    Salzmann 3M Spoke Reflectors for Bicycles

    I got some for my bike that has no reflective stripe on the tires. I rode it in front of my security camera and the difference is night and day. A had the regular single reflector in the spokes and now the multiple reflectors are larger and brighter, and show the wheels shape. They instantly...

    Xpedition Auxiliary Battery

    I got the orange battery bag. It fits the Reention Dorado ID Plus battery plus the original shipping foam plus a charger perfectly. It fits snug in my 21 gallon tote that fits in the Xpeditions Orbiter rear rack

    Xpedition Auxiliary Battery

    Thanks for the replies. I don't feel any balance issues due to the battery being on one side. I would like to attach my other Dorado on the opposite side on long trips to keep the weight low. The bike is harder to get up on the kickstand because of the extra weight and the small tires. I have...

    Xpedition Auxiliary Battery

    Now I need a padded case for the spare Dorado battery. I have the padded shipping box it came in, but it's too big to fit in my storage tote. This is heavier and more money than I want to spend:

    Xpedition Auxiliary Battery

    I had two Dorado batteries I wanted to use on my Lectric Xpedition so I built this: I unplugged the rear OEM battery holder and plugged in the Dorado. It's working great, my 17.5Ah Dorado plus one of the original batteries went 50% further than the two original batteries. I then have two more...

    20” x 3” E-bike tires

    p.s. The range is much lower with all the moped tires, but they are much thicker, and I worry less about flats. Who wants to get far from home and get a flat?

    20” x 3” E-bike tires

    I don't think the Shinkos were nonround. The xpedition wheels definitely were/are. I did some adjustments to the wheel so now its not one large lump, its two smaller ones. I switched to a lighter tire at the same time so it improved a lot. The Shinkos seemed very grippy, they made a subtle...

    20” x 3” E-bike tires

    The Sava MC2 moped tire - 2.50-16 is about 3" wide on a 2" wide rim(inside width) and similar diameter to the xpedition OEM tire. It's heavy at 1.87kg, but is rated 42J, 330lb@62mph. https://www.treatland.tv/sava-MC2-moped-tire-p/sava-mc2-16x2.5.htm The Sava 2.75-16 will fit on the Xpedition...

    20" Rims

    My existing hubs are odd sized, so I can't easily change the wheels. This is an ebike so I'm not sure how to put the existing hub motor into a new mag wheel.

    20" Rims

    I am looking for a 20" rim and not finding much. It has to be 36 hole and about 35mm inside width. That's about 42-45mm outside width. I have 12 gauge spokes so 4.8mm nipple holes. I want it to be welded, double walled, and very heavy duty. Black color, Schrader valve, and low price would...

    Xpedition review.

    I got one. The original tire weighs 1.27kg and the rim is 50mm inside width. I did some tire swapping and the xpeditions rims diameter seem small. The original tire came off super easy. The new tire came off another bike where it was tight. That tire was difficult to remove from that bike but...

    Most lightweight and portable 48v charger?

    My 2A Lectric charger is the heaviest, and runs the coolest, of four chargers I have. It weighs 650g including a 3' cord. This 3A charger has a noisy fan, but is the lightest of the four, at 450g...

    "Current-based" cadence-sensing from Ride1up

    I just went on a very windy ride. My Ride1Up 500 does give full power at any cadence. There is no speed limit per PAS level, only a global limit which is fixed at 45kph on PAS. The throttle speed limit is adjustable. It does have a couple of seconds acceleration ramp after the cranks turn a...

    "Current-based" cadence-sensing from Ride1up

    I meant to say the number of PAS levels and their percents are programmable. You can choose 3,5,7, or 9 levels. Each level is programmable 1-100% if I recall.

    "Current-based" cadence-sensing from Ride1up

    I have a Ride1Up 500 Series bike. What they are describing is not new. The PAS levels and are programmable, so I chose 7 levels that I set at 10%, 15, 22, 33,50,75, and 100%. When on the 100% PAS level the wattage display goes up to 1040W with a fully charged battery and 900something watts on a...
