    Why aren't there quick chargers for ebike?

    The satiator does pretty good at 8 amps but BMS systems can cut that down to 5 amps. So whats the point if your system can't take it. I've said before many times the packs can take a higher charge than whats being done. I'm sure price has something to do with it also as a higher amp chargers...

    Maxed out on PAS 3

    Sounds to me like you might have a bad battery. Also a cold battery will suffer and have less power and range. Not sure that's whats happening here but it really sounds like a dud battery to me.

    I am thinking of buying a Trek Verve + ?

    My wife has a Raleigh bike with the Bosh active line + motor and it will easily climb any hill with her or me on it. Saying it's weak is like saying my 750 Honda feels stronger than your 250 Yamaha. Yes it's a weaker motor than the CX. So what. Not everybody needs there bike to feel like a...

    Dual Hub Ebike Batteries

    Speed will be the same technically. You will be adding torque so better hill climber. One motor can't spin faster than the other .

    New 2019 RadRover Ordered

    It's actually against the law to ship batteries fully charged. They need to be 50% or less state of charge.

    Megavalanche Haibike allmontain

    I saw in a video where the guy stated the extra weight of an ebike helped make the bike feel more planted on the downhill.

    Trump Tariffs: +25% all China bikes and Components to USA. Market disruption for sure

    Well other than Rad saying they had to raise prices, who else actually did. I import lithium batteries and I got hit too. But guess what, China wrote a lesser value on the invoice, without going crazy, and that made my tariff bill low enough that I never raised my prices to my customers. I was...

    What’s the most reliable ebike after 10,000km?

    The best bike after 10,000 km is the one that you took good care of. 12,000 km on a rad is a good case in point. In the end, pic a bike you can afford, appeals to you and tics as many boxes as possible then take care of it. There is no bike guaranteed to go the distance if you don't take care...

    alliexpress battery vs lunacycle

    I think some of these vendors like to throw out good cell specs and then use cheap fakes. The proof in the pudding for me is the power under load. Timpo felt it and I believe him. Thomas, even packs made from good cells can be crap if the builder uses too much heat when soldering so yea voltage...

    What Info are you looking for on a display???

    Count me in as one who would like a clock. I don't wear a watch anymore and pulling my phone out is a hassle as already mentioned. Plus 1 on the clock :)

    Ideas for lowering shipping cost for Frey bikes?

    It's shipping by fed ex express. That's a fast way to ship. A slower method will take longer to get to you and the chances of damage goes up. That's also a good price for the bike your getting. If you bought that bike here, it would be $5,000. and free shipping.

    Flat Tires Perspectives: an invitation

    Good post. Flats are my biggest concerns. I have the tires and tubes that came with my bike. I bought a pump and patch kit along with a spare inner tube. Now I'm thinking of getting some sealant to try and add after I get a flat and see if that seals up the flat without taking the tire off...
