    Chain Slipping On Smallest Gears!

    Thanks Richard. I am now experiencing a super smooth drivetrain more than I have before after the cassette/chain swap. As far as the 11t-13t cogs here the ZTTO ones are selling for approx $9.00US. You can find the same ones on Aliexpress for approx $2.00US.

    Chain Slipping On Smallest Gears!

    Thank you Steve! Perhaps you already know I am using the 11-40t 10 spd cassette. I have asked around and it seems that nobody is giving me a definitive answer as to which ones with part #s are compatible with my Deore XT setup. Her is the Shimano 11-40t however is over $100 dollars US. I am...

    Chain Slipping On Smallest Gears!

    Just picked up my Ebike after a full swap out of chain and cassette. The LBS mechanic indicated he was fine with leaving the original wax coating on the new chain. Took my 1st ride and I have to say the entire drivetrain is incredibly smooth with no more slipping in the last 2 small cogs. I am...

    I like the suspension system design. Looks like a nice scooter overall for the $$

    I am with you on the comfort aspect of riding. Have never been a big fan of riding in very cold conditions. Perhaps it may be from having to drag through the snow and sleet in my younger years doing newspaper deliveries. Ouch! :rolleyes:

    Affordable Ebike hitch rack?

    The rear brake lift works very well. Once on the rack a bit more tweaking was involved to get the tires seated nicely into the cradles. The hook arm was able to fit under my front plastic fender flap to ensure the hook is placed closest to the steerer tube as possible. All in all, very satisfied...

    You guys have done an outstanding job with your well thought out pres here. I was swaying between these and the Smart Sams. Now that I know how well the performance is as an all-rounder, this will seal the deal for me when I am ready for them. I do like the tread design, however, the missing...

    Sure, I like the concept and creative thinking behind it. To actually see it propel anyone is kinda impressive with such low voltage.

    Get new Hitch Rack... or stick with working older one?

    When in doubt, just buy something that can handle the bike weight and is proven to be dependable by others. I was recently facing the same circumstances after owning the same rack for nearly 20 yrs with no known problems to report. I just went ahead (this week) and purchased a Kuat V2. Very good...

    This thing is a Drug

    Another great story from GJack! I left my 7000 fully stock, and never considered suspension (wish I had). Just changed out seat and added accessories along the way. I was very impressed with how lightweight it was in comparison to many others at that time. I still have mine also, however, have...

    Affordable Ebike hitch rack?

    Yeah, I'm going to have to try that technique using the rear brake to lift. I have the same problem with storage, however, pick a tight corner in the garage and secure in place with bungies to avoid possible tip over. I thought it was a great rack as soon as it was posted here for the $$. Looks...

    Throw in a gold leaf burger or two with every purchase would help a bit to seal the deal IMO! 😁
