Moving production of motors & lithium cells (remember where the largest mines of lithium ore are, not here) and all sorts of bike components is not an overnight project. It takes years to build a major production plant; particularly one handling as sensitive a material as a lithium cell. If...

It's a cute mini-bike, won't have much range with a 36V 6Ah battery; however, if you're using it to get around after a train or bus ride, it would be fairly compact. Do expect the price to be about 50% higher due to the upcoming tariff on ebikes. Wonder about parts availability and repairs...

That is just awesome beach (and the riders, too ;)). Is everybody on an electric bike?

@Yukon 500, consider getting the battery rebuilt instead of purchasing a replacement. The cost is generally less than new and there are several companies & individuals who could install a quality set of Sony, Panasonic, LG or Samsung cells, probably with a higher capacity which would improve...

@Byron, A2B has been out of business for a while, so it's possible that "new" battery you bought wasn't really new. We haven't been able to get parts from them for a couple of years, unfortunately. Find an ebike shop that can measure the voltage of the battery and check your charger. There could...

Welcome to EBR, @DJK! Just wondering how much assistance you need from your trike and how far you're thinking of riding and a little about the terrain. The Raliegh/IZip Trike has a 350watt mid drive and 36V 11.5ah Li Battery and the Pedego Trike has a smaller 250watt front hub motor also with a...

The cold temperature of your battery may be the reason the motor is chugging when first started or on hills. Perhaps storing the battery indoors overnight or when you're done riding will help. Also, consider a cover for your battery while riding on a colder day; neoprene seems to be a good...

Definitely all of the above; however, the author might just be a wee bit jealous and not really hating the ebikes quite so much as you think ;) Good read, though.

Very disturbing situation, particularly if you understand that the 25% tariff ends up being much more due to costs charged by customs processors to collect the tariff. This is something our shop has already experienced when importing some items from China. This article does not make it clear...

We all understand that someone can have a difficult experience with a manufacturer; however, it is not fair for people who have received a fair resolution with full $$ refunded to continue to berate that company. This is not what EBR is here for. When the majority of folks have a good experience...

@Falco Support, Rakesh, thanks for taking the time to answer all of those questions. We're all looking forward to @HarryB's posts as he builds the 'bent :)

@ccstelmo, not sure which number you were calling, I just spoke with them a couple of weeks ago and ordered parts for a repair we're doing on a ProdecoTech bike. Use 800-943-6190, Mon- Fri 9am-5pm EST. Usually a receptionist picks up; ask to speak with Luis, their tech specialist. You will need...

Yeah, Rakesh is very sharp and good communicating with customers. I've known him since his days at E+. And yes, that is an older BionX system. We've installed a couple of these on other recumbents; very easy, straightforward install with good support from BionX. We're all hoping they find a...

I'm locking this thread to prevent further misinformation and hopefully, prevent someone from being taken advantage of.

jwt355, many banks decline foreign purchases like this without a verbal confirmation from the card's owner. Please read the info from ScamAdvisor above, go to that site for details. This is NOT a legit company.

WARNING to @daytriker, @jwt355, @John from Connecticut, @rich c, THIS IS A POTENTIAL SCAM Site, DO NOT give out your credit card info or wire $$. Please take a look at this info on ScamAdvisor.com, there's very little legitimate info available on this Chinese based site, no phone#: (Link...

Very sleek, comfortable 'bent, HarryB! Looking forward to hearing how the Falco system works for you. I'm impressed with the features and power it offers.

Breaking would be the wrong word to use; mid drives can do something called "chain suck" where the chain is jammed on the small drive gear if the motor is not disengaged during a shift. Most quality mid drive motors have shift sensors now which helps to prevent this issue. Chain wear can be an...

Think he might mean the Cozy Trike. We have worked on a couple of Cozy bikes at the shop, not a brand that I would recommend. Problems with the controllers, etc.

Good to hear that VEB got you up and riding again so quickly!
