    Helmet lights

    Thanks for all of the suggestions. I ended up seeing a Light and Motion Vis 360 on sale at REI and pulled the trigger. Newer versions are brighter, but for a helmet light, i am ok with it being less than a blinding weapon.

    Helmet lights

    I have been riding at night and have a good set of bike-mounts lights from Cygolite, but there are a lot of skunks, and I hit some trails that are very dark and have some curves, so I am looking to get a helmet mounted light. I am amazed how expensive some of them are. I am looking for...

    voltage question - battery vs. motor

    In doing some research online, I am confused and I have a fundamental question on ebike technology. This specifically refers to dependencies between battery, controller, and motors and the voltages they claim to support. I have an old eMoto that started off with what I believe was a dead...

    Battery replacement for eMoto

    Well... I ordered some parts from China and will be starting an adventure since I don't really know what I am doing. I got a new controller, LCD meter, PAS sensor, brakes and throttle. Basically the only thing I won't have replaced is the hub motor. All for just under $100 with about half of...

    Battery replacement for eMoto

    I did find a battery on ebay. I had a little trouble figuring out that it included parts that are intended to replace where the battery meets the bike. It didn't work at first, but I saw a lot of comments on batteries on ebays for these bikes mention the polarity. Once I figured out the...

    Battery replacement for eMoto

    Thanks. I've checked out both. For silver fish cases, I saw one that didn't have connections in the bottom. How hard is it to get those and add in if necessary? It was purchased for a bike with a cable connection from the top.

    EMoto rebuild?

    My old eMoto Ridge battery died, and 24v batteries are getting harder to find. How hard would it be to upgrade just the power train?

    Used e-moto ridge 4.5 now, or Izip e3 path+ much later?

    Wow... Forgot about this thread. The battery on this thing finally died. Now debating what to do. My commute has changed to 3 miles to the train station each way. This means I go more often, but out on less miles. I did have a mirror stolen off of the bike at the station so I am a little...

    Battery replacement for eMoto

    My eMoto battery appears to have died. I am wondering what my options are since they are out of business. I am in Chicago area if that matters.

    cool weather gear

    I just had a chilly ride this morning and was thinking it might be time to get prepared for what is coming. My main need is gloves. I saw some Pearl Izumi lobster gloves which seem to get good reviews. https://www.rei.com/product/884860/pearl-izumi-pro-amfib-insulated-lobster-gloves I was...

    What shoes do you wear...

    I just got some Keen Targhee IIs based on this post. I went with the Targhees instead of the the Voyagers as I sometimes get caught riding home in the rain and the Targhees are waterproof. I added reflective LineLock laces which are similar to the laces on Keen sandals. Great combination!

    Handlebar bike mirrors?

    I just bought my second one. Apparently someone else liked it enough to steal it while my bike was at the train station.
