It honestly isn't that difficult and not only is it a skill well worth learning but you will also feel accomplished afterwards. I guess that Leon will pay for the LBS to do the job for you though but you should at least ask the guy in the shop to talk you through it so that you can do it...

That is one NICE looking bike :-) Welcome!

Never had a bike chain go on me but I did once "lose" a motorcycle chain - I couldn't understand why when I stopped at the traffic lights that the thing wouldn't go again when I put it in gear. I took me a while to work out that there was no chain there any longer. It must have come off while...

NCM Moscow is not a lot over the $1k mark in the US and is a lot of bike for the money. OK it is rear hub drive and mechanical disc brakes but it's got a 48v 13Ah battery and is available as a 29er

I replaced the standard grips with Ergon GP3 style grips and they keep the display clear of the ground on a flat surface when upside down. Either that or use the handlebar jacks, two bits of timber or a pair of shoes under your grips to avoid damage. I find a 10mm open spanner invaluable in...

Don't you just hate winter? Moreton Bay Cycleway - just south of Brisbane.

I will message you

A bit annoying that the front light connects to the bike power but the back light needs its own batteries.

There is a whole thread (https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/ncm-moscow-plus-throttle.33675/) where this is discussed. Essentially it depends on which version of the display you use and which country you were in to begin with. There are versions of the display that will allow the...

I cannot believe the price that they appear to be elsewhere and I am not even convinced that they all have the same connector. I can confirm that the one I got from Leon Cycles AU was a straight (plug & play) swap and was delivered nice and quickly. I am pretty sure that if you contact them...

Just so you know, if you do upgrade the display to the C7, you can add a mechanical right brake lever that has a motor cut-out switch connector. (https://www.leoncycle.com.au/right-e-brake-lever-tektro-el550-ts-black)

I think you are going to have to get a comparison with another US user but that is certainly not my experience with a standard Moscow on a C7 display here in Australia. Fully charged my battery shows 53.9v today (I have seen it just above 54v once) but I have also had it go down below 45v and...

No. 2 is definitely me, except it is a bit sexist - my wife bought her own e-bike, I tried it and I loved it so I bought one too! :)

@tbar23 - I don't know if it is an option for you but i have a similar situation and they way I resolve it is by going one way each day by e-bike and the other way by other means. Luckily for me I only work four days a week but I have a 37.5km (23.5 mile) commute each way, so I go to work on a...

My brother easily weighs over 250 lbs. For that very reason he rides a Riese & Muller Charger which even in "basic" trim should be good 50 miles with pedal assist but with the dual battery option would go much further. It ain't cheap though.

It must be a regular thing - they didn't send me one either (or the throttle). I messaged them and they sent them straight away but I am in Australia so it was obviously a lot quicker.

No idea really but I guess they claim they are selling them for use on private land only and the responsibility to comply with the local laws is the owner's. If you like the look of the SmartMotion then I would suggest having a chat with a local dealer in Tassie and asking them what your...

Weird! I did think at first that the difference might be between 27.5's and 29's but the first photo is a 29 and the "inside" spokes do not overlap the "outside" spokes although you would expect them to and the second photo is a 27.5 where the "Inside" spokes do overlap the "outside" ones. So...

If you want to know more about various countries and their e-bike regualtions look here (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electric_bicycle_laws). You will see that Australia broadly follows the EU (250W maximum power, 25km/h maximum pedal assist, 6km/h maximum throttle speed), probably mainly to...

I think that historically Dapu have had good reviews for their hub motors but less so for the mid-drive ones like this but they seem to have improved and SmartMotion use them in other bikes. The responsiveness and range should be good from a mid-drive (certainly over 100km if ridden...
