    I thought Class 3 would feel safer on the road

    When living and working in Lost Wages NV I bought a little Toyota Yaris to sub for my Tundra and work day commutes. I sold it after 2000 miles of asshats needing to pass, even if I was running 10-15 over the limit. SOLD! Same result on 30mph city streets in MN. I’m running my BBSHD @35MPH and...

    bafang middrive 250watts

    Well the completely out of focus connector looks black and perhaps there was a poor connection and i5 shorted. It’s one of the hall sensors and thar could account for the motor sound and stopping. Replace the connector and make sure it’s fully seated. It may be fine. Just an FYI

    Groundbreaking Trike?

    I’ve now had 3 different front drive wheels on two trikes. I’ve ridden a 2W conversion on a Trek Pure frame, read Townie geometry. A Townie DD front wMxus and MAC geared and direct drives. I really do like my front drives, or did until I tried them on delta trikes. AWFUL! In nearly ten years and...

    The Empire Strikes Back: Big Bike Brand Offers $2k 28 mph E-Bike w/Torque Sensor (Cannondale Adventure Neo Allroad S)

    I spent an hour at the LBS a Trek dealer. Brad tells me Bosch has never asked for the return of a motor, or battery replaced under warranty. AND he finds Bosch to be incredibly cooperative and in full support of easy warranty replacements and repairs. Looks like the Ms will be a Boschevic.

    Hello! and I think I want to build my very first ebike(compact cargo)!

    Someone opined, "tried it and I was still mashing gears all the time". Technique grasshopper technique...;) Having been involved in beta testing, in 2014, I have a bit of experience. I sold a lot of them but again, they're best suited to n00bs to efficient shifting techniques. In my world...

    Hello! and I think I want to build my very first ebike(compact cargo)!

    I have thousands of miles and 6 years of BBSxx support customers without gear sensors. They are a convenience but not a necessity. A first version TSDZ2 now has over 6000 miles with $100 in repair parts at 5000 miles. With the BBSxx series, a simple back pedal or tap on the brake cutouts to...

    Careful of Dost Bike Co.

    I dunno, it sounds like a little kid I used to pick up in a daycare bus. Every day he pooped his trousers just before we picked him up. He was a stinky little fella. And every time we asked him, "did you poop?" he denied it. But everyone could clearly SMELL his poopy pants. And I'll repeat...
