Well i took my KHS500 fat bike to the local bike shop yesterday to have the bottom bracket removed. This to check it to see if the bike is a candidate for a BBSHD 1000 w mid drive motor. And it is. These motors work best on bikes with a JIS/BSA threaded bottom bracket. There are adapters made...
Nice picture, I just bought a fat bike and plan on equipping it with some type of electric drive, I just havnt decided to fo front wheel geared hub or try a mid drive, so I,m very interested in your riding impressions
I have used the pinhead locks on the seats of both my bikes and am satisfied they are tamper proof. I removed the front axle pin head lock from my e bike because I did not not take the time to space it properly and the front disc was rubbing so the original front axle was re installed. A word of...
I used the Pin Head system for securing the seats on my 2 bikes. It uses a bolt with a special wrench and has a protective sleeve around the bolt head so vise grips cant be used. And when I took my non electric mountain bike to work one night I forgot that I had removed the pin head front axle...
One year and 1550 km,s on my bionx 55 equipped road bike. Never even a hint of trouble, ran great the whole time. But with snow about to start falling it,s now locked up in the heated garage till next spring. Those 700c tires just wont do in slippery conditions.
I have often looked at the site. The shipping is i believe $79 U.S. and the price is prob in U.S. dollars as well. And for your info our countries use the exact same power system so all electrical cords and accessories are the same. It,s the european systems that are different. Lately the...
Well I hope you stay young and fit forever, if not, and you age and stay into bicycles you may change your outlook. I bought a mountain bike this spring. Putting 1500 km,s on my electric road bike brought my overall shape up to where I could easily ride my pedal power mountain bike for a few...
The last few days when I come to this site I first get a message saying my IP address has been banned. When I hit log in it then connects. Anyone else having this issue?
receipts, serial number were all kept and a police report has been filed, bike thefts are up in my city Winnipeg by over 100% since last year. I will look into the the Yukon fat bike since that was my 2nd choice. What it may mean is maybe an extra month or 2 before I retire to pay for it, not...
Sad update to this for me anyway, I took the bike to work that I had planned to add a front gear drive hub to and locked it to a bench in front of the train station at my work. Came out at 10pm and the bike has been stolen, only the front wheel still locked to the bench. The bikes always get 2...
Its not for my bionx road bike but for a Giant Talon 2 I bought this spring, for now its just pedal power but i bought a set of studded tires for it a couple days ago. And have ordered a pair of goggles plus a neck warmer. And trying to decide if I should add a 250 watt geared hub motor to the...
bike thefts skyrocketed in my city this summer due to more people riding. I rode my e bike to work all summer and used 2 locks both Kryptonite, one a new york U lock and the 2nd a nylon covered steel link type. Plus the battery, console and all lights go in the panniers and get taken into work...
Hi I was wondering how the Yukon is holding up, I,ve been riding my BionX equipped bike to the forks most days, have about 1500 km,s on it now and so far it,s been troublefree. I see Yukon is now selling a 750 watt fatbike with front suspension.
I was cleaning my garage yesterday and found my old Kayak paddle hands, a kayaking pogie and tried them on the bike. They are just waterproof and windproof nylon and I think I can access the brakes, shifters, etc with them on. The next time i head to work early and it,s cold they will get...
Now thats its getting darker earlier and the sun here is rising a bit later it,s still dark when I work the day shift and leave in the morning. There is a stretch of my ride where I take the sidewalk facing traffic on what is a very busy road, for us anyway. On the way home i take the same...
I picked up a pair of Outdoor Research gripper gloves, so far in the morning rides they have been windproof and fairly warm, but it has not gotten very cold here yet, been averaging around 6 to 10 degrees celcius. Have not needed to use the insulated skullcap under the helmet yet. I have taken...
I,m heading down to my local bike shop to pick up a little cool weather gear in a few minutes. The temperature in the mornings when i ride to work is averaging 3 to 5 degrees Celcius which is just a little above freezing. So a pair of insulated gloves and some type of an insulated skullcap to...
