    This bike is going to get me in trouble

    The bike in the picture is the Gazelle Ultimate T10+ HMB. I purchased it through FlyRides in San Diego and it was a very smooth transaction. I put a Kinect seat post on it and it's dreamy!😘 If anyone is looking for a Gazelle try TrailHead bikes in Champlin or Plymouth MN. They had a few in...

    2022 - Top 12 Bafang Ultra M620 Ebikes

    So, it's not about the portocol it's because there are no tools to program it? I mess around with Arduinos a lot and I can interface with CANbus pretty easily. https://www.longan-labs.cc/1030016.html

    FlatOut and -9F, Comedy Gold

    2022 - Top 12 Bafang Ultra M620 Ebikes
