Some like to drop there seat at a stop so they can touch the ground easier.

My tires are rated for 60 psi but I run mine at 35 to 40. 60 is like a rock.

Brushless motors have the potential to last forever. The only thing that wears out on a brushless motor is the bearings. Now you can burn up the motor by over amping it, or over temping it, but otherwise it should last a very long time. What wears out in our ebike motors is the gears and the...

I have a FSA 38 tooth chain ring on my Raleigh retroglide ebike with active line plus motor. I'm spinning like a hamster close to 20 mph. It has a 12-32 8 Speed cassette. I know I can add an 11-34 but wonder if I can get a 40 or 42 for the front. Any ideas? Iv'e tried searching but not sure...

I didn't think a was after speed either. 20 mph is fine around the neighborhood. But if I want to commute to my buddy's house across town, 20 mph feels slow to me. I wish I would have bought a 28 mph bike as that would work in all situations.

Ebikes are allowed anywhere that bikes are allowed in Vegas. I talked to my neighbor who is a cop and he said they have better things to do than worry about ebikes as long as there not doing something stupid.

The Aliante casino is on my end of town and is a newer hotel and close to some trails. Were 8 miles or so from down town. You can ride your bike from there and hit some nice paved trails ( the lower Las Vegas wash and upper Las Vegas wash trails) these are well taken care of paved trails and...

I live about 8 miles down the road from Red Rock on the NW side of town. There are some good trails by my house that are all paved and off the street for the most part. Here is what I used to find my trails. I ride the lower Las Vegas wash trail the most. Been waiting for the heat to cool down...

Probably more of a bad light problem. When the bars drop, does it skip past the dead one? Being right next to the first bar, how are you to tell when your at the first bar when the second bar doesn't do anything. I would ask your dealer to fix this as this is unacceptable for a new bike. I...

3.70 or 3.79 also smoking is better than flames right. :) The chance of fire is greatly reduced at lower voltage. That's why it's the law when shipping lithium.

The safety at low state of charge is why shipping regulations mandate lipo batteries be shipped at 3.75. I think Li-on are shipped even lower. If someone were to take a battery at 3.7 volts and dead shorted it, you would find it wont catch fire. It might get a little hot but most likely not...

The battery is a 36 volt one so it takes less cells. That leaves more room to parallel and why they can get the 720 wh pack to fit in the frame.

If the cells were at a low state of charge, that would make them more difficult to catch fire. I don't think there is any special cells in that car. Not yet anyway.

Guys Panasonic, Samsong, Sanyo, Sony, LG and a any others I can't think of right now all rate there cells at 1C charge rate. That's safely charged at 1C. That means a 10ah battery can safely be charged at 10 amps. Cells can get warm during charging sometimes yes, this is more so when the battery...

I find the local bike shops know all the group rides and events. I would start there. Even if there not ebike rides, most still welcome your ebike. From there you can meet like minded people.

When batteries get old and close to being done, they drop voltage as soon as a load is applied. Sounds to me like your ready for a new battery.

60 and been riding an ebike for a year. My wife just got hers 3 months ago and now we are planning trips to take our ebikes to.

Battery fires are very rare and I have yet to hear of one that was started by a charger on this forum. It would take a faulty charger to over charge a battery. If you had one, it would over charge the first time you used it. I will say it's not a bad practice to unplug your battery when it's...

I have been using Corrosion X on my electric boats for almost 20 years. I spray it on anything metal that electricity flows through. It doesn't harm any electronics and it reverses rust...

Change the gearing. A smaller front chain ring would help.
