    ebikes and headwinds

    My 5 year old Haibike w/ Yamaha 60 NM of torque bike performs poorly in a strong wind, either that or I'm really weak. Enter my new Rize RX bike with bafang ultra motor and now headwinds don't exist as presented to the bike. It's a wonderful thing.

    Ultra Chainring Swap?

    7075 alloy is good stuff, don't know if ali tempers it or even if it's really 7075 to begin with. Hopefully your long term testing will give us some answers. The sprocket I received may very well have worked o.k. but just by looking at it I decided not to use it. I'm sure these things are made...

    Ultra Chainring Swap?

    Aluminum is too soft. I'm sure these Ali sprockets are some kind of alloy but nothing lasts and holds it's shape like real steel. The difference in teeth on the ali sprocket was visible to the naked eye. Honesty it probably would have worked o.k. but it wasn't quality that's for sure. Maybe they...

    Ultra Chainring Swap?

    LOL.. the garbage man took it today. No great loss. I'm hoping greenbikekit can provide a good steel 48 tooth chainring but I've been waiting awhile. Some of the teeth were higher than others on the ali chainring and no, I'm not confusing narrow/wide for poor machining.

    Ali chainring was poorly machined. Well worth two dollars though! :)

    Ultra Chainring Swap?

    I've been in touch w/ greenbikekit and they are going to get me a compatible 48 tooth chainring to replace the 44 tooth. With it I shouldn't have to use 9th gear any longer with it's few teeth prone to stripping w/ prolonged use. The chainrings from aliexpress are junk

    750mi. report, Rize RX

    I got my RIze RX about six weeks ago and have now put over 750mi. on it. No failures to date but a few observations. The bike will run over 30mph with the throttle but I don't like using it do to increased drive train wear and increased battery drain. The 15 AH 52 Volt battery is good for a...

    Changed my mind about my Gear Shift Sensor today - Disconnected it.

    I don't see the point of a shift detector if it can't accommodate for the motor after run. I haven't tried a shift while pedaling but if I stop pedaling, the motor is still running for a second, shift and CRUNCH! Either it's too slow or just doesn't know the motor is running

    Ultra Chainring Swap?

    Can't find the order right now, must not be in the system yet. Dang, I forgot to check that this chainring is for 9 speed. Oh well, if it isn't, no great loss

    Changed my mind about my Gear Shift Sensor today - Disconnected it.

    I have a Rize RX with bafang ultra and shift detector. The cutout doesn't seem to take into account the motor decay/overrun so shifts are loud and not nice. I've learned to wait until the overrun stops to shift otherwise I think the drivetrain would be destroyed. I don't know, maybe the shifts...
