Grin makes several products for mounting batteries. They also have a video with tips on how to do it: https://ebikes.ca/product-info/grin-products/battery-anchors.html I use their "Bottle Bob" in addition to the 2 cage bosses to mount a 10# DB9C battery: Very solid. It hasn't shifted at...

Did you pitch a tent and wait 12 hours in line to get it, like I see on TV? :)

Yeah, these padded cases can get expensive but so are the batteries. Safety during transport is also a consideration. I consider it insurance and use these cases from Nanuk: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FM8I1XW/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1 Many sizes are available...

Nice build! It should give you a significant range boost. Do you notice any difference in bike balance with the battery weight on one side? One minor improvement I can suggest is to round off the corners of that aluminum angle bracket. I know from experience that you will eventually catch...

Greetings from just south of you in northeast PA! I get up your way to ride many NY trails, including the Erie Canalway. Welcome aboard!

I'm not sure what you have against a convertible pannier / backpack. This new 25L model from Arkel looks promising: https://arkel.ca/collections/bike-panniers/products/bug-pannier-backpack Comes in several colors, uses rugged YKK zippers, has a weatherproof laptop pouch, and will fit almost...

How will all this "smart" battery technology work in areas with no Wi-Fi or cellular coverage? Will the battery still be functional in these areas?

As long as the voltage and polarity are correct on the XT60 connector, It should work. Give it a try. It isn't likely you will damage anything. The only hassle I see is how to mount the Aventon battery on the second bike.

It's interesting you mention this. Coincidentally, I met a fellow rider at a trailhead last week. He had an Aventon, and I noticed a short wire hanging off his battery. When I asked, he told me about the proprietary Aventon connector. He wanted to use his Grin Satiator so he bought a short...

I wonder if it would follow me into a dark tunnel, illuminated only by my bike headlight?

How is the data link handled between the battery and your server? WiFi, cellular, satellite? I live and ride in an area that has poor to no cellular coverage. Will this plan work for me?

Since you already have the PRS-15, save your money and do what I do. Just lift the lighter front end of the bike with the rear wheel still on the floor. Then connect the stand and pivot the heavier rear end off the floor. It's even easier if you set the front wheel on a milk crate first...

Personally, I prefer basic black. The colors are nice but where I ride, I would just as soon not call attention to the fact that I'm riding an e-bike. Are these batteries available now? Are they UL approved? If so, how do I order one?

+1 on Arkel. I have 3 sets of panniers, 2 handlebar bags and a rear rack bag all from Arkel. I've been using them for many years without any problems. I particularly like the fact that they use high quality YKK zippers. I have at least a half dozen bags I no longer use due to cheap zipper...

A few years ago, I was surprised to learn just how much Co2 grasslands absorb. I used to cut my fallow fields once a year, but now do it every 3 or 4 years, just to keep the invasives under control. Not sure just how much I reduce the Co2 level, but it's an excuse to avoid the work. 😁

Interesting product. Thanks for the heads up. I have a few questions though, like how a single derailleur can work with 3 to 14 cog cassettes. How does it compensate for the different pitch chains. Hopefully, the Archer shifters will hold out long enough for some reviews to show up with answers.

Yeah, AAA is only good if you can drag your disabled bike out to a paved road. For me anyway, for most of the places I ride, it's better than nothing. AAA or not, I doubt you will find any tow truck that will go off road on a bike trail. Having to drag your bike a mile or so to a paved road...

I have them on 4 of my bikes. Two are the first generation but still work well. I did replace the Archer batteries with an aftermarket brand though, when the OEM batteries failed. I only have to charge them 2 or 3 times per season. The problem I had was getting the batteries out of the...

I got this email from Archer today: We're not stoked to say this... But the time has come to shut down our business. We have one last batch of batteries, chargers and remotes (sorry no more shifters). Head over to the shop to get what you need to keep your ride shifting...

Here in the US, AAA covers bikes. Not sure about CA though.
