    Aostirmotor full suspension on Amazon

    I was just informed by Ecotric my original battery is no longer available. Both my batteries have "failed" in under 2 years. I mean I can get about 15mi out of one in pas 1/2 no throttle and double that on the other because I think the BMS is shutting it down intermittently. Ecotric has been...

    mid drives are not for everyone/throttles are fine

    Love my hub drive, throttle, sub $1k etc. Really glad I also have interests other than eBikes (: I also think this is a pretty opinionated but mannered group, relative to other forums. There is zero downside for getting more older folk outside doing something , on mid-drives, hub, with or...

    Is anyone trying to solve charging on the road?

    Non removable? Guess that pretty much guarantees that company gets a one time sale. (: The speed a which battery tech is moving makes the conversation of range and charging almost obsolete the moment it begins, as far as long term solutions. I am pretty satisfied with 25 to 30 miles as my...

    Motor cuts off randomly - Ripcurrent S

    Actually nothing cuts out but power. No error codes , nada, screen doesnt even flicker. And like I mentioned its no more than 10 to 20 seconds. Also its not an ocellating thing, it's just off...then on. One of the reasons I went with a sub $1000 eBike were for moments like this. I can upgrade...

    Motor cuts off randomly - Ripcurrent S

    Hopefully its my battery. I have a spare that I need to charge up. Actually Im using the spare because I misplaced the key to my main( I found it) I did order a controller from Ecotric to have on-hand. My wife and I have been section riding the Mickleson everytime we go out there. Plan on doing...

    Motor cuts off randomly - Ripcurrent S

    Glad you got it sorted out. My brake cut offs are disconnected at the brake levers. I may need to unplug the sensors at the controller. Like yours it acts like a loose connection not like a battery or controller.

    Motor cuts off randomly - Ripcurrent S

    Curious, did you resolve the issue? I'm having the same issue on my 26 fattie. I keep thinking PAS sensor on crank because it happens when I stop peddling. It's more annoying than anything and has been occuring for at least the last 500mi.

    Carrying photography gear on a ride

    My wife always carries her Canon Powershot 60 hs. Shes been worried about bringing her Nikons. I am looking at a trailer and Pelican case set up she may feel comfy with. Its not like she will be single tracking, mostly gravel and fire roads where her beloved birds gather.

    Custom built board track racer

    Absolutly beautiful ❤️. Forget its a tribute to what was once the most popular sport in the country the look, to me, still holds up to todays concept of stylistic. Bravo!

    How I Swapped out my Ecotric 20" fatbike 810LED and controller.

    I got the controller from ecotric, my original had failed. I simply did a plug and play. I offered a display upgrade to my wife and she declined, go figure (:

    How I Swapped out my Ecotric 20" fatbike 810LED and controller.

    No they didn't far as I can tell. Both had female connectors. Sure was easier putting the controller and wires back in the stock under pedal compartment. I included a photo

    How I Swapped out my Ecotric 20" fatbike 810LED and controller.

    Ecotric Dolphin. Just installed the new controller, smaller in physical size ( no spec info on unit) and had two unused grey wires. Anyway, Ecotric, as I mentioned, helped me fix the problem. I recomend their product and company if anyone is considering a folder.

    How I Swapped out my Ecotric 20" fatbike 810LED and controller.

    As it turns out it was not brake sensors. Ecotric , without hesitation , sent me a new controller. I consider that pretty nice of them, let alone it's great customer service.

    rail trails across USA

    I'd try some section rides on the Katy. You would get some great stretches I would think. I often use YouTube to preview rail trails. Seems like people love to video their rides. Keep an eye on temps after labor day if heading west. Our experience in late June in Taos area, was crazy wind. A...

    Ecotric 20" fat tire folder ( dolphin step through)

    Ok quick update,if anyone is reading this. Sandy @ Ecotric has spent time today helping me sort out our Dolphin. We are pretty sure we narrowed it down. I am not surprised that Ecotric and Sandy replied and worked with me on this. For those looking for sub $1000 folders....I say Ecotric will be...

    Ecotric 20" fat tire folder ( dolphin step through)

    So my wife's Dolphin quit working 2 days ago. It has all the symptoms of a brake sensor failure ( everything lights up on PAS controller (A10) but nothing works, throttle, pas, walk mode). I notified Ecotric by email, looked at the YouTube and disconnected my brake sensors at the controller. I...

    How I Swapped out my Ecotric 20" fatbike 810LED and controller.

    Thanks Harry. I have some dexterity issues so splicing is out of the question. I would do a 25amp with the plastic case ..based on your concerns with water tightness on the 20 folders in a post long ago. Anyway, it might be brake sensors and will deal with those in the morning, disconnecting...

    How I Swapped out my Ecotric 20" fatbike 810LED and controller.

    Is it not possible to replace all components forward of the motor input wire and elieviate and connectors , splicing etc? If so is there a total unit, (kit) with controller you can suggest?
