Hey there, i found out what is wrong with the Charger. I finally opened up the battery case and saw that a wire going from the board to one of the battery melted at the fuse, and that is why i could smell the burning plastic. I haven't emailed Sam yet, i will try to do that today. Hopefully...

In the next few days i want to get back to working on this. Snow and mainly ice has prevented me from riding and i was too busy to begin this project but things are dying down and i want to get the lights hooked up ASAP. I will plan it all out and work on the diagram for the switch i have.

Oh wow it's a small world... Wouldn't it be something if i got my bike up and running and we got together on a ride? That would be wild! Sam can sometimes take a very long time to reply via email, and it may take a second, i imagine he is very busy. I am going to try to take apart the bike...

America has a SERIOUS problem with cars and its absolutely bonkers and i honestly don't understand it. Everything is about FREEDOM and SPEED... why on earth do cars have speedomotrs of over 150 mph??? The mentality of car drivers (everyone) and their desires are insane. I don't know what...

16 miles every day for the last 6 months. Biking in under 32 degrees F no problem. I live in Northern Virginia and this is my first year owning an electric bike. Even in winter i prefer biking over riding a car and spending around $5 per trip to work. Just doesn't make sense when I myself...

I really loved the bike, but after having a 750watt hub motor and seeing how a "modern" electric bike runs with out needing the motor chain is pretty nice. The chains on the charger are the only thing that really annoyed me. They would pop off like you said, and as you know the tension of the...

yes i tried that too, right before my batteries had a lot of problems. I road this bike with batteries i bought off amazon for a good number of miles, they worked pretty good but i was getting pretty unusual battery shut downs due to unknown reasons. I presume it was because it was the middle...

by the way your bike looks to be in amazing condition. Looks awesome! Swept back handlebars make a huge difference, i was getting cyclers palsy in my wrists when using straight bars. My fingers were curling, or clawing, after a few weeks of use and that was one of the first things i changed...

Hello there, awesome to see someone with the bike! i posted in this thread to keep a kind of tab on everything i had to do to get it working. How long ago did you buy the bike and when did you get the batteries and from who? The original batteries from the bike came with Lead Acid Batteries...

Thanks for all the replies, its really helpful. This is my first year electric cycling and i am obviously trying to stay alive, that is why i shared the video. Also i wanted to share the video quality of the camera that i use. Lastly, i just want to clarify that i felt very safe in the...

One person is saying i was riding too defensively and another comment in the video said i was not riding defensively so i am a bit confused. I started more on the right side but went to the middle to be seen more. In general, i try to ride middle right, trying not to pass the middle of the...

Thanks all for the comments. I always run daytime running front and rear lights that came with the bike, i also use a small strobing light connected to my left mirror. I also have a small light connected to the back of my bike helmet. But yes i agree more lights are needed. I started a thread...

While riding on the road in Northern Virginia on a road i use every day, a driver decided to not fully stop and turn left into me. Because i know this road well and know the semi blind turn, i have been waiting for someone to do something like this for awhile and i was luckily prepared. My...

Hello there, i am also riding in Northern Virginia, i ride to work from Vienna to Falls Church, 8 miles each way, using the road half the time and the W&OD trail the other half. I ride everyday and have found good routes that take me through neighborhoods for the most part, and i do have to...

Out early morning testing out my old early 2000's electric bike, couldn't resist.

Been working on it, replaced the cables and housing and it was running better but still having some issues with skipping or not holding a gear, so I will have to open it up and clean it. I finally raised the bars too with a stem riser and put in an adjustable neck. Also ordered another...

I might try some stuff today, just waiting on a few things from amazon and i need to finish cleaning my area before i start projects. I will take off the the light mount that the box is sitting on to move it down to give enough room for the sus post.

This is where i am planning on putting the box. I just checked, my 2ah battery fit inside so im using the larger ones will too, along with the adapter to it and hopefully everything else needed (relay, flasher, etc). The way it is, i did not adjust my seat at all, and i would have to move it up...

i dont want flashing headlights, i just want flashing (blinking) turn signals instead of just staying on solid. The headlight i want on solid. Just found a 25% of ryobi battery deal on slickdeals, going to try to find something good on a larger batteries. edit: Got a 4ah and 6ah battery and a...

I am doing cleaning and organizing, and i am trying to find a use for old inner tubes. I have a box of many tubes that i just can't throw away. What do you use your inner tubes for? Found this video and i am kind of glad i kept my old tubes I love the idea of using it as shims!!! a...
