Lithium batteries on electric wheelchairs are certified under an ISO standard. The ADA thread established e-bikes can be considered an "other power driven mobility device" (OPDMD). However E-bikes used as OPDMD's would still be subject to whatever regulations CPSC and states adopt: UL 2849 &...

I got an email from Justin Lemire-Elmore at Grin Tech in response to my question are there any UL compliant DIY kits coming “we will have UL2271 certification of our LiGo 10X batteries once those are ready for release. The UL 2849 is a standard for complete ebikes not discrete parts, so...

I was rooting around last night and typed Bafang into the SGS directory of certified products and it seems Bafang had a bunch of their hub motor and OEM mid-drives certified to UL 2849, but not their DIY BBS mid-drives yet unfortunately since it looks like they wont do it unless a N.American...

I'm not up on the power capacity of the electrical outlets fitted to every seat row in Amtrak Coach class but this Amtrak sub-Reddit thread suggests 120w and up to 20A I expect Amtrak are concerned about the possibility of riders carrying removeable e-bike batteries that are poorly built...

Yes, albeit a bit sad for me as I was hoping to keep running on my DIY ebike for longer. I'm starting a new commute in the spring so was already looking at buying an OEM folding ebike to take on the train. I was planning to donate my current DIY ebike to the local Bike Co-Op but now it looks...

The thread blowing up on the Ebikes sub-Reddit about bike shop insurance implies its only a matter of time before UL certification is written into personal liability renters & home owners insurance.

Ultimately its up to the Conductor on the train who has the final word what is allowed on board.

Amtrak changed their policy for Electric Bikes on trains earlier this month, now requiring them to be "certified by a nationally recognized testing laboratory" https://www.amtrak.com/bring-your-bicycle-onboard The wording isn't there but this implies only e-bikes that are certified to meet...

The Ebikes sub-Reddit forum has a thread that blew up yesterday after a US bike shop owner posted a photo of a letter he received from his shop insurer, warning of an unaffordable rise in insurance premiums obliging his shop to stop working on non-UL 2849 certified e-bikes. Comments from other...

Oh man that’s too bad. @Coralee because you just bought the bike, perhaps you can swap it for another model with belt drive and the new Smart System the dealer has in stock, do they carry Gazelle bikes by chance? I like the new Gazelle Avignon, Arroyo, and Ultimate C380 models, and those bikes...

Hello, I have only a manual twist controller on my Enviolo hub. Given your bike is using a new Bosch Smart System with Kiox display I assume the Enviolo Automatiq functions are controlled on the bike through the Bosch LED remote, or via the Bosch eBike Flow app. With the separate stand alone...

Depends how the trailer hitch attaches to the bike. I could see an issue if you had a hub motor with a power cable coming out the end would prevent you using a Thule axle hitch mount. Also a mid-drive makes it easier to fix a flat. I notice the Kalkhoff Endeavour 1.b uses a Bosch Gen 3 motor...

I wrote this post on my Adelaide trip https://forums.electricbikereview.com/threads/dewey-down-under.54684/post-631079 Looking at the photos I recall there was an EV event featuring ebike test rides in mid-November at Campbelltown Memorial Oval. Might be worth keeping an eye out if they run it...

Hello, I visited Adelaide in November and rented a folding ebike from Cit-E-Cycles to ride along the Torrens Linear park trail. You're right to try out hub vs mid-drive motor with a torque sensor, either the Reid or XDS sound reasonable, and deliver similar 80 nm torque to the 36v Bafang BBS01...

I‘m interested in trying out folding bikes so yesterday I took a test ride on the Pedego Latch V2. My first time on a 500w hub motor ebike. Riding up hill I found the Latch V2 had plenty of power to go up hill at 15mph which is the programmed speed limit for the cadence PAS, just pedaling the...

Good to know, thanks. Makes sense for a defunct brand (ProdecoTech) to buy the Serial 1 brand to get back in the game. That would make at least 5 brands with e-bike final assembly lines in the US from imported frames and parts: Electric Bike Company, Pedego, Day6, Motivate (Lyft ebikeshare...

Wash Cycle is a commercial laundry that services Hospitals, Hotels, and University campuses in Washington, DC, Philadelphia, and Boston, I've seen their bike riders towing 3-4 trailers in a cargo train. But laundry is lightweight, whereas this solution seems to be for heavier cargo. I wonder if...

https://www.bicycleretailer.com/industry-news/2023/11/22/serial-1-started-harley-davidson-sold-lev-manufacturing BRAIN report the Serial 1 brand has been sold to LEV Manufacturing, Inc, who have ambitions to onshore final assembly in the US.

Halfords may be one of the few UK retailers who can source the parts. Assuming your bike has the SR Suntour Hesc system.

Take it to Halfords, they should be able to diagnose the problem and source replacement parts. The Halfords warranty on electrical components differs between 1-2 years depending on the brand, but all batteries are covered for up to 2 years, they do say not to repair yourself but to take it to...
