I agree, i passed by so much stuff in a truck i now see on a E-bike, time to stop and smell the roses

People ask how can i increase my range? how can i increase my power? without sacrificing weight. You cannot, it took this weight to trust ratio to get Neil to the moon. https://www.grc.nasa.gov/www/k-12/airplane/thrsteq.html You may buy an alum e-bike to save weight but it has 1/3 the tensile...

You have not stated if it's a mid drive, shiftable, hub drive or frame drive. You want the maximum , pulling 200 lbs plus the bike and you, 1000 watts for safety. How far are you going? Watt hours are important for range not power. For increased range and power you need a BIG battery and go to a...

Now this is what i'm thinking, i have a cutoff power brake lever, i actually don't need it It's all good without it. I turned to the left sharply and the motor cut out quickly about 3 times, this puts the right handle brake cut off high. Any moisture can run down and cross the connection...

I have heard a lot of crap on the net, pretty sure my neighbor walked on the moon with Armstrong, not buying s*it unless you can back it up. Everything i say i can back up with multiple witnesses or it's on paper. Back it up! vid, paper etc. until you do your just another wannabe. I scored 8...

I have lived in the woods, easy to make a claim but after 2 days water is an issue, purification tabs are a must. If no tabs where is the best place to get water? Can't wait for this answer Thank god for the net which is not available in the woods but your in a chair pretending you actually go...

In your case bigger is better, 4 piston over 2 no match, i agree with JRA. Larger brake area, simple physics.

If you have a 3 grand bike it's on the hit list, my $1000 frankenbike is not, just too ugly :) If you want it to be steal proof throw some ugly paint on it unless your all about show.

I found most people on bike trails are helpful and have the gear you need, in any case a crescent wrench, spare tube, cell phone, energy bars and water purification tablets in case it's a few days

Totally agree, i was thinking of making a vid, i pull up to a gas pump pull the nozzle out and look for a place to put it in, shrug my shoulders, hop on and drive away As far as manufactures specs go, your right, PLANNED OBSOLESCENCE. I have tried here to save a buck for people, i know that...

I've checked out the bike shops listed here, it's all the same, your paying big for the bike! 12 amp hours may take you to moms place but no further. In my mind it's all about amp/hours. i have a 30 amp/hour lithium plus 2 12 volt SLA's wired in series for 24 volts/20 amp hours extra. the bike...

Totally understand, i've driven in snowstorms, rain, icy roads, etc. Trust me it's more luck than talent, when things go bad they go really bad. one wipe out 4 months ago and i'm still paying for it, Bobby Orr knee. You made the right decision, i didn't

In the 90's here it was dot 4 As a bonus silicone brake grease, about $7 a tube CDN is also die-electric, i coat all my electric connections with it and run in any weather. Manufactures are not going to tell you that, they wan't you to pay $$$ for their recommendations. The same with silicone...

As an apprentice mechanic i ran into this a lot, solution, Dawn dish soap and it saves wildlife. I keep a small bit in a container, freakin' stuff will put a 20 inch tire on a 24 inch rim, just kidding but it really helps

For those with hydraulic brake systems this is my best advice, silicone dot 4 car brake fluid. I swapped it in because my Dodge Dakota brakes had to be rebuilt or replaced every 4 years because of off road use. After the change no replacement even after i sold it 6 years later. Silicone keeps...

I'm guessing about 2000k but most off road in summer and Canadian winter on road, still hangin' in there. Cheap Chinese 450 watt frame mounted motor kit.

I really don't know anything about this but logic dictates a pack can't fail, it's made of individual cells, some can fail but not all at once even drained. BMS issue i would guess, bypass it, that may take tearing the pack apart to get voltage directly to the cells.

Go for it Jaypem, 450 watt/24 volt chinese frame mounted motor kit. change the rear gear from 16 teeth to 22 or 28 teeth, the more teeth the more power but less speed. Your going to need modified wheel locks to keep the motor from actually pulling the rear wheel forward and off the bike. Lesson...

How this go from a frankenbike build to late 60's muscle cars :)

Safe and sane, i seem to be neither :)
