    Generic MD 1000 and HD 750 ebike model discussion

    Yeah, it's an interesting bike and the Brose motor/Enviolo AUTOMATiQ Transmission with Belt drive is great shifting and incredibly quiet. It seems even quieter than an analog bike. Funny thing to praise, but the noise level of the Bafang Ultra was always annoying to me. As for the Leili and the...

    It's not what I am saying, it was direct from Yeili. They refunded me right away so no harm, no foul. I found my new ebike yesterday. It's the Harley Davidson Serial 1. I got the top of the line model Rush/City Speed which has much to like about it including a $1000 Black Friday discount that...

    New Serial 1 RUSH/CTY Speed

    I have been looking for another ebike which is difficult in the crazy market and was browsing many Threads here and considering several options but had never heard of the Harley Davidson Serial 1. Last night, I out found that a local LBS had just picked up the Serial 1 line and checking their...

    I just cancelled my MD 1000 order. Apparently the CANBuss controller on the new Bafang Ultra motors is speed limited to 20mph. The ability to unlock the controller or at minimum, set it up as unlocked from the factory was important for me. While that limitation might help sales in the European...

    It is moderately hilly. On my 50 mile rides I climb 2500-3200 feet total (I have an app on my phone that records all ride info including elevation. 40 miles is an easy get with the dual batteries even with some hill climbing. Lower levels of assist, maintaining pedaling effort and shifting gears...

    One of the reasons I was asking about the speed settings on the new CanBuss Ultra motor models is compliance. If you remove the throttle (easy to do) and set your max speed to the applicable limit, you would be able to ride just about anywhere that any ebike is allowed to ride. There are some...

    Hi and welcome. @Terry777 was the first to get one of the MD 1000 bikes and he's in Scotland. Haven't heard from him in a while... I'm pretty sure there are others in GB but can't recall any names. As to the range, you can ride full out throttle only and get to 40+ miles. I found that 50 miles...

    Thanks for the comprehensive reply. The future speed limitations that could be imposed by geo tracking seem a bit Orwellian. In my city, the bike trails go in and out of city limits making a city designation arbitrary. I get that speed limits on bike trails are helpful for safety reasons but in...

    That is interesting. So you are able to view the settings in the setup menu but can't make changes? I believe a double press of the power button gets you into the settings menu.

    Anyone know if the current MD1000 with Bafang Ultra uses the Canbuss controller. I think Kyle from Bolton mentioned in a video or podcast that the new version Warthog MD 1000's with the Ultra Motor will have a 20mph limit. I'd be ok with it as long as I can still access top speed settings and...

    Kiox Heart Rate Monitors

    I was looking into heart monitors for the Kiox when I heard about Oura rings. I have the original version and the latest version 3 model out this month has a lot of great features including a heart rate monitor function while walking/running/riding. My current version only monitor's heart rate...

    Sorry, missed this. It's 30.9mm. I ordered the 27.2mm in the 400mm length as I needed the extra length and also ordered the 27.2 to 30.9 adaptor ... Since this order I have installed the Suntour on 3 other ebikes. They are a really good bang for buck suspension seatpost.

    No, the inline connector I was referring to was the one you use to disconnect the motor when removing the back wheel. Leili's suggestion of checking the brake sensor at the brakes is a good next step. Sorry but I don't have the bike anymore so I'm relying on my 70 Y/O memory and it's a little...

    The bike comes with a motor cut off when applying the brakes and I believe, when shifting. The motor cut off connection is in line with motor cable near the motor and it needs to be unplugged to remove the rear wheel. I bet that connection is the issue ...

    MD 1000 with Rohloff Speed Hub & Gates Belt Drive

    Yesterday I pulled the trigger on the MD 1000 Rohloff bike. I've had such a great experience with the Rohloff and I believe that the Ultra motor, Gates Belt Drive Rohloff Speed Hub will be a fantastic combination. I see that Bikonit is only offering the MD 1000 in that configuration so they...

    MD 1000 with Rohloff Speed Hub & Gates Belt Drive

    I know Yeili has 50 of the Rohloff 500/14 Speed Hub equipped MD 1000's being built and I'm wondering if anyone here has ordered this bike with the Rohloff option? I have a bike with that drive train although mine is electric shift with a chain drive vs the manual shift Gates belt drive on the MD...

    No kidding, you can get the exact same bike with the Rohloff Speed Hub 14 belt drive for the same money. No brainer ... BTW, that Rohloff 14 with it's over 500% gear range and the Ultra motor should make the MD a monster climber and, bump the unlocked controller version to some very high...

    Water bottles

    These SKS bottles work great and allow a top of the top tube installation. The mounting strap is long enough to go around the double battery top tube. That said, I'm very tall and had no clearance issues but when standing over the bike the water bottle was dangerously close to my schnutz. If...
