Congrats ! Make sure you keep a log at first of tire pressures and mileage,my fatbike eats batteries at lower pressures.

Did you buy locally? Do you know where the plugs are for the throttle and pedal assist?

I took photos but most were blurry,so gotta do some better pics,but i did post a few in the DIY section. lunchbox with 18650s.

Mark Elford2 days ago (edited) Court, when you plug the charger into battery first you get a rush of current through the bms backwards..energize charger first by plugging it in..then plug in battery- there is a inrush limiter- iirc and gets rid of the pop or spark when plugging in the battery.

:) shipping is of unknown time keeping maybe get a chair snacks and water.

Depending on walking-riding ebike and human power on the trail- if there are plants and trees that are endangered, those are the real issues where i live, Victoria BC Canada, i share the trails with humans, deer, horses-bears-cougars-[rare] and give the utmost respect for there livelyhood,as...

Welcome mckemie,what kind of mileage did you get from the failed batteries? how long were they in service? Mark.

Bicycles are like shoes,just a bit off and you wont like wearing them or riding the bike. test driving is a must if purchasing a manufactured ebike,and saddle adjustments -handlebar are critical for longevity in the saddle.

Just looked up both bike and kit, the ebo kit should come with a freewheel that will fit the components you have. if not you can take the freewheel cassette of the giant wheel and put it on the ebo kit as long as there the same diameter threading..then you might have to have your derailleur...

Ok, a 350w front motor kit is ok ,but wanting SLA is a crime.if you need to postpone for 8 mnths to save up the extra cash for lith-ion batteries then do it. the extra time is worth the wait. just pedalling and going slower does wonders for leg muscles,and keeps you riding farther.

Hello and welcome over50,im over 50 myself. 17 miles- can you charge at work? do you live in a wet climate? is there lots of hills or flat? so many questions,what ebike do you first think about? that is usually a good starting point.

This does open and is waterproof,it was quite a bit of work to mount it,i used muffler clamps on the downtube.filed them inside the lunchbox and recessed a thick plastic piece that covered the entire bottom,then dense foam.i used a rear 8-fun 11 turn motor on the front wheel. only stock parts...

Hello akz28 the v5 has some good ah/ 14.25ah? i forget now, but thats pretty darn good..its dang exciting waiting for a new machine.

That is quite the accomplishment from a ezip! i just built up a 2009 ezip for a friend and shes pullin her kid around with it,those bikes were pretty indestructable except the batteries..

Do you ever see robin hood in sherwood forest?:) those are great bikes!did trail riding on my ebike and a few with just human power and there miserable after 45min,they will eventually see the reasoning behind ebikes.enjoy.

Those volt mariners are neato looking, im in a very hilly area in Victoria BC and my ebike takes out the frustration when its raining and windy and all the steep hills enjoy and keep your lights on even during the day. Mark.

The rambo ebikes look pretty good,being new to ebikes be warned, lots of weight to carry and a fatbike with low tire pressure and 10.4ah battery you will get very little mileage.my fatbike eats batteries quick on trails with low tire pressure.i get good mileage with 22lbs-25lb air pressure on...

That is exciting news and a great nickname to boot.

Hello ebikers.My name is Mark Elford, 42 years type1 diabetic...i live in Victoria British Columbia Canada,yes im in a beautiful spot. my first ebike was in 2007 and was a kit, it was a crystalyte 409 front hub.my first ride was a blast up until i gunned it at a traffic light and my motor went...

The tires are 700c schwalbe double wall rim with anti puncture protection and are fairly thin.. but not 70s ten speed thin...they would be fine for the routes youve suggested. Mark.
