How does one check the battery health status?

I am running the max tire pressure - around 35 psi. When I am riding in a lower gear (bigger cog), even a cog in the middle of the range, I find the motor power really drops off. I am spinning, cadence above 75-80, and there is a big reduction in motor assistance vs. a lower cadence. Thus my...

I think this thread illustrates how hard it is for small eBike businesses to exist in America. The demand for eBikes here in the US just isn't there. Few people even know what an eBike is. Those that do, but it based on price above all else. This thread is now one of the longest on this forum...

Forgot to include: Total weight of myself + bike + gear = 205 pounds.

I have a new bike with a Yamaha PW-X Motor and 500wH Yamaha battery. On today's ride, I began with 92% charge. The expected range, on the high power setting, was 51 miles at the start of my trip. I rode a total of 28 actual miles, and ended my day with 10% charge remaining. Therefore, I got...

My primary bike is a BH Rebel Lynx full suspension. As a result of the recent clearinghouse on BH bikes (thanks @FlatSix911 ), I now have a spare battery to bring around with me. I am thinking what the best option is to carry it around, and come here for advice. Obviously carrying the battery...

I figure if I get 3 years of solid use out of my bike (BH Rebel Lynx fully) I will be happy. However, as a new e-bike owner, I have found that all the accessories/add-ones quickly add up in price! These should outlast my current eBike, and then paying for a shiny new one in a few years won't be...

My Rebel Lite 27.5 also has a front wheel that is badly out of true. What tools do I need to fix this? Do I need a wheel truing stand like this park one? https://www.parktool.com/product/home-mechanic-wheel-truing-stand-ts-8?category=Wheel%20Truing%20Stands

Thank you for the link. I like these. Is the mirror angle fully adjustable? I have the Jones H-bars with 45 degree backsweep - not sure if they would work.

I like these, which mirrors are they?

My handlebars have the diameter of 22.2mm. If the Ergotec M-99 clamp is also this diameter, can I mount the M-99 mirror on the inside of the grips? I'm not understanding why the M-99 won't work on the inside of the bars. Also, is there any swivel/rotating feature on the M-99? I have the Jones...

Can you please explain how to use the cargo net to wrap the bike cover while driving, to stop it billowing in the wind?

Thanks everybody for the feedback - this is what I am worried about too - blowing into bearings/electrical components. I have been using a microfiber towel but it is hard to get into all the nooks and crannies. Somebody mentioned a no-water wax after washing as a way to combat water, are they...

Are you just sitting the rack in the bed of the truck? If so, how is that any different from just standing the bike up in the bed, with no rack?

Hi all, I watched a video about cleaning your eBike, and a big comment was that you should always dry it before bringing it inside, or any water from your garden hose left on the motor areas will lead to rust. I was thinking about getting this portable, affordable leaf blower from home depot to...

I notice a lot of pro bike products are flagrant ripoffs of other companies stuff. They also say they have superior service etc...red flag in my book.

I wonder how many miles one can get out of a yamaha pwx motor? I've only had mine a month ( in winter) and I'm over 300 miles. Going to go up rapidly come spring.

Very good, thank you. Is it safe to use a garden hose on a light spray to wash down the bike? What I have been doing is removing the battery, wrapping the battery terminal in kitchen cling wrap, and then hosing down the bike. I hope that won't damage anything? What do you think about...

What is the proper care needed for a yamaha drive? I have read the manual for the pw-x and there was no mention of routine or periodic maintenance needed on the motor.

Thank you very much. I want a mirror that can he clamped inward on the handlebar. Which is the Ergotec that can be mounted inwards? I was going to order the Hafny on amazon, but this ergotec brand looks like much better value.
