It is just the end cap that is cracked, so they are sending me a new end cap.

Yes, putting a bigger gear on the crank is what you will want. Some guys switch out the front depending on what season it is and where they might be riding...trail vs. road.

My ebike kit system has 100 miles on it. I pulled the battery out of the rack today and noticed a crack in the plastic casing by the two screws next to the locking bolt. One screw was halfway out, and the other was not tight. I will be calling ebike.kit about it. Wonder if this is going to...

I was on an Earth Day ride last year, and we came across this lady standing in front of a horse. Her car was parked on the other side of the road. The horse was loose and she was trying to coax it back away from the road. So we stopped to see what was going on. There was another horse in the...

I have stopped yelling out to people, I ring my bell, or use my air horn if there is a crowd of people talking on the trail...like yesterday. I honked 3 times on the air horn, and slowed down, and they gave me just enough room to squeeze through. The trail is wooded and has curves, so I use the...

i think your easiest solution is to put a bigger gear ring on the bottom bracket. Have a bike shop do it for you, if you need help to do it. I am assuming you only have one gear on the front. They will know how big a ring to put on....talk with them to see what they think would work.

I happen to have a 10 Ah LiOn battery that is 36 volts, so I like this graphic. I wonder if the assumption is you are running pas 5 for the 18 miles. In reality I run at pas 3 out of 5 on average, which would be 60% of the maximum draw of power. For example, on a 14 mile ride my battery will...

Electrical experts.....question for you. I like the graphic. I looked at the web site. They say you should plug your charger into the battery before plugging into the wall socket, because if you plug into the battery after the wall, your battery will get a shock from the live connection...

The bike and fairing are made in Lompoc, California, by Lightning Cycle Dynamics. Check out their website. The prices have gone up in 20 years. But, the disk brakes would be nice to have to slow this thing down, when needed. I bought it in 1999, and it is still my number 1 bike. I have...

There was a club ride with all upright riders, plus me, we would do in Waterloo, Ia. It was a 20 mile loop, we would do in one hour, at 5:30 a.m. in the summer. There was only one rider that would try to draft me. His handlebar would almost rub my shoulder. Everyone else claimed there was no...

I do have one good pic of that. Maybe two.

Why I just happen to have a few! They aren’t the best, but will do for now. I added a dashboard tube to mount the pas control, display and throttle, so I still had room on the handlebar for the air horn and a bell, and my existing bike computer. I like to tinker with the dashboard a bit. The...

I have lived in the Scranton area for five years. The first year the spring riding season weather was sunny so much, not so much the last few. With my new e kit, I am now able to ride the hills here, that I would have to otherwise walk. My handle is my bike brand and model....Lightning P 38...

Have some Steely Dan songs on my playlist!

I will do that on the first of the month during riding season. Thx.

Wow, you ride the heck out of those bikes! I just added a e kit to my Lightning P38 recumbent. I had 17,000 miles on it in 10 years before I added the e assist.

Kamloops, eh....I passed through there on the Rocky Mountaineer train. Everything was pretty flat on the train route, because that is what trains need! I just added an ebike kit to my recumbent...wow...what a ride now. I used to ride it with the full fairing on it, but the hills here are 800...

This is my girl fully dressed. I can also ride her with just the front fairing on.

Two and a half chains....but it lasts twice as long!

The front fork on my bent is not heavy duty enough to handle the torque. But, no, I have not seen a bent with a front hub motor.
