That’s the problem, Stefan. That’s what I’m saying. This information should be in a standardized packaged format that can be utilized and visualized by (non-proprietary) devices. The fact that this data is not available outside the (proprietary) manufacturer’s hardware/software ecosystem...

I think we’re in violent agreement. Thanks for the historical background. I’ll digest that and get back to you guys. This kind of stuff used to be my bag back in my working days. A retired old fart like me could be patient enough to work with the right committees to get the right data into...

Heybike has been getting popular. Other vendors that I’d check out are Aventon, Lectric, Rad, and Velotric. I don’t know if they offer what you’re looking for, but these are good brands that have had some staying power in the states (that’s an important criterion for me).

Well, the tool batteries are expensive (and rightly so). But if you’ve got ‘em already...

Spoke, maybe the “wire” was part of the spring that broke off?

Excellent. 3, can you describe the equipment and process you use to do the trickle charging? Some of the other hobbyists have restored batteries (especially power tool batteries that they use for range extenders) by doing this. It sounds interesting, and I’m wondering about it. TIA.

Right on, @Base !!! I was being generous. It’s ludicrous. Well, perhaps insidious is a better adjective.

Chris, I’m not sure the communication protocol is really the issue here, unless you’re saying that the variety of transports is what has been responsible for improper standardization. What I’m saying (badly, I guess :) ) is that the industry should have already recognized the value of an...

I think you guys have it much worse, @Jeremy McCreary . Coastal landslides are practically non-existent here on the east side. You guys get that on a yearly basis!

So, I think what you’re saying is that there’s no good e-bike standard protocol to which manufacturers can adhere and report important electrical data? Or, is there another protocol other than ANT? Well, gee, we’re only 15+ years into ebike designs… It took the electronic music industry a lot...

If misery loves company — I’m not sure it does — those kinds of coastal sand washouts are not unique to you guys. We get them fairly often around here when big storms happen on the coast(s). I remember going to a couple of coastal Massachusetts and New Hampshire towns a couple of years ago...

@Susan in Toronto I don’t know if you’re also looking for a phone mount. I don’t have this bicycle, but I really like my Gub Pro-3 mount. It’s got a screw retention which really clamps the phone into the holder for what I would expect is a lot better than the Gub P50 in the OP’s post. You...

I may be misunderstanding what you’re saying about the protocol. There’s no field for actual (measured) watts being used? Don’t people want to know that? It’s arguably not essential information (though I think it is), but it’s something I know I like to know when I’m riding. Maybe “%...

Bike stays in my attached, locked garage. Battery stays in the fireplace most of the time.

You GO, Rab!!!!

I’ve cleaned up my spare Logan 180mm rotor in preparation for tomorrow’s install of new pads (hoping… that’s Amazon’s noted delivery date)… This rotor was off my spare bike. Thickness is perfect… spec’d at 1.8mm and measured by my trusty iGaging calipers. Oh, and breaking those 6 star-head...

Wow, beautiful, EMGX!

Shaun, can you get detailed information about the cabling from the manufacturer? Or it could be that your wiring got crimped / torn when the damage occurred... Good luck with the repair.

Bwahahaha. Yeah, enroll me too, Yako!

Great stuff, @Yako . But, you really need to figure out how to look at your brake light while riding! :D :D
