This mid-drive was $350, which included shipping. I'd call it a beginner ebike. So bargains are out there, but it's definitely buyer be aware territory.

He sure won't hurt his knees pedaling on that bike.;)

I'll make my mind up after I ride one. If they make enough of them and go under my chance of scoring one only improves. I still want want one off those hub less ebikes too. They just didn't make enough of them before they folded.

Try it, you might like it. ;)

Watch the video and then post!

Rivian/Also ebike

If you are new to ebikes, get use to it. On your bike, the battery looks nicely sized. There are monsters out there:

No elastomers on my Suntour NCX. I believe Cane Creek is elastomeric.

They did build some interesting frames. They cashed in early on the cargo ebike craze. I wouldn't mind a Rad Wagon 1 to fix up. Maybe our tariff madness will raise the price of the crazy cheap ebike imports and make rebuilding a Rad viable, but until then it's not a viable business model. Not...

I've never been impressed by a pogo stick seat post. They are common and cheap. I also use one of those parallelogram Suntour NCX suspension seatpost, and it works fine. You can spend up to $300 for a suspension seatpost, add a quality saddle and you're sitting on over five hundred bucks!

Rad bikes were the #1 ebike here in the early pandemic, so they were quite successful for awhile. I guess, on the bright side for bottom feeders like me, the price of used Rad bikes will plumet. After a few years an ebike needs a rescue, and with no Rad what will the owners of those bikes do?

So I take it that the Keyde is a direct-drive hub motor with a controller inside the hub. It's been done before, though with noted controller failures because the heat of the motor and controller together in the same can (though mid-drives do the same thing). Maybe, due to material advances...

Probably not, and yes. Just take good measure of the axle and search for it. Since you have a nice bike look at upscale retailers like Jensen, etc.. If you seek low price, search on Amazon or eBay.

Welcome, GMA52, to the family.

I have this beautiful road bike. I replaced the freehub for lower gears, the bike fits great. I was riding it last spring, and thought I would be putting the miles down. Naw, hardly touched it all summer and fall. Too many ebikes in the bike shed :confused:.

Hey ECeBiker, do you have hills where you ride? In my world I would be terrified going downhill with your rig

I could say I feel your pain, but, alas, I can only feel my pain. Coming off a motorcycle at speed would truly be a terrifyingly painful experience. You have my sympathy. I had a competition use 250 Honda Elsinore for a short bit. Sold to me cheap because the owner migrated from southern...

I must be doing something wrong, I wrecked my body on bicycles. I've been good so far on motorcycles. Love your seat. Does that sound kinky?

Probably not a big production run, but on the bright side you get to to start the thread on this ebike.

On my electric motor cycle the only brake lever/pedal I use is the front brake, but it's got regenerative braking on the rear wheel. On my Huffy Oslo, a 20 inch folder, I learned the hard way to never use the front brake if you had a drink. :confused:
