    Fat tire tread noise.

    I should clarify on the Chaoyang tires. They are one of 10 top tire companies in the world and make tires for everything from bikes to motorcycles to cars. Their low end, Chaoyang named ebike tires are not the best quality. I do like Origin8's brand, however which I believe is made by...

    sondors battery

    Lots of factors. Depends on how they used it mainly. If you can see how many miles are on the bike display (it should have a total miles), then you can estimate roughly how many charge cycles. Also, find out if they stored it a 100% over the winter or for large periods of time. Sondors...

    Fat tire tread noise.

    There can definitely be a noticeable noise different between good quality and cheap tires. As most people have said, if you avoid the Kenda's, Chaoyang etc cheapies, you will hear and feel the difference when riding.

    Why did you buy make and model?

    I like BH (formerly known as Easy Motion/Emotion) ebikes. They are well built with great quality components such as Brose and Dapu motors and Samsung Batteries They come standard with features like torque sensing and hydraulic brakes BH has a great warranty (5 years on motor controller and...

    Sealer for tire flats-Green Slime, Flat Attack, Zefal or Fix A Flat for Bikes?

    One reason is the Kenda tires. They are probably the lightest (and cheapest) fat tire available. The problem with this is that it also makes them very thin which offers little puncture resistance.

    I am curious about this ProdecoTech Investor

    The idea is good but it is not practical to do more in the U.S. China is already set up for mass ebike manufacturing with an eco-system and supply chain that we cannot match. The components are already made in china, the workforce is super cheap and because China has less stringent compliance...

    Evo Street Pro

    I really like my Easy Motion Evo (not street), its a 29'er. I am 5'9 and it is a bit tall for me but I manage. Just like the Street model, mine has the torque sensor and hydraulic brakes which really make it a great bike. 500w is plenty of power because that is nominal power and peak is more...

    Why do I have to wait for so long before I can post after I just posted something?

    Yea it is annoying. I think 1 minute is also appropriate.

    Why no torque sensor?

    I prefer a torque sensor because it makes an ebike feel and function more like a regular bike while bringing the gears more into play like a regular bike. You also get the power when you really need it like when going faster or up an incline rather than having it all the time even when you...

    2018 Addmotor MOTAN M150-P7 vs. 2018 Radmini

    I would go with Rad. Better service and response. For Addmotor warranty service you would have to deal with shipping to China

    How to Best Charge Battery for Longest Life

    Even if you charged it up to 100% every time, a good pack should still last you at least 3 years and probably more. Replacing or rebuilding packs is getting cheaper every year. I suspect by 2021, they will be better if not cheaper batteries available. For now, just charge up your bike and use...
