Does anyone know the correct battery replacement for a Purion display. Ed

Great reply!

I’ve noticed that electronic innovations are becoming more integrated in the new generation of ebikes. The auto industry has found that electronics can improve profits, so have embraced them. It looks like the ebike industry has learned that as well. I’ve seen ebikes promoting cruse control on...

I bought a Giant twist ebike in March 2009. i still ride it every day with the original batteries. They are getting a little low after 25k miles but I’m still getting about 9 miles out of each of the two batteries that came with the bike. That right, they made a duel battery ebike in 2009. I...

Eleven years ago a bought a Giant Twist ebike. I paid $2100 for it. That was a lot of money for a bike. I still use that bike every day, putting on about 2500 miles every year since I bought it. It’s still all original except for the plastic battery holder, grips and tires. Even the original...

I live in Chicago. When it snows here salt truck salt the streets, a home owners salt the sidewalks. Even after the snow is gone, salt residue lasts a long time. What effects does riding in those conditions effect a gates belt. Are there any other ebike components that are negatively effected...

I bought my first ebike 11 years ago. I’m still ride it every day and I’m still using the original batteries. Some electric bikes last a long time. Ed

No loctite on the bolts on my bike.

Most of the belt driven ebikes I’ve seen lately have a break in the frame to allow replacement of the belt. I’m still riding an ebike I bought 11 years ago and I’ve had issues with frame bolts the won’t loosen. Is stuck frame break bolts a concern for those buying a bike with a belt and a frame...

Eleven years ago I bought Giant Freedom Dx duel battery electric bike for $2099. It has a electric motor in the front wheel and a 7 speed internal hub in the rear wheel. I’ve put over 25000 miles on that bike . When it was new I could get 75 miles out of those batteries using the middle of the...

When I decided to buy my new electric bike, I researched the various options available. I must admit that the power tube option it’s a very sleek and stealthy design. I chose a bike with the power pack battery, though, because I found the power tube battery was a little tricky to get in and out...

Is it true that the Brose internal belt on their mid drive motors should be change after 10k miles, or at least inspected for wear? Ed

Is it true that the belt inside the Brose motor should be changed when the bike reaches between 12k to 18k miles? Ed

I’m not talking about bike car injuries or deaths. I’m talking about bike pedestrian deaths. I’m no talking about car bike injuries or deaths. Motorists in the Netherlands legally must be licensed and insured. I’m talking about bike pedestrian accidents with ebikes going more than 28 mph on...

I ride about 5000 miles a year. I’m a bike seat potato. Save you money. You may need it for license and insurance fees. Ed

If it hasn’t already happened, a pedestrian will be killed by a cyclist going more than 28 mph on an ebike. To many ebike manufacturers and ebike you tubers are making it too easy to delimit ebikes. Leglislative action for licensing and insurance requirements won’t be far behind. Ed

I have a Bosch powered bike with the Active Line plus motor. When I peddle backwards the chain cycles backwards. This does not happen with the new Bosch performance line motors. Why did Bosch make their motors different in that respect? Is their and advantage, other than chain cleaning, in have...
