Oh, that is what you think! No wonder you don't get it. There are countless situations where a throttle on a mid-drive bike could use a throttle, but you have already made up your mind that they don't exist. Of course, because it actually is legal! It is really simple, read the definition of...

Really? Where did you get that data? Not that it makes any difference to the discussion. Wow, you really think that a throttle can't work on a mid drive! I'll make sure not to hire you for engineering or design then. Actually it does become a class 1 because it fits the definition of a class 1...

So how is wanting a throttle on a middrive bike with torque sensor not respecting our laws? No one here is trying to redefine the classes. The problem is you are so bent out of shape over something which absolutely does not concern you that you aren't making sense. It doesn't concern you, move...

I disagree, that is not an oxymoron statement. There is no conflict of terms any more than my Pedego Element or Avenue with 5 PAS levels and throttle. Basically, the throttle overrides any pedal assisting setting and would be very useful when the assist level is set relatively low and you...

I've received a similar type of call and when I asked the caller to provide some identifying information that I know only my financial institution would know, they got angry with me and tried to persuade me to answer their questions anyway. I said, "sorry, you obviously are not legit" and hung...

Yes, that was obvious in your post. I responded to that with the one liner and decided to add my experience about the stems.

This is precisely why I went with the Redshift, too. I went with the Redshift stem on my bike and the Kinekt on my wife's bike. I did a comparison post on them here: https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/kinekt-50-comfort-stem-vs-redshift-30-shockstop-suspension-stem.51221/ I would...

That is most likely because the charging circuit monitors the battery pack, including the temperature. The two black wires going between the cells on the right is very likely a thermocouple to measure temperature. Good systems monitor for both high and low temperature. The replacement cells need...

That is interesting. You'd think that you could at least get the max the charger can put out if your vehicle can accept it. Here in Washington State, we pay a $150/year road tax and $75/year electric vehicle infrastructure fee. Washington's gasoline tax is currently at $0.49/gal. Using the 2023...

Nope, not cheap. My cost for an 800 mile trip with charging at home and at a friend's at the destination would have been the same as driving an equivalent gas car. Where the cost savings come in is when charging at home and only paying 8.1cents/kWh. Public charging is at best on parity with...

That average is over three times the average on my 2023 Niro EV. After your post I went looking for the EA history and found this charge session: This is just under 54kW average. The amount past 80% was at ~2kW which is pathetic. I'm definitely going to double check the charge rate on my next...

Yes, I figured that. The design of their new pedals is such that they could build different sized end pieces to get any size pedal one would want. I think I'll contact them about the possibility.

I put Redshift Archlight pedals on my ebike. The LED lights slip in easily and are white in front and red in back with three lighting modes. They have two types of pedals. I bought mine before they came out with the grippier version.

They also have to have white reflectors in the spokes unless the tires have reflector stripes on them.

As one who has come from normal bikes, I disagree with your assertion.

The difference, however, is that the bike is moving WITH traffic not toward it. The relative motion is reduced between the car and bike the faster the bike moves, giving the driver of a car more time to react to a bike in the lane. Also, the faster the bike is going, the less frustrating it can...

I was disappointed with the charge rate on my 2023 Niro EV. It peaked at around 70kW and then drops to just above 40kW near 80% then tanks to 2-3kW after 80%. I'm not sure if the sudden drop is due to charging on the "complementary" 500kWh charging plan on EA or not, but is very annoying when my...

What was the peak charge power and power when at 80%?

Maybe that was by request of the warranty department.
