    Is a Bolton Ebike, now Area 13, Right for You?

    Congrats on getting A blackbird. It’s super fun. After about 500 miles I replaced the entire group set. I wanted more speed on The flats and still wanted to be able to climb. There are many videos on YouTube that help explain choosing parts and achieving your goals. This thing is almost like a...

    19” is the frame size. Both bikes, the Blackbird and the Foxbat have pros and cons for each of us. One of the pros for the Blackbird for me was a bigger frame. In fact, the frame size of the foxbat was a deal breaker. I am 6’4”, 280. So my advice to you is, when you get the bike, tighten down...

    Cool. I’m pretty jealous. I rode the FB. It was fast and comfortable and I wish I could have purchased it but it was only 19”. I wanted the 1000 watts and the cadence sensor and mid drive but I needed a bigger frame. I have some unsolicited advice if you are interested. Enjoy!

    Freewheel to cassette

    A big thank you! It's all done. I got in two test rides and one crash. So funny. I learned a lot. I had some difficulty, made some mistakes, used box tech support via email which was great. I sent them pics and they told me what was wrong with my install and how to fix it. I followed...

    Freewheel to cassette

    Not to correct you, sir. My apologies. The SRAM X5 will not accommodate a larger than 36t sprocket. I need a new derailleur. I’m thinking about Box Prime.

    Gents, I ended up calling Area 13 and I did speak to Kyle. He verified that it is a cassette! M@Robertson, You were right! You know more about my bike than I do. Much respect! In the event that anyone else wants to change their Black bird, here is some quick community info: The max 1st...

    Freewheel to cassette

    Thanks. I see the picture but the specs and videos , terminal ology used by staff, etc all point to a freewheel. I think that’s a generic photo. If you are right, this will be great. Thank you, Jim

    Freewheel to cassette

    First things first, Thank you for a quick and detailed response. Secondly, you are a bada$$. I think you’ve forgotten more than I will ever learn. All signs point to a freewheel. Pics, vids, literature, product specs. I have verified it is a 9 spd by looking at the freewheel and counting the...

    Freewheel to cassette

    Good morning Ebike enthusiasts! I have a Blackbird. It has a 750w bafang with a freewheel. Does anyone know if it’s possible to convert the hub to accommodate a cassette? Here’s why: I went from a 42t to a 52t chainring to help with top speed ghost pedaling. I’d like to add a new 1st gear...

    I have Blackbird (bb). I bought it in May of 2022. I have had it for about 4 months and ridden almost 500 miles. I’ve had issues/problems but they’ve been fixed quickly. I’ve bought accessories, added upgrades and made changes. It’s a great bike. It flys. I’m 6’4” and 275. I did two years of...
