Consider potential long term parts cost, especially for batteries: https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/yamaha-charging-2475-00-for-a-battery.52593/

Wasn't long ago I got a 500Wh external Yamaha battery for my 2017 Haibike for well under $1k. Maybe it's a supply-demand issue

That depends on riding surface (size of bumps, potholes etc.) and suspension fork quality, in my experience. I have a Redshift stem on my gravel conversion, cheap coil front suspension on the Haibike hardtail I use for road rides, and high end air suspension on my eMTB for "technical" trails...

Thanks for the detail and corrections! I've been using this "overcharge prevention timer" for a few years now, but mostly so a nearly depleted battery won't fully charge. I'm loathe to leave a battery at 100%, even just for a couple of days. My oldest battery is a 2015 Bosch PowerPack 400...

I keep reading articles, posts etc. that refer to Samsung, LG, Panasonic etc. as the battery brand used on specific ebikes. But these are merely the cells used within the battery casing, no? Those companies don't actually build complete ebike batteries, do they? A battery using such...

Website currently shows Level V2 battery at $499 with no V2 terminal. V1 customers have to call? That's pretty sad, IMO - how hard would it be to add the terminal as an additional item?

A throttled, 76 lb, 1000w rear hub propelled RipCurrent S with beyond Class 3 speed cap on "blue and black" MTB singletrack trails? Assuming you're referring to Trailforks color-coded "trail difficulty" ratings, this seems extremely dangerous and highly illegal. It's also one of the reasons a...

Looks great but those (expensive) tires are designed for much tougher trails than I'd ride that bike on 🙃

This has been on my car for a coupla years... Lots more ebike stickers on Redbubble: https://www.redbubble.com/shop/?query=Ebike&re1a

Hyper's cheap Walmart ebikes come with very small batteries - usually around 36V 8.8Ah - which is why your range is not good. I also believe that the low quality hub motors they use are very inefficient, and will drain batteries faster as well.

I've read that Shimano chargers will stay "on" for a brief period after the battery reaches full charge (mine does). This is unusual in my experiences over several years with Bosch, Yamaha and generic "brands." I've heard some folks surmise that the purpose of this is to balance cells, but I'm...

Only if the motor doesn't get you to 25... Read the article - 20mph max by motor

Rules finalized for ebikes on state park and forest trails where bikes allowed. Summary: throttles are OK as long as riders don't use 750W max motors to propel 100 lb max bikes (with fully functional pedals) past 20mph...

My 2017 Raleigh Tokul iE's seat tube cracked (pic below) because they didn't make the gusset high enough to reach the top of the post on large-size frames - this happened with the seatpost at minimum insertion. When I bought the bike new, it came with a 5-year frame warranty. Because Raleigh...

I have trail-ridden bikes quite a bit with Shimano as well as Bafang motors (including a HAL eBoost Pro and a couple of conversions using BBSHDs), and the main difference to me is the smoothness and sophistication of power delivery. STePS systems win that contest hands down unless the rider...

I named this thread "Special Tool" because that's what the Tongsheng manual calls it 🤷‍♂️

The first TSDZ2 I got from Eco Cycles came with one, but the two I got from Eunorau last year - just before they stopped selling them - did not. When I asked Eunorau to send me two wrenches, they insisted that one came with each motor, but I'm 100% sure mine did not. Eunorau wouldn't help me get...

Universal throttle and special tool (BB wrench) also included. Purchased from Eunorau right before they stopped selling them last year. Will ship at buyer's expense, usually around $30 via USPS. Send me a Conversation DM if interested.

Update: Electrify Bike has them for $20 inc shipping, but you gotta ask - they're not on the website.
