I have a 48 volt 350 watt EBO hub motor on a recumbent trike that has power (display is on) that is randomly cutting out. The controller, cadence sensor and brake sensor have all been recently replaced. The battery is ok as it has power. This happens when the motor is cold or warm. It can cut...

Jimfastcar- I have a friend who has the Thule Easy Fold rack. She has traveled quite far without any issues with the rack. As far as the cover is concerned, we traveled from California to Arizona and back in wind and had no issues. I put an additional strap around the outside cover, wrapped...

I didn’t buy the Formosa cover. I bought the Pro Bike cover. For two bike on a hitch rack, I bought the XXL size. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B074JLFJ5D/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 We drove in a hard rain storm and still got water and condensation under the cover. I...

This is what I use. I have two of these batteries and use the small one for shorter trips or as a spare. It has a soft pack so I keep it in a Walmart case in the link below. The Walmart case is a cheap solution but I like it because it disguises the battery and it has padding. Luna also makes a...

I realized that I didn’t thank those who responded. I ended up getting a Formosa cover online and paired it with a magnetic light kit from Harbor Freight.

I forgot to mention that you can replace the Bafang handlebar display (I think that is what is replaced) with the Eggrider which connects to an iPhone or Android and enables you to change your motor power/ settings. I don’t have one because my cycling is very casual And I want to keep it simple...

I recommend posting your question on the Luna forum. https://electricbike.com/forum/ . Go to the “Ask a Question, Make a Suggestion” forum and post your question under the first sticky topic. You will receive an answer from Luna within one day typically. I have the Bafang BBSHD. Mine is...

I believe that both Catrike and Ice make etrikes with fat tires. Also Greenspeed. I’m sure there are others. You may want to check out the recumbent trike facebook page.

On recommendation of others, I replaced mine with the Shimano STEPS EC-6000 when I installed my motor. I haven’t had any issues with them.

Jstoffel, I have the Pro bike cover and am very pleased with it. I towed about 900 miles with it. Mine does hide the tail lights so I used auxiliary magnetic lights on the car. We used it on a towed vehicle behind our motorhome.

I am carrying two ebikes, with mid-drive Bafang motors, on a hitch-mounted rack. I’m carrying them on a car that is towed behind a Motorhome. I have a waterproof cover but it covers the taillights of the car. The water is thrown from the road and gets underneath the cover. Has anyone found a...

Carrying a cargo rack with the bikes isn’t a problem for a 1/2 ton truck. They typically have a Class II (rated at 300 lbs tongue weight or a class III hitch which is rated at 600 lbs. check you spec sheet or online. The hitch may have a sticker on it with the specs. We have used cargo racks...

I'm curious if you were riding on paved trail or desert terrain? We were in Arizona (Quartzsite) and my 2.00" tires were a little wobbly on the large packed rock! Time for a fat tire ebike! Chopperbill - I heard that there is still some snow hitting the hills in some areas! It has been...

MrGold, what brand/model of aux light did you buy to attach to your rack? I have the same issue when I place a bike cover on when towing the car/bikes behind our Motorhome.

Hi Pierre, I think that a conversion would be the way to go. Perhaps a Bafang drive where you could program the display/controller for less power for a child's safety. Also, you can get brake sensors so the motor cuts out when the brakes are engaged. You could use a smaller 3 lb. battery to...

Good to know!

Keep in mind that the Electra Townie is pedal assist. It can't be used for throttle only. I believe that you said that you need that feature. Good luck with your search.

I got these Shimano crank arms for my Bafang BBSHD on the recommendation of others and they have worked well. (Link Removed - No Longer Exists)

Did you order the ramp to assist with loading the heavy ebikes? They don't advertise it but they can provide it for a small extra charge. It will save your back from lifting the heavy bikes onto the rack. Sorry, don't have an answer about which tray to place close to the SUV.

Thanks! This is a great forum!
