Hi, I have a dual suspension mountain bike that I’d like to electrify with a 36V 350W front hub geared motor with a compatible steel ebike fork. Granted, the removal of the front suspension fork makes the bike a soft-tail, but I only have a front hub motor, and the real strength of this...

I feel comfortable generally with Square Trade but I was curious as to any individual experiences with ebike warranty claims. I definitely see your point that they generally are good about addressing warranty issues. Thanks for your help.

I’m considering purchasing a $50 3-year Square Trade Warranty (STW) for a new Sondors X I just purchased on eBay. Does anyone have any experiences or advice regarding STWs with respect to a Sondors ebike, or any other ebike for that matter? I did a search here on EBR and didn’t see any direct...

Ooof!!! I feared that. I might just have to stick with what I have for now. But I will see what King Meter has for color LCD. Thanks for your help!

Sorry if this is slightly off-topic, but I have an Overfly ebike with an SW-LCD display that I want to swap out for a color display. Does anyone know if the KT-LCD8H can be swapped for the SW-LCD. Again sorry if this is too far afield but I saw that the SW-LCD was mentioned...

Thanks for the suggestions-the EBR video was enlightening as to how far customization can go so it was a good primer. The "less spendy" options" are more my speed, but your suggestions confirmed my initial research...Thanks again!

I have a Cannondale Fat CAAD 3 and want to add a 48V 500W+ 190mm Rear Wheel preferably with a geared drive hub motor. I already have a lot of ebike conversion parts from a previous build so a wheel only is good but open to a full conversion kit in the right circumstance. Also not trying to break...

I think 15Ah is the sweet spot as well...thanks for the help!!!

Yes that’s exactly what I’d like to do get a battery pack and a second battery cradle/holder then just swap a solid single 48V battery instead of purchasing multiple “mediocre” ones... I think it might work with a 48V 15Ah battery maybe I’ll increase the Amp hours if I can find a good value...

Thanks for the further explanation. These are the controllers I hope to use (Model S9-61(500W/25A) and Model S6-61(350W/15A)) both of which show "Battery Voltage: 24/36/48V." Are these both then considered "tri-voltage" controllers because the 3 voltages are presented??? And if I can go with a...

Thanks. So for example I can use a 1000W battery on my48V 500W motor but it must be a 48V battery, you cannot use any other battery voltage other than the designated motor and controller voltage. So I guess it’s 2 batteries if I decide to build both bikes...

I have an opportunity to build two different ebike conversion kits (one with a front wheel 36V 350W motor and the other with a rear wheel 48V 500W motor). Given the opportunity, is there any way I can purchase a single battery pack (and an additional battery cradle) and be able to swap a single...

Thanks ya I had a feeling it wouldn’t be that easy...

I was thinking about this from my Newbie "jigsaw puzzle" perspective and wondered whether the following could work together: 1) a 250W-350W controller that states on it that it is a "24v/36V/48V controller" with a 2) 36V 350W hub motor using a 3) 48V 10Ah battery (for 350W or 500W) Would this...

Does anyone have any experiences buying from these “usual suspects” through Amazon Fulfillment or eBay? I know in particular eBay has a pretty good Guarantee and I’ve utilized it when a Seller (domestic or otherwise) is difficult or unresponsive...

Thanks all for the comments and suggestions. I was initially considering whether I could get away with a lower Amp hour (EX. 8Ah, 10Ah) for less $$$ but I've since learned from your helpful insights-so I'm probably going to shoot for a range of approximately 13-14 Ah. I'm looking for something...

Thanks for that excellent basic explanation. So if I want to go farther on a charge cycle I should go for greater Amp Hours, making spending a few bucks more for higher Ah worth it in the long run. You’re ride sounds like a good one and I hope you get a lot of enjoyment from it!!!

As a hobby project I’m planning to do an ebike conversion of a hardtail mountain bike using a 48v 500w geared rear motor conversion kit. I’m trying to make sure that the battery in terms of Amp hours is in the correct range for the volts and wattage. Is there an industry standard range or is it...

As a follow-up, I replaced the thumb throttle with a new one (similar to the one on the bike but without a cutoff switch) and it seems to be riding much better. No more lag or cutoff thus far. I've also ordered a half-twist throttle just to see the differences/pros/cons of twist vs...
