You might want to review a similar thread from last year: https://forums.electricbikereview.com/threads/ebike-riders-we-need-your-help-for-your-feedback.53910/ Perhaps the original poster would be willing to compare results with your survey.

My niece's husband has one. (not a Rungu but very similar) He uses it for hunting and the dual front wheels provide more stability in winter conditions on very rough terrain. This is especially true when dragging a deer out of the woods. I've tried it and it feels awkward at high speed on the...

Along with many others, I always have my eyes open for my next bike. Mine is 6 yrs old now with well over 10K miles. I'm curious what some of these "newer" features are. My current bike has front fork and seatpost suspension, 500 watt rear hub motor, dual batteries, hyd disk brakes, 10 spd...

The freewheel pawls disengage and just click when you pedal backwards. You can't apply enough pedal pressure to activate the torque sensor. I'm not sure why the cadence sensor doesn't activate. Must be a lockout circuit somewhere. Anyway, as a safety measure, I always switch to PAS 0 before...

No. Both the torque and cadence sensors on the Pedego do not function when the crank turns in reverse.

This also happens on my hub drive Pedego when walking the bike backward, and I'm told it's normal. I simply turn off the power to avoid any issues.

It would be interesting to find out if the OP of this nearly 9 month old post made his choice, and if so, how it's working out.

If you post some pics of the bike, battery and connectors, you might get more suggestions. If your battery is "generic" and not proprietary, you may be able to use another source to buy one. However, as stated by @John from Connecticut above, lithium batteries are nothing to fool around with...

During a ride on Pennsylvania's Pine Creek Trail this week, I noticed a gas well being drilled adjacent to the trail & creek. I suppose it was bound to happen eventually, since this portion of North Central PA sits on top of the gas rich Marcellus Shale formation. It's a shame really. Pine...

There are various methods of cleaning battery contacts. If you post a pic of both the male and female connectors, you might get more suggestions. Cleaning the connectors is likely a temporary fix at best, but worth a try. As mentioned by @Gionnirocket above, you will eventually have to...

I've stripped too many threads with digital torque wrenches over the years. Unless you're willing to spend the $$ for a good quality mechanics grade digital wrench, do what I did and get a good beam type wrench.

I live in PA and have purchased several batteries from Grin without any agreement. Not sure about other states though. Be aware that there is a tariff on batteries imported into the US from Canada though. It was $120 on my last order.

The Spiderflex uses the standard rail mount system found on most saddles. It should work fine with the Suntour.

The 21AH rating on the battery refers to it's capacity, not how much current it will supply. The 22A rating on the controller is the maximum current it will supply to the motor. 22A should be fine for a 750W motor. Some batteries and controllers have fuses which are usually rated between 30...

I've been using the Spiderflex for 7 years now, with over 7K miles. It's still the most comfortable for me. Saddles are a very personal item though, and one size does not fit all. The manufacturer offers a 30 day money back guarantee (minus shipping) so you can easily return it if it doesn't...

Likely not an e-bike, but it's an interesting rig: :rolleyes: I particularly like the chariot themed helmets.

If the bike operates normally with the throttle unplugged, you should be able to remove it. The thumb throttle body on most bikes I've seen, is held in place with a small set screw that can be difficult to find. Remove the grip & brake lever assembly, and with the set screw loosened, the...

I haven't tried the Adirondack Rail Trail yet. It's just 10 miles in length and not worth a 4+ hour drive. I've been waiting for additional sections to be completed before making the trip. Some information on the trail is available here: https://www.traillink.com/trail/adirondack-rail-trail/...

Grin Technologies is offering a 25% off sale on their stock of non U/L approved batteries: https://ebikes.ca/shop/electric-bicycle-parts/batteries.html All current Grin batteries use high quality Panasonic or Sony cells, but are not U/L approved. The sale is to make room for their new stock...

As mentioned by foofer above, the AirZound is popular with cyclists, and quite effective as long as you remember to recharge it. The air canister is also a bit clunky, and tricky to mount...
