Interesting... I'm glad you were alright @hughresearch! I've heard of ebike battery fires, and I personally have been shocked by some electronics before (never ebikes specifically). Sounds like you found a solution and are off to ride some more! Good stuff :D

Hey @KidSess, welcome to the forums and ebikes! I grew up with a simple one speed Huffy and eventually got a hardtail mountain bike. Ebikes were pretty complex when I discovered them, but I've gained some knowledge now and will try to answer your questions: Extreme cold could have two...

That's an excellent answer @theemartymac!

Sounds like a fun project! I don't have any experience tuning Yamaha, but have noticed that many new Bosch ebikes moved the sensor and magnet closer to the rear dropout (mounting the magnet in the disc brake rotor) which seems like it would limit some of the older designs. I wonder if Yamaha is...

Wow, that's a lot of choices! Pretty awesome setup @pushkar! I hope you don't make it so complicated that you can't make money. I'm very excited to check out your bike eventually :D

Hey @Banderboy, I agree with @fooferdoggie that you may have gotten a seat post that is a tad too small (better than too large though!) I try to always include seat post diameter in my reviews, but sometimes models change a bit throughout the year... so your situation is not uncommon. Try...

Good question, @Asher, I've wondered the same thing. I noticed that Giant and Trek/Electra each introduced an affordable model to their lines in 2020 that use semi-generic hub motors and rear rack battery setups. Here's the Townie Go! 7D review I did for Electra that shows it. There's a lot to...

Happy holiday everyone! I hope you found a great deal, if you were in the market for a new bike or some accessories. I'm going to unpin this now, but I'll create another tread for Black Friday Cyber Monday in 2021 and do the same sort of thing. Thanks to everyone who contributed and the...

Hi guys! Every year, companies have these special Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals... Some companies have approached me with affiliate links and stuff, but I'd like to be neutral and as inclusive as possible. Please share whatever you find (whether you're an individual or company) by...

I ride no-handed all the time in reviews... while filming, to demonstrate stability of the bike in question. I turn by applying pressure to the nose of the saddle and leaning with my body weight. I don't want to see anyone get hurt, but even riding a bicycle could be considered dangerous or a...

Hi @smorgasbord, I had a professional shop look over the bike with me before doing the review. I think everything was setup as it should be, without over-tightening which could stifle suspension movement. I may still have access to the bike, but am on a work trip with my girlfriend right now so...

Hi guys, I recently finished the 2020/2021 Biktrix Juggernaut Ultra FS review and Roshan sent me some photos of their rack and fender setup. I used these as overlays in the video review, but wanted to share them again here in case anyone was considering them. Apparently the front fender was...

Hey guys! Yeah @smorgasbord I agree. To me the play or "flex" as I am used to calling it, seems to be originating at the joints. When I use the phrase "rear swing arm" I'm not being as exact and detailed as I could be... and I might have just been sloppy because I'm so used to saying "frame...

Hey @Deacon Blues, this same thing happened to me seven years ago when living in Austin. I got into some heavy rain and the display fogged up. It didn't stop working, but it caused me to start putting a plastic bag over the display when parking. I would take it off and let things air out each...

Man, that's rough... Sorry to hear about your lost bike. You too @indianajo, sounds like you're keeping a good mindset, but losing artwork or something like a bike that you have setup perfectly and enjoy using is inconvenient, frustrating, and unsettling. I'm so sorry :(

Great timing @FlatSix911! I just finished covering the Element as well, here's my review with more specs and stuff: https://electricbikereview.com/pedego/element/

Oh my goodness @Fullhouse Gaming you just made my day :P awesome, thanks! Here are some of the images that were shared by others :P

Hi guys, I'm finishing a review of the RadRunner Plus and was told that some people who own this ebike will purchase the console bucket thing and put a pad or towel at the bottom for their pets to ride along! That's awesome... I'd love to include some pictures of this in my review, with...
