"For instance, when it comes to a “street legal” electric bike, the USA has a 750W power limit. Then…Canada, Switzerland, and Austria have a 500W power level, and many other countries have a ridiculously low 250W power level. The Bafang label claims a 1000W power level, but they are actually...

There is a reason for the limiter, i have a cheap Chinese setup, no limiter. 50 kph (30 mph) with lite peddling no problem. on the other hand i have a torn up knee and a bunch of wasted rims. For some reason you cannot see potholes as well on a bike as you can in a car, lower or higher to the...

DO NOT BUY A WATCH! I have had several GPS watches, not accurate! they basically suck. Paid about $350 for the last one. I now have a Magellan 650 GPS, i tape it to the handlebars, put it my pack, whatever. I downloaded a free program from them and it tells me everything except how yellow my pee...

I duck taped my GPS to my handle bar, the only thing it does not tell me is you are going waaaay to fast on a road full of potholes Not sure if i would invest money in something your only going to use a few times, seems like something Lance would use, without the doping :) As you can tell i...

I'm way over my frankenbikes limit for weight, 180 lbs plus battery, backpack etc. I had to put magnesium rims on it, spoked rims could not handle the weight and abuse, and changed the 16 tooth hub gear for a 22 tooth for more power and i have a 450 watt frame mounted motor! If i was you i would...

Did my time when i was 16, rode a 10 speed from New Glasgow N.S. to Cavendish beach P.E.I., looooong trip to the next province. I'm 56 now and you can taunt me all you want on my E-Bike, i did my time while you where 2 generations from entering this world :)

All the weight on mine is at the rear, i have experienced front wheel "float" especially when i lean back, no steering! as far as wobble goes that sounds like the the the front end is not tightened down enough? I have aggressive tires but no shake even at high speeds, i have noticed it while...

I spent a lot of time trying to get the best for less, this is what i found https://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/48V-1000W-Lithium-Battery-48V-20AH-Electric-Bicycle-Battery-with-54-6V-2A-charger-30A-BMS/1473151_32666473600.html?spm=2114.12010612.0.0.15aa8c1eC3wuSz I got a 24 volt, 30 amp...

Have a bad back, next one is a woman's step through. No idea why there and men's and woman's bikes, how about people bikes, depending on your stature and age :) Never happen

It's not an e-bike to me either, it's a frankenbike, i have no idea why it's still in one piece erider 61. It's not a build it's just trial and error. A cheap welder, motor and cheap bike. I went to a 22 tooth gear rear hub, freakin' best move i ever made. The factory is 16 tooth. This thing...

I have google, top and gov maps that will work in Magellan GPS Huge amount of info, at least 32 gigs. All of Nova Scotia, Canada Made them myself, about a months work. Know it's a long shot but if anyone wants them no prob.

My question is why you want to change out a working motor out for another one which seems just because of the name? Yes i have fallen in love with the Bafang mid drive, but i'm going to build my ultimate E-bike over time, on a budget. Not by name

I have a $100 wal-mart bike with a 450 watt Chinese frame mounted motor on it, i just went through a blizzard with it, seriously i could not see 5 feet in front of me at times, by the way it was at night, now flooding, still going. In the summer i tried to beat it off-road until i found a weak...

Winter Canada on a $100 wal-mart bike and a $250 Chinese motor!

Umm buy a woman's bike, i'm considering it with a bad back, not into style, more function.

I way over rated a wall-mart bike for a year, me, gear etc, then i threw a 450 watt motor on it for a year, still going 12 months every year in Canada. Just sayin' The difference is not price, it's maintenance! keep it clean and regularly lubed

I replaced my spoked wheels with magnesium. I don't have a girlfriend at the moment but i'm seriously thinking about asking my mags to marry me :)

I'm new to e-bikes but not to Bosch, i was an apprentice mechanic in the 80's, you could not kill Bosch How do you fry a Bosch motor when i can't kill a Chinese 450 watt?

The roads in Canada are not good now, freeze, thaw, repeat. As a biker i have to avoid these "potholes" or wait until summer to drive. Before i was a biker in my truck i always looked at them, slowed down and gave a wide birth, they may have to avoid holes. Now it's a game, how close can i come...

Spacial reasoning Alaskan, to be able to see something before it actually happens, she didn't have it. Nothing you can do, sorry man
