No it is not easy. Adapters are difficult to mount so that they don't move. It's easier to buy a fork with the caliper mounts. Unless you get a suspension fork, I don't think there is any point in changing If you want a suspension fork, most are disk brake compatible. The better ones will...

Tariffs are just a sneaky way of getting people to pay higher taxes and fool them into feeling good about it,

Nice looking bike. I recall Pittsburgh as a city of big hills, We stayed downtown one July 4, maybe 1998, and walked to the river to watch the fireworks. Other than a mirror, there's nothing more I would add to your Roadster, When you start electrifying regular bikes, one of the bigger things...

If you cannot get it from Ancheer, it's a long hard path. I was exchanging posts with someone a few years ago ago with the same issue and I'm not sure he ever got the replacement going,. It looks like a controller that fits inside the battery cradle. Most of the units you probably have found...

I have bought several sets of spokes from this ebay seller. He's in downstate Illinois. The referenced item isn't black, but you can contact him to see if he has your two lengths in black. You'll probably have to buy more than 4, but so what...

You mentioned moving up the food chain. This Ride1up is way up the chain with the current overstock sale of $1299. https://ride1up.com/product/prodigy/ It's not advertised to do 90 miles. They say a more realistic 50 miles. A spare battery will be a lot more bulkier than on the other bike, but...

I went back and read the specs more closely. I missed that it's a torque sensor bike.In that case, they could set PAS 1 low enough that 90 miles could be possible with disciplined riding under ideal conditions. I withdraw my pitchfork and bucket of tar. I own a pair of torque sensor 250W mid...

ALuminum frame, rear 500W motor. Depends on how dead they are, How about a picture?

Most cadence sensor ebikes probably cannot go 6 mph, They probably have a minimum speed of at least 10 mph. So it's a moot point. If you get 90 miles on the Via, you had the motor turned down t PAS 0, and you were pumping the pedals.

I'm looking at the link for your bike. What the heck. They say 90 miles is possible? https://youngelectricbikes.com/products/young-electric-vie-27-5-step-through-350w-hybrid-ebike-shimano-7-speed-torque-sensor-suspension-fork I have measured real world capacity on quite a few batteries, You...

Hall sensors are small three pin components, almost always mounted on a circuit board like on this Bafang motor. In your case, looks like they're in the back. Follow the red/black wires which are power for the Hall sensors..

I had a flat tire 4 miles out, doing the walk of shame, and was using walk mode to get the bike up a hill. After a mile of this in the heat of summer, I said "screw this, I'll never make it home." It was a rear tire that was flat, so I jumped on the bike and rode it home. Tried to stay on...

There's a lot of wires on that KT controller. I don't need EABS, cruise, or the lights. I cut those off, pull the wires inside the case and tape them up. Many motors have speed sensors built in, and the 6 pin rectangular plug will pick it up if present. Be glad you have a white wire for the...

If it's that important, you should call Bosch and confirm. However, since the answer really doesn't affect my future, I can say Bosch and most every other ebike manufacturer uses NMC cells. Two bike makers that used LiFEPO4 were Prodeco and A2B. and they used pouch cells and cylindrical cells...

Which display is on the bike? looks sorta big.

Things just cost more in Australia, but I imagine it's worth it. Maybe your Scott dealer in France can take the battery on consignment and get you a little money. Looks like a good bike worth bringing home, unless you plan to be back in Euro[e soon,

I hate to be a downer, but I'm 75 too and time really isn't waiting around for us. Don't think too long, Buy something soon. I've been ebiking for 9 years and enjoying it more every year. I like the Propella 9S. Mid drive torque sensor. It probably won't fit the tyical senior ebiker because...

Hi James. You asked a fair question, Bike riders aren't supposed to know the technology behind battery safety. We've all gone thru the history of cell phone, laptop and skateboard fires, and it's normal to expect that consumer safety and governments have cleaned up lithium issues. Has yet to...

Cranks always rotate backwards when rolling the bikes backward. until they jam against a kickstand.. Happens to me every day when I roll the bikes out from storage, If they rotate when rolling forward, probably a sticky rear gear. Power should be in zero assist when rolling an ebike anyway...

Drunk or not, your buddy and you have good tastes in bikes.
