    Tax on new e-bikes. Depends on where it is bought ?

    Regarding Sales tax on a Lectric ebike....Since Lectric e-bikes has become such huge company via the Internet, my guess they are required to collect the sales tax at the rate where the bike is sold / shipped to and they remit the $$s to the respective state...Similar to the eBay and other...

    Hello

    Nope... This latest text convinces me even more this is all AI . As a comprehensive paragraph, the content is all over the place. Makes no sense. The opening words....." Well it not AI post, this bike has BBSHD motor 1000 watts." What do the motor specs have to do with claiming the post is...

    Hello

    This entire post strikes me as odd....?? Perhaps completely AI, generated by the Manufacturer ?? As for the product, it's an e-motorcycle, not an e-bike and belongs elsewhere, not here.

    Best place to buy a battery

    Hi HarryS...You points are spot on. I completely agree with your point of view. Unfortunately if or when the poster provides actual specifics on his bike, company supplied battery / charger etc all we can do 'What if's forever. ' Hopefully the poster will share his bikes specs and not..."...

    Best place to buy a battery

    We have have offered some very fundamental suggestions ( advise ) based on the technical information you've provided which is zero. We asked for the make and model of your bike, (a quality picture or two if possible would be very helpful ). I attempted to explain, if your bike isn't designed...

    Best place to buy a battery

    Hello, Lets start with some basics. What brand and model e-bike did you buy. Second, what brand of battery and motor came with your bike ? Third... You wrote...." Will that company have to provide the bracket and connectors etc? " If your bike company doesn't offer the necessary hardware to...

    Dj bikes handlebar

    Hello, I'm assuming you purchased your bike on line ? My opinion. Your situation appears very serious. ( Safety wise ) I would take your bike to a Local Bike Shop, or at least call one to see if they will provide service. For your safety I would see a pro... Assuming your bike was purchased...

    8+ months of research, 100s of hours, know what I need & want but can't find it

    Hello, Have you met with a 'certified' bike fitter at a knowledgable bike shop you trust. Someone you're comfortable with their advice ? You said you didn't want to depend on the motor all the time, 'push the pedals' At 110 lbs fully clothed' it sounds like you'll need a bike with some serious...

    Have you ever apologized for other bikers behavior

    Hello, I think what you did, apologizing was very honorable. The 'right' thing to do for all of use in the cycling community. My view. More of us concerned cyclists should do whatever tiny bit of good will we can...There's tons of hate. There are car /pickup truck drivers that 'hate' us...

    the beast hit 14,000 miles

    Congratulations !!! This so very cool. I'd love to see more pictures of your tandem. The Bosch Drive system is the best in my view. I'm on my third Trek/ Bosch Drive (Traditional bike) 12,000 miles no problems. Tandems are in a league by themselves, power, stress, wear and tear as I'm sure you...

    How Many e-Bikes do you have and ride ??

    Hi HarryS, Absolutely incredible work ! I can tell by your attention to detail you're a true craftsman. You referenced 'beaters' :) Those are the finest looking 'beaters' ( not ) I've ever seen.

    How Many e-Bikes do you have and ride ??

    Hi Dave, Very interesting enjoyable post. One again you've proven what I never suspected when I started this tread, there's a huge amount of cycling diversity in 'our EBR world'... I would have never known or guessed. I'm finding enjoyable to read how we use our e-Bikes. Hopefully folks new...

    How Many e-Bikes do you have and ride ??

    My reply to All, This is my second followup on my post... I'm finding the Posts fascinating. I'm seeing a 'pattern' and that pattern is there is none.... I would have never guessed there would such a blend of bikes, uses, styles of riding. I guess this is an unseen value to riding our e-bikes...

    How Many e-Bikes do you have and ride ??

    So far , Thank you all for you replies. This little post is just for me. I'm glad I've posted because, while folks on EBR will almost certainly never meet in person, just to know what others ride, it's nice to know what a little of the human side of our 'sport' / hobby. Lord knows we spend...

    How Many e-Bikes do you have and ride ??

    Hi All, I'm curious how many e-Bike you own ? I bought two Treks 6 years ago, an XM700 Commuter - Class 3 and a Powerfly 7 MTB / 90% Rail Trails. 12,000 miles. Love the bikes. I'm in the process of buying a Trek Allant + 7s because the 60Nm of torque from my XM700 is starting to pull at my...

    After 3 days on my brand new Level 2, a flat occurs...

    Hello, Don't be discouraged by the 'annoyed ' cargo van driver....I've been riding e-bikes for 6 years and have discovered there's a small number 'hardwired' car / truck bicycle 'haters'. Should your Tannus Inserts not work to your satisfaction, I strongly recommend the Schwalbe's 'Flatless'...

    E-bike wire snapped and now have an error 30. Engwe x20

    Ageed. The post seemed a bit 'disjointed', (confusing) plus being a new poster. Not a strong combination to solicit help.

    E-bike wire snapped and now have an error 30. Engwe x20

    There way 'too much going on ' here.... For starters, if any real manufacturer contact info is available, there will be no 'Customer Support' . Second. if the bike works meaning, the motor provides assist as it should, that's huge. Forget about the lack of the throttle unless, do to your...
