    How much to spend on a ebike?

    My Ride1Up was just under $2000. It took me months to pick, but $2000 was my max. I have a hard time leaving things alone so, I started replacing most of the electrical system. I live in a hilly place and the bike was pretty good but now. it's better. Ride1Up just came out with the Vorsa. Looks...

    Lugging a Motor, Why it's Bad

    Does the new chain have as many links as the old chain? This is how I measured my new chain when I replaced the old one. I figure if the chain stretched, maybe the old chain would measure to a length in the middle of a link? IDK I’d that could happen. With this in mind, I just counted the links...

    For us OLD guys

    I’ve driven a large truck for many years. From the drivers view, it’s dangerous for someone to pass around the truck. Especially during a 3 point U turn. Be it a bike, walker, runner, it’s all the same. The driver, that was focusing on this maneuver and watching for cars, now has to wait for...

    I Crashed !!!

    My dude, I’m glad you are OK and no medic was needed. Time for Vado now…..now that you can breathe again.

    Anyone Tried Tannus Armor in a Schwalbe Marathon + Tire?

    Ive had Tannus Armor in the same tires for 3 years now and have never done that. I did buy smaller inner tubes when I installed the armor and have 25PSI in each 27.5x2.4” tire. I think having the smaller tube doesn’t compress the foam as much as having the original tube. It seems like users...

    Do All eBike Motors Have Issues?

    I think that’s a Shengyi motor. So you have an alphanumeric stamp starting with “SY2248….”? The Aventon Level, of the same year, had the same motor.

    Do All eBike Motors Have Issues?

    A buddy of mine got tossed from his motorcycle when his front wheel started to wobble. Very bad. He is lucky he walked away with only roderash and a bruised hip.

    Just to play devils advocate… How long does the light draws 6W for? 1 hour? 3 hours? If it’s 6WH then over a 24 hour period that’s 144 wh. Over a weekend, that’s 288 wh. A week, that’s 1008 wh. Your battery will be dead. BMS may kick in earlier due to LVC.

    I’m getting pretty tired of that. One of these days, I’ll have to delete all my duplicates. Fun fact: the headlight is the original from my ebike.

    lol. No. This one can’t go more that 18mph. With semi-solid tires and no suspension, I wouldn’t go faster. I’d upload a picture of my 40mph scooter, but don’t want to go through the hassle of resizing the photo.

    best security ideas for ebike

    Problem with locking and unlocking with a phone is that the bike will always be on to accept transmission for the phone. That will drain the battery, slowly, but you may find yourself with a dead battery if the bike is left alone for a couple of weeks. I know about the drain because I...

    Places that hate bicycle riders.

    You actually can. Some customers ask for me. They have other sites that they want me to work on. I get really good feedback that the boss likes. The boss gives me the tough jobs because she knows I can handle them. Customers gives me tips or hit on me, now and again. I know that the customer...

    Go Bike Forte Trike Controller problem

    When you say “it wants to reach its max speed”, is this with no load? I mean, with the tire in the air? I ask because this is sometimes normal. While mounted on the bike, you may find that you won’t reach max speed so easily. How is 10kmph impossible? Walk mode is usually about that speed.

    35 amp controllers

    You might have a 35A squarewave controller or sinewave. There are many flavors of a 35A controller. I like the KT controllers since they seem to have the most consistent settings and instructions. Compared to say, a BrainPower controller. As Spokewrench mentions, the size of a 35 A controller...

    What brake pads do I buy???

    My bike uses the same type of pads. I use these. https://a.co/d/10xVUzp I dunno, they were cheap. They stop the bike just fine and aren’t noisy. I don’t ride a lot. Just 8 miles a day to commute.
