More of the EU based eBike sellers are leaving the US than entering. It's been going on for a few years actually. Main reason is the popularity of the RAD and Lectric and online sales type inexpensive models that are more attractive to the American public over the EU cyclist culture which demand...

While it is disturbing for the moto industry that KTM is pulling the plug, in actual fact the motorized division of the company only licensed the KTM name to the Puello's, who created Haibike eBikes one of the early leaders in the eBike space. Licensing agreements are very common and why you see...

I was an early adopter of the Grin All-Axle for a front hub any road bike I built up 5yrs ago and it performed well beyond my expectations. I always thought that a front hub fat bike would be a great way to go and if I was in the market for such a beast I would be all over this! Grin really is...

Correct, whatever you use as an anti torque device must fit snugly to your motor axle.

Does look like someone grafted "torque" washers, I use the term torque loosely as they never work well, to the original fork dropouts. If you current motor's axle is thinner than the washers under load, as with a person aboard adding weight, the motor will spin and tear out the wiring most...

The Bafang Ultra is also known as the M620 and to add further confusion the G510. The motor is able to be speced with either a 48v or 52v controller which would make for different peak watt ratings as well.

I am confused? Even if your motor controller is rated for 2300w can't you still use lower assist levels to get more range and less drivetrain wear? The 52 and 48v 21700 cell batteries I had made with a 40A BMS are only 15ah due to size restrictions using a stock case for the e22 Dengfu frame...

You might find that Grin, if you follow the link above, has at least another option for a hub solution? I believe one is also a geared version so that gives you the available spectrum to choose from. I have had the All Axle front version since its Beta days and it works very well and as you...

Doesn't surprise me. But they only mention the U.S. market so I assume that the EU, Japanese and Asian markets as well as others are still a go? If one goes to their regional sites their product line expands quite a bit over what they made available here. Also will they still sell motors to...

The motor looks like the original Yamaha motor that they brought to the Japanese market 30yrs ago. At that time 24v SLA batteries were in use and were upgraded to 36v NiMH or LifePo4 type cells as the concept of ebikes matured. It wouldn't surprise me that the motor would be able to withstand...

Assuming the area shown is the only one that is broken just fill the hole with silicone and it will glue it in place. Will at least help until you can get a replacement. When you do get it you can just peel out the silicone. You might want to back off on the other attachment bolts and do as...

This post makes all kinds of sense. The Medford deal was an outlier for sure and kudos to those that were able to take advantage of it. Yamaha dumping inventory at the end of the season basically factory direct because they have so few IBD dealers also makes sense for them going forward into the...

This was ugly but effective BITD before batteries made the leap to being efficient.

Yeah for years you could show OR residency via a drivers license and avoid paying tax in WA but that hasn't been the case for a number of years now. We used to take good advantage of it coming back from AK in the fall at LFS and REI! Both Vancouvers take advantage of being close to borders for...

You should be as well protected as possible with the tire liners and slimed tubes. Sounds like punctures are inevitable there and the best you can do is to stop them from leaking ASAP. I have had really good luck with going to tubeless to combat punctures but where I live there aren't alot of...

It should be.

This came across my screen today, new model from Vvolt: https://vvolt.com/collections/ebikes/products/centauri-ii 3spd auto shift/belt drive and Ananda Class III mid motor with a UL battery seem to be solid sale points for the commuter set. Portland, OR based.

I live in Northern OR as opposed to where the OP lives and when I got to checkout an 07, not the 30th edition. was quoted as $2800. Part of that was the $280 in tax applied because the participating dealer closest to me is in Vancouver, WA and WA has sales tax. But still doesn't account for why...

"I expect swift consequences to legislators" The legislators that dreamed this up need a swift something to a certain part of the human anatomy. As fast as the wheels of gov't can go implementing regulations it takes forever to get them to annul any so I don't hold much hope other than it never...
