    Another easy 10-minute update followed by a boring ride where everything worked perfectly.

    I live in a very hilly area and have a 2020 Momentum Transend E+ with a 375w battery. I often charge the battery to 95-100%, ride 20-25 miles in 'auto' assist mode and usually have 40-55% battery remaining. 375w is enough for a lot of folks, but Momentum changed the battery on the Transend E+...

    We have both bikes and I made a YouTube video covering the differences between the two.

    Cleaning e bike

    I rode a mountain bike from 1981 until around 2000 and used Hondabrite. It is very powerful and crud and grease just rinse off easily, but be warned it will turn polished aluminum and gloss black powder coated accessories into a duller, matte finish. The dull finish polishes right up again with...

    Another easy 10-minute update followed by a boring ride where everything worked perfectly.

    It's the nature of all forums for folks to only post when things go wrong, so I thought I'd jump in with a post on how everything on My Momentum Transend E+ is still working perfectly after 18-months and well over 1,000 miles.

    GIANT RideControl App 2.0

    @Hammick with so many eBike manufacturers and models in the market today I'm sure you will find the perfect bike for your wife. Everyone has different wants and needs and if the heart rate sensor is your cup of tea, then that's what you should buy. I compared dozens of bikes online and rode...

    E-BIKE SPEED RESTRICTIONS (AGREE OR DISAGREE )

    Great debate subject, I'm in! I am all for restricting paths, trails, etc. to particular modes of transportation; examples include, but are not limited to pedestrians, horses, bicycles (including eBikes), motorcycles, quads, 4x4, etc. Restricting what mode of transportation is allowed protects...

    Flashing taillights from Amazon.

    I bought one of these years ago and mounted it on the rear rack of my mountain bike, then I moved it to my eBike when I sold the mountain bike, today it's mounted on the wife's eBike since I've hardwired a headlight and taillight to my eBike. I really like the pulse mode since flashing...

    I tried putting a Light & Motion Seca 1800 on my Priority Current, It didn't work

    Well, without any testing and given your experience I'm guessing that the Bosch powered bike could handle the Seca amperage draw better than the Current.

    I tried putting a Light & Motion Seca 1800 on my Priority Current, It didn't work

    I added the Light and Motion Nip and Tuck (now renamed Vis-E combo) headlight and taillight to my bike without any difficulty. The Nip and Tuck draw a tiny bit more amperage than bike's lighting circuit is rated for IF I run the headlight at max (500 Lumen), so I keep it set to Pulse, Medium or...

    A Teenager Hit Six Cyclists While Trying To Roll Coal And Was Not Arrested

    I'm speculating here, but I bet the police on the scene think big trucks and rolling coal are cool, and think hitting a bunch of nerds on bicycles is no big deal.

    How many gears do you really need & use?

    My Class-3, 42t chainring, mid-drive bike has a Shimano Nexus 7-speed internal hub and it has the perfect number of gears and ratios for where and how I ride. As you might imagine, I use #4 & #5 for 80% of my riding. #3 for slight inclines. #2 for more serious hills. #1 for the the steepest...

    Need paint color match for Trek Rage Red

    If you can't find a match among the available nail polishes and car touch-up paints, go to a hobby shop and pick up some model enamel. I bought a used pick-up truck when I was in high school and it had several on the sides and tailgate. I couldn't find any automotive paint that matched the...

    Yamaha battery subjected to high temperatures - still safe to use?

    I have many items that use lithium batteries that spend a lot of time in my vehicle under temperatures from 25 to 130f. My iPod lives in my vehicle 365 days a year and after four years and thousands of charge cycles it's just now starting to show diminished battery capacity. I have camera...
