There is no universal standard for the color coding on barrel connectors. Some manufacturers use colors to indicate polarity though. Make sure you are using the correct polarity on the connectors you try. The Grin Satiator has reverse polarity protection. It won't charge and you get an on...

In addition to torque sensing and a throttle, you might also consider a bike with cruise control. It made a big difference for my SIL, who now rides much more often.

My Pedego Platinum Interceptors have both torque and cadence sensors. I almost never use cadence. Still, it's a backup if I get injured and can't exert much pedal pressure.

The output voltage of a fully charged 36v lithium battery is 42V. 36v is the "nominal" voltage rating. A charger that puts out 42v is correct for this battery. That being said, there is always the possibility Eahora uses some proprietary technology which may alter this voltage. Any 42v, 2...

Another factor that is often overlooked when calculating miles per charge is battery age. Just because your fully charged battery is rated at say 420wh, doesn't mean it actually contains that much energy. A battery can loose capacity due to age, temperature and the way it is treated. Occasional...

This is true for cell phones since the satellites they use are low earth orbit. Signals often can't reach into deep river valleys and rugged mountainous terrain. True satellite communicators, like those made by Garmin, use the high earth orbit Iridium satellite network which provides near...

I've had good luck using these to house electronics on my bikes. They come in a variety of sizes and are reasonably weatherproof...

No mention was made of the bike or the relative fitness of the woman. I would think the she would have been able to pedal at least part of that 20 miles. However, the story does reinforce what many of us already know. Whether it's an e-bike or a conventional model, IMO, it's common sense to...

Don't forget the transistor!

Welcome to the forum! There are two products that may help with your problem: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001L9KI56?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_10 And: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07TF14C74?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_8 The first is a simple clip on "thumb"...

Welcome to the forum! As for question one, yes, I've used a 48V Pedego battery on a 52V bike. You may find that 48V battery is really 52V since Pedego used to rate their older 52V batteries as 48V. I would check the voltage with a meter to be sure. If it is actually 48V, I would not charge it...

It's only a guess but I would think there is some allowable variation with the input voltage. Most 12V devices are designed to work in vehicles where the alternator varies the battery voltage in the 11 to 14V range. No way to be sure without experimenting though. Too many variables.

The only way to know for sure is to experiment. If it works well enough, then you face the problem of how to house the sensor and meter on the bike since neither is weatherproof.

There have been reports about dirty switch contacts causing this problem: https://forums.electricbikereview.com/threads/ncm-battery-problem.44023/ Another thread on the issue: https://forums.electricbikereview.com/threads/ncm-battery-wont-turn-on-unless-jump-started.49377/ You might also try...

Over the years, I've damaged two vehicles carrying 2 - 25# conventional bikes on a trunk rack causing damaged paint and broken glass. On one occasion, I almost lost the bikes as well. No matter how tight you keep the straps, they always work loose somehow. No way would I trust an expensive...

Here's a YouTube video that may offer some help: It shows a thumb throttle replacement with a generic product but the same procedure will likely work with a twist type.

Welcome to the forum! I'm not sure what part of Virginia you're from, but here are a few of my favorite off road rides: Virginia Creeper Trail: https://www.traillink.com/trail/virginia-creeper-national-recreation-trail/ New River Trail...

Makes sense. Where I ride, it's traditional to hang found items in plain sight to make it easier to spot by those who lost it. :rolleyes:

I see this same issue in many states where I ride. Lots of money being spent on new construction but little or none on maintenance.

Sounds delicious! Do they deliver? 🤤
