It's good to have in your quiver of tools.

And local bike stores. I saw a lot of shady stores in NYC selling refurbished sketchy batteries.

Yes. It woud involve upgrading your controller (40amps+ nominal), and a new battery as your battery will need to have a BMS (40amps nominal) with a higher amperage output, and you'll need higher voltage 52V-60V. You'll probably want more Amp Hours too as you will obviously burn more energy on...

Initially, it sounds like your rotor is bent, or your brake mechanism is not alighned properly. I found this kit to be invaluable for setting up my brakes, and straightening a bent rotor. Stainless Steel Bicycle Disc Brake Wrench Rotor Alignment Truing Tool Repair Kit，Disc Brake Pad Adjustment...

Looks like commercial etsablishemnts may not sell rebuilt or reconditioned batteries that do not meet the legislative standard.

Pretty comprehensive. It also covers all those jinky bike stores that "assemble, recondition, sell or offer for sale, lease, or rent a lithium-ion battery or a second-use lithium-ion battery". The cost for batteries for all those ebike delivery guys in NYC just doubled, or tipled.

It was time to get new tires for my eMTB. Previoulsy I was using Stan's No Tubes for my tubeless sealant, which worked really well. This time I figure I might as well try something different, and the Slime Black Label for tubless tires was about 60% less expensive than Stan's. I read a few...

I don't blame you. I shy away from any kind of proprietary electronics on my bike. Sorry you had such a bad experince with the eshifter. Seems to be a major pain when it breaks down. I love the hub and could never go back to a derailler system.

I'd send your wheel to Peter White Cycles. He could install the manuall shift box on your wheel. There are only two Rohloff factory trained authorized service centers in the U.S., he's one of them. He's really good. He could do it for you. The whole operation on the wheel should only take an...

Yes, the stock grip shifter. I really like it. Very precise, has a good feel. Quickly moves through the gear steps in a snap.

that is close

Thanks. I decided against the "e-version" shifter. The web is full of owners that have problems with those units, and for MTB riding, manual control is a must. Hope you get it resolved soon.

Curious, what has failed on the Rohloff? I installed a Rohloff on my eMTB 14 months ago. Just curious.

Try reaching out to @PedalUma on the board He builds the nicest custom ebikes, and has some experience with the 500W TOSEVEN motor.

all rear hubs?

Yes, I've got a Bafang BBSHD, it is overkill, but I like overkill. I've got a 1500W Bafang Utltra MTB, and a 500W rear hub Aventon level. You will be fine with a 500W rated mid-drive.

I believe so. I've ridden several Eurpoean e-bikes, up mountain trails in Italy, that were limited to 250W "continuous" power, and they all had plenty of power for the job. I've ridden a 250W Bosch ebike on the flats in Maimi, FL. Plenty of cruising power, especially going up casuway bridges...

Aventon has the largest post-sale network of service dealers. I purchased two Aventon Levels back in 2020, when they had no dealer/service network. My two warranty claims went well. I still own one of the Levels. It has performed flawlessly since 2020.
