    House Representatives Panetta & Blumenauer introduce "e-bike Act" federal tax credit

    As I figured. Nothing prior to enactment of the bill will be eligible.

    House Representatives Panetta & Blumenauer introduce "e-bike Act" federal tax credit

    Unfortunately quite a few of us already invested in an e-bike in 2021 or 2022 after this first popped up, and we probably won't get a thing since they've been dragging their feet for over 2 years now.

    Ebikemotion x35 speed limiter "fix"

    Are you sure that you have the connections indexed properly? If you saw 9.9mph when you tried it originally, then something went wrong when you disconnected and reconnected. Mine works fine, but I have a 2020 model and I think the 2021 and newer use a slightly different dongle because the Gain's...

    Ebikemotion x35 speed limiter "fix"

    I power up my Gain after I've powered up my Garmin unit first so that the Garmin unit uses the wheel speed sensor and GPS to register accurate speed. If you power the Gain first the Garmin unit uses it's speed signal and of course like you found out the unit just tricks the Gain controller into...

    Ebikemotion x35 speed limiter "fix"

    They were very hit and miss (mostly miss) with communications with me as well. I originally ordered a X35 dongle from them, and then one of their range extenders. I'm in the USA and I thought maybe that was the issue for lack of communications, but it appears to be a global problem.

    Carbon Wheel Build with Ebikemotion

    What's wrong with the motor? I actually have 2 extra hub motors. I bought 2 new takeoffs that were on US spec Cannondale Neo's so I could build my rear wheel while still retaining the factory wheel/hub assembly intact. Orbea and Mahle will try to tell you that the hubs are registered to the bike...

    Ebikemotion x35 speed limiter "fix"

    Are you sure that you bought the correct dongle for your year and model bike? I have one, and it works as expected without faulting the system.

    Looks good. Forgot about the factory hub&disc being 6 bolt instead of center lock. Not going tubeless?

    Orbea Gain D50 ( User learning and experiences )

    Mostly flat with a few slight elevation changes. I usually use level one and some level 2 for wind and slight inclines. I don't have any record of utilization. By your information is looks like I need to bump my level 1 up and level 2 down to be completely linear to get about 62.5 watts level 1...

    Orbea Gain D50 ( User learning and experiences )

    For me the splits that feel linear are 50%, 75%, and 100%. But I'm quite a bit heavier than you and obviously not in as good of shape.

    Carbon Wheel Build with Ebikemotion

    Your least expensive option will be to contact Farsports and have them build you a complete front wheel and supply you with a rear rim only that you would take to your LBS or wheel builder and have them build with new spokes and the hub motor from your stock rear wheel. The other 2 options (More...

    He said they've never sold to anyone in the US before, so they have no idea how much UPS is going to charge me. UPS won't give me an answer either. So I can bite the bullet and pay whatever they charge, (Surprise!) or just cancel the order.

    Ebikemotion x35 speed limiter "fix"

    I reached out to Volabike asking if they had shipped to someone in the US already, and if so maybe they could reach out and ask how much UPS charged them before they could receive the delivery. It's quite possible that I'm the first in the US to attempt this I'm afraid.

    Ebikemotion x35 speed limiter "fix"

    I'm trying to find out what the UPS is actually going to charge for import and brokerage fees. They really don't want you to easily find out and just want to surprise you in a bad way it appears. Best I can tell it will be at least $75, maybe closer to $100. At that point I'd be spending just as...

    Not sure, but even so FedEx slaps shipments to the US with the same huge import and brokerage fees that the recipient here has to pay or they won't deliver. The US Postal Service is the only one that doesn't charge anything, so it's obviously just a cash grab by UPS and FedEx.

    He said with any battery, UPS is their only choice.

    Ebikemotion x35 speed limiter "fix"

    I was going to purchase the Volabike range extender, but I just found out they use UPS for shipping which I heard charges huge import and brokerage fees. Anybody in the US here ordered one and can give me an idea what the additional costs will be? If the fees are too high, it would probably work...

    Thanks for your concern. I'm using an extended expander, so there's plenty of support for the stem. :)
