    This is “normal”

    I have the tool and I also have a DTI for cars that can verify warping, works on a bike same as a motorcycle or car, and these discs were beyond normal. resting on a flat level surface one side was 3/4" higher, doesn't matter how much dicking around with the tool I did it didn't fix it. my...

    I was only using the Apple fitness app for tracking for the past year. I recently fitted a Wahoo Cadence sensor to the bike and got a Wahoo HR monitor. I use the wahoo app now; since the second week of October so it only shows 48 rides for 2637.39 miles. Never been a fan of paying for...

    Battery not charging, what am I doing wrong???

    that adapter you have is likely not wired correctly, it is going from a 3 pin to a 2 pin. on those XLR 3-pin connections, only 2 pins are used, pin1 is typically hot, and pin 2 or pin 3 can be the ground. I have the same charger I had to jump pins 2 and 3 together on my adapter so...

    Rad Power bike cutting out with Bolton controller

    trim the C5 setting from 10 down to 7-8 that will stop the motor from peaking at 100%, it will curve it to 70-80% of max power. personally have mine set to 5 50% of max power. so mine never goes above 750watts. no need for 1500 watts on my commute, plus it makes sure I can get 30+ miles...

    E-BIKE SPEED RESTRICTIONS (AGREE OR DISAGREE )

    I do not believe in laws to protect people from their own stupidity. stupidity culls the herd. I believe in personal responsibility, basic (common) sense, and knowing your own limits. there is already too much regulation on everything. which is one of the reasons we have a society of...

    Headlight upgrades for ebikes with stock headlights?

    12v power supply and any 12v light you want. I use a Jeep 7" off-road LED light bar, have tried some motorcycle driving lights as well, like the output and aesthetics of the bar better. 12v power packs: this one lasts me 8-9 hours with the below light. mine...

    Warthog HD/MD Thread

    i'm sure. FWIW I got my second battery back on Oct, 11th., 1 day shy of 2 months. and only after I finally got a hold of Bikonit directly and told them I would be filing for a charge back with my AMEX on the bike. amazingly the battery shipped out the next morning.

    great cordless air pump.

    yup, been carrying that Makita in my cars for 6+ years. always works, always been reliable. and since all my tools are Makita I have a dozen batteries, so I just rotated one to the car every few months to be sure it is always fully charged.

    Get a good helmet, and wear it.

    Warthog HD/MD Thread

    I would give them latitude (and have) if they did things with an ounce of common sense. I have two batteries, as does just about everyone with these bikes, understanding that they don't want both packed in the same box, great, but they required 2 separate RMA call tags, instead of 1 RMA...
