    Hallo ik ben Djock en nieuw hier op het forum ,bedankt om mij toe te laten .

    Respectvol, dat lijkt niet op een Bosch systeem 2-display, maar op een ouder onderdeel. Bosch-dealers kunnen tot 6 jaar na productie onderdelen leveren. Voor een ouder onderdeel kan het zijn dat je tweedehands moet kopen. Je zou de monteurs van Tweedehandsfietsen.nl kunnen vragen waar zij je...

    Thoughts on Vvolt ebikes?

    Ananda motor, presumably the M100 given the 350w/120nm rating. Moving away from Enviolo has delivered weight savings (50lb), the 3-speed IGH uses some sort of internal mechanical auto shifter with Vvolt claiming this is less fragile than a bolt-on auto shifter assembly like the 4-speed one...

    People for Bikes: Progress on Ebike Laws in the US

    I don't believe this was the intention of the bill's writers. California Senator Dave Min who sponsored SB 1271 cited Streetsforall as having written the bill, and that group supports ebike vouchers. When you search for 1271 in the transcripts of the Hearings for this session, the bill was...

    People for Bikes: Progress on Ebike Laws in the US

    If not a moped then the Motor Driven Cycle definition would need to be changed in California as currently worded it describes a bike with a gas engine. But either way you and Matt are right, it’s not practical to reclassify e-bikes as not e-bikes. Also by removing from e-bikes the current right...

    People for Bikes: Progress on Ebike Laws in the US

    I did not say that. The point Matt is making is how the bill wording appears to impose a hard peak power limit of 750w for an Ebike to be considered an electric bicycle in California after January 2025 but most Class 1-3 e-bikes sold in the US exceed that peak power limit. The implications are...

    Yamaha battery seems difficult to source and is a tad expensive....

    Yep, only a few Bionx packs left, and ebikemarketplace stopped rebuilding them as the proprietary BMS had too many failures.

    Manual brake sticking

    Phew it was the whole shebang, my adjusting the brake wire had the effect of making the caliper stick on closing and ruined the caliper, front brake pads shot, brake cable and housing needed to be replaced. Rad said wear and tear so not covered under warranty, but the shop discounted parts and...

    Yamaha battery seems difficult to source and is a tad expensive....

    I never could figure out why Yamaha batteries were so expensive over here ($1400msrp). If you go on the Rakuten Japan e-commerce site and type in Yamaha battery there are loads of JDM market ebike battery packs for about US$250. Even accounting for shipping something didn't add up. Hopefully...

    Manual brake sticking

    Thank you for the detailed procedure @spokewrench mine is going into the shop today so I’ll see how it goes. Edit: Also might be because I regularly bend the front brake cable when I fold the handlebar on my RadExpand

    Yamaha battery seems difficult to source and is a tad expensive....

    Those prices are on the Yamaha site https://www.yamahabicycles.com/promotions/ As they’re selling off inventory I wonder if you’re right and Yamaha is killing the Power Assisted Bicycles lineup for the US market? Upway are going to have to revise their pricing on used Yamaha models

    Manual brake sticking

    The front Tektro Aries manual brake on my RadExpand stopped working at the top of a hill, thankfully the motor inhibitor & rear brake was enough to bring me to a stop before I over-ran into the intersection at the bottom. The bike is 4 months old and I've put about 400 miles on the odo. I had...

    People for Bikes: Progress on Ebike Laws in the US

    No, but the solution to the e-bike fire safety problem is multi-factorial. UL compliance is one of several issues that need to be addressed, including: Congress should lower the $800 de minimis value encouraging direct-to-consumer retailers to sell e-bikes and lithium-ion batteries without...

    People for Bikes: Progress on Ebike Laws in the US

    Yes, I was reading social media posts from concerned cargo bike riders in California about SB 1271. I reprogrammed a 36v BBS01 controller to 20a so 720w peak power, and that was enough for me to tow a loaded weehoo trailer up hill, but my current daily rider is a 48v Class 2 RadExpand that I...
