    Trek domane+ lights permanently on / won't turn off

    Trek is most likely requiring the lights be on whenever the bike is powered on. They do this in the firmware. A dealer may be able to change this, but I doubt it.

    My 1000w motor journey and fear mongering by users of the forum!

    Did they break a lock to get it or was it not locked up?

    Can the MET police take your ebike away if you have insurance on it

    I do not believe Sur Ron makes “ebikes”. They make electric off road motocross bikes….no pedals. So if you are riding it on public streets or bike paths then maybe they can, or at the very least ticket you. ……and I don’t think having insurance matters if you are riding it illegally.

    A nice ride along Lake Michigan today on my new Rush/City Speed. So far really loving it! The weather made for a perfect fall ride! The skyline of Serial 1’s birthplace seen from the Oak Leaf Trail!

    Why the big brand (Bosch, Yamaha, Shimano etc.) battery packs cost so much?

    Could they maybe use some more tape and “paper” wrap to hold it all together?Meh......no thanks! Aliexpress battery example, again no thanks.

    Doesn’t Tesla “lock you to their ecosystem” with their batteries? I’m pretty sure you can’t slide a Chevrolet Bolt battery pack into a Tesla....

    Why the big brand (Bosch, Yamaha, Shimano etc.) battery packs cost so much?

    With the premium manufacturers, you aren’t just paying for the battery cells. You are paying for quality/robust engineering and manufacturing......This includes the battery cell packaging and the BMS. Shimano...... versus......

    Statement Regarding Potential CPSC Ebike Law Preemption of 3-class Legislation

    I think they are referring to motor inhibitor brake switches. They are not needed on the “premium” mid-drives because they have no throttle and the power is instantly cut when pedaling stops. Many hub motors have them even if not equipped with a throttle because there is often a noticeable lag...

    Heres some real world ebike motor data.

    I have the E8000, and it’s far from underpowered, lol. .......and yes, I’ve ridden Brose and Bosch for comparison. Edit: I’m wondering if the E8000 the OP tried was de-tuned using the STEPS E-Tube app.... https://bike.shimano.com/en-US/e-tube/project/formobile.html

    Statement Regarding Potential CPSC Ebike Law Preemption of 3-class Legislation

    Ken, please correct me if I’m wrong, but haven‘t you mentioned at some point that you have a gas powered ”bicycle” that is no longer legal to ride on streets in Colorado? If so, is this the true reason you’re pushing for this? If so, I doubt many states if any will ever allow this type of...

    Statement Regarding Potential CPSC Ebike Law Preemption of 3-class Legislation

    Ken, you have skated around the concerns of many, that the elimination of the 3 class system will potentially result in municipalities and land managers banning all ebikes on bike trails, paths, and MUPs. Can you state for certain that this will not be a possibility? To me, it seems like you...

    Statement Regarding Potential CPSC Ebike Law Preemption of 3-class Legislation

    You are aware auto and motorcycle manufacturers have to produce vehicles that meet different US (and foreign) requirements? Mainly related to emissions regulations, such as California‘s CARB requirements. The car or motorcycle you purchase in California is not the same as the one you would...
