The ebikes we're talking about come with disk brakes that dont even touch the rim so slippery "old style" mechanical brakes on steel rims wouldnt be an issue.

Yup. I can be long winded sometimes. Thats not against forum rules, is it? I guess I figure folk are free to read or not read whatever they choose and it wont hurt my feelings if someone chooses not to read my "rants" 😉. And speaking of reading, Ill let folk read the exchanges here for...

Yes, being able to fold for storage or travel is a very convenient feature for a bike. I considered getting a folding bike like your Buzz but ultimately decided that Id rarely if ever use such a feature. I dont travel at all any more and use my bike as a very economical "daily driver" because I...

Yes, I use to like pedaling more but aging has made me lazy(er) 😏 Anyway, I guess I zoned out when the fella started talking about exact watt hours and so forth but the details you quoted for how much battery was left after the Lake Tahoe ride reflects my more generalized qoute pretty much...

Hey there! What, if any ebike are you currently riding?

Another member of this forum was good enough to post a video of a fella who did both a battery capacity test on Aniioki's 48v, 60ah battery and a real world range test on the Aniioki AQ177 Ebike in general. You can find it if you look at my posts, I think. Im not great at forums so dont know how...

This is my AQ177. The rear basket is for my 30lb dog who goes everywhere with me. Ive also installed a front basket and seat with a backrest for comfort on longer rides. Heavy bike but again, it meets all my personal requirements and then some.

Your Buzz bike looks very similar to my new Ebike-the Aniioki AQ177. The AQ177 also uses 20x4 tires and an integrated battery. My Aniioki cost $1499 but most of that comes from the 48v 60ah(2880 watt hour!!!) battery. In fact that huge battery was a big part of why I'd been willing to pay $1499...

PS: Before anyone tries to call me out on a technicality; Yes, Ive had to replace the tires on my 1st ebike once or thrice as well ;) But I consider that to be reasonable maintainence for any bike or Ebike thats been ridden as much as mine has.

1st of all, thank you so much for chiming in and proving much of my rant from my original post lol! Perfect timing! Secondly, my first Ebike was(still is!) a KMart bought 21 speed mountain bike(yep, thats how long ago Im talkin. Kmart was still around). I added a no-name, 36v 350 watt rear wheel...

Enjoyed your post. Thanks for sharing. Im just surprised your post hasnt been jumped on by a couple of the ebike "purists" that haunt this forum and who tend to pop up and criticize whenever somebody states that they are looking at "cheap chinese" ebikes or already have one that they are happy...

You bring up a great point that not everyone is a "cycling" enthusiast. Im certainly not. I wanted more of an "Emoped" that offered more comfort & range than most Ebikes do because I would use it for my primary mode of local transportation(and not a cross country training trip). The AQ177 gives...

Thanks for that! Awesome demonstration and battery check. Seems like Aniioki is doing its best to be an honest/quality ebike manufacturer. Not everything from China is junk and not every Chinese seller is trying to scam someone. You do have to be careful but Id say that about any product and...

Like I said. Pretty boring pic. The two 24v 200 watt panels connected in parallel that power the charger are on the other side of the wall.

Again, back to the point of us all having different needs; Im 60yrs old, my friend. Im in perty dang good shape for my age(or compared to most folk in this country who are half my age) but I dont go "off roading". Not interested in it in the least. In fact, the 1st thing I did to my AQ177 was...

Thanks for the reply and advice but not everyone shares your needs or desires in an "ebike". In fact, that was a very large part of the point I was trying to make in my initial reply to the long gone OP lol! The AQ177a is literally EXACTLY what I wanted and had been looking for. Ive now owned...

Again, I know this is a really old post but in the hopes that someone can answer, Ill post my question; Why are two charge controllers required for this set up? A single controller with appropriate ratings should easily suffice. Im sure the fella probly had/has his reasons. Im just curious to...

Hope i didnt sound like I was putting down any of your posts. The technique using a boost charge controller to directly charge a battery using a solar panel thats voltage rating is less than the battery is well established and broadly used. In fact, such charging forms the very basis of how any...
