Well, that's too bad.

I suggest watching this video, and take note at 2m29s the guys says, "The moral is ... two studded tires would have been better".

I suggest you contact Grin Technologies and see if they have a solution using their Satiator charger. https://www.ebikes.ca/product-info/cycle-satiator.html You'll note on that page they have a 3-pin to 4-pin XLR adapter for Juiced bikes.

Well, here in Seattle, Lime Bike drives a truck around and picks up their e-bikes to charge them up. Once charged, they drive a truck around and to drop them off in seed locations.

Important to note that chain stretch causes wear of the rear cassette and front chain wheel, which will eventually cause shifting and slippage problems. These problems can be very pronounced when a new chain is installed, due to the mechancial mismatch between the new chain and worn gears. Many...

I really like them, they are the ideal tire for me, knobby enough that I am not deterred by a little mud or loose stuff, yet they roll very easily and quietly on pavement.

By the time you notice an increase in chain noise, the chain is already overdue for lubrication. You shouldn't wait any longer. Stop by your LBS and ask what chain lube they recommend for your style of riding and get some tips on how to apply it. Also ask them for a chain stretch gauge so you...

Thanks, I was just wondering about this on my cold ride today!

I read the original article. I read the reply I responded to. I stated my opinion, Just like everyone else in this thread. And I stand by my comments. I'm not going to reply directly to anyone that tells me to "buzz off". That's just looking for a fight and I'm not biting. But I will avail...

You're gonna LOVE these bikes!

After getting used to using an outlet timer to charge my ebike, I also started using one on my laptop. In fact, I found out WIRED magazine recommended this way back in 2013: https://www.wired.com/2013/09/laptop-battery/

I have 720 miles on this bike now. The dealer (Seattle Electric Bikes) did a little rear wheel truing at the 250 mile checkup. Otherwise everything has been perfect mechanically. The chain is still within tolerance (I wipe it off with a rag saturated with rubbing alcohol and lube it with...

I have a Cube Reaction Pro Allroad with the Bosch Performance CX motor. I find the power assist in EMTB mode is very natural. As a bonus the bike is very nimble and handles extremely well.
