pass me at 3 times my speed, nose to the ground, leading with the top of the helmet. The bikers probably get their groceries in a SUV or pickup. Whereas I carry mine on the bike. The local wheelman club meets at a school, unloading their bikes from their...

No, I listen for the traffic. I cannot use a mirror; cross motion of my vision makes me dizzy. At home WUOL-FM is on the radio 10 hours a day. Or I play pop CDs or LPs if WUOL plays too much wiggly violin music. Sheena Easton Conga & Get on Your Feet last night.

Most of the ebikes with 4 sizes of frames, including extra small, are from major producers like trek. They will have no throttle because bikes with throttles cannot be sold in Europe. Liv is a trek brand that is marketed for small women. With your wife's lack of commitment to the whole bike...

Messy wiring inhibits theft. In 6 years nobody has even tried to cut my SS sling or master lock. Thieves have stolen a couple of lights, a tool box, and stabbed a couple of tires with a pick or knife. They have tried to remove the battery twice, backing off a couple of the wrong nuts. I use...

Higher currents wear out the battery more. If grades are moderate, then low speed is good. If the motor is really straining to carry you, then faster speed on steep grades is better. On the rolling hills in my country, I usually let the momentum build downhill up to 30 mph, then apply the...

Rode 3.5 hours 27 miles yesterday at 95 F and 9 mph headwind. Used more electricity than usual. I cover all skin in clothing; black dickies double knee pants below waist, blue linen long sleeve shirt with elbow pads to protect skin if I fall off. Collar turned up against sun. Full shoes &...

I wore out a set of gears at ~4500 miles. No gears available for that brand. Another hub the connector to the wiring harness burned off in the rain because the pins were too close together for 48 v. Was able to repair that one by changing connector. Weird selection of colors of wire delayed...

Welcome to the site. Congratulations on choosing low CO2 emission commuting.

I diagnose flaky problems by changing either throttle, PAS pickup, or controller. None of these parts cost over $100. It is demonstrated that the motor is not the problem. Installing a PAS pickup, without actually putting it over a magnet wheel on the crank, may improve something. None of...

My bike is so quiet 2 dogs today forgot to bark at me. The ones that climb the fence and put on a big show most times. ZZZZZZ

My 2.1" tires are rated at 55 or 60 psi. That is what is use in the back to keep from banging the rim with groceries. On the front I run a little less for better ride. Watch your tires at purchase; the LBS sold me some 40 PSI rated **** 4 years ago. Looked just like real tires.

I learned about cheap ****ese crimp terminals on a Ford Fairlane hot-rod 62 I bought in 1996. Guy sold it to me because spade lug female kept melting off the back of the ignition switch. He was getting terminals at the shack. Ignition circuit was pulling 25+ amps with a Mallory ignition pack...

Coming home in the rain Sunday 2 phases dropped out, making the geared hub motor cog and useless. Analyzing today, the blue 16 ga phase wire burned in two at a crimped flag terminal connection. Bike has been rained on occasionally for 3 years since I installed the terminal: probably was some...

That is an idiotic answer post 16. One rides a hub motor at full power only up steep hills, into a high wind, or at high speed. No way the motor was consuming more than an amp on a 90 miles ride. The rider was probably huffing pretty consistently to help the motor on that ride.. I have an 840...
