I believe there are very few experts out there that are actually experts on the care and safe charging of our ebike batteries. Most of us learn from articles and opinions that we have read and not from actual experimenting and testing we have personally done. Opinions are like as#####s, we all...

One can not even imagine the amount of bicycles in Amsterdam if you haven't been there. Rules and regulations are necessary.

14,000 miles ridden within the warranty period. The motor was replaced under warranty. Tell us what brand of bike this was and the brand of the motor please. I must say this sounds like a fairy tale to me.

To be fair fenders are mentioned.

When switching (breaking electrical contact) with DC verses AC there can be much more of an arc with DC, such as a welder makes so the switches are designed differently.

Batteries are very reasonable at Costco.

Been riding two wheelers all my life and used all kinds of mirrors. At an advanced age or 84 I am now using a helmet mirror which took me quite a while to get used to but once I did I do like it. Not easy to get used to though and it does need to be adjusted just right. I is also causes less...

Because they are cheap? Come on Stefan that is not even a valid point. Bicycle drive train components are not strong enough to withstand heavy loads of a cargo bike. Building a cargo bike with normal bicycle mid-drive drive components is sort of like building a gravel truck on a car drivetrain.

You are right. Distance, climate and also the cost of electric bikes is a factor here in the USA to be sure. I know lots of people who would like to have an electric bike but are held back by the cost. I believe as the glut on the market brings the prices down more will jump on the ebike...

Lock the front wheel brake and try to rock the bike fore and aft to detect if there is any play in the headset bearing. A loose bearing there can cause a wobble. There should be no slack looseness of the fork in the headset at all. It should be snug enough but not so snug as to cause any...

Most of our ebike motors are already filled with a bunch of gears so a few more for a transmission seems very feasible to me.

Want silence, I mean real silence get a Brose powers bike.

I had a bike with the 750 watt Bafang and one with the M620. The hub Bafang was quite a bit quieter than the M620 but not nearly as quiet as the Brose in my current bike. You have to strain your ears to even hear the motor. After all one of the main reasons I own an electric bike is for the...

Heavy sticky grease will cause a reduction in the efficiency of the motor due to increased friction of the heavy lubricant.

Did you have to add "by a 12 year old".

This cleaning of bicycle brake disks puzzles me why it is being done anyway. We never clean them on our automobiles or motorcycles so why on our bikes? There supposedly is a certain desirable condition that occurs to the disks and pads during the bed in procedure and doesn't cleaning just remove...

To be sure they are on your car/bikes etc. to slow you down, da. So why are you reluctant to use them. Do you not want to wear them out?

I live in Tucson, AZ which has a very good population of bicycles, electric and non electric. Miles and miles of riding trails plus the famous Loop. The fast bikes are on the road and the electric bikes for the most part are on the bike paths. The ones that are on the road are going fast and the...

I ride ride with as low pressure as to not feel any crisp feeling or drag beginning from the tire pressure being too low. I can feel it on my bike as soon as it starts pedaling a bit harder. Obviously the heavier the load the more pressure required to keep the crisp feeling and rolling...

You are going to have to replace anyway so so the extra work of trying to fix it and may not work anyway. Replace it. If you put a boot in it you may end up with a lumpy ride.
