thanks for the reply. I was honestly thinking that it could be. Oh well i will keep looking, thanks

hmmmm this might be a good option. $500 from walmart. Hydroformed aluminum dual suspension frame is perfect for taming the trails. 29-inch wheels fit riders 64 to 74 inches tall. 100 mm travel fork helps to soak up bumps in the trail for a smoother ride. 8-speed Pro Rush MTB drivetrain with...

that looks pretty good. Seems the frame is a bit small but i like the idea of a fat tire. Another angle could be alibaba if i could find a trustworthy dealer. I wouldn't mind waiting a long time to save money.

Here is what i ended up getting. Its an Oontz Angle 3 ULTRA, waterproof with controls on the right hand side. I tested it out yesterday for 55 miles, worked very well. Right hand operates the buttons, at first i had it more centered, but i found moving it as close to the shifter to be VERY...

Another angle i was considering, speaking of Walmart (or maybe amazon), was maybe buying a complete electric bike from them and purchasing a warranty. I read some others on here doing something similar and i believe it could be a good way to ensure that the bike will be in good working order...

I was really considering using the gears from the motor. With my Arial Rider Rideal 750w motor with 6 speed, i could easily get away with just staying in 1 gear and using the throttle or high PAS for the rest. Only downside i could see is a lot of stress on the motor. Also i would consider...

sounds like the best way to go, thanks!

thanks for the replies, i will most likely skip it but it was worth asking. if i find any others i might post them here

could replacing it with an IGH be reasonable or easy to do? and maybe a front hub motor? Or i guess mid-drive motor at 500w or more but i'm not sure on the price and installation process of that. So unlikely but possible to install disk brakes which i would certainly prefer. if the frame size...

I have a 750w hub motor bike and it does very well on my hills, so if it's cheaper I would prefer a hub motor at around 750w to 1000w if possible. You are right, disc brakes I would prefer. Are they difficult to install or costly? My biggest need is a decent frame, I haven't looked a lot but in...

hey all i am starting to look for a used bike to make a DIY electric bike, i am looking for a step-thru model and preferably a japanese/dutch step thru /lady bike. I am tall, 6 foot 3 and already have 2 ebikes and want to have a 3rd that i build myself. This bike i found on craigslist seems...

I decided on replacing my bluetooth speaker with the one from the below link. Its waterproof and has the buttons on the right side that i need, i would have prefered the buttons at the top but i feel like they will easy enough to press with the right hand...

I know it's not either of the bike, but i just got the Arial Rider Rideal, $1000 for 750w motor and 48v 14ah battery. I was looking at bikes over $2k and i went with the Rideal. No suspension is the only downside, and lesser quality shifting. But for the price i think the motor is very very...

I am actually looking for a replacement for my current bluetooth speaker setup. I feel like using bluetooth connected to the phone, while playing mp3s is the best way to go. I have a rectangular bluetooth speaker that i have been using a few months but i just messed up the charging port by...

I'm loving all the replies! Valuable info for sure. I'm an electric bike newbie but i can see myself using them for years.. i got a little taste now I'm pretty obsessed haha

haha no problems. I appreciate all the comments, very good info. I am going to keep it how it is for this week and see how my hands feel.

So would the push button throttle like that have sensitivity similar to what the twist has? That is the only reason i would think to keep the twist throttle. I just looked at my cable, it is just like that, 3 wires. Thanks all for the replies. I forgot to mention i do have pretty bad hand...

Hello all, i am working on fixing up an old electric bike from early 2000's (visit my thread to see all the steps i went through, documented everything if your curious)that was sitting un used in my boss's basement for most it's life and it is working very well right now. I am trying to add...

i thought about that. I even read about left handed throttle on snowmobiles and how that is asking for accidents. Is it easy to convert twist throttles with push button throttle? It seems like a nice feature but over all safety long term and comfort on my body/ hands is absolute crucial.

100 mile review: NOTES: I am comparing this bike with my old mid-drive, 350w early 2000's Charger ebike which was my introduction to Electric bikes at the beginning of the summer. The bike is AWESOME. For what i wanted, i think it's perfect. This will be a commuting bike that will be used to...
