That’s a cool idea for HSA use. Never thought of that. I had a total knee replacement a good while back from a motorcycle accident that smashed my knee. I get around ok but standing for any length of time or walking a lot kills my knee. Knee is new but all the bone it attaches to was badly...

People don’t pay attention to speed limits for cars and motorcycles now. Really think those reckless bicyclist will change their ways by enacting speed limits? Won’t happen and will only fill the coffers of local municipalities assuming they have staffing to even enforce such? Don’t need more...

Unless your LBS just has more business than they can stand, to turn away repair business if your shop is qualified to perform such is just plain stupid. Money is money so turning away a customer regardless where the bike was purchased is bad business. Repairs and bike maintenance also sells...

Good ol lighter fluid generally works. Put a cloth on the back side of the oil/grease stain and squirt the fluid on the stain then rinse with water. Might test a inconspicuous spot first. I’ve had good luck with grease spots using this method.

I’m a born and bread Texan, proud of it. Don’t hold it against me. I‘m not a redneck, don’t drive a truck, wear a cowboy hat or own a horse and until this whole thread started had no idea what roll coal even meant? Do believe in the 2nd amendment and for those of us who have passed some training...

Good deal. Fuses are generally more for a shorted condition than a surge to avoid a fire condition. There are slow blow fuses and quick blow fuses depending on needs. If a fuse problem happens again might be worth investigating why? Under normal use conditions we should not really have fuse...

Check the main battery connections for voltage based on if you have a 36, 48 or 52v battery. Zero volts you have an internal problem that could be a fuse or a BMS issue. If you see voltage at the battery you have another issue to trace down.

Keep in mind too that batteries need several cycles to get cells all balanced and equal. The first couple of charges may not yield best battery use. Ride and charge fully and the cells should improve for best performance.

No thanks. Can’t leave my gun toting state of Texas. We are the most armed state in the country ready for the zombie apocalyps.

I’m good with folks having a choice, but, how many times have we seen on the news a person who is hospitalized with COVID saying they wish they had gotten the vaccine? I’ve been down on a motorcycle before and had I not had my helmet on, probably would not be typing this. Unless I’m testing a...

I’m sort of interested in the booster too, just from an electronic standpoint. To increase voltage generally a transformer is required and that increase usually cost you some current. No free ride typically so wonder how your battery performance will compare before boosted to after boosted?

Roller clutch bearing maybe? I assume our Ultra motor has a RCB bearing to allow us to freewheel as needed. If the sprocket is no longer fully locked to the crank at all times that bearing may be going out.

You looked at the Biktrix Ultra Duo model? 1000w mid-drive, 52v duel battery capable, beach style cruiser bars available, speeds in excess of 30mph, class 3, has a rack and fenders. I have one, same age as you, I use it for around town commuting to the store for small items, milk runs and the...

Don’t see forged cranks as even being needed. You have die forgings and hand forgings. Forgings just get the metal grain going in desire directions for structural reasons. Then you still need to machine the forging to shape. High speed machines are cheap enough now to machine from an aerospace...

Wow. Know auto repair shops that are less than $100 an hour. Would have never guessed a bicycle shop could command that kind of rate. Maybe there is such thing as an ASE type of certified bike mechanic who has been to school and had lots of training?

I ordered motor gaskets from this place. After a week or so I emailed them to inquire if my order had shipped. They replied back fairly quick with order status and shipping date. Got what I ordered within a few weeks. Back order as previously mentioned does sound plausible for your order.

You really need to determine voltage of the battery. Have you pulled the battery off and looked for stickers or anything telling you its 36v, 48v or 52v? If your gonna sell it, no real need to get a fancy multi voltage programmable charger for that’s an overkill. You should be able to find...

Left over from my motorcycle days I use a kryptonite cable cycle lock. Used it on cycle over night trips where I would lock to another Harley so 2 bikes are connected. It’s a 1/2~5/8 inch steel flexible cable that is coated so nothing is scratched. Probable no longer made currently. Sort of a...

I’ve only been riding Ebikes for a few months and yes my Ultra has a throttle if needed. Getting across busy roads in route to the park I ride at is about the only time I use it. I did not get an Ebike to cheat, but to exercise so I don’t get fat and can continue drinking beer at times...

I’m in Arlington so not far. New member too and only had my Ultra a few months.
