    Difficulty Selling an eBike

    Not really going to work because doesn't matter how much you sugarcoat something that isn't a GREAT deal to a potential buyer. Stubborn sellers need to understand when something doesn't sell, they are asking too much for it, no excuses.

    Get a good helmet, and wear it.

    You're welcome. You asked for an opinion, and I gave mine.

    Difficulty Selling an eBike

    Last year the world was shut down, and the only thing one can do was outdoor activities, that included cycling. Now everything is back to normal: We can now once again go to bars, buy beer, watch soccer game, go to shopping malls to buy soccer shoes, etc. 90% of the folks that wanted to go...

    Difficulty Selling an eBike

    You're simply asking too much above fair market value for an inferior bike. Folks that worship their cars experience this same feat. Me being a bike flipper, you do not want to know how much I would offer for your bike. If you are motivated to sell, lower your price.

    Get a good helmet, and wear it.

    No. It was your fault, so may want to be careful it doesn't happen again instead to pass that responsibility over your helmet, which cannot prevent your accidents.

    ET Cycle T720 Just arrived, this is a BIG bike.

    The more you do PAS, the more battery you keep for the ride back. Using PAS to bring your ebike up from stop to 15kph, then human power after that will let you easily go well beyond 80-100km urban roads. Will also put less strain and heat to the "das kit" hub motor, which throttle-folks do...

    Satiator not charging at night

    You can't. When the Satiator can't communicate with a battery, for safety it will not start the charge and hand that decision over to the user to begin it manually. Grin can't expect to get cooperation with every ebike manufacturer out there, and they just weren't able to reverse engineer it.

    Rad Mission lemon or are they all garbage?

    You asked, "Rad Mission lemon or are they all garbage?" My answer is, Yes. Both. They are all garbage. To the haters: don't hate me, I simply answered the OP.

    Rad Mission lemon or are they all garbage?

    This is a great example of what can go wrong with "internet mail order". It might work out. When it does, great. When it doesn't, this is what happens. Lesson to be learned, buy your bike from a good recommended LBS (Local Bike Shop). Yes, there is a reason why Specialized, Trek, Gazelle...

    E-Bike hatred is out there!

    Yes he was being a dick, but he did apologize at the end. It's not like he screwed you over on price gouging for an air conditioner repair in the 5-figures, he delivered his service as advertised and promised. You have the choice not to use him again. I agree to bad reviews when I get screwed...

    NCM battery problem

    The button on the board is a simple momentary on short. If you feel confident, short where you think the button does the contacting. Hard paper clip is preferred over wire, as the wire may dance around and touch other unintended areas.

    NCM battery problem

    Here's a typical button you can find on many electronics, from a radio to an air conditioner. Ideal would be to open up the button housing. But I can't since that will destroy the button. I get enough cleaner into its housing by the gaps of the button, and then massage the button by pressing...

    NCM battery problem

    Not good enough. You need to get cleaner inbetween where the button sandwiches right over the contacts. All you are doing is getting a blanket of snow on the roof without cleaning the house. This was a very common problem with early flip phones and button devices like blackberries. Oil from...

    Flat Out Tire, Slime or the Dart System, Armor-Dilloz. What’s the best Tire Sealant?

    This is one of those things where you need your own experience to figure things out. I've never needed "tire goo" because all my bikes are protected with tire liners (I use Mr.Tuffy but there are others). I see you are also asking if CO2 is better than plain air, which is what all bikes are...

    Best Mid drive ebike 1000w under $3000 in stock July 2021?

    My suggestion is to get whatever you can get your hands on now to enjoy the limited lifespan humans have, and then be patient with what you want later. Yes, it means buying and owning a few ebikes, but that's something I never had a problem with. Good storage solutions is my friend.

    Where's Pushkar?

    Having worked for many "business owners", I saw what they went thru, and that has always made me stay at the ceiling as a highly paid employee without crossing the line to become an employer. From all my employment experiences, issues always stem from being understaffed. Really not that hard to...
