    When I was looking for an ebike I had some general requirements. First it needed to be a step-through. Second the motor had to be a mid drive and easily matched with an aftermarket battery. The third point was a dual battery system for long 50 mile rides. Fourth point was the weight of the bike...

    In 2022, I bought a Rize City Commuter MD step-through. I was using my bike for short trips with a child carrier, to haul stuff to Carmel and downtown Indianapolis. I later added a removable storage crate to the rear rack. I can remove the crate when I transport the bike and I can lock the crate...

    I am the proud owner of two ebikes. I bought my Raleigh Tekoa ebike in 2016. It was a great bike for me. It was also a great learning experience as well. In 2021 The Curie battery was losing its charge. I bought a 48V 13Ah shark downtube battery and was able to get it to work with the help of...

    Thanks for the link. I appreciate your attitude about fire safety. It is also a concern of mine.

    @ PCeBiker (family break) "...I'd suggest not trying to revive your battery any longer. It seems to be making things worse?" I will see what happens this next ride. When I charged the battery on Sunday for 12 hours the battery read 54.3v. Today it read 54.0v. Yep, I think it is time to buy a...

    Replace Battery, Controller, or Something Else?

    Rode today for less than a block when battery shut off. All of the indicator lights were lit. Watt meter read 48.8?. I am going to drain the battery and recharge. My question is why are the power indicator lights still on when battery shutdown?

    @ PCeBiker Thanks for the gadget ideas. I can't justify buying $100+ of gadgets for one project.

    I checked the battery this morning, it is still on the bike. All of the power level indicator lights are lit-up, 4 green and 1 red.

    Thank you everyone, especially harryS and PCeBiker! I like the advice and the gadgets. I most likely do need a new battery. That is not going to happen, yet. I am going to examine the results of charging the battery for longer than 5 hours. The current battery is still functional for my use...

    What a good day! Finshed riding 15+ miles. Didn't want to loss the data, so I kept the battery on when I put the bike on the rack. It is much lighter the my Rize MD. I have one thing to do tonight and tomorrow morning to post links to my data. I will need to clean it up first.

    I have ridden in temperatures below freezing. Maybe that is why I am having battery issues. :rolleyes: I don't think I will be able to attach a battery to the watts meter before the ride. I was going through all my old battery data and in 2021 I was getting about 50+ miles on this battery.

    Good morning, Yesterday I charged the battery about 14 hours (8:30 am to 10:30 pm). Last night's multimeter reading was 54.1, this mornings reading 54.0. This morning's readings on the watts meter was 54.1V and 54.09Vm all other measurements (Wh, Ah, Wp, and Ap) were zero. I will go for a ride...

    The BMS has permitted the USB port to function after the battery stops working on the bike. Sometimes the watts meter shuts down when the battery dies on the bike and other times it doesn't. One issue is that all my old data is from the watts meter and not from the multi-meter. "Can you watch...

    @harryS- Thank you for your post. "...so that's 3AH in total?" No, that was a total of 2AH. Which is why it doesn't make sense. I drain the battery today on a 3 mile ride. The battery was so drained that the watts meter shutdown as well. So, I was able to get 31 miles on level 1 from the...

    I rode 15 miles today. After the ride all the power indicator lights still lit up. The voltage on the voltmeter was 49.2 at the end of the ride. I also used 2.58 volts on this ride. Is there a reason that .2 volts, yet went 7 more miles farther? My rides consist of circling around my and the...
