    Chain vs belt. Dad

    10 years ago I bought a chain driven Giant electric bike with a seven speed hub in the rear wheel and a motor in the front wheel. I still have that bike. I have over 25000 miles on it and it still has the original chain. I don’t hear any chain noise when I’m riding and rear tire flat tire...

    Why I chose a Pegasus Prino Sport,

    Got the bike last April. Just turned 3000 miles on odometer. No issues with the bike so far. The motor is still whisper quiet and no rattles from the bike. I really like the way it rides, just like a regular bike, only easier to peddle. Not very many ebikes feel that way, especially those with...

I noticed the clunking sound but I did learn that when the clunking occurred my assist level was to high or gear was too low to give...
