    Review: New LMT'D - new owner's perspective

    Checking the stats on three 750 watt motor bikes I'm looking at the LMT'D has a 22 amp controller. The Dost Kope and the Juice Crosscurrent X use a 25 amp controller. Amps = Watts divided by volts. Since we know the volts and amps we can figure watts. LMT'D 1056 watt, Dost Kope 1200 watt and...

    Review: New LMT'D - new owner's perspective

    There is very limited customer experience with the LMT so far so every owners comments are appreciated especially Lumpy's. I sold my 2019 Giant Explore E + 3 today. Very sophisticated E-bike but I missed a throttle and the motor is designed to cut off at 20 mph without some type of aftermarket...

    Don't take it personally. I'm not bashing any individual.

    Review: New LMT'D - new owner's perspective

    Thanks Lumpy, I follow this thread to hear your view and updates about the LMT. Anything not about the LMT should be started on another thread. That's how forums work.

    Weight is not a big factor on an electric bike. Weight, wind, hills, an electric bike gobbles it up like candy.

    Problem with latest firmware update

    The E Glide ST with a 500 watt rear drive motor is my main ride. I like having a throttle to start off with from stops. The Giant Explore was a good deal from a friend who could not ride any longer. The Giant is more like riding a regular bike with a little extra oomph!

    Problem with latest firmware update

    I purchased a 2019 Giant Explore from a friend in February. Had trouble with the Ridecontrol update and took it to my local Giant dealer and did the update for free. Also gave me this pretty cool report card. Even shows the percentage of the PAS fields you use when you ride. This is my 2nd E...

    Some odds and ends

    I don't have much to say but the bike is running great. I had a flat though. Here in Las Vegas there is all kinds of branches, gravel, rocks on the the road not to mention glass and the Schwable Big Ben plus just handles it. I did run over a branch and a large thorn got stuck in the tire. I...

    E-Glide ST review

    I couldn't find that information anywhere. I know it is located on the top of the battery holder for easy access. You might want to call Dave at E-Glide.

    E-Glide ST review

    Roland, thanks for pointing that out. I completely missed it. Before I called Dave I saw the metal lock piece for the cable under the cap, pulled the cable through the hole at the end so I could reach the lock screw and ended up not being able to thread the cable through the hole again. In other...

    E-Glide ST review

    Hi, I'm coming up to 11 months with the ST now and the only problem I have is the remote lock up cable does not seem to be engaging. I tried the adjuster nut on the handlebar and it doesn't seem to help. I took the two allen screws off that holds it to the shock and it looks like it is set at...

    E-Glide Battery Upgrade

    I noticed some of the good starting price electric bikes like ours have upgraded their batteries. Rad power now comes with a 48 volt 14 Ah battery with their new models for $1499.00 so the price must be coming down. A year later now and the powerful 11.4 Ah battery in our bikes is looking...

    E-Glide handlebar grip upgrade

    I purchased some black leather handlebar grips from Rad Power Bikes. Comes in brown leather, black leather and black rubber. $25.00 even. No shipping or tax. Very nice. Fit exactly except for the plug on the left side. I had a spare that was narrower. Also did the rack update...

    E-Glide Battery Upgrade

    I found another E-bike manufacturer Volt Bike, that uses the same battery case as ours in their Yukon 750 series. 48V 11.6Ah. On sale right now for $499.00. VoltBike Replacement Parts So there are a number of ways to go when it's time to replace the battery. If you charge your battery 200 times...

    E-Glide Battery Upgrade

    I also read over the past few days that the cost of lithium-ion batteries are going down. Bloomberg New Energy Finance (BNEF) reports that lithium-ion battery prices have fallen “by almost half just since 2014” Still, the price of the lithium-ion cells used in electric-car battery packs is...

    E-Glide Battery Upgrade

    I have also found Juiced Bikes use a similar down tube case like ours. Their Oceancurrent and Crosscurrent models have either a 48V 8.8Ah and a 48V 12.8Ah. The 48V 12.8Ah retails for 699.00! Good batteries are expensive! They have a nice battery chart on this page: (Link Removed - No Longer...

    E-Glide Battery Upgrade

    I thought I would start a new thread on the E-Glide Li-Ion battery. I mentioned " The Lake Mead area has taken me to the extreme limits of what my E-Glide can do. I have run out of juice twice before getting back to my car. Your pretty much dead in the water going uphill without the electric...

    E-Glide ST review

    Thanks Roland, I had the same idea for the Topeak bag since I used them on my last non E-bike and still have two Topeak bags. Now I have a winter project. Two things. I purchased my first set of Tektro HDC 300 brake pads since mine are pretty worn down from slowing down going downhill. Two...

    E-Glide ST review

    Roland I have had it down to one bar flashing! I'll keep an eye on it next time but I think the number was 43 BMR. It seems like it takes a long time to go from 5 bars to 4. After that it goes down faster. I've come to the conclusion that when I get the #6 error message, I'm trying to draw more...
