Gotta hand it to Google News feed - it keeps leading me to intriguing ebike info. The following piece seemed worthy of an EBR post: https://www.electrive.com/2021/08/31/schaeffler-presents-chainless-e-bike-drive/ Excerpts from a press release: The first application I thought of was...

My best advice is to do a lot of research before making a purchase. I got my first TSDZ2 from EcoCycles, and they've been very helpful all along the way. There are a lot of options, and these guys seem to have the most stock and accessory options...

A 15 MPH ebike limit seems appropriate for mixed use trails and paths. It might even be too fast for singletrack. On the roads, however, "20 is plenty" for me. I can understand the appeal of 28, but cars don't expect bikes to go that fast, and accident injuries become exponentially more...

You bought them new at Goodale's just a few months ago and they want to charge you to perform a Bosch update? That's not cool...

G510 (Fifield Rogue Wave) M600 (FLX Trail)

I've ridden a couple of ebikes with "torque sensing" Bafang mid-motors, and the power-down delay you mention was similar to that of their cadence sensing systems. Unlike Bosch-Shimano-Yamaha-Brose etc, whose power shuts off immediately when you stop pedaling, this can indeed be dangerous on...

I got this done by the closest Bosch-certified LBS when I sold my 2015 Felt LebowskE in 2018. Showing it only had 36.2 full charge cycles definitely helped me get my asking price!

Agreed! I just sold two Haibike eMTBs for almost exactly what I paid for them nearly two years ago - still in excellent condition as I rode them minimally (they were acquired for my eMTB Rentals & Tours biz that never got off the ground). One of the bikes wasn't even "listed," and the one that...

You're not alone - the TSDZ2's fixing block didn't fit my bike either, and the motor's casing broke similarly to yours (pic below). It was fine for several hundred miles with the stock 42T chainring, but I got speed-greedy and slapped a 52T badboy on it. 10 miles into my first ride with 52T and...

In my experience (40+ "new" ebikes since 2015), some ebikes come with transferable warranties, but most do not. A lot of consumer-direct ebikes' warrantees are hardly worth pursuing anyway. Responses to claims can take weeks, months or more, and they often won't cover LBS labor charges. With...

Big improvement on the wheel spec! What's the inner rim width? My 2017 HAL eBoost Pro, which I sold in 2019 when I got my Commencal MetaPower with the same e8000 setup, came with WTB i29 (pics below). IMO the 29mm-wide wheels were a bit too narrow for the 2.8" Rekons it came with, so I put...

If you're in the N. America or Mexico, I urge that you look into eBike Motor Repair before abandoning your PW-X. Michael may be able to tell you if the PX-X2 system will work on your old Sduro... I just sent my 2017 Haibike Allmtn's Bosch CX to them, and got a complete overhaul for less than...

I've sold more than 30 used ebikes in the last 6 years, most of them in the higher end and predominantly via Craigslist. Some have gone quickly, some took months. I used to get really good prices when I bought them new (20-60% off MSRP), so I was able to sell them for close to what I paid...

I recently sent my out-of-warranty Gen3 CX in to eBike Motor Repair in TN (EMR) and got a complete overhaul (and then some) for less than half the price of a replacement motor! Want more details? Please read on... When replacing the chain a couple of years ago on my 2017 Haibike Xduro Allmtn...

I believe Yamaha has been making mid-drive motors since the '90s. And to me, this Haibike sure looks like a mid drive ... Either way, Haibike was putting Bosch mid drives on eMTBs at least as early as 2014 (I had one), but I don't think Specialized came out with its first eMTB until 2016. I...

Are you sure about that, Stefan? Haibike claims that their 2010 eQ XDURO is "the ancestor of all eMTBs."

I usually declare "I'm cheating!" before they get the chance to say anything :p

That's a Yamaha motor and can probably be repaired or overhauled for less than half the cost of a replacement motor by this outfit: https://ebikemotorrepair.com/
