    Hub and freewheel wobble

    Good video - I watched a few of these when I first saw the wobble. The consensus seems to be that it's due to poorly machined hubs and there's no easy fix. Many just live with it with no major issues.

    Hub and freewheel wobble

    I just received my XP ST for my girlfriend and it has a lot of freewheel wobble. The wheel and rotor is well aligned with no significant wobble, but the freewheel has the most wobble I've ever seen. I have 5 bikes and 3 eBikes, most with freewheels, and none have anything near this amount of...

    Known Issues & Problems with NCM Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    Sadly, a new controller had no affect on the noise and loss of power after the very repeatable 8% grade, 5.5 mile climb at PAS 6. I think I agree that this may just be a limitation of this bike. This bike will climb crazy steep hills as long as you're wailing on the pedals in low gear, but long...

    Known Issues & Problems with NCM Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    Thanks for the response. The hill I was on is a pretty steady 10-14 MPH hill, but there are a few slow sections where I may have dipped to 8 or so. I also noticed that when it occurs if I quickly stop and lift the rear wheel and hit the throttle the noise and vibration are still there with the...

    Known Issues & Problems with NCM Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    I had the same issue with my Moscow+ after about a 5 mile climb - pretty repeatable. It comes on suddenly with vibration and I lose most of the drive power. If I tap the brakes the noise and vibration is instantly gone. I took a video for Leon Cycles and I let the noise persist for about 20...

    Any hub motor e-bike recs for my farm?

    I have the Moscow Plus with the same motor. It puts out over 700W peak (just under 1 HP) and will climb just about anything as long as you're cranking on the pedals. Low gear of the 24 speed derailleur setup helps a lot. I lose traction offroad and spin the rear tire before the motor bogs.

    Moscow rear rack

    Topeak Explorer Rack mounts well, works well, and has many supported options.

    Any hub motor e-bike recs for my farm?

    IMO you won't find a better performance/value bike than NCM. Their Aspen Plus would likely fit the bill. https://www.leoncycle.com/ncm-aspen-plus-electric-fat-tire-bike

    Moscow Plus Battery Bar Display Sketchy

    I have about a dozen battery cycles on my bike and I'm still trying to understand the rationale for the battery meter indicator on the C7 display. During my first ride, I thought I would have 40+ mile range because the meter stayed at max 5 bars for the first 45 minutes. Then it dropped like a...

    Well that was fun

    My first rear tire flat on my Moscow plus was a pain. I read the flat repair procedures posted here a few weeks ago but I'm glad it didn't go completely flat on the trail or I would have been walking as I didn't have quite the right tools. I now carry a Huffy horseshoe quick change tube (be sure...

    New Moscow Plus - my mini review

    I'll also add that I was pretty bummed about the 20 MPH top speed, but since most of my riding is a mix of on and off road I don't often feel the need for more speed. If this was more of a commuter I'd probably be pursuing the other NCM and Magnum display options that bump the speed up a few MPH.

    New Moscow Plus - my mini review

    That's good to know about the range as I could certainly use more. I'm currently at about 5-6 cycles on my battery. I get a flashing one bar low voltage indicator on my display at 44.9V (indicated). This is probably closer to 45.4V actual, about 3.5V per cell, which is pretty conservative for a...

    New Moscow Plus - my mini review

    How I spent my summer with a Moscow Plus... I’ve really appreciated the reviews and comments I’ve read here on this site and they have significantly influenced my buy decisions. At least I’ll know who to credit or blame… I’d like to add my (somewhat lengthy) review of my latest electric 2...
