My worst scare was from a guy on a crotch rocket, likely running well over 100mph and accelerating hard - wide open. No headlight, a black bike with very little frontal area. He was wearing a black t-shirt, black jeans, and a little beanie cap - also black. He came out of a tree covered shadowed...

Not sure of your question - regarding diamond vs. step through? I thought you might be interested in their entire line so you could see what they (the manf) have to offer?

My experience has been that bulkhead below the battery is only held in place by 3-4 screws. Inconvenient for sure, but geez, not a show stopper? There IS a chance that the shift detector has been installed between the motor and the frame. THAT'S a pain in the butt - as it's a guarantee you have...

Both of my Bafang throttles plugged in to the main 4:1 harness up near the rest of the connections (brakes & display). One harness did have the throttle lead doubled back and plugged into the hole it came from to conceal it. I don't know as there's another place to plug a throttle in on the ones...

I don't do any hardcore off roading, so I struggle with the extra weight/complexity/tuning/expense involved with a rear suspension for my needs. If I were 100lbs lighter (say 150-200ish) and spent more time dodging/dealing with trail obstacles and jumps, I'd have one in a heart beat. LOTS of...

Yup, no argument. I had my head on backwards - again.

Not pretending to be an FS expert, or intending to take away from the bike above. Just wondering if you guys have checked out Flex Bikes recently? They have this bike with an M600 in a standard version, and with the new M610 in their X package - 58 lbs https://flx.bike/products/the-weapon

The price of a bike hardly justifies/guarantees it being suitable for all riders. I wouldn't give you 500. for that 14k bike with with my riding needs in mind... Further, it would appear our OP has completely lost interest in this thread....

I wouldn't count on it - unless you are planning on something from WalMart or similar where you can show up in person, bike in hand. Support for bikes sold on Amazon are generally a disaster if you need it. Some will not... If you're planning on bikes sold direct to customer (DTS) it's a...

I'm not up on the BBS02, but didn't I see where the replacement controller needed to be configured with the motor it was installed on with a special "tool"?

Not too hard..... here's 2 that come to mind. Mid drive throttles can be hard to come by. You'll find they're standard, or at least optional on most by Bafang powered bikes https://rizebikes.com/collections/mid-drive-electric-bikes https://flx.bike/products/f5-trail

That range (when/if it's working correctly) is algorithm based on the last few minutes of the power used. It's junk at best. You'll have a much better idea of what's going on with some seat time. I charge when I see the voltage in the 46's and give it a full charge as I ride nearly everyday. I...

Second the vote for Slime (or something similar) in your tube as a flat preventative - BEFORE - you get a flat.

That's kind of an unusual set up I think. Never heard of one set up that way. Is there any possibility there is a setting that could be changed to allow a full time throttle with your PAS?

That's what needs to be kept in mind - riding style! The beauty of some of these settings is they let the controller be set up for a wide variety of riders. The only way you're going to know what your riding style is, is to ride the bike. I would suggest anyone starting out find a set of...

That dicey feeling is exactly why I insist on throttle equipped bikes (one of the reasons anyway, the one I use most frequently). You use the throttle to get the bike moving those first few feet while collecting your balance. Up hill, level, down hill, makes no difference, the launch is the...

Is there any lining left on the brake pads?

That was my first career, prior to going into IT. 20 years working with RV's, most spent as a service manager at a large dealership. Wore a LOT of hats!! I could be writing an estimate for a motor home collision with a deer one day, replacing the riveted skin on an Airstream the next...

Keep an eye on that 11t, and your chain. I have a feeling you're going to be going through them frequently....
