    Shanghai Aijiu Energy Technology 3rd battery on the way

    That's great to know, Tom. This site is so filled of Non-Responsive, After-The-Sale-Is-Made, Sellers of Ebikes and Ebike gear, that it is a rare, but very nice to read time when one of the sole, proactive sellers, comes through again for their customer. From what I've read here, @Jenny Mao...

    Our Rides in Words, Photos & Videos

    In 1977, fresh out of USCG boot camp, I reported to my CG cutter based in Atlantic Beach, NC, which was south of Cape Hatteras and Cape Lookout, NC. The Coast Guard, for the most part; likes to send people native from the area to the nearby operational stations and cutters in that area. Think...

    Rad law suit

    No problem. Though I must say, the parent's have enough suffering and guilt that will be with them til the day they die. No need to compound their anguish. Regards to the front fork, I come away surprised that in this day and age, that anyone would manufacture a fork with vertical dropouts...

    Suggestions for off-road headlight?

    Ant, Loctite, the blue type will lock those bolt threads in place. Do not get the red loctite.....that requires torch heat to break the bond.

    Suggestions for off-road headlight?

    It's a German designed and made Schmidt Edelux II. It uses the Busch & Muller lens reflectors and other features that make it comply with strict German bicycle lighting laws. Has the top beam cut-off just as in modern day automotive light beams. It was just aimed in a particular angle that...

    Suggestions for off-road headlight?

    Pretty sure my dyno-powered Edelux II, with it's 100 lux (whatever that equals to in lumens) is not as powerful as some of these mentioned lights. But an interesting point: in recent months, I've had two, older folks complain about my headlight as I passed them on my local bike/walking trail...

    My battery died of heatstroke 😥😭

    My condolences! As @tomjasz suggested, Hi-C shows they can possibly, possibly rebuild your BH battery. Here's the link, in case some other BH owner needs their battery repaired: https://www.hicbattery.com/EBike-Battery-Rebuild-Services_c_17.html Right now, looking at the HiC site, not really...

    BH bike truck load at Lenny's. Anyone else catch this on their Instagram?

    Paul, regards to Haibike, you pretty much have it. The parent German Haibike division was bought by a US consortium: https://www.pinkbike.com/news/owner-of-lapierre-ghost-haibike-and-more-bought-in-156-billion-deal.html Haibike USA is their own entity, independent of Haibike. They were without...

    Newb, debating ebike options for hills, trails

    Welcome! That picture reminds me that the weapon needed is either a high quality, mid-drive dual suspension fatbike or a 29 inch, near 3 inch wide tired dual suspension e-mtb. But even with that, you will still be getting of it and walking through some tricky areas. Tire pressures will also...

    BH bike truck load at Lenny's. Anyone else catch this on their Instagram?

    Thanks, Paul! :) I had a chance to look at an EBR member's CL purchased, BH full suspension Rebel, powered by the Yamaha PW-X drive. I came away thinking the BH was every bit a quality built and specced ebike as the Haibike was. So I totally get the enthusiasm BH owners have for their ebikes...

    Hit 2000 miles today.

    Park Tools on youtube has a video about properly sizing up your chain. I don't have the link to post here, but they are pretty much my go-to/git er dun video source for home repairing my ebike.

    BH bike truck load at Lenny's. Anyone else catch this on their Instagram?

    Yeah, I read the other posts. The only one of them all mentioning a 20 mph cut off is you. Not the email I got from CL this afternoon about this sale. Not on his facebook page. Not the screen shot earlier in this thread. (my sincere apologies-I don't have instagram) That's cool, though, if you...

    Hit 2000 miles today.

    Congrats, @dodgeman! Every thousand mile increment is a milestone to celebrate, wherever you might be when the odo clicks over. Then, it's onto the next thousand. After awhile, you start thinking of some of the more memorable rides you've been on in between thousand mile roll-overs. Soon...

    Getting What You Need From a Cycling GPS

    I've no clue as to what Strava, strava live segments or climbpro is.......but this I did stumble upon in a little research between the 530 and 830: The 530 is accessed by buttons on the side while the 830 uses the touch screen. More important to me is that the 830's mapping has the ability to...

    BH bike truck load at Lenny's. Anyone else catch this on their Instagram?

    The problem here is that Lenny's as of this writing, 4 days after making their availability of these bikes on Facebook, known, still has not published just what bikes they have arriving; bike model name, sizes or prices. I don't know what is so hard for them to put this info on their facebook...

    BH bike truck load at Lenny's. Anyone else catch this on their Instagram?

    I take that back. It's more likely a Dapu mid drive motor. Follow this link to see what a member here had to do to repair an internal drive gear within his BH motor: https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/which-motor-do-i-have-please.31767/

    BH bike truck load at Lenny's. Anyone else catch this on their Instagram?

    I just found that Lenny's email in my junk folder. Tempting. That full suspension mtb on the right; I looked it up on their Euro site. Unlike the earlier BH which sold in the US with Yamaha PW and PWX drives, that mid drive there is possibly, a Brose mid drive. There was a person, here; a while...
