This is my 3rd ebike. I have ridden several others so can speak from some experience. My current ebike has a Brose motor and the quietness and smooth power delivery of it is a wonderful feature that is enjoyed on each and every silent ride. There are too many jerky, surging, whining and...

I certainly wouldn't befriend anyone who envies D. Trump. Who in the world could possibly want to be like him? Of course everyone wants to be rich but beyond that I see no redeeming quality in the man whatsoever, NONE.

This is a tough one. It looks like the metal is very thin by the picture so welding does not seem like it would work without fish plating. Maybe a a piece of pipe or a piece of a seat post could be inserted all the way down inside to bridge the crack. If the pipe could be epoxied (JB weld...

Personally I don't believe you will gain much with a front suspension unless you are jumping off curbs. You are sitting near the back wheel so a suspension seat sounds like the way to go to get a smoother ride.

I believe you answered your own question. It sounds like you have a guilt complex.

Great system that works well when all the components are in good shape. It is just too bad it all wears out so quickly and needs constant adjusting. I want a motor and transmission like motorcycles and with a belt drive.

A mid drive without a throttle has to be peddled very hard to activate the torque sensing power control to get full power out to the motor whereas a hub drive usually has a hand throttle which merrily has to be fully applied with your thumb for max power delivery. So in essence a hub drive can...

There isn't any way the cost of hearing aids is reasonable and or justified. Does anyone have any idea what the profit margin is?

It's your story tell it the way you wish.

With the dynamite prices out there at this time it may be more prudent to just buy a factory made ebike.

Ride1Up has saddle type bags $60.00 for the pair. They hold a lot.

Batteries are very reasonable at Costco.

Been riding two wheelers all my life and used all kinds of mirrors. At an advanced age or 84 I am now using a helmet mirror which took me quite a while to get used to but once I did I do like it. Not easy to get used to though and it does need to be adjusted just right. I is also causes less...

Because they are cheap? Come on Stefan that is not even a valid point. Bicycle drive train components are not strong enough to withstand heavy loads of a cargo bike. Building a cargo bike with normal bicycle mid-drive drive components is sort of like building a gravel truck on a car drivetrain.

You are right. Distance, climate and also the cost of electric bikes is a factor here in the USA to be sure. I know lots of people who would like to have an electric bike but are held back by the cost. I believe as the glut on the market brings the prices down more will jump on the ebike...

Lock the front wheel brake and try to rock the bike fore and aft to detect if there is any play in the headset bearing. A loose bearing there can cause a wobble. There should be no slack looseness of the fork in the headset at all. It should be snug enough but not so snug as to cause any...

Most of our ebike motors are already filled with a bunch of gears so a few more for a transmission seems very feasible to me.

Want silence, I mean real silence get a Brose powers bike.

I had a bike with the 750 watt Bafang and one with the M620. The hub Bafang was quite a bit quieter than the M620 but not nearly as quiet as the Brose in my current bike. You have to strain your ears to even hear the motor. After all one of the main reasons I own an electric bike is for the...

Heavy sticky grease will cause a reduction in the efficiency of the motor due to increased friction of the heavy lubricant.
