    New beach cruiser build...

    My lovely wife is giving me a new beach cruiser (Retrospec Chatham 7-speed) that I am going to transfer the Voilamart front hub (48v 1000 watt) kit from the Raleigh hybrid I installed it on a couple of years ago. I have been impressed with the performance of the Voilamart kit but not with the...

    Average age of EBR riders

    I'm 69, and after two back surgeries (most recent one in September) arthritic knees and wrists, if it weren't for electric bikes, I wouldn't be able to ride very far. Interesting, the age demographic is very similar to the "traditional hot rod" forum I am a member of...

    Throttle ? Yes or no ?

    After two back surgeries and arthritis in both knees, the throttle keeps me out on a bike. I do pedal some for exercise, but wouldn't get far without my throttle to get me back... Having owned many motorcycles in my younger years, twisting the throttle just comes naturally.

    Pas or not to pas, that is my question...

    Am I right in assuming that Voilamart is a Bafang product? Ours seem to work really well, lots of power, but I have never ridden another ebike. Mine can do 32mph, but even being an old biker, that can be kinda scary! Around the island I live on, the roads and paved paths are basically flat...

    Pas or not to pas, that is my question...

    Hi guys, just discovered this forum after having an ebike for a couple of years. Two years ago, I converted a couple of pedal bikes with Voilamart front hub motors. The way I understood the rather vague directions, the pas was a European requirement and not used in the states... I am getting...

    Greetings from Kent Island on the Chesapeake Bay...

    Kent Island is completely flat with the highest elevation being the route 50 overpass! Beach Cruisers are perfect for the type of riding we do, with beaches and paved trails in all directions. At the moment, I do not have the pas system installed, as I like the throttle. Is there any advantage...

    Greetings from Kent Island on the Chesapeake Bay...

    I am a retired "stay at home " dad with two boys (10 and 13). My wife rode an ebike on a business trip, and convinced me to purchase two electric bike conversion kits for Christmas two years ago. The kits are front hub Voilmart 48v with a 1000w 13ah rack mounted battery. Her bike is a 7 speed...
