    Barbecue grill for a safe charging station?

    Well, you certainly got my attention with this thread. I admit that I worry about this stuff quite a bit. Those of us who have participated in the China wild, wild west of ebikes should all be worrying.

    The suspense is killing us. How are you doing?

    Lectric upgrades, swaps and insights

    I have been trying to get my wife on my ebike. She has been afraid. Today, she took the plunge and took a ride. And she really loved it. I kept it in 6. I told her not to worry about the shifting. I started it in PA1 and told her, when she is ready to feel a little more engine pull...

    Where are your favorite places to ride?

    I don't have any pictures, but ... I have rail trail in my area that I have still not been able to get to - that I know is going to be a beautiful ride. But, I recently discovered - just riding my neighborhood is a great ride. The region I live in is beautiful, and the back roads of my...

    Addmotor —WTF

    I can relate. I don't have a failure yet, but, I'm just an inevitable failure away from the same deal. Moral of story - support is far more important than getting the best price.

    Hmm, I thought FedEx required a signature for these deliveries. I had to sign. Don't open that box until you take a ton of pictures.

    That's what I am going to do. Small sections so that I can go where I need to go. Will post pics before and after.

    Brands that care about - making parts available

    Some of you know that I am fairly new to eBiking. Started my journey in March researching, placed order in 3rd week in April, received bike at end of April. I *thought* I did lots of diligence, but, I have to raise my hand saying I failed miserably. I *love* my bike, and I don't have any...

    So what's your other hobbies or interests?

    One other hobby / interest of mine - is fantasizing about retiring. I have completed 60 revolutions around the sun, 38 of those in corporate America. Dreaming of affording to be able to have a minimum wage job in a restaurant and tell corporate America to shove. Have had enough.

    Cable wrap solutions

    I would be concerned with leaving it all exposed - when I inevitably ride in the rain, or, have to leave it out in the sun a bit. But, the existing wrap on the bike doesn't meet minimum requirements. It's garbage. Going to give something like this a try:

    Known Issues & Problems with Lectric eBikes Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    Interesting. It's not a Lectric thing, BTW. This frame is quite generic - used by many different eBike brands. Yeah, some factory in China probably pumps them all out. My frame is identical. My bike looks like a Lectric clone - with different stickers - and sadly - far less support than...

    Cable wrap solutions

    No specific problem. I just want to get my bike where I can get to the wires. The wrap I currently have requires me to basically unwrap the bike to see anything. Leaning towards some kind of split tubing so it can cover the wires, but I can pull it off easily.

    Cable wrap solutions

    My bike has crap cable wrap. Once I take it off to repair something, I don't believe it will go back on nicely. I also want access to all the wiring. I want to be able to see connectors so that I can purchase some replacements in advance of failure. What's a tidy cable wrap solution that...

    M5 LCD Replacement

    I have what looks like a Lectric clone. With a 500w motor, 48v controller, and the same display. I deeply regret not buying a Lectric. They are not the best bikes in the world, but the company is obviously committed - and has the capital - to support bikes and customers. All these super...

    Knocked off my regimen

    Today was only my first day on the bike since getting sick. Thought it would be sooner, but this thing in my chest has lingered far longer than expected, and, the weather didn't help. Just finished a first ride this weekend, and will be doing a few throughout the weekend. Lungs are still...

    Lectric upgrades, swaps and insights

    Ok, here's a Lectric insight: I now Get the Lite. When I first read the specs, I thought - not for me, I Have to be able to change gears. Bunch of people said to me - but the motor essentially acts like your gears. I didn't really buy that. Today, I put my bike in 6, put the PA on 2, and -...
