    BBSHD Controller Burnt Out?

    When most electronics burn up, they smell. If you can't smell anything when you put it up to your nose. Good chance it's not burnt. But not 100%

    Misleading Motor Information

    Size of motor has little to do with it. A motor the size of a walnut can produce 750 watts. The torque is what gets you up the hill. Bolton came up with a bigger version of a 750 watt motor which gave you more torque over the smaller one. Nobody is deceiving anyone. There just isn't a reliable...

    mid drives are not for everyone/throttles are fine

    Why should the big 3 offer no throttle? They will loose sales to many. My bike didn't come with a throttle, it was an add on option by Raleigh. I think that is a perfect way to go so your not stuck getting a throttle you don't want.

    mid drives are not for everyone/throttles are fine

    I knew I wanted a throttle but saw the throttle debates and decided not to ask. I did my own searching and liked the Raleigh retroglide with throttle. I bought the bike and love it. I don't like that it only goes 20 mph only so my next bike will be a class 3 with throttle. That really limits...

    E-Bikes in Japan - just a little article

    It seems EBR has members from all over the world except Japan. I'm surprised we don't see any Japaneses members chiming in on whats really going on over there.

    What Do You Do During The Lockdown?

    We don't have any lock down here in Las Vegas other than gyms and some casino/ restaurants closing down. Most big casinos are still open but I don't know how busy they are. Went for a ride Sunday as it was 68 F here. Decided it's a good time to finish a jet I have been working on. Another week...

    What are the current Torque-monster model bikes? (March, 2020)

    I noticed in the Greyp video he rode the more powerful bike using throttle most of the time instead of trying to use his pedals like the mountain bike guy did. Are the pedals pegs?

    review of my wattwagon full suspension bike

    Most men would have that seat level to maybe even a little down. But your female so makes sense to me why you like it like that. We all do what works for our bodies:)

    Frustrated and need help with battery shipping

    I ship lipos almost everyday. I would never ship and be responsible for someone else used battery pack. When a customer gets a bad battery from me, I never ask them to ship it back.

    Suspension seat post - Kinekt

    Had to do with leaning forward to much and nothing to do with the seat post. But I did raise my seat when I got mine so that is why I needed to raise my bars.

    Suspension seat post - Kinekt

    I have the NCX seatpost and going from nothing to this, it's been great. Highly recommend them if your on a budget. I have no doubts the Kinect is better at picking up the smaller bumps. But I too had neck and back pain at first. The fix was raising my handlebars so I wasn't leaning forward as much.

    Why aren't there quick chargers for ebike?

    The problem I see is the cheap chargers just don't last as long. They may be fine for not causing fires, maybe, but why buy a cheap charger and possible have it die right before a ride. I don't like buying twice. I paid a lot of money for my bike and don't like going cheap on important...

    Why aren't there quick chargers for ebike?

    Ravi Over in the RC world a German student did a good article on lithium batteries. Do you see anything wrong with what they are saying here. He talks about the packs needing to be warm if you want to charge at a higher level. It's a long read but I would like your expert opinion on this...

    Why aren't there quick chargers for ebike?

    The grin charger is the best we have for the amp rating it does. Bosh and others are slowly coming out with higher amp chargers. None are cheap though but there is a reason for that. Quality components are costly and considering what a fire can do to your home, I don't want to risk saving money...

    Why aren't there quick chargers for ebike?

    Because of the garbage chargers that customers have bought from them that turned out bad. Not saying they will all be bad but I wont recommend them unless there supported in the US. Lipo fires are real and no sense in rolling the dice on cheap crap. Just my thoughts on the matter.
