Stay away from ebike propritary systems. When they go out of business, or discontinue product lines, it can be very difficult for repairs

I could see them charging a one time fee to upgrade your battery, but a subscription? I would stay away from a corporation with that kind of morality.

Yes, agreed 100%, you absolutely need a mid drive with full suspension. Do not sell yourself short. Ive got two rear hub bikes, and two mid drives.

Welome ot the EBR Forums!

Wonder why it hasn't caught on?

Nice bike Tony, and welcome to the Forum. Where are you located?

NY City would benefit from more ebike and scooter regulation, and I hate most forms of regulation, and all over-regulation. The problem in NYC is that there are too many scofflaws riding around the city (mostly couriers and delivery ebikes) that have no regard for pedestrians, vehicular traffic...

Serious question: How much do you know about the maturity, behaviour, mores, morals and conscientousness of this "kid"? Any model ebike could be dangerous in the hands of the wrong "kid".

What ElevenAD said.

So Mango, what have you found so far that you would consider?

There aren't many options for a step-thru, full suspension, rear hub, with road tires. I ended up getting this for my wife. She wanted a full step thru, but she is satisfied with the mid-step thru. https://www.frey.bike/products/savannah-ultra-cc She rode the Aventon Level, full step thru with...

They do make air-bag vests for motorcycles and for equestrians. They're pretty nice. I considered getting one at one time. They are triggered by a lanyard pull cord attached to your bike. After thinking about it I realized that I've never fallen "off" or been "pitched" from my bike. I've always...

You can watch a multitude of Bafang motors being dissassembled on the web, there is no wire retention mechanism. They just slide through the assembly.

I agree wholeheartedly Stefan. I've taken some nasty spills, always kept my hands on the grips, feet on the pedals. The pedals and grips always took all of the force of the fall. Bent a few handlebars and cranks. I am sure I would have severly damaged my limbs in each fall had they not been...

Take PedalUma's advice for sure.

And good riddence. There have been too many purveyors of the same products with different branding, most of which were not committed to a dedicated service network, service manuals, and a well stocked parts inventory. That's a normal growth feature for the industry like this which exploded with...

Easy peazy to grease the motor. I've opend my motor abour 4 times so far, still using the original gasket, but you should probably purcahse a new gasket just in case, it's paper. kinda flimsy.

I believe that your motor is the Bafang G060: if not, tell us whch motor you have. Which side the cables come out really is not an issue. G060:

Nah, just start disaassembling, and take pictures as you do. You'll be fine. The construction is pretty similar.
