    Opinions on the best compromise?..(lightweight small manageable folding ebike)

    Then look nowhere else ,this is lightest ebike folding bike on the market @ 250watt , It's pricey but probably one of the lightest best built folding ebikes on the planet. You can upgrade the tires at checkout if needed. https://hummingbirdbike.com/products/electric

    Are mid drives just naturally less zippy than hub motors?

    Here what I tested. A mid-drive bike. It sure felt zippy to me. I can shift super fast. I didn't have a gear shift sensor which cut power to the motor. I took this to a bike shop which had all sorts of bike varieties , hubs , bosch mids , front hubs , normal bikes , custom this and that and the...

    Local Bike Shops and upgrade or repairs to Internet purchased EBikes

    I brought my bike in they loved it , they actually took the time to find me a new chain ring and dialed in the chain from not slipping under torque. They modified a purpose built lekkie chain ring for BBSHD to fit a BBS02 , they bored out the center and added new screw holes. Pretty much way...

    Stromer ST1 charger, can it be repaired?

    After seeing some nasty battery fires , not sure I'd want to risk repairing a charger unless the tech was qualified. Maybe sell them for parts on EBAY and get a new one. High quality cells and safe chargers are a must for me.

    Opinions on the best compromise?..(lightweight small manageable folding ebike)

    My bike weighed 35lbs/15kg. I could probably make it a little lighter with non steel cranks , a cambium seat and a carbon handlebar. Maybe shave 2lbs? The pedals could be lighter as well. Top Speed 36mph throttle only on a pure flat road and climbs hills like a goat. I live in nothing but hills...

    No worries you should see the mid-drive vs. rear hub motor thread I was 8 beers in on that thread acting like a lunatic. I think the MODs deleted all the rage posts.

    I think your sarcasm meter is broken. It was a little house I found on a ride.

    There was a really nice surly big easy cargo mid drive on craigslist recently. I was temped to snag it. They wanted about $3k for it.

    I hit a horse

    Visibility at least in the video looked low and the horse appeared to be a black color. Sad day indeed. You can replace a car but not the horse.

    Fat man bike; long time rider, but not ebikes

    Yeah same I live in Asheville , NC mountains. Lots of super steep inclines. I need to measure the hill behind my house I believes it's pretty close to 30 or 40 grade. I blew out my Lowes John Deere riding mower transmission after 7 years. Installed a tractor transmission in it a K66. Now this...

    Fat man bike; long time rider, but not ebikes

    Good thing about the BBSHD is you can dial it back. Leave it on assist 1-3 and when you're feeling like you want some more power crank it up for a steep hill and its a really tough motor. Perhaps find an EBIKE dealer near you and try some out? Maybe something will click.

    Kinekt 50° Comfort Stem vs. Redshift 30° ShockStop Suspension Stem

    I've owned both as well testing them on my bike. I prefer the Kinekt 30 degree high rise system. I used the stiffest spring and added the optional damping plug. The added plug fits inside the provided spring/s. You don't have the feeling of bottoming out. The nice thing with the Kinekt system is...
