As with any review or reviewer, if any sort of compensation or kickback is involved the review the review can't be trusted. I have seen a few "reviews" on electrek where it appeared some form of compensation (direct or indirect) prevented the reviewer (whether it was mikey, micah, or someone...

Around $6K in my case.

Found another great use for the TK-419. Charging alerts! It's best for battery longevity to not charge beyond 80% unless you want to balance cells or need the extra capacity and plan to ride right away. What I've done (until now) is guesstimate how long it will take to charge to 80%, and set...

Why lube both sides? I think you're only supposed to lube the side that contacts the chain ring and let gravity and the carrier do it's work getting the lube in the roller. Also why lube the cassette? FWIW, I also use Muc Off C3 Dry Ceramic and my chain is still going strong at 2500 miles...

My guess is the guy is just full of hot air (and has a really small pecker). If he was a gun crazy he probably wouldn't have left home unarmed. File a police report, it may not be the first time he's threatened someone. If you see him again and feel threatened, call 911.

I disconnected the 2 black wires and did a connectivity test with my multimeter to see if they were still connected. It indicated connectivty so you may be able to get away with just running the yellow relay wire to the shift sensor (+) wire. That said I'm not sure of side effects since I...

From what I understand, ebike batteries aren't typically grounded to the chassis (for safety reasons due to the high voltage). One of the wires in the sensor loop is (+) and the other wire is (-) but I don't think that's the same as battery (-) or ground (there is actually a third wire in the...

Here is a typical shift / brake sensor wiring loop. When you shift (or brake) the sensor connects the 2 wires which tells the controller to cut power. controller --- sensor red (+) wire --- | \ ----- sensor black (-) wire ------ sensor Splice into this...

OK, got relay working by splicing into the gear sensor cable. The gear sensor wires were tiny (26 AWG) so used this kit to splice the 2 wires from the tracker in parallel. A bit pricey but didn't have much wire to work with, and only one chance to get it right...

You can congratulate me when I get my bike, I'm one of the few founders that chose to hold out. I think it will happen eventually, but if it doesn't, I've made worse investments. I realize you are just trolling as always but I don't have a problem with anyone that did what they felt they...

I'm not sure that's a fair comparison, maybe if you had been waiting 2 years for a new model and they told you if you wanted a refund you would have to wait for liquidity to resolve, but no point sawing the sawdust, just wanted to clarify those opting for refund got their money back. There's...

FWIW all founders requesting refunds have been paid as of a couple weeks ago.

I just texted pushkar last night and got a reply, so can confrim he's still alive. When I haven't gotten a reply I've resorted to scheduling a 10 minute 1:1 with them: https://www.calendly.com/wattwagons

I'm assuming you were speaking hypothetically, or did you actually set up a relay this way? Pretty sure the battery will be sending more current to the controller than an automotive relay switch can safely handle. Also, the coil resistance in an automotive relay needs a 12/24v battery to...

I would venture to guess so called "throttle misapplication" is a byproduct of other characteristics of these "class 2" bikes. Removing throttle wouldn't make them any more suitable for trails under consideration. How do we educate if we just throw up our hands vs. have an intellectually...

My Archon throttle is restricted to 750W peak. I don't get any surges. It's perfect when stopped at a light with cars behind me and I want to get going faster than I would from pedaling, or if I forgot to gear down enough and/or I want to save my knees. Also nice to give my legs a brief rest...

It's just an attempt to limit power (despite class rules allowing the same power for all) since most class 1 eMTB are going to be euro spec and higher powered eMTB are going to be class 2 or 3 (or hybrid). But you're right, you can't make a sensible case to allow class 1 but exclude class 3...

Been there done that ha. But yeah, that doesn't look like it's going to end well.

I've been planning to add another tracking device for one of my other bikes and saw this tkstar TK408-4G tracker on amazon on sale for under $50 so decided to give it a try and compare to my eelink tk419. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JKND56D/ The tkstar is about the same length x width...

Figured out how to get the tracker working with ruhavik (gps-trace), a free third party tracking platform offered by Gurtam. Even better I was able to leverage one of Gurtam's other free platforms (flespi) to act as a proxy server so I can send data from the tracker to multiple servers at the...
