Well, Mr. wise guy, this is all I can afford, so I'll make the best of it. I haven't trued wheels because I live in a small HUD subsidized senior's apartment and can't mount a truing jig on a countertop.

Ok. Thanks.

Have a fat tire bike on the way here. I just ordered two tubes with removable cores. How much of Stan's (or other brand) sealant should I put in each tube. Instructions say 3-4 oz, but that doesn't seem like enough. Comments appreciated.

Got it. I can see I'm going to have to bone up on basic electronics. It's been years.

What does SLA mean ? I admit I'm ignorant of E-BIKE terminology.

You're right, I might. Have a lot to learn about the electrical system.

Amazon had the Ecotric fat bike marked down from $969 to $699 this morning. I bought it. Only 36v, but if possible, down the road, I'll convert it to 48v. I have a lot of soldering experience from working in the electronic industry. Also bought a set of Mr Tuffy s. I'm in good physical shape for...

The bike was marked down from $969 to $699 this morning so I ordered it. Arriving between Thursday 2/14 and Tuesday 2/19.

Ok. I WANT a fat tire. Having no experience with E-BIKES, I have to read, sometimes between the lines, what others say. I recently read (somewhere) about a guy who did a front wheel drive on the same bike I have, a 14 year old Trek 7300 hybrid. The new wheel wouldn't fit and he had to buy...

You and me both.

After 100+ years we still haven't figured out how to make the internal combustion engine ecologically safe. It will, no doubt, always be the same : man first, planet second.

The video on Amazon says it has an aluminum alloy frame.

Very informative reply. Thank you.

Make that 36v 12 ah

Considering this fat tire even though it's called 500 w, with a 36v 10ah battery. I emailed them through Amazon ( E-Go Bikes) and asked if the bike could be upgraded to 48v battery and appropriate controller. They advised against it. They were prompt with their response. $969. Comments ?

Good idea, unfortunately I need a fat tire bike for excursions into the desert.

I've often thought the same thing.

That's certainly not surprising these days. Fortunately, I have done all the work on my two Treks except for wheel truing and frame straightening and have accumulated most needed tools over the years. I have also worked as an electronic technician.

I realize being on a tight budget is a hindrance to buying a "quality" E-bike. No doubt Lenny's is a legitimate E-bike dealer. I live in Arizona so Wisconsin is a little far for a test ride. The only dealers in my town sell Fuji ( grossly overpriced and relying on their bicycle reputation), and...

Well, since I'm 73 and my only income is social security I'm not willing to count on luck. I won't buy any E-bike with substandard or non existent support. Been down that road with other products. Thanks for your reply.
