    Where to get a battery repaired?

    https://netherswholesale.com/ You might look here. Also, when reading voltage with a volt meter, the internal battery is not used. The battery is for resistance measurement, I think.

    Real Range? What can you get from a charge?

    I use 10-13 wh per mile and ride in semi hilly area. I think range is roughly figured on 20wh per mile. It is going to depend on many factors.

    Hello From Indiana

    Your budget is great. There are so many good bikes out there within that price. Good luck. My $.02: I would get something with a front shock.

    How do you use e-power on your e-bike?

    I like the concept of computing Wh per mile. Thanks. I am going to steal that one. I am out there to work a bit. That is a good way I think to determine how much effort I put into it, if I understand correctly.

    How do you use e-power on your e-bike?

    I use eco mode. I shift the assist up on a steep hill, but like to leave it in lowest position, unless like someone stated above, flat land and just wanting to roll along a bit faster, then maybe up to 3. I have 6 levels and seldom use beyond 3, except for my high speed 3 block finish back home...

    The Extraordinary Life of Shane (TBI traumatic brain injury and ebiking)

    an inspiring story of both. I thought Shane was making life comments rather than political ones; and thought his comments added to the story. Our president did indeed mock folks with disabilities.....

    taking your wheelchair with you

    I have magnum metro plus step thru. My spinal cord injury prevents me from walking, but I can ride that bike, and it is quite a feeling of freedom. It took a while to get fairly steady, but after 200 miles I felt ready to try taking a chair with me, so I could do more than just loops out and...

    E-Bike for recovery. But which one?

    You have great idea. an ebike will get you back out there. Can you ride a few and then decide? or rent a few? or borrow one? Most of us are very willing to 'show off' our bikes. Good luck. you can't really go wrong here...

    Question about the 80%/20% rule for battery maintenance in winter

    You can use a volt meter to see how far along the charge is. There are tables on this site. Turn off the charger, let it all sit for a while, then measure the voltage.

    e-bike towbar carrier question

    I have a plastic cap that fits over the electrical outlet on my bike to protect it when I remove the battery. It was something in the shop, perhaps a plug end from an old wheelchair. Anyway I think it is better for the bike to have that part covered when transporting without the battery in place.
