    Cursed by the E-bike gods

    The forks ends are 4.5 inches from out side to out side. The perspective is bad, but again, pretty sure they sent the wrong wheal, because there are no other parts. Edit: Quadruple checked, there is no way to make the parts I have connect the wheel to the fork. Some one made a mistake, it...

    Cursed by the E-bike gods

    yes, it's the right size, but the axle is not, unless I'm missing something? I don't see anyway to make what I have work. I think they just packed the wrong front tire at the factory. The first image I posted is deceiving, the axle looks bigger than it is. There is no conceivable way to seat the...

    Cursed by the E-bike gods

    Here is the thing, I'm good people, but I'm so poor I'm po; can't afford the extra o and r. From what I understand, Vivi is pretty good with stuff like this, so they may send a replacement sooner, or I may luck out at the bike shop tomorrow. All I can do is hope. If money were no object I would...

    Cursed by the E-bike gods

    Thanks, battery is charged, tires are good, 95% assembled. I suppose if something was going to go wrong, a poor factory worker in China making a mistake like this, isn't so bad.

    Cursed by the E-bike gods

    Well, my Vivi C26 came today and everything is good except for one little problem.... front axle bolt too short by about an inch.... Heading out to local bike shop tomorrow because I don't want to wait 30 days for a stupid axle. Anyway, I'll post pics as soon as I get the the thing assembled.

    Do we have a Franken bike thread?

    Thats pretty cool. I was chased by someone on a gas powered razor scooter decades ago. Dude was driving in the middle of a back road doing 20 in a 55 zone. I was so angry, god forgive me, I did it safely, but I cut the guy off cause I was already late and he was purposely messing with me. How do...

    Ali Express deals

    Sadly I got scammed on aliexpress by the same scammers who were briefly on Amazon. There are legit sellers on both, but as others have said, make sure the seller has several reviews and actual pics from customers. That goes for amazon too. Got my money back and getting my bike via fed ex...

    eBay (UK) to ban private e-bike sales over fire fears

    Maybe because batteries are being built domestically in home countries now. They just built a new battery plant for evs about an hour from where I live. Also, I have to believe you guys have battery stores? Again there is a retail battery store about an hour away from where I live that can...

    Those both look like they would be fun to ride. I built a gas powered bike when it was less expensive than an electric build. She was a beauty. Started out as hybrid commuter. Nothing funnier than some one walking up to you and asking what kind of enduro is that and answering, "a Schwinn." Some...

    Disabled guy here. Unfortunately, Karens and Carls have abused the ada as badly as people with "service" animals that aren't canines(no shade to those with an emotional support animal of any species). Every Leo in my state including park rangers know the federal and state laws on ebikes and how...

    Advise needed on first time purchaser

    48 male, 2 spine surgeries, 2 shoulder surgeries, survivor of chronic pain, still in pain. Just my two cents.... No. Certainly if you can, go test ride first. Don't ignore the pain my man. It's only going to get worse. Mountain biking on the hills probably not for you anymore. Just my two...

    Buying a House Advice Thread

    Ex real estate guy here. Always use a realtor. They do more than you think on the legal and closing side of things. Having said that, never trust a realtor wit suggested listings. I knew guys who would throw potential listings in the garbage that might have been perfect for the buyer, but...
