Using a throttle lever or twist grip is not generally a "no-pedal" situation for an e-bike. Except for making high-speed tight right turns, I never stop pedaling a bike. Cadence control is all about shifting into the proper gear. Using the throttle control is ideal for a temporary assist to...

A major power consideration with batteries is capacity. Battery capacity is stated as "Ah", (Amp hours like the 6.6Ah and 7.8Ah), and is a limiting factor for determining how far you can travel between a recharge.

Hi, Diane I recently saw a link to RideGenesis: https://ridegenesis.com/collections/electric-bicycles/products/crosstown-hybrid-electric-bike-nero Prices seem unbelievably low. I did note that battery capacity was very low at 6.6Ah and 7.8Ah, but the Black Friday price ($799) on the Crosstown...

" To say the least, I would be UPSET!

Wow, J.R.! I've just read your "wobble"question. Do you assume that a liquid compound in bike tubes contributes to wobble? While wobble is a serious issue if trying to ride "no-hands" -it's impossible to do with my e-bike. I attribute the e-bike wobble situation to the geared hub motor.

Your description reads just like the experience I had with my bike. After 300 recharge cycles providing reliable power for more than 5100 miles, the controller started cutting off power to the motor early into the ride while the battery still registeres adequate power levels. The diagnosis...

After yesterday's phone conversation and some additional detailing via e-mail RPE and I reached an agreement on rebuilding my 36V battery pack to 15Ah capacity -a 3Ah increase above the original 12Ah capacity! I am EXTREMELY satisfied with this deal. Further, I am grateful for the helpful...

from Sean Turner: 1:02 PM (10 minutes ago) to me Nice if you have a 350W motor we will use those cell as we actually have those in stock but they are testing at around 3000mah which will put you at 36v 15amp hour battery which should be around 450$ is this ok...

So I forwarded the battery cell info to RPE and they expressed some informed opinion with a reply back: <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Today from Sean at RPE: Good fine but are you aware those cells only have a 1C peak? This means that they are not able to handle a huge load and...

Curious! If there is a link, I would forward it to RPE!

Just to let everyone here at EBR stay informed on my progress with RPE, I've had another positive phone communication with Rebekah and Sean at RPE. However, there is, unfortunately, a bit of time-lag involved with configuring a rebuild at RPE due to shipment delays because of the Chinese New...

Here is the latest: Today I spoke with Rebekah and Shawn at RPE. They tell me there are some space challenges with my battery pack for upgrading it with 18650 cells. They think it may be possible to fit enough cells to upgrade the battery to 13Ah, but there is a bit of lag-time in procuring the...

Liking your advice on Li-ion! I had no issues during the first 300 recharge cycles and amassed more than 300 hours of usage. I sent my battery to RPE with all the correct "special certification" for ground shipping, and the battery has arrived at RPE. In my initial phone conversation with the...

I'm Not sure that RPE is not going to be the solution to the issue of refurbishing my battery, but I wanted to keep our members informed of my efforts at trying. I promise to keep my experience present and updated. At this point, I am a bit dissatisfied with RPE's customer relations and lack of...
