I guess I have a bit of a diy mindset. I was just toying with the idea. I’ve already decided against it. We have enough other things to do and it would be nice to get out and enjoy our bikes while the weather is still nice!

I just like the idea of knowing exactly what cells are in it.

Hi PedalUma! I’m very interested in one of your batteries. I’m in SoCal though… perhaps we can chat? I’ll send you a private message with my contact info. We still haven’t assembled the bike… doing that tomorrow and installing the motor. Here is a pic of the fender. You cant tell anything from...

I‘m clear on the voltage & cells… researching the BMS now.

I should mention that we have welding and soldering equipment and a safe environment to do this! My husband professionally restores cars so we’re not exactly your average DIYer.

thank you so much! I’ll reach out to her

Hello all! A couple of months ago I bought a used Electra Townie off Craigslist for $100… I disassembled it, painted it ( Montana gold is awesome paint) meticulously sanded it and then sealed it with a 2k clear coat… i think it turned out better than a factory finish 😂. My husband teased me as...

Very cool! I have a step through townie 7 gear. I will share photos when it is finished!

This looks great! Where can I find this battery? Thank you!!!

Hi all! i Bought a used townie off Craigslist for $100! Its a full custom project! Paint and all! We’ll see how it goes , lol! I just ordered my tongsheng motor from PSWPower for a great price. Now I need to get a battery. We are probably going to put the battery in a custom made basket on the...

Thanks guys! I think what I will do is upgrade the pads to kool stop. I’m not a heavy rider and won’t be doing any extreme riding… we’re talking cruising around bike paths in sunny Southern California. Yes, there are hills but I’m sure it will be fine.

I’m in the import business. I can tell you that even stuff that’s made in USA will contain many components made overseas. if not, the materials to make the components will come from China. China is a well oiled machine. They are incredibly efficient and their infrastructure is staggering.

Hi all! We just bought a nice Bosch powered Electra Townie for my husband and now it is time for me to get a bike too. I am looking at a standard townie that I will convert. The bike comes with linear pull brakes. Are those ok, or do we need to upgrade them? If so, any suggestions? Thanks!!!!

Wow! thats amazing!

Thanks everyone. it appears this bike has lots of life left! At $800 it was a no brainer!!!

Hello all! I just bought a used 2015 Townie 8i with the Bosch performance motor and 400 battery pack. the bike has 4800 miles on it, but I got it for a great price ( at least I think it was 🤔) The seller ( off Craigslist) claims the battery is new … How much life can I expect to get out of the...

Interesting! I tried the 26” interceptor and even my toes didn’t reach the ground. I’m 5’3” with a 28” inseam. They did have a really cushy seat on it and also the shock absorbing seat post .

Hi all, I am shopping for motors. After reading this article , I was led to this Aliexpress listing. I am looking at the 500W 48V configuration with the simple VLCD06 display. The price appears to be really good? Is the 500W motor sufficient? We don't want crazy fast bikes... just some PAS...
