    The solution to range anxiety

    Oh please...I refer to a gas powered generator which would be in keeping with the spirit of this....thing. But you know...an alternator driven off the big wheel pulley into a 120 VAC inverter ....to power a charger... Nah...that would be silly.

    The solution to range anxiety

    Right..well..he does add this to his CL listing..."It is ready to ride as with all bikes it is advised to check out components before each ride and am not responsible for accidents occurring from it's use. " Which I have to say is verbiage I've never before seen in a Bike listing. Further -...

    Need help with the C6 Controller

    Yes - thanks! That confirms my suspicion that it requires entry of password mode to make selections. That's not clear from the manual. Update: Got in with Password and was able to make the changes I desired. Thanks to all and Happy Trails!

    Need help with the C6 Controller

    I need help setting the power levels. I want to try riding in ECO Mode as I'm finding Power Mode to be too aggressive in many situations. When riding as is it seems like all three levels are checked. Power ECO and Normal. I've downloaded the manual from Magnum's Site but it's not very helpful...

    Magnum 2019 vs 2018 Premium bike

    Having watched the interbike 2018 video on YouTube in which Magnum addressed all sorts of new things I contacted them because I was shopping for a cruiser. In the video they said the 2019s would have a 750 watt motor whereas current models are 500. Well they were sort of nebulous and vague about...

    Magnum Bikes Canada

    Well I think a lot of that is put out there to gauge interest. You don't want to start coming out with a lot of expensive changes if the dealer network doesn't jump up for it. Total Vapor ware I think is something different. and I can only comment on my local dealer here in Denver but they are...

    Magnum Bikes Canada

    Having watched the September 2018 interbike video on YouTube I felt compelled to check in with Magnum about the 2019 upgrades they spoke of for the cruiser. Particularly the 750 watt motor they referred to since I was on the verge of buying one. Well their response was kind of a lot of abada...

    How do you plan to fix a roadside flat?

    Well that was my reason for posting the original question. As I went out for my first ride I thought about what I would do if I had a flat not as easy as the old days of cheap bikes you could just flip upside down

    How do you plan to fix a roadside flat?

    This could be a use case for big drones that can lift 100 pounds : as I read this it reminded me of the scene from Flight of the Phoenix where they only have one cartridge left to start the engine

    Affordable class 3 ebikes?

    My Magnum Cruiser came with a class 3 sticker on it. 20 seems to be top end fot power assist only but as I understand it one can hack that through the controller. That said for me and the type of riding I do it's certainly fast enough. MSRP on the cruiser is 2099 but mine came in less out the door.

    Here's a good one: "Selling my Hylander dual-suspension Fat Tire bike. Retails $1,899 but I will sell for $950 considering it needs both battery and charger. Other than that the bike runs great! Has real time GPS and goes up to 45mph! " So....no battery..no charger...runs great! (He just...

    Show us pictures of where you ride your ebikes!

    I actually think this forum section should be titled... "Things I'd never have seen if I hadn't been on my E-Bike." I live in Littleton Colorado. Had a pleasant ride along the South Platte paths this afternoon. It struck me that there are so many things I'd never have seen if I hadn't been on...

    From the Craigslist Used E-Bike Files

    My first stop when looking into something new is CL. I've always done well there. When it came to E-Bikes though there wasn't much and what was there were much like this. Not that kitting your bike isn't a fun thing to do but they weren't a good value when offered for sale.
