    I Like The OLD "Look"!

    This one is a very good example of a steam punk E-bike: https://electricbike.com/forum/forum/builds/custom-builds/55778-1925-board-track-racer-ebike-500w-8fun

    I Like The OLD "Look"!

    If it's what you prefer, you are lucky ! Just solder a parallel bar under the top one of a regular 26" wheel used bike and a boxy tank is among the easiest to do. Good luck with your search and built.

    I Like The OLD "Look"!

    I also like the old look, here are my 2 electric old bikes. One is a Greaser from Michael Blast modified to look like an Excelsior road bike and the second is an Indian board track racer 1912 tribute. https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/custom-built-board-track-racer.41036/...

    Braking on hills: scrub off speed vs riding the brakes?

    IMO don't stress you wife with that, I know my wife do it all the time, in 3 years only 50% brake pads wear. I do a lot worst with my MTB, I never had a problem and I am not alone...

    Front Derailleur to guide chain or not?

    IMO If you chain line is not over crooked and your hub doesn't exceed 9 gears, you don't need it.

    Rockstar owners

    I don't have a Rockstar but my thumb throttle is perfectly linear on my geared hub motor bike. On a mid drive with a multi speed cassette the power range is very short, IMHO that only could create this impression. It's even worse if the throttle is limited to a specific Amp to match the...

    Rockstar owners

    I have both. For a sporadic use, I prefer the thumb throttle, leaving my grips clear. On one of my bikes I use the throttle all the time, not the PAS, like a motorcycle, I use a complete twist throttle on the right grip. If you choose a twist throttle, be aware that they are generally...

    Rockstar battery charging question?

    EBR found the problem in 22 minutes, not bad ;)

    Rockstar battery charging question?

    The charger must deliver 54.6v to charge your 48v battery, at 24v the battery monitoring system of your bike doesn't recognize the charger.

    About the cassette?

    The smaller gear sprocket could not be removed, it's the lock nut of the cassette.

    Known Issues & Problems with Michael Blast Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    Yes, I did it, I also did the leather saddle top with the same leather.

    About the cassette?

    Yes you can, but you will need some special tools and change the end point of your derailleur. I removed 3 gears, skipping one, from my 9 speeds MTB cassette to improve the chain line after I replaced the front chainring...

    Ebike battery charging

    A typical 2A charge for a 10A/hr to 20A/hr battery is already a super slow charge compared to all the lithium charger around us. No benefits to go slower !

    Is it okay to charge my bike at 1 amp

    A 2A charge is already a very slow charge, 0.11C to 0.20C charge rate for most E-bike but you can charge at 1A if you want , it will take exactly twice the time to get the same charge.

    How fast is too fast for you?

    I tried to break my 60 km/h mark (37 mph) on few occasions going downhill but never succeeded, always missing by 1 or 2 km/h. I must confess that my temerity is larger than my E-bike potential.
