    Got Called a "Cheater" by Another Cyclist

    A little bit of knowledge is a dangerous thing. I’m a foot surgeon (podiatrist) so knowing a bit more than average about all of this didn’t exactly make it easier or less anxiety producing. After the strokes, the doctor came in and talked about the procedure to put heart stents in my brain. It...

    Got Called a "Cheater" by Another Cyclist

    I did have a major heart attack too, though 13 years ago. Left bundle branch block from the prior heart attack sent me into acute congestive heart failure in October. My left side cardiac output was down to 18%. (Yeah, that’s pretty bad.) But I got a biventricular pacemaker defibrillator in...

    Got Called a "Cheater" by Another Cyclist

    Five strokes, actually. My brother had it made for me while I was in long term therapy to recover the use of my paralyzed left arm and leg. I only have residual weakness in my left leg now.

    My brother had this shirt made for me while I was in rehab. It’s one of my favorite biking shirts.

    Troubleshooting a BBS02 e bike

    Thanks! I had a minor stroke summer 2015 then four major strokes in March of 2016 that left my left leg, left arm and right side of my face paralyzed, as well as deafness in the right ear, complete loss of balance, and difficulty with swallowing and talking. They put two heart stents in my...

    Troubleshooting a BBS02 e bike

    I received the proper type battery mounting plate that corresponds to this new battery (r049-2) and managed to hook it up. This new mounting plate has Anderson connectors so I had to retrofit the power leads off the BBS02 with Anderson outlets. I got the new battery plate mounted and wired up...

    Have you seen a U.F.O while biking?

    Sounds like a Chinese lantern. And apparently you can make one with a dry cleaning bag: Also - 1966, on an e bike? Or maybe I just read it wrong.

    Troubleshooting a BBS02 e bike

    I did try this as I don’t think I had anything to lose, but it didn’t work unfortunately.

    Troubleshooting a BBS02 e bike

    Yeah, I finally found the correct mounting plate on eBay. Of course I could also buy that spare battery I’ve been talking about and it will come with the correct mounting plate

    Troubleshooting a BBS02 e bike

    I picked up the battery from the archery shop this morning, brought it home, opened it up, and immediately realized the spare battery Rambo sent my archery shop for my e bike last summer is the wrong style battery. This is my original s039 type battery and mounting plate: This is the battery I...

    Troubleshooting a BBS02 e bike

    He’s going to sell me the replacement battery for $200. It’s just a 48v 10.4ah battery but that’s not a bad price at all. Any idea how to troubleshoot the original bricked battery?

    Troubleshooting a BBS02 e bike

    Thanks. I figured out the battery is completely dead and won't take a charge. I checked it and the charger with the voltmeter. The charger is putting out 54v but the battery only has four volts after charging overnight. So I just needed to figure out how to replace the battery. It's the older...

    Troubleshooting a BBS02 e bike

    Hi folks, Due to serious health troubles, I parked my Rambo e bike with a BBS02 system in the garage at the beginning of September. I finally pulled it out this week, dusted it off, charged the battery overnight and tried to go for a ride the next day. The first thing I noticed when I charged...

    Rambo hunting e bike as a road bike?

    A local Bafang builder had the Luna hardware to reprogram the controller and did it for me. Luna used to sell an electronic control box specifically for that purpose.

    Rambo hunting e bike as a road bike?

    It’s working well for me, but only after a number of upgrades. One of the common complaints over at the Costco site was its slow speed. Well, it’s made for riding off road, hauling hunting gear and game, so it’s geared really low. At road speeds my legs simply couldn’t keep up with how fast the...
