@Asher, have you checked the tightness of the small lock screw, usually on the bottom of the throttle mount? I have seen overtight lock screws cause the stickiness. Also agree with Fran's post: a throttle lacking a thin spacer to keep it from rubbing on a handlebar grip could be an issue or the...

Alphbetadog, I think your statement is a little overreaching. Most real shops that want to stay in business for long do handle warranty issues and service the product they sell, otherwise they would be no different than a warehouse biz. There are some who sell ebikes as a sideline and don't...

Talk with that local bike shop and see if there's some negotiating room on the bike price. Most shops have a little wiggle room on the price and want to keep you as a long term customer. Rather than just judge one call to REI, go there in person and speak with the bike dept. manager about how...

If regenerative braking is one of your desires, rudym, you need to purchase a direct drive hub motor system. Golden Motor & Crystalyte (the Crown model) both make non-geared hub motor systems that are reliable, offer regen and have plenty of torque. With the Golden Motor Magic Pie systems the...

rawB, most hub motors are already laced into the wheel and aren't very expensive; however, the Bafang mid drive motors are nice & powerful (I have one bike with that setup). Lucky you with the below the frame mount to distribute the weight. I was thinking you would have all of that weight out in...

@phillro, I've found the Whyte E-Bikes company website and it appears to be A UK design with a Shimano Steps mid drive system. There are some international distributors and one US distributor. Seems though that most of the action is in the UK and Ireland with the home site links still primarily...

@rawB & Mike; we've had the opportunity to convert a couple of tadpole Catrikes at my workshop in the last year and they were some of the most comfortable and stable trikes ever. We chose rear hub motors to do the conversions which provided a nice balance of front & rear weight with the battery...

Rincon, where are you cycling that those resorts are??!! That sounds like a fabulous weekend away :cool: And to answer the OP's question, for commuting to work, I take my charger but put it in a super duty ziplock bag. For fun rides; I just watch my battery gauge. You get to know what amount of...

Like the modular battery; I know folks are hoping this is a way to get around the ban on flying with large Lithium batteries.

Nice choices, Mike!. Looking forward to hearing more about your rides on both and of course :cool: lots of pictures. Last year clearances are a super way to buy new bikes.

Actually, do a search on the main EBR reviews site where you can select a detailed search with options for match what you might be interested in. Also, @Bengeemary, make a post in our "Help Choosing an EBike" forum for a lot of experienced help figuring out the nuances of so many great ebikes...

Where's your operation Domino's guy? Depending upon where you live, that per hour rate may or may not cover basic bills. BTW, this is advertising so moving your thread to the Dealers Promotions & For Sale section :). Also, what are the obligations of the ebike "driver" for the ebike...

My experience ordering a number of Hoverboard scooters from an Alibaba supplier went reasonably well with the supplier responding reasonably quickly to issues we had with one that arrived damaged. Be sure to choose a supplier that has a high ranking with a lot of recorded sales. Also, be sure to...

No ebike is perfect, this is a thread dedicated to sharing known issues or problems with electric bikes from Velec as well as any help and solutions you know of. Sometimes that means a DIY fix and other times it can mean a recall, software update or part replacement by a dealer. Please be...

Voltbike has some good folding bikes that aren't expensive and are durable; plus they're located in Canada, so that might save some time & $$. BTW all of these folding ebikes will be 36 or 48V so if you want to charge the battery on your plane you will need an inverter to change the 12V to 36 or...

dean1, Prodeco Tech went through it's share of production issues when they first started up and had a very difficult time meeting dealers' expectations for delivery, with multi-month delays like what is frustrating Juiced Bike owners. However, they have focused on managing production at their...

@dean1, I think you might be misunderstanding what Ravi wrote. As an ebike dealer & repair center for 17 years, we've dealt with pre-order issues that are a result of the time it takes to ramp up production and deal with the initial bugs that pop up in first run bikes. It's not a dealer's...

Don't even go there on the uneven spoking @Rakku! The torque of the hub motor starting would pull that uneven lacing apart. Bafang and most other hub motor manufacturers use 36 hole setups for the additional strength it provides. And yes, it's a royal pain to locate decent replacement rims if...

@xracer34, just curious what gear you are in when starting from a dead stop at PAS 3? If you are in a really high gear or climbing a hill from a dead stop in a high gear this might be stress on the motor. Another thought, have you checked the voltage on your battery. It's common for a hub motor...
