    Quill Stem riser help.

    It's actually the (Chinese) seller not describing their product correctly. When you see this, what they mean is, it's a quill stem for a 22.2mm fork, that accepts a 25.4mm handlebar. You are right with 300mm being hard to find. I've never seen one that long. I have in stock ones that are 220mm...

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

    If you think you'll be doing some serious mileage, you may want to install some tire liners (I use Mr.Tuffy on all my bikes), because we know how Canada just loves to spray all our roads with tiny bits of sharp gravel. I prefer tire liners vs slime because slime can backflow and blow out of the...

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

    You may have discovered that you can really stretch out the battery if you set a low PAS on those nice straight flat runs where you can easily pedal faster past the shutoff. I can't really tell from the map you posted, but if you are doing mostly paved asphalt and occasional light groomed dirt...

    Charger Replacement

    Yes. I am proud I can quote properly, not make up text that was never written, and not resort to insults because that's all that's left to be done :)

    850 miles in two months on my trail tracker / first flat

    You really need to stop breaking your ebike and go to your Local Bike Shop. Don't go from worse to worser.

    850 miles in two months on my trail tracker / first flat

    This is a great example of a DIY gone wrong. From bad to worse. Your LBS is your friend here. Don't go from worse to worser.

    Can you quote me where I said "better"? And thanks for bringing it up, I am happy, I love paying "through the A$$". What else am I supposed to do with all my money, I have so much of it :D

    Charger Replacement

    Folks shouldn't even buy branded manufacturerd bikes at all, because it's so easy to just DIY convert their existing pedal bike :D

    Charger Replacement

    How silly of me. Forgetting how everyone can DIY that on their own. 8 rounded up to the next dozen is "about a dozen". Besides, it so easy to makeup your own dongles with "$20 worth of off the shelf parts". Yes, I am cheerleading because I own one and love it, thanks :D Can't say the same...

    Bent Derailleur Guard (not what you think)

    And that's what I was trying to say. There was no problem with that "bent derailleur guard". They often look like that from the pressure of the axle bolt to frame. It didn't even have to be removed, all you had to do was re-fasten all fasteners. You're supposed to look out for your derailleur...

    What are you talking about? You do know that the Grin Satiator has about a dozen different charging dongles to plug to whatever batteries?

    Bent Derailleur Guard (not what you think)

    As with all fasteners on any bike or ebike, this is and always your responsibility. When you do it often enough, it takes under a minute to check criticals before each ride. But most people do not, and your post is proof. This piece is supposed to take damage, and is not a part to make a bike...

    What pedal assist Ebike should I get?

    At those amounts, why not just deal with your Local Bike Shop? If you feel confident your LBS has a good operation going on and can give you value added service for a peace of mind for anything that can go wrong, that may be a good choice. If you want to dive into internet mail order, I invite...

    Charger Replacement

    No, it's a post-pandemic supply chain issue. Everyone has to pay thru the nose for anything and everything. Ebike manufacturers/assemblers might be stuck between a rock and a hard place where they barely have enough to complete a boxed bike for retail. For those that can't afford a Grin...

    Pro's and Con's retrofitting electric existing bike?

    From my experience, it's safe to say that if it doesn't look like a "bicycle" then it won't pedal like one. Most buyers won't have the upper hand to test drive as many as I have, so it's a good rule for a buyer's first ebike purchase.

    Weight of Battery and Seat/Seatpost?

    Glad I was able to guess what you needed :) I understand what you are going thru, because half the racks I flip go to ebike owners. Another good reason to remove accessories, flashlights, lamps, seatposts, batteries, while the bike is on a platform carrier is to reduce stupid theft. People can...

    FLX Trail 5 import from USA to Canada.

    You are the responsible ebike owner and operator, and I commend that. We need these "pain in the ass" regulations to make it harder for all the affluent yahoos from easily buying an e-something and use it on a pedestrian-only path lanes that is clutterd with kids on training wheels. I witness...

    I have to admit - I almost backed out of buying an ebike after joining EBR - glad I didn't
