    CrossCurrent motor options - will I see improvement?

    So I have a CrossCurrent Air with CCS controller. I do not have a budget to spend $ on GMAC + Phaserunner, I'm thinking about simply replacing the motor. Although it may not happen soon, I just want to start looking around, because when my motor is done, I want to use that excuse to replace the...

    Bicycle Camper?

    Have you ever seen bicycle campers? 😲 Apparently people with normal bikes use one of these. Although they're made lightweight, I can't imagine hauling around these campers if I were to go on a long distance ride. This is one of the most popular bicycle camper, Wide Path Camper. It's a foldable...

    What's the ebike wattage rating? 750W = 1 horsepower? or is it simply the consumption of electricity.

    First of all, I'm not an engineer and I am a complete amateur when it comes to this topic. So I have seen several posts here on EBR how 750W ebikes make approximately 1 horsepower because 750W can be converted into 1.01972 hp. But is this actually the case? If so, from engineering...

    ebike chain = waste of money?

    This video tests a cheap KMC bicycle chain and more expensive Shimano "ebike rated" chain. In summary, cheaper KMC bicycle chain lasted longer than Shimano ebike rated chain. The testing was done by connecting both chains, 50% / 50%, so that both chains will be exposed in the same condition. I...

    Website on the frame

    I don't know if it's just me, but doesn't the website on the frame (both Spark and Rize brand bikes) kind of make the bike a little ugly and almost look like an advertisement? I don't mind if they put their brand name on the frame, as any other bike companies would do, but printing their...

    CCX broken down after only one day.

    You should stop pulling random 99.9% out of thin air. Anyone who does a little critical thinking would dismiss your 99.9% data. We do not know the data.. also how do you know Juiced sold 10,000 ebikes? Do you have their sales figures? Even if they did, we don't know how many claims they had...

    Why aren't there quick chargers for ebike?

    Why aren't there quick chargers for ebike? I was looking at cell phones, and some of the largest smartphone companies like Xiaomi and Vivo have introduced quick chargers that can be charged 0% to 100% in 13 min to 17 min. Somebody here on EBR said that RC cars, boats or airplanes can be charged...

    Aftermarket BionX charger?

    Do you know any aftermarket charger available for BionX battery pack? Also, how does this 26V charger charge 48V battery pack? I'm a bit in the dark about this. What kind of connector does it have? I don't think it's a DC connector like Reention battery pack. Is this BionX proprietary?
