    Rating you preferred eBike repair Facility.

    I found, there is quite a bit of information on Victoria BC Bike Shop experiences on Reddit. I hope I am allowed to mention that Website, if not please delete. Thanks & Cheers

    Recommended air pump to carry on bike

    I heard about repairing a Tube this way but so far have never done it. Come to think of it, I will try this out as soon as time permits on a Spare Wheel and here in my Shop. Cheers

    Recommended air pump to carry on bike

    I got a Aluminum Tube Handpump which I just refurbished on the Bike, primitiv but likely works if needed. Do yourself a favor by periodically inspecting and use your emergency stuff. By doing that you almost guaranteed you will never need it, but if you do you know how to use it. No point of...

    Issues with brand new ebike

    Seems to me the Dealer and Gazelle only fell in line after you explained your problem here. My Neighbor is contemplating buying eBikes at a LBS for himself and one for his Wife, I think I will show him this Thread. I cant imagine this has anything to to in the remotest possible way with the new...

    Bafang have been watching my videos.

    My Diving Watch is "Waterproof" and proved it when I was a Helluva lot younger. The Hubmotor of my eBike is "Water resistant "meaning it will shed Water unless submerged. This problem area is nearly impossible to seal where the Cable comes out besides the Axle. If you have a "Waterproof"...

    Bafang have been watching my videos.

    When I took a Hubdrive Motor out of its Housing It became clear to me they can't be "Waterproof". No Water should get in while one is riding upright. If you Motor gets submerged past the Cable tunnel, Water will enter and can't get out. If you suspect water got in, its probably best to remove...

    Ebikeschool.com epic China visit

    Excellent Video & information not to mention an Eyeopener for many Thank you for sharing this with us. I wish Decisionmakers in Government and Industry would learn from this too, start thinking outside the Box (which seems to be impossible for Party Hacks) and get us competitive again while it...

    Papers please!

    Typical German overregulation (Regulierungswut). So glad I left that Country almost a Lifetime ago to have actual not just perceived Freedom. Cheers

    UPP BATTERIES BANNED AND DANGEROUS

    Thanks for your clarification. I don't have/use/own a UPP Batterie therefore perhaps some think I should keep my Mouth shut. However I don't like halve truths and Lies, we get enough daily of that from most Politicians and the Media. Cheers

    Customer Service

    Funny thing I find, in my own Business which I established in 1978 and still going strong, potential Customers often ask for References which is common in my Industry. I wonder what most Bike Shop Managers would do if one asks for References, my guess is he would show you the Door haha ! Cheers

    Charging the eBike Battery, Charger getting Hot

    Not sure if my eBike is safety certified or not and by whom and if I really would trust them ? Attached a Pic of the Back of one of the Chargers. My Bike came with 2 Batteries and 2 Chargers and yes I charge each Batterie individually, they are not allowed communicating with each order while...

    Charging the eBike Battery, Charger getting Hot

    That makes sense thank you. However I still will keep an Eye peeled on this when the Charger is hocked up. Thanks

    Charging the eBike Battery, Charger getting Hot

    During charging my Battery the Charger warms up quite a bit. The Battery hat only about 10% remaining when I put her on the Charger. How warm is too hot ? Right now I could still hold the Charger in my Hand. When the Battery is fully charged the Charger will cool down by itself while still...

    Hello from Germany!

    Welcome to the Community. I grew up in the foothills of the Alps myself and used to ride my standard "Drathesel" visiting the different Mountain Farms of my Family. No doubt you must be in top condition having done 16,000 Km in that environment. I should do that now and get back into shape...

    Customer Service

    And the real test of a company is not how they do when everything goes just right. Rather, how do they do when something goes wrong. 100% true ! When my eBike (I bought mine through Amazon) developed a mega Hub problem, the Chines Company (the Manufacturer) I bought from immediately looked...

    Using a Pet Trailer with a Ride1Up Turris?

    I was thinking, for larger Dogs in my case a Doberman perhaps one of those hard plastic Kennels loaded onto the Bike Trailer (Dog Crate) with a Door would work. No restraining Harness required. Needless to say a very thick Foam pad would be a must to absorb the bumps in the Trail. Cheers
