    How low do you let your battery voltage go before you fully charge it?

    When talking about a dormant period for our batteries, are we referring to: a few days, a week, a month, a month plus? I've also read in various places to top it off after every ride. Lots of grey area regarding this topic.

    Ebike Chain Lubes

    Yes, I've been using a Paraffin wax and paraffin oil combination for the last year without any issues. I enjoy the whole procedure. As far as cleaning, I use a mineral spirits bath in the jar instead of the gasoline he uses in the video. Sometimes once, and if extra dirty twice. Then one or...

    Winter doldrums

    Unless there's snow on the ground, I try to ride whenever I can. Good gloves (with liners), down vest, down coat, thermals, etc. We're riding electric bikes so weight barely comes into play. Certainly not as aerodynamic as in the warmer months so speed isn't anticipated. Just to get out...

    Manhattan’s only e bike store closed down

    Getting back to the topic at hand, I think NYCeWheels might have closed because the e-bike market has spread out further than a few specialty stores in Manhattan. These days, the majority of the human powered bike stores are also carrying e-bikes. They may not stock the quantity of an e-bike...

    Bosch Speed Performance system shuts down mid ride.

    Try tightening your battery mount by bringing them a little closer to each other. Just slightly. Worked for a couple of inmates including myself. Good luck. I know how frustrating it can be. Healthy new year to ya.

    Anyone see a power saving difference using a neoprene sweater on their battery in winter temperatures?

    Just a follow-up question: Is it mandatory to remove these neoprene covers when charging the battery due the charging port placement or a heat buildup issue during the charging process?

    Protecting bikes on Saris Bones carrier? Bike fit behind front seat in Honda Accord?

    I haven't had any issues with the 4 clips chipping the paint. Under the 2 large rubber feet, I put a folded up (size of feet) piece of dripping wet "Bounty" paper towel after cleaning the area they're to be seated upon. Works well for me.
