    Anyone tried a lightweight ebike conversion kit on the Scott Addict?

    I did get a complete wheel/motor kit. Not entirely sure but I think the seller (who is a Keyde distributor) laced the hub into a wheel himself. If you're interested in buying a complete wheel maybe you can ask the seller what model rim they use as well as spokes. It may not be a premium rim...

    Anyone tried a lightweight ebike conversion kit on the Scott Addict?

    Don't get me wrong, peterecosse is definitely the authority. But copied from a distributer listing of the thru axle motor: "Complete wheel with 500W Keyde S110-TA Rear motor" seems to indicate that the Keyde thru axle version is a S110 with thru axle compatible features vs the solid axle...

    Anyone tried a lightweight ebike conversion kit on the Scott Addict?

    Unless I'm mistaken the keyde web site only lists S110 available as thru axle. P110 appears to be solid axle. Isn't your Giant thru?

    Anyone tried a lightweight ebike conversion kit on the Scott Addict?

    The thru axle Keyde S110? If so from mission motion LLC (he is the US distributor and has 100% positive reviews)?

    Anyone tried a lightweight ebike conversion kit on the Scott Addict?

    I can second that thought. I ordered a S110 (not thru axle) that had been a demo with only a few miles on it from a reputable seller. Complete with bluetooth display, control button, 10.5ah battery and laced into a 26" wheel. <$350 including tax and shipping so I had to at least give it a...

    Touring - Planning a long journey

    FWIW I've done a few days on the Palouse to Cascades rails to trails part of your trip in Washington and it seemed that easy charging options would be limited as it's kind of isolated.

    Touring - Planning a long journey

    Curious what area of the country are you from? I've done some few day rides, nothing extreme with max distance in a day of 73 miles and had ~30% left on a Yamaha 400wh battery but it depends on route and weather conditions. I did walk some on a long (miles) steep section, the bike didn't have...

    Thanks Dave. I should have checked before I went since my goal was to ride up Larch Mountain Rd. before the snow gate road closure goes into effect soon. That was on the west side past the hwy30 closure. Still was a nice day to be out even if I missed out on what I had planned to do.

    Entering the rainy season but nice weather for a ride today. Unfortunately cut short because historic hwy30 in the waterfall area was closed to bikes for some reason.

    Best mid drive motor under 500 Dollars?

    How are you planning to put a rear disc brake caliper on that bike? I have an old 10 speed steel bike frame that I'm thinking of converting to disc brake on the back and might buy one of these to weld on. The other caliper adapters that I've seen look sort of sketchy. \

    hello from an old guy with bad legs

    Definitely not as classy as yours but here is a cruiser bike I bought many years ago to ride with my wife when she was riding a Schwinn Cruiser 6. 4 years ago I added a mid drive conversion which can climb very well (I live on a small but named mountain so hills almost everywhere here). The...

    TSDZ2b power setting problems

    Sorry, I don't have any help to offer regarding your TSDZ2 but consider doing a trip report with pictures or if you have posted a report on another forum please post a link. I do have two TSDZ2 (not "B") and find it interesting that people post various issues regarding performance and need for...

    Sorry I couldn't find anything better. I like it except that BH had the Yamaha walk assist button deactivated which is inexcusable.

    Going on 6 years that I've had my BH gravel bike. Fun out and back 29 mile ride yesterday with 2600ft elevation gain. Not happening without an ebike.

    Rear sprocket and hub issue

    Park Tool has a instructional on freehub servicing https://www.parktool.com/en-us/blog/repair-help/freehub-service I disassembled shimano freehub once which had pawls sticking but it may not be worth your time, unless you're curious, vs just replacing a typical Shimano or Sram $20-$30 freehub.

    Live in South Africa. Looking for advise on convert a Kona Cube Duel suspension MTB to an e-bike.

    Keep in mind that mid drive conversions often result in a very poor chainline when on the largest cassette cog. I think that Toseven chainrings can come with a 9mm offset which might be adequate but even with a aftermarket 10mm offset chainring on my older TSDZ2 the chainline can be...

    REVIEW: QR-E 250W ELECTRIC BOOSTER BICYCLE MOTOR AND B60i AND B70 BATTERY

    Update on my new to me used Pro of unknown age. I've used it on fairly flat gravel trails including Palouse to Cascades rail to trail in Washington but haven't gotten around to trying it on steep hills until this AM. Rode it up and down my neighborhood road which gains 400ft in 1 mile with a...

    Another "what bikes might be a good fit for me" post, but for a short woman

    No knowledge of this bike other than from their web site but it looks interesting. 29lbs, full carbon folder. $1599 though. https://newurtopia.com/products/urtopia-carbon-fold?variant=46382812823800

    Where in MI? I keep wanting to get back to Michigan for a visit and do the DALMAC ride but haven't gotten around to it. 2300 mile drive to get to East Lansing starting point sort of puts me off.

    Crazy Walmart mid drive deal $349

    I'm thinking about buying one to ride to the gym in an area with a lot of homeless and reported thefts. 30 miles round trip but I only need assist less than 10 miles of steep roads. Did yours come with the 10ah battery instead of 7.8ah? Impressive if it performs better than tsdz2.
