Thank you for the detailed procedure @spokewrench mine is going into the shop today so I’ll see how it goes. Edit: Also might be because I regularly bend the front brake cable when I fold the handlebar on my RadExpand

Those prices are on the Yamaha site https://www.yamahabicycles.com/promotions/ As they’re selling off inventory I wonder if you’re right and Yamaha is killing the Power Assisted Bicycles lineup for the US market? Upway are going to have to revise their pricing on used Yamaha models

The front Tektro Aries manual brake on my RadExpand stopped working at the top of a hill, thankfully the motor inhibitor & rear brake was enough to bring me to a stop before I over-ran into the intersection at the bottom. The bike is 4 months old and I've put about 400 miles on the odo. I had...

No, but the solution to the e-bike fire safety problem is multi-factorial. UL compliance is one of several issues that need to be addressed, including: Congress should lower the $800 de minimis value encouraging direct-to-consumer retailers to sell e-bikes and lithium-ion batteries without...

Yes, I was reading social media posts from concerned cargo bike riders in California about SB 1271. I reprogrammed a 36v BBS01 controller to 20a so 720w peak power, and that was enough for me to tow a loaded weehoo trailer up hill, but my current daily rider is a 48v Class 2 RadExpand that I...

Respectfully you are writing from the position of an employee of UL Solutions. I approach this from the position of an American consumer, and IMO there is nothing untoward with the US accepting internationally recognized electrical safety standards. You have to be realistic about the time and...

Some changes may be coming to the ebike 3-class system if state bill SB 1271 is adopted in California https://www.bicycleretailer.com/industry-news/2024/09/03/california-bill-redefines-class-1-and-3-electric-bikes-closer-passage Requiring future Class 3 ebikes to not be fitted with throttles...

Recently there was a Reddit e-bikes thread about upright Dutch style city bikes. I note the Amsterdam Bicycle Company in Delaware is now importing the Azor Zandvoort with a Shimano EP6 Cargo mid-drive motor (85nm) and wide choice of drivetrains and colors.

While that is true for the majority of NPS land, here in the DC area NPS administers key commuting bicycle routes eg Memorial Bridge, a flexible approach to Ebike policy is essential

Sure enough, 5 years later, the National Park Service has released its court ordered programmatic environmental assessment and its ruling of no significant impact. The court found the litigation brought by PEER to be without merit, and this report confirms ebikes may access National Parks with...

You could order from Amazon. Most any US bike shop can order the parts from QBP (Quality Bike Parts). Other stockists include Universal Cycles, or Modern Bike.

US Military base post exchange stores sell a small selection of ebikes and scooters, and rider gear including tools, eyewear, and clothing. Exchange access is available to individuals with base access & permission to use the Exchange including active duty, veterans, or DoD Civilian employees...

The ebiketips article mentions R&M have designed this to make replacing the motor possible. Of interest it is reported that "other systems could potentially be retrofitted to the bike". Assuming the reporter got this tidbit from R&M I wonder hypothetically what might be involved in swapping out...

You should choose a controller that can be programmed to lower the current drawn to match the current to which the battery's BMS is rated. Either that or buy both controller and battery from Woosh. You won't need the throttle as they're not UK legal. But now you mention it I recall some...

In that case I recommend you contact Woosh in Southend, they are a UK dealer in MXUS motors which I understand was Prodecotech's motor supplier, and they can likely supply a replacement 48v controller programmed to UK legal parameters, they might fit Anderson connectors on request or they may...
