On a ride today, I got an error on my 2018 BH Rebel Lynx bike with a Yamaha PW-X motor. I am in the USA. The error pops up with a red light, and a message to check the speed sensor magnet. The motor power then cuts out. I can turn the motor off and on again, and it will work fine for between...

Couple things to consider for early spring - The carriage roads are closed for mud season for most of spring. The park will announce suddenly on the website when the carriage roads are open again. It is usually sometime in May. If you wait until they reopen in May to book your hotel, you will...

I would call the hotel you are interested in and check if they will let you bring a bike inside. The Bar Harbor Villager, Inn at Mount Desert, and Acadia Hotel Downtown had no problem letting me bring a bike inside. The Hampton Inn actually gave me a lot of pushback, said that due to fire code...

I actually lucked out with the Hampton Inn pricing when I stayed mid-May this year. I booked the hotel in the winter when the country was on covid lockdown for an absurdly low rate of around $100/night. When I went back in September, the hotel was over $500/night - way too much. I stayed at the...

Just returned from another trip to Acadia and it was glorious. It has to be the best eBiking destination that I know of in the Northeast. From the town of Bar Harbor, you can easily bike into the park, avoiding the main trafficked roads, and enjoy 45 miles of hilly carriage roads for biking...

If your towing an RV, it may just be easiest to travel with the bikes in the RV. I do not believe there is a solution to traveling with a heavy eBike on a crossbar that sits above a tonneau cover. I have spent much time looking for a commercially available product. I do not believe one exists.

Thank you. Battery shows no deformities whatsoever. How do you suggest I check to make sure battery works? Put it in the bike and take it for a ride, or try to charge it? When I hold the button for 20 seconds to assess battery capacity, I first get one blinking LED, then all four LEDs light...

I called Yamaha and they told me that they do not have any specific information about the max temperature a battery can be subjected to. This information is not in the manual either. It does, however, state that the batter gets hot while charging, between 104 and 158 degrees, so don’t touch it...

I have a bike with the Yamaha PW X motor and external downtube battery. I realized today that my wife left the battery in the backseat of the car for about 48 hours. Car is parked outside during the heat wave. It has been extremely hot lately. Temperature nearing 100, with heat index, 110...

A couple years ago, if I wanted a new acoustic bike, I would order from Trek Bicycle Superstore in San Diego, or Bicycle Blue Book. These locations have dried up. I am just looking for a fitness hybrid bike for less than 500 USD that I can lock up and not be overly worried about it getting...

I initially bought these tetraracks for my full suspension mountain bike with a dropper post. There are very few options for racks for full suspension bikes. As you said, the rack flexes from side to side, and bounces and contacts the tire. The rack is attached to the frame using velcro. The...

Welcome! Tyler State park is a fine place to break-in your new eBike. The Delaware canal path is a fantastic ride. The whole stretch from Bristol to Easton on the PA side is great. The lake path at Peace Valley park is a great little ride. Take a trip up to the lehigh gorge state park on a nice...

Went up 55% the following day. Don't own any myself

If BH is ever planning on re-entering the North American market, they will have to answer to those individuals who bought their bikes, with the promise of a 5 year warranty on the motor/battery/electronics, and then pulled the plug with no help for those needing warranty support. Frankly, as a...

I would only buy an eBike with a bosch, yamaha, or shimano system.

I can't quite see where that MoTow rack attaches to the bicycle? Just a couple ratcheting straps through the wheels?

Be patient and wait for this rack to hit the market. It has a loading ramp. Should be best in class https://quikrstuff.com/

What is that black diamond trail like? I have ridden the lehigh gorge state park from Jim Thorpe to White Haven many times, but not ventured further North than White Haven. Is the Black Diamond trail in good condition? Does it go all the way to Wilkes Barre?

Rock and roll gold lube plus a topeak tune up stand X gets the job done for me!

Thanks a lot @6zfshdb and @J.R. Seems my best bet for this week is to stick to my local trail - the D&L canal towpath. The stretch from Washington Crossing PA up to the Nockamixon Cliffs is a great ride, and worth the trip!
