Erik was passing down our street 45 minutes ago in Coconut Grove. I happened to be out front setting the barrel out for tomorrow's pickup when I heard the thrum of fat bike tires. Erik is a vet like me (he is AF and I am USNR) and he has a working ebike. I don't mean that mine is broken and...

I forgot to list my two Mirrycle mirrors. Grin, my bike plus my upright self is so much a wind catching combo I should just go ahead and add a sail.

When I get my display and wire harness and controller back from warranty service I will take some photos. Here is all it is: you take either one of the motor inhibitor wire pairs (either of the cables that go to either of the brake handles). Considering either one of them: the cable contains...

Gad, it's the wind resistance! Even with the easy rolling Schwalbe Big One 2.35" wide racing tires, and that I am not very strong, I can cruise comfortably at 15 in still air and go 18 if I work a bit. I can hit 20 only for a very brief spell if at all (my electrics are still out for warranty...

Where's your area? In Germany? BTW, your English is first-rate excellent!

Bike chains of decent construction cannot break, period. That would require either the shearing of a solid pin (impossible!) or the drifting-out of an unriveted pin (impossible in a properly made chain.) If a chain is "broken" by pressing-out a pin, and that same pin is re-pressed in but not...

Cloud 9 seats I have tried are always effective, well-engineered. I had a similar version of your chosen seat years ago and liked it. It had elastomers instead of the real springs of your seat. IF your body weight extends those springs when you are at rest, then they really can contribute...

There is safety in numbers of more people riding bikes Soroush, that is the take-away I wish for you to amplify. Ebikes enable anyone with normal equilibrium to ride. The more bikes, the more careful cars must be driven, the more conservatively. More safety for ebikers comes when more...

Remember to loosen the nearly hidden set screw that locks in the motor inhibitor reed switch. It takes a small Allen wrench.

My overall ebike experience is life-changing in an extraordinarily good way. I first had an ebike a little over ten years ago. It was not very good, a cheap commercially produced bike with lead acid battery. It was not very satisfactory. A year later I got a front wheel geared hub motor kit...

It is so good to have an Amish member. Someone already geared to the speed of real life. How nice to meet you!

Do you suppose the pack has a 52V BMS? If so, does that mean the pack may not have reached a balancing point voltage? Evidently, it didn't hurt. WHY, with all the education and lecturing and such from battery authorities do none of the makers offer as an option, a 52V battery with a BMS that...

Great set of big pictures of a great looking pair of bikes. Thanks!

On that side note, Bruce, I agree. I would like to have a 52V battery with plain old slow charger. 13AH would be sufficient. For the better performance in particular at the bottom of the battery discharge. Please Tora Please

Fear of flats (FOF) should not bother you. Most flats are due to thorns. Do you have thorns? Or they are due to screws. Do you have a lot of new construction where you live? I do here, that's for sure! Best advice, you already heard it, is to practice r and r'ing your new bike's rear...

Today I am running 35PSI in both tires. It seems better! But so does 20PSI. In other words, it is all good with these tires. I highly recommend them. Please try one on the front of your CCS. It will fit. And you can adjust the front fender to clear. And try it tubeless! It will work great...

I used to have an unrestored 1915 Detroit Electric Model 60 Brougham. Its instruction book advised the use of pnuematic tires if maximum range was the primary object. Semi-solid "cushion" tires were a flat free option. But they cost battery power and considerably knocked down the potential...

Watts is Watts (sic) and Pigs is Pigs ( great, classic short story since 1905). Tora is correct. Higher voltage batteries are legally considered an electrocution hazard. You can get as much POWER and SPEED from a 6V battery, for instance if the associated hub motor were wound with a...

Well, this is a blog report. 15PSI in front is OK but does not work well enough for the rear (the rear is more heavily loaded by far) because the relatively narrow 19.5mm internal width of the CCS rim is not suitable for such a wide tire as the Big One if the Big One is underinflated. To...

In use for months now with entire satisfaction, see the alarm @ 53 seconds in? And the frame lock and chain, great for short stops. I just don't worry. Am in an area at high risk of opportunistic theft, low risk of bolt cutters and angle grinders, especially for short term parking at public...
