    Amego Infinte/Magnum Metro+/Voltbike Bravo

    Not random at all. It's the bike in my avatar and the one I have posted about really wanting, but by the time I convert the $1,799 US cost, add duty & shipping plus tax, it works out to over $3,600 CDN. So I am being realistic and want something I can use this summer for commuting around town &...

    Amego Infinte/Magnum Metro+/Voltbike Bravo

    From their website..."We have partnered with UberEats delivery riders on everything we sell. If you are registered as an UberEats delivery partner, you are eligible. 15% on Amego brand & 10% on all other ebikes" (Link Removed - No Longer Exists)

    Not getting what everyone is doing!

    Would really like to see a pic of this ebike build. Not all of us want to build our own, just like I would prefer to drive a Tesla than build my own electric car.

    Amego Infinte/Magnum Metro+/Voltbike Bravo

    I would probably just upgrade the front brake to hydraulic if I wanted. I am sure you have heard of Uber the ride sharing program and UberEats is similar where you can order food from your local restaurant & have it delivered. Mainly done by cars but in big cities they also use bicycle delivery...

    Amego Infinte/Magnum Metro+/Voltbike Bravo

    I moved before Christmas and am now about 3 1/2 hours from Toronto. And I have no plan to do UberEats other than registering in order to get the discount if I chose to go with the Amego. Replacement parts would have to be shipped regardless of which brand I go with.

    Amego Infinte/Magnum Metro+/Voltbike Bravo

    I can get a further 15% discount (UberEats delivery program) on the Amego Infinite which would knock it down to $1,950 with free shipping. The Voltbike Bravo would be $1,747 including shipping and they include a helmet as well. I have emailed Voltbike to inquire about a hydraulic front disc...

    Amego Infinte/Magnum Metro+/Voltbike Bravo

    Looking for any owners experiences with these 3 eBikes. These are all very similar in terms of features. The Metro & the Infinite are basically clones of each other with the same 500W Das rear hub motors. The Bravo has a Bafang 8Fun 500W motor. All have a similar battery at 13 Ah & USB charging...

    Throwing your leg over an E-Bike

    I have a large milk crate for carrying groceries on the back and am still able to step over the frame although some days it is a bit of a challenge if I am stiff. I will stand on the firewood chopping block at home to mount the bike and there is usually a curb or bench handy after I reach my...

    Motor change-out

    Interesting frame design on the Seagull. And at $1,369 a decent price point for an entry level eBike. Has Tektro hydraulic disc brakes, suspension fork, throttle and 26mph pedal assist. I also like the rear brake light built into the battery. Does it have a Torque or Cadence sensor...

    Cadence Sensor

    Not sure if some eBike displays have this function, but I have not seen Court mention it in any of his reviews that I have seen. For $60 CDN...$45 US this device has no magnets & attaches to the crank arm and connects wirelessly to your phone and can be used with Strava and other ride apps...

    CCX Spoke Replacement Instructions/Tips

    It's normal for the drive side to have a higher spoke tension then the other side on a dished wheel. As long as each side (left/right) has comparable spoke tension between individual spokes it's all good

    Juiced Releases new Electric Scooter

    That link is showing the scooter on sale at $999. Still expensive in my mind but as a last mile mode of transportation to work it makes sense.

    Handlebar clock?

    Similar product as above by Monkeyjack for $6.98 CDN which is $5.25 US https://www.amazon.ca/MonkeyJack-Bicycle-Holder-Forerunner-Approach/dp/B076KPWZP1/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_107_lp_tr_t_2?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1&refRID=HZ947J925BS97RNPQKR2

    How to tell what Ah your battery pack is other than what they say it is?

    WOW...that first video with results of 900 mA on a 4,800 mA rated battery was quite shocking. Now I realize a static test like this does not represent a real world discharge rate but at 1/5 the capacity claimed this shows an alarming discrepancy of the counterfeit battery. Would like to have...

    handlebar shakes

    Check to see if the front wheel is true. Lift the front wheel off the ground and give it a spin. It is not normal for the handlebars to shake. Rear hub motor is not causing this.

    Eye candy!!!

    I like the vintage look of the Ruffian. But then I am biased by the Ariel Rider W Class in my avatar. That's the great thing about eBikes. There is something for everyone. Commuter, Mountain, Cruiser, Fat, Folding, etc.
