Johns advice is spot on! You can drop $4k, $5k, $10k pretty easy on an ebike and there's no assurance you'll enjoy it any better than a $1000 bike. Spend the $1000, enjoy the bike for a year or two and then you'll be in the right position to know if a more expensive bike is what you need or not...

If it's really near new, I found my batteries gained a bit of range after a few charge cycles. Not massive but a little bit.

Milano is fairly new, but I see it mentioned in NCM threads so I think it's fairly popular. NCM Canada and NCM Australia facebook groups are very active too. Also you are correct about Magnum, likewise AmegoEV.com sells a line of bikes that are NCM Moscow's under the paint too, my son has one.

Check out the NCM part of the EBR Forums or there's a couple very active NCM facebook groups. I have an NCM Moscow+ and can recommend NCM as reliable and well built. I've had minimal issues with mine.

I think your pack sounds like it will be fine but please report back. I've got several of these Dorado batteries from different sources and they all behave slightly different (including 2 batteries from the same vendor). They charge slightly different and they operate slightly different. Worse...

We had ours off to replace the freewheel with just a stock 11-32t replacement and while we didn't try pulling the axle out slightly as you described it was for sure rigid on ours. Sorry to hear yours might be busted.

That is not good. The axle is loose or bent? Neither is good. Ours was rock solid with the freewheel off

⁠Followup with some new range info. First I should have mentioned on my previous range reports that along with all the gear and spare battery I was carrying, I have a 48v light system that I used the entire ride for visibility, that power came from the battery and it drops the battery about...

Wow, you are trying to give them your hard earned cash and it's like they don't want it. It do believe it's the summer of money for ebike retailers this year but its surprising they aren't on top of the website listing being bad. I've heard the 26" misinformation mentioned somewhere else too I'm...

Can anyone recommend a decent bike multitool for carrying on the bike. I'd like to pay under $50 but I'd pay up to $100 for a tool with a good set of items. I wish Victorinox or Leatherman made bike tools; I know they both had ridiculous tools on the market at one point, but I mean a bike tool...

Lol. Leon Canada is 2 for 2 on Moscow misinformation, unless someone says otherwise the Moscow uses the same frame as the Moscow+ and comes in 27.5 and 29 not 26" but maybe that changed? LeonCycle.com and LeonCycle.co.uk still list the Moscow as 27.5 and 29". I own an NCM bike so recommend them...

Wild. I'm sure you've seen videos and such of others in that menu. So strange yours has no choices. I do have a spare C7 display with only 300km on it but the case was cracked (works fine) so Leon replaced it. I'd consider selling it but I'd be more interested in a swap as still have a project...

Wait when people yell "Cheater" at me they aren't referring to my marital situation? I just figured the whole town knew or something?! :D

You've tried the secret menu (8018) and changing it there? It just doesn't stick? I've changed mine on my Moscow+ with a C7 display and it remembers the setting but the main display does always show "Power" not "Normal" or "Eco". But I can confirm it makes a difference as I can really feel a...

Just a note. The Moscow does have a throttle unless someone with a Moscow (both mine are Moscow+) says otherwise. But Leon certainly sells the replacement throttle for it for $25cdn (shipping incl) if it doesn't come with it. @john peck has a standard Moscow, he can confirm if it included a...

By the way I posted a first impressions of the 25ah battery here: https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/just-received-a-new-dorado-25ah-battery.43821

Couple thoughts. 1) Jenny sells the 25ah battery I reviewed, but she also sells other capacities like the 21ah and 17.5ah/etc. On a value perspective it's not the 25ah that's the best value per ah of battery. The 21ah is an even better deal in terms of ah at only $535usd shipped (check with...

The weight is in the updated report but hidden in the details, it's 5.9kg on my scales for the new 25ah battery. Location was Nova Scotia Canada, not normally the hottest location on earth but that day was sticky hot on the ride back home. The ride to the cabin was fine and very comfortable...

My order was a battery, charger, brackets and a BMS for a side project. But $650usd for just the battery with shipping. Jenny can get you updated prices.

@harryS. Your logic is sound but what doesn't track is that if a cell group is fully disconnected and reading zero then your batteries should no longer be 13s but more like two separate 7s and 6s packs, I am unsure how @Mansour got 46v from the battery originally. Maybe that group kinda makes...
