    Can e-bike batteries be charged with solar panels?

    It is a complex question. Generally speaking I would say no. But, if you're willing to spend some money and deal with large size panels, it's possible. Most solar panels only put out under 20v, on a very bright sunny day that is, as they are designed to charge 12v batteries. Panels are...

    My fat tire bike stand from Bikehand.

    So happy with bike stand. I have little space to park my Téo Fat Bike and was looking for a way to park it - vertical as much as possible. Well I got it. The Bikehand stand, fat tire version. $45 USD from Amazon. Love it and it is very, very stable. Better on the rear wheel, but works well...

    Maybe the Red ones are faster?!

    I knew those mountains in BC had more purpose. ;) Ontario is much flatter, we can't reach those speeds. That's OK with me. Not sure the Kendas Jugs can handle these speeds... Next time get a Test Dummy to ride instead. :confused:

    My Téo S Limited. Typical e-bike with fat tires, built with good components. Love it.

    Just came back from a 79.2km ride. Wow.

    Helmet came that way. Very comfortable. Love it. The trail along Lake Ontario, a tiny part of the Trans Canada Trail, is so much fun, the views are spectacular. Gee I love this bike, such a pleasure, you can work as hard as you want, or not and still get around. A fantastic invention, I...

    Téo Impressions after a few rides

    Oh and thank you for that safety tip. I can see me doing same: walking the bike, moving the pedals slightly while twisting the throttle and boom! I'll make sure I'm in PA 0 when walking it.

    Téo Impressions after a few rides

    I agree - a great purchase in the affordable category. Let me help you with the fender. You are correct the screw is a tad short... It's very easy to fix. 1. Unscrew completely and remove screw. 2. Put light aside (in your case, on the floor ;)) for a 1 minute and re-insert screw, it will...

    Used Market in the Future???

    I think @rich c has the right idea. Buy for your pleasure. Assume its value will be close to nothing in used condition. It is not an investment. I look at it as a gym membership, or a golf membership. I need to exercise, I need to lose a few pounds and this is honestly the best, the only and...

    Shifting Gears with Pedal Assist

    @86 and still kicking. It is very similar in design to the Rad Rover and the Voltbike Yukon 750. Equipped with a 9-speed Shimano Alivio derailleur and shifter. So now, you've heard of them. ;)

    Shifting Gears with Pedal Assist

    I've never paid any special attention in shifting, as long as I am pedaling I either move up or down as needed. I'm always very smooth and 1 second between gears. Am pretty sure I was in some PA mode as I am always in PA. I need to get in better shape before I can use PA 0 I never use the...

    Some pics of my Téo. Went for a 70 km ride today. A blast! Soooo happy with my purchase. Love it.

    I buy all my stuff from Amazon, I just checked and it says it no longer available... It was on sale for $45 CAD. A great deal I know. Maybe Ali Express... Dunno

    Controller firmware update?

    Just curious about something. In reading posts here and there from Radrover users, a model similar to our Téo, many talk about new firmware updates to improve or fix issues. The LCD on that model has a USB port, probably to perform those updates. I'm wondering if Téo has provisioned for such...

    Teo owners, have you checked your bikes speedo vs GPS?

    Glad you ask. I did check and mine was right on. It would show the same. I have the Kenda original tires.
