I agree with all 3 points. The Rholoff gives you 14 gears and you won't regularly use them all. 2nd -5th will be the climbing gears and I seldom use 13th or 14th although it would be fun to see the top speed in 14th gear unlocked pedaling using highest level of PAS and/or full throttle. That...

IMO, the axel issues were related to the SA IGH and should be considered part of that configuration. The seatpost issue was limited to an early batch of frames and seems to be resolved. I'm tall and had the seatpost at full extension putting the seatpost under maximum torque with no issues at...

First impression of the Rohloff equipped MD 1000 ... paint the aluminum billets to match the frame. They sent me the same raw billets with the SRAM rear wheel kit. I used a generic flat black paint and it looks okay but installed on the bike they should ship out painted. Yeah, I think that is...

This thread is on an interesting tangent. I owned 5 motorcycles in my 20's all BMW (twins) and sold my Specialized Turbo Creo last year. I suppose the German engineering and assembly process of the BMW brand was largely responsible for the brands popularity. They were strong and easily...

Short answer, no you can not retrofit an E14 to a non-Bosch (perhaps one other brand) powered Ebike. This is unlikely to change in the near future. The IGH KOOB referenced is the one Leili provides on the MD 1000. They told me they ordered 50 and have sold 35 MD1000's equipped with the Rolhoff...

I purchased 2 additional batteries after the initial MD 1000 purchase for the same reasons you cite. I found that with my riding style, I was only able to get 40-50 miles out of my 2 battery setup. If you order them at the time of bike purchase and they can some how ship them in the bike box or...

Cycle Monkey is just minutes away from where I live. They are a great resource in general and expert in all things Rohloff.

Are you sure it's the E14 Rohloff that Leili is supplying? My understanding is is the non-electric version Rohloff Speed Hub 14. BTW, I have the E14 on another ebike and it is a fantastic IGH but any IGH can be damaged if your not careful shifting under load. The Bafang Ultra motor makes that...

The charge port on the bike will charge both batteries. The port on the bike is like a mini xlr. When off the bike the batteries need a charger for each battery you are charging.

Bilx service responded and said I just need to push down firmly on the battery to secure the lock. Unfortunately that technique doesn't work on my Vika's. I have to use the process described above to ensure the lock is truly engaged. If I don't do that, the lock pin simply bends the receiver...

Having dealt with Yeili and other Chinese ebike manufacturers for the last 2 years, I am not surprised at the issues being encountered. The stocking of these "parts" for the recall/upgrade of a very specific serialized battery group would be based upon availability of these parts and, an...

I figured out the problem with the battery lock. The top portion of the battery receiver tray is cantilevered away from the seatpost and there is a small tab on the top of the battery receiver that has to mate to the battery. If you squeeze that cantilevered portion toward the battery while...

Yes I have but it takes a couple of days to get a reply. They changed the battery this year and I think that might be the cause of the problem. I'll be sure to post when/if it is resolved. BTW, I still like the bikes and will work on my own fix if Blix doesn't come up with something.

There is one potentially serious issue with the battery lock on the Vika +. The lock simply will not lock the battery onto the bike. Both of our bikes have dropped batteries when riding and the batteries were locked. Once the battery slips out of the receiver, the bike of course losses all power...

I had a couple of issues (bent brake rotor and loose tail light) with the bikes and Blix sent me the replacement parts post haste. There are two things I did that I feel are nice upgrades. I added these Hydraulic Brake Calipers to improve the braking performance and this Suntour suspension seat...

FTH Power is getting the batteries upgraded now. I sent my batteries in as soon as I received the email and they have been returned to me, I sold the bike last week and have sent the batteries on to the new owner. He has been riding it sans motor and I think he will be impressed with the...

Well done KOOB, you obviously have some skills but a "don't try this at home" admonition is in order. My E14 seems too good to be true but your comments are giving me more confidence that I may, with proper maintenance (regular oil changes) see good to excellent longevity from this drivetrain...

So you retrofit a Rohloff 14 to the MD 1000? I wonder if anyone has ordered the MD 1000 with the Rohloff 14 from Leili? I have the Rohloff E14 on my current bike and it is indeed "amazing" but it is an electronic shifter that is fully integrated with a smallish Bosch mid-drive motor (75Nm) that...

I have a Delite GX extreme rohloff HS 54 cm (2.8" tires). I'm 6'5" (1.98M) and like near full extension of my legs when riding. I have the factory Dropper Post and it is at max extension and it's main function is to assist in on/off the bike maneuvers. With my 37" inseam legs the standover...

26 X 4" tube is fine.
