    I wasn't sure what KST stood for either. For 'Korea Standard Time'. LG is a South Korean company.

    E-bikes under fire as fatalities climb in NYC

    One city to keep track of that is building out good supporting infrastructure is Lisbon: https://www.ecf.com/news-and-events/news/how-cargo-bikes-are-winning-hearts-and-minds-lisbon-0

    Front and Rear Lights Installed on Giant with L&M Lights

    Hey everybody! Linked here is a guide for those that want to install front and rear lights on their Giant bike. I’ve done this before, but on a 2017 Road E+. I am installing Light and Motion's lights on a 2020 Revolt E+ which has the same JST, JWPF series connectors and 6V supply. Chances are, a...

    E-bikes under fire as fatalities climb in NYC

    Supporting infrastructure is so critical. I believe it is the difference between e-bikes lasting, or just being a fad.

    Heavy rider, very steep hills, not too expensive! Help please

    I think this is the source of confusion/disagreement. Perhaps call it a torque divider for <1, and a torque multiplier for >1 (Cog teeth/Chainring teeth)? And before anyone points it out, yes you can multiply the inverse to divide. Per indianajo's point, my own mid-drive has a stock setup with...

    Widespread Giant motor creaking problem - time for a recall?

    Nice, I love the ingenuity! They added spacers from the factory to my Revolt E+ at the motor mounts. This was a big issue. Good point on connectors. An even easier and surefire way of getting the connector positioned right is to mark the connector and bike where the connector fits to with a...

    New Motobecane Gravel/Road Bikes with Integrated Battery and MidDrive BAFANG M800 System

    1 chainring versus 2 chainrings doesn't imply an inferior setup. Recent trends have been to add cogs (10 speed versus 11 versus 12 versus 13 speed) to the cassette, then make the high higher, and the low lower. Some people don't like front derailleur rub, the extra weight, dropped chains...

    Anyone with a 2020 Revolt E Pro?

    Nice, I like this setup a lot. Would the One clear the stem? I was thinking of doing that plus running my Garmin 510.

    Anyone with a 2020 Revolt E Pro?

    Hey dotcom54, under what conditions does it turn off? By any chance when it starts to get bumpy/rough terrain or under impacts?

    39,000 miles/62,000 kms in 37 countries with a Riese & Müller Supercharger

    He mentioned February 2021 on his website so I suspect he is ok.

    The pace of innovation is mind-blowing!

    Thanks for the share. 80km/h is quick! They are competing against ~$800 scooters. Would like to see some clever financing options to bring it to parity. India does have >1B people, so they don't even have to appeal to the masses to make money. Also, how is India's power grid? That I think was...

    First ebike: Getting off my Hipster High Horse

    Ahh, the Propella! That's the other one I was thinking of but didn't remember the name for. They have been around for a little bit too, so figure they have worked out some of the kinks. @jkhaha What do you mean by 'hipster style'? I noticed you mentioned liking some bikes here that I don't...

    First ebike: Getting off my Hipster High Horse

    There may be frustrations with those companies for various reasons, but Eric who heads Luna is a polarizing figure. Watch some of their videos and you may get the vibe I am referring to. Or better, just ask them questions about their bikes in their chat.

    First ebike: Getting off my Hipster High Horse

    No I can't speak to it, never ridden it. But the build itself makes sense. And it's in stock (per the site) when a lot of bikes are deeply backordered. It is a direct purchase so expect to do some of your own work or set aside money for a velofix or a local bike shop (if you are really...

    Can Giant 6v-9w headlight circuit handle Nip & Tuck 6v-9.49w load?

    Sorry, just stumbled across this. I didn't get a notification for the tagged name...I can safely say I got reduced lumen output from the 800 model. Safety issues would come into play if the lights and associated wiring were rated less than the system was capable of outputing. No issues with...
