The 104 bcd pattern is common for mtb cranks, but I had a tough time finding one in 40t for use as a single ring without shifting ramps. As you are trying to do, I only wanted a slight increase in top end from my Sduro Trekking's stock 38t. I ended up buying one from e-bikeshop.co.uk, and it was...

Well that was predictable. I had been wondering how aluminum forks would hold up to hydraulic disks slowing down a heavy bike from 28-or-more mph. I really think ebikes should stick to steel forks.

The CarryMore system was made by Cannondale and no longer exists. I tried everything to find an adapter I could get shipped to the USA, but it was a no go. I don't think Cdale ever made or sold many of them.

It's a weirdly negative campaign with no clear picture of what looks like a kitted road bike, but otherwise seems great!

Second ride today and the experience was the same: I topped out at 25mph, and didn't really feel the need to go faster. It's very hilly around here so I'm usually under 20 up hill, or sailing down the other side at an unassisted 25-30..25 on the flats seems sufficient. I still may add the 40t...

I think throttles on mid-drives are unnecessary. My Yamaha-powered Haibike uses torque sensing, and it pulls from a stop immediately. There's simply no need to override the system to get going.

I installed Bikespeed-RS on my Sduro Trekking Yamaha today..it works! I only got to 25mph before spinning out on the stock 38t ring (I have a 40 I haven't added yet), but honestly that was plenty. I don't really need the higher top speed, it's just nice to not get to 20 and have everything drop...

I tried the tapping method, but the whole nut/bolt assembly is turning in the chainring. I still haven't found a way to break it loose. I'm not sure if this is true for Bosch motors, but my Yamaha doesn't require a special crank remover tool, it's a standard square taper crankarm. Assuming you...

I only went up two teeth from 38 to 40 so I could still use the stock chain and chainguard..we'll see if it makes enough of a difference to power the higher speed potential. But first I have to get the 38 off. I have one chainring bolt that adamantly refuses to unscrew from the nut using the...

735 was WAY too wide for me on my Trekking SL and I didn't feel comfortable doing an accurate cut, so I bought a 670 Ritchey bar with the same rise. Perfect.

It's kinda interesting as a light, electric mini velo that's easy to carry and store. I don't see the point of a singlespeed belt-drive, though..I'd opt for the derailleur chain version.

That's pretty fast! I've hit 30-ish on a descent with my Sduro Trekking, which is about the limit I'm comfortable with on what is essentially a basic 700c hybrid. It may have the hydraulic brakes to stop in a hurry from 40mph, but I'm not counting on it to have the motorcycle handling necessary...

Ah, ok. Yeah, they could've handled that better, but best to just move on.

Hmm, "3 cycles" and "removed from another bike" is not a brand new battery. It's obviously new enough to shrug your shoulders and live with it, but I hope you got, like, $50 off the price. When I pay for "brand new", I don't mean "except for it was ridden a bit and pulled a few times for a...

That looks good to me. The "test ride pedals" policy is very common in non-electric world, especially with high end road and mountain bikes. Most riders at that level feel like they're paying for an expensive pedal they don't want, so manufacturers tend to skip that step.

The graphics on the sides are designed that way. There's clearly some scratching of the "Powerpack" sticker on top, but that probably occured while being packed and shipped. I've quickly learned after a few weeks of Haibike ownership that the battery graphics are almost comically easy to mess up...

Yes, sand is very hard on bike parts, and a thick wet-lube is just going to grind it in. Honestly, I think you were better off with no lube than the stuff you ended up using. My advice would be to use a very light lube, and clean your chain regularly with one of those chain cleaner thingeys...

Yes, that will definitely help. I had no idea riser bars had gotten so wide in the last few years!

Me, too! Sduro Trekking SL,. I've had it a month or so, and swapped in a ti-rail Brooks B17 saddle, VP platform pedals, and a Carradice saddlebag. I'm completely hooked; I have a few other bikes, including front-hub-drives and non-assist, and they're all for sale. The only bike I ever want to...
