Planet Bike has a really nice tail light, named 'Grateful Red', available in a AAA battery and USB editions. This link is to the AAA battery one: https://www.planetbike.com/grateful-red-bike-tail-light/

There is battery capacity measured in Ah then there is discharge current measured in Amps. Any 48v electric bike battery offered on Amazon should be suitable for a 500w motor. The 18 Amps of the controller translates to a max draw of 750 watts which is typical of a 500w motor. My 48v Joyisi is...

I have a 48v Joyisi with LG cells in a Hailong form factor. It's been a solid performer for more than 2000 miles.

I have an NCX and Redshift and prefer the latter as well.

This appears to be the bike: https://www.amazon.com/Electric-TotGuard-Bicycles-Removable-Suspension/dp/B09F3N2RX3?th=1

The link to the battery is broken in your post, but I was able to fish it out: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09JWZCBG4/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_X1ZXXRPM27F5298YH1Q3?th=1 While that link indicates you chose a 48V battery I wonder if they sent you a 36V? Except for the chooser section, all text on the...

A hub drive is an easier plane to fly but lacks natural engagement with the yolk and mechanical advantage of a mid-drive.

This is my wife's Trek I converted with a Bafang SWX02 250W hub motor. It's plenty of power for our moderate hills in Charlotte and gets about 15 miles a charge.

It could be a problem with the chain. My neighbor had a new RadCity e-bike and had similar symptoms. The chain would get kinked and then come free with a little thunk. It was especially noticeable while pedaling at slow speeds. I had a spare 8-speed chain from a 9-speed upgrade. We replaced his...

Park Tool: A Look at Chain Slap

I have two 'Grateful Red' tail lights. One for each bike. Great light. Very visible. https://www.planetbike.com/grateful-red-usb-bike-tail-light/ You can get them at Amazon, bike shops, or buy direct. There are USB and AAA battery models available.

The Magnum Ranger is a fat tire bike (4" wheels). That's a lot of tire for a long commute. The Magnum Cruiser would be a better commuter - though the battery is much smaller. https://www.magnumbikes.com/product/magnum-cruiser-ci5/

A drivetrain that mimics the engagement of a geared hub motor without all the unsprung weight while gaining the mechanical advantage of mid-drive placement and lots of power. I can see the want. Even with a simple cadence PAS you have a winner.

Yes. That's a Bafang G020/SWX02 motor. I have two bikes with that motor. An Electra Townie and a Mongoose Envoy (shown) similar to the Rad Wagon. I assume your bike is a Radwagon 3? And would be compatible with a 135mm rear axle. According to the Radwagon 3 specs I found, the rims...

Universal Cycles has various sizes in stock ready to ship. https://www.universalcycles.com/shopping/product_details.php?id=71843&attribute=171182&gclid=EAIaIQobChMI1p_Zn43k9QIVFOWzCh2Argi_EAQYASABEgJDsfD_BwE

Or, the author meant that the replacement brake levers with kits are typically cable activated. Not hydraulic. Thus one would want to get hydraulic brakes with switches to match the kit.

You'll be fine with v-brakes. But I would upgrade the calipers and pads. I have an Electra Townie I converted to electric and it stops quickly and confidently. In wet conditions, I do regularly dry the brakes by lightly engaging, keeping them primed for a slow down or stop. I have...

I have the clutch version of the Advent as well. Five thousand of those miles were using the MicroShift. The hub motor works well as we only have moderate hills in Charlotte, NC. Should I ever relocate to the nearby mountains, I would need to migrate to a mid-drive setup. I still use the...

Cargo bikes rule. I ride my Mongoose Envoy most days. Some days for exercise and others to transport supplies and provisions. Over the past two years I’ve put nearly 6000 miles on the bike. This pic is from the fall where I was tuning my upgraded MicroShift Advent derailleur. I have the 11-42t...

The seat post size is 27.2 x 350 mm. I also have a 2016 Townie 7d converted to electric except I used a rear hub. https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/electra-townie-conversion-with-kit-from-bluenergy.26457/ I bought a Suntour NCX for my Townie but would not recommend. The...
