    Limitations on Riding Uphill

    This upgrade will give you extra power for the hills but at the expense of draining your battery faster. (Link Removed - No Longer Exists)

    Glad you got it figured out. 5 years is old for a battery.

    Why I won't buy another Rad Power bike (aka support your local bike shop)

    It's funny but the guy from Bolton bikes does the best how to videos and some are related to RPB. I think businesses can learn from his videos from a how to make a video stand point.

    New buyer, little to no knowledge

    I think the Aventon Pace 500 or 350 is a great bike for the money. Your budget doesn't allow for the best stuff so this is a good bike for the money.

    Charger gets very hot while charging. Concerned?

    It's quite normal for chargers to get a little hot. Thats why some come with fans

    CONTROLLER

    Wow decent batteries start around $400. So seeing a $200. one makes me think it's very cheap cells that wont power you very good up a hill or have very good cycle life. .

    It sure sounds like it could be the battery. When the cells go bad, the voltage drops when you add the load. The pack will appear to charge up but only to drop voltage when pushed under a load.

    Why I won't buy another Rad Power bike (aka support your local bike shop)

    Raleigh doesn't cover the labor for warranty work. Just the parts. Pretty standard affair.

    Lower back pain and bikes

    Thanks, i think we will give the Bodyfloat a shot. My wife absolutely loves her ebike and we are already planing bike trips to other states and areas. That's why she was a little concerned about the sore back. We did read that you need to strengthen your core muscles so we are going to start...

    Why I won't buy another Rad Power bike (aka support your local bike shop)

    I got 2 Raleigh beach cruisers and choose to get them from my local bike shop. I could have save $200. on each bike by going direct. But, the bike shop will give me 2 free tuneups. $100. value The first one a basic and the second a full one. They also built the bikes and adjusted them. Another...

    And yet they sell a charger that goes to 8 amps to anybody that wants to buy it, juice even sells it for all there bikes. Where's the BMS you talk about Thomas that can't be charged to 8 amps. Why does Luna sell a higher amp charger, if it can't be done because your going to fry your BMS...

    Lower back pain and bikes

    So i have a Raleigh Retroglide beach style cruiser and I like it a lot. I like the upright riding position. In order to get an even more upright position, I raised my bars and lowered my sit a little from where I was riding. Now my lower back hurts and it never did before. I also did this to my...

    Timpo Say a cell is rated at 2500 mah. At 1c that is a 2.5 amp charge rate. Now parallel 4 of these and you get a 10 amp charge rate. 15 amps at 6 in parallel. So your chargers that do 2 or 4 amps are well under 1c charge rate. I wouldn't have a problem charging my 10ah battery at 8 amps as...

    Looking for a workout mountain e-bike that allows you to quickly disable all assistance as needed (without turning it off off) Zero gear below Eco.

    My wife just got the Raleigh retroglide royal and the Bosch system doesn't drag at all in 0 assist.

    Need EFlow battery BMS

    I agree with Thomas. A 4 year old battery is close to it's useful stage. The cells will always show voltage but that doesn't mean there still good. As soon as a load is applied the voltage will drop which is what happens to tired cells.

    Trike short list and why...

    At least with Amazon you have a direct route for returns or refunds if the bike is damaged when you get it. They also play middle man when dealing with the vendor.

    1C is the safe rate for lithium Ion. Higher than 1C is where it gets fuzzy. I would not worry about going up to 1C as far as charging goes. We use up to 5c with hobby lipos all the time with no problems.

    Anyone have any updated info on Bionx company?

    The fact that you can't find any info tells me all I need to know. Doesn't mean it's a bad bike and Bionx was known for having a good product but until they come out with a press release, I'm not buying.
