Happy New Year to you PedalUma. May the new year be our best, at least as far as getting people out of gassers.

Well, power up your bike, hit the throttle, and see which way the wheel turns. If it turns backwards power down and plug the learning wires together. Power up and if the wheel turns smoothly the right way, power down and unplug the learning wires. If it doesn't turn right, repeat. That's my...

The two white wires might be a learning circuit. Do they fit together?

If you want to go fast get an emoto. Otherwise, increase the voltage for speed and amps for torque. Which most likely would require a new controller and battery. Personally, I think a motorcycle with pedals is a sign of lunacy.

The true nutters are those who think our global civilization has no effect on the planet earth.

As they say it's possible, but it is not realistic. It's going to take more energy in than you get out, and nobody is doing it to actually make usable amounts of jet fuel.

Bullsh*t!

Never heard of them, but then I did a search. What a long, strange trip GT bikes has been on!

The old Atlas-Imperial diesel would specify two men on a four foot bar, sometimes two men and a boy for critical torquing 🤪. Wrenches have been sized for an average man's pull for a long time. It was just learning how much to pull. In most stuff hex screws were rare until maybe the seventies...

I never needed mirrors on a fast motorcycle, other than checking for cops on my tail. They eventually skooled me out of that bad habit. Your bike looks to be a capable motorbike, except for the pedals.

I have decommissioned a few bicycles over the recent years. I strip anything useful then take them down to their elemental form. Then off to the recycle bin. Breaking up cheap bikes has sure given me a grudge against a bicycle made up of bottom self components. Not worth the time to touch, but...

I buy beautiful twenty-year-old bicycles from a charity for next to nothing and put motors on them. Some I fix to pedal like this one from the mid-2000's. It had only a couple of hundred miles on it! I am of the belief that the ebike trend has cratered the market for conventional bicycles. It's...

I rode bicycles from 5 to 13. At that age we became cool, walked around smoking cigarettes and riding on the bus. Didn't even know an adult could ride a bicycle, because that never happened. Bikes were for children, but then the first Earthday happened and bicycles were cool. Pumped up the...

At 72 I live life with the benefits from decades of pedaling a bike. Though, it would be of benefit for the kid to get off the couch and ride an ebike. It would be even more beneficial if they actually pedaled. We live in a sedentary world.

How things change. When I was 16 we just got motorcycles. Life was so much simpler, I guess.

I bought an ebike for my son when he was 15 after he dropped out of high school. He's been employed ever since, though he now has a car. That was 8 years ago.

It needs a mid-drive into a differential. Just crap having one power wheel on a quad.

That's because that is what it is, a small motorcycle that happens to have pedals. Personally, I feel that motorcycles with pedals are stopid.

Doubt if you will get a response. The original poster hasn't posted in a year and a half.

I put a mid-drive (BBSO2) on this Trek 7.2. It's a 30+mph ebike and I quickly learned the need of front suspension, so I installed a suspension fork (Rockshox Paragon). And once you have front suspension you'll feel the need of rear suspension. So I installed a Suntour suspension seat post.
