    New LMT’d - who’s in?

    I ordered my LMT'D yesterday. Used my Discover card through Paypal and hopefully will get the 5% cash back up to $75.00 on the purchase. I have an EGlide ST I purchased in March 2017 that I have put about 7000 miles on with almost no problems. I upgraded the original 11.6 Amp battery to a 17.5...

    Review: New LMT'D - new owner's perspective

    There is a review of the LMT'D on Youtube with the Cafe style handlebars. I asked the reviewer how he liked them and he responded they were very comfortable.

    Review: New LMT'D - new owner's perspective

    Here are some alternatives to taking the wheel off. I usually try to repair the leak while the tire is still on the bike if possible. https://gaadi.de/?page_id=3671&lang=en https://tannusamerica.com/products/tannus-armour And then there is good old slime!

    Review: New LMT'D - new owner's perspective

    Lumpy, do you know if the new controller a 22 amp controller also? The Ride1up web page lists the previous controller as 48V22A Lishui Sine-wave.

    Review: New LMT'D - new owner's perspective

    My Dapu 500 watt hub motor has served me well. Has been very reliable and has taken me on many long adventures. There are a few hills on River Mountains Loop trail by Lake Mead that it struggles with. That is were this 750 watt will shine. Also top end while pedaling is around 22 mph and it...

    Review: New LMT'D - new owner's perspective

    This is great news. They are listening to customers complaints and improving their product. I have been reading complaints on the forum of Rize and Juiced making me wary of taking a gamble on getting a product with problems from the get go. My friend purchased a Dost Drop and from receiving the...

    Review: New LMT'D - new owner's perspective

    Checking the stats on three 750 watt motor bikes I'm looking at the LMT'D has a 22 amp controller. The Dost Kope and the Juice Crosscurrent X use a 25 amp controller. Amps = Watts divided by volts. Since we know the volts and amps we can figure watts. LMT'D 1056 watt, Dost Kope 1200 watt and...

    Review: New LMT'D - new owner's perspective

    There is very limited customer experience with the LMT so far so every owners comments are appreciated especially Lumpy's. I sold my 2019 Giant Explore E + 3 today. Very sophisticated E-bike but I missed a throttle and the motor is designed to cut off at 20 mph without some type of aftermarket...

    Don't take it personally. I'm not bashing any individual.

    Thanks Lumpy, I follow this thread to hear your view and updates about the LMT. Anything not about the LMT should be started on another thread. That's how forums work.

    Weight is not a big factor on an electric bike. Weight, wind, hills, an electric bike gobbles it up like candy.

    Problem with latest firmware update

    The E Glide ST with a 500 watt rear drive motor is my main ride. I like having a throttle to start off with from stops. The Giant Explore was a good deal from a friend who could not ride any longer. The Giant is more like riding a regular bike with a little extra oomph!

    Problem with latest firmware update

    I purchased a 2019 Giant Explore from a friend in February. Had trouble with the Ridecontrol update and took it to my local Giant dealer and did the update for free. Also gave me this pretty cool report card. Even shows the percentage of the PAS fields you use when you ride. This is my 2nd E...

    Some odds and ends

    I don't have much to say but the bike is running great. I had a flat though. Here in Las Vegas there is all kinds of branches, gravel, rocks on the the road not to mention glass and the Schwable Big Ben plus just handles it. I did run over a branch and a large thorn got stuck in the tire. I...

    E-Glide ST review

    I couldn't find that information anywhere. I know it is located on the top of the battery holder for easy access. You might want to call Dave at E-Glide.

    E-Glide ST review

    Roland, thanks for pointing that out. I completely missed it. Before I called Dave I saw the metal lock piece for the cable under the cap, pulled the cable through the hole at the end so I could reach the lock screw and ended up not being able to thread the cable through the hole again. In other...

    E-Glide ST review

    Hi, I'm coming up to 11 months with the ST now and the only problem I have is the remote lock up cable does not seem to be engaging. I tried the adjuster nut on the handlebar and it doesn't seem to help. I took the two allen screws off that holds it to the shock and it looks like it is set at...

    E-Glide Battery Upgrade

    I noticed some of the good starting price electric bikes like ours have upgraded their batteries. Rad power now comes with a 48 volt 14 Ah battery with their new models for $1499.00 so the price must be coming down. A year later now and the powerful 11.4 Ah battery in our bikes is looking...

    E-Glide handlebar grip upgrade

    I purchased some black leather handlebar grips from Rad Power Bikes. Comes in brown leather, black leather and black rubber. $25.00 even. No shipping or tax. Very nice. Fit exactly except for the plug on the left side. I had a spare that was narrower. Also did the rack update...

    E-Glide Battery Upgrade

    I found another E-bike manufacturer Volt Bike, that uses the same battery case as ours in their Yukon 750 series. 48V 11.6Ah. On sale right now for $499.00. VoltBike Replacement Parts So there are a number of ways to go when it's time to replace the battery. If you charge your battery 200 times...
