    Hi, new to EBikes and well, biking in General

    You can use flatout if you’re worried about punctures. It goes in the tube itself and makes a seal around any leakage

    Does you effort increase as battery gets low?

    It’s from voltage sag. Has nothing to do with the motor type. It’s a battery characteristic. The bosch users that don’t notice it is cause Bosch doesn’t make powerful motors..they’re efficiency motors.

    If you want more torque up hills consider a higher tooth chainring (larger diameter)

    You got a point. This is an electric bike forum and to give advice saying you can use a normal bike is just silly..there’s other forums for normal bikes. I didn’t find him obnoxious tho..maybe he’s trying to save you money (there are good gear ratios for flat roads). It’s hard to accurately...

    That’s a compression ring. It goes ”into” the top bearing. when tightening the top cap, make sure the stem is untightented. The top cap preloads the bearings by applying pressure to them, it shouldn’t be too tight. Tighten until you can’t move the spacers anymore with your hands and the wobble...

    Make a ticket or call them to order. lts Headsets - LX/Cruiser/Rockstar 1 $34.99 but it comes with the bearings and the cups which you don’t need. The sizing is generic so alot of mtb headsets fit the same

    Spoke Magnet Pole Orientation

    If someone later finds this. The magnet pole direction doesn’t matter. I tested it both sides and it worked the same. The sensor picks up the magnetic field either way

    Trying to figure out which ebike would work the best for me

    Lectric is really popular and should fit your needs. both the radpower and lectric arent light tho, around 60+ lbs crookedbikes might be a fit too https://crookedpathebikes.com/shop-ebikes/ rattan might fit too...

    These bikes are too powerful!

    A lot do this..the throttle power is based on the pas level. So level 1 pas would give 7 to 10% power on both throttle and pedal assist.. check the ride1up forums or ask their support if it does that. but this is quite common

    Disappointed w/ Sondors Rockstar power

    It is torque sensing and does bring on more power with pedaling. feels pretty natural aside from the second delay of motor kicking in. But he seems like he’s having some bigger issues if he can feel the motor at only 7pas and up (the throttles output is correlated to the pas setting)

    These bikes are too powerful!

    He’ll be fine with cadence if his knees are bad. cadence is just weird tho, takes time getting used to

    Spoke Magnet Pole Orientation

    I ordered a Bosch spoke magnet and will say which way the magnet is facing.. but for now I stuck a magnet in the existing spoke housing. I tried both faces and they both registered on the display.. you’re saying to face north toward the sensor right? I’m surprised there’s no info I googled...

    That’s a headset dust cap. Its really cheap, maybe a few bucks. The whole headset with the bearings is 12$..just ask for a dust cap

    These bikes are too powerful!

    Cadence just picks up how fast you’re spinning the pedals.. torque sensors pick up how much pressure you’re applying

    Disappointed w/ Sondors Rockstar power

    I’m 6ft 180lbs and the bike takes off to 10mph on pas 1 without issues. on pas 9 its really torquey and snaps me back..I gotta lean into it. There is no grinding sounds but I greased everything and took half the bike apart. It is very torquey..check for voltage sag or see if you can go to a bike...

    Sondors Rockstar Broken Fork

    This is what I received as well. Their forks weren’t in stock so they offered a rockshox

    Sondors Rockstar Broken Fork

    I received a replacement, with a new headset. would recommend calling them after you make a ticket. they’re kinda slow on tickets

    Spoke Magnet Pole Orientation

    My magnet flew out of the spoke housing. i tested a magnet I’m about to mount, north and south pole facing the speed sensor…both sides register speed. does the the side of the magnet facing the speed sensor even matter?
