I love Amsterdam. I love the food. I mean, it’s a very diverse selection. I’d love to move there when I retire, but that’s too far to be from family here. It’s a hard decision. Thanks for sharing the photos. The bike culture was one of the things I liked. They are everywhere. Very easy to get...

That’s the problem. Not many people are willing to do this work. It’s not like you just swap it out. A new BMS may have a different interface (towards the battery series cells) and you may need to solder in a new 14 wire harness. Then you have to resolder the charging and discharging leads. Of...

Oh yea. They both had helmets. I thought that was cool. Helmets look good with bikes. It’s odd when I see one without the other, but sometimes there is good reason. Most people I’ve seen on a 20” fat tire bike like that was 3. Only the rider had a helmet. My kid rides a radrunner. I noticed...

I saw a kid, on a Radrunner, pedaling with all his efforts up a hill. He had a girl on the rear seat. They were all smiles while I passed them. So they were having fun with it. Well, she was anyway. lol. I can only imagine he learned that even though his battery gauge showed 2, of 5 bars, that...

It’s a Battery Management System. It’s responsible for monitoring the battery pack. If low voltage is registered, the BMS will shut the pack down. Which is what I suspect may have happened. The BMS will (should) also manage cell balancing while charging, could monitor temp (if built for that)...

I agree that selling it as is and buying a new ebike is a good choice. Im sure you’ll disclose the faulty battery when you list it. 😀 Seems like a BMS issue. Someone might be able to fix the issue.

I read that thread. Wow. Thats quite an escapade. Glad you didn’t get hurt on that thing. It’s awesome that the dealer is advocating for you and working the phones/emails.

Right on! Yea, I’ve seen that video. As well as numerous others. That bike pulls hard. Micha (EbikeSchool) has a good video detailing how to wire a single throttle to 2 controllers. I have a dual 23A BrainPower controller system that I’ll install. It came with a display too. I’ll set the...

Truth! I can’t tell you how many times I went to a neighbors yard (back when neighbors didn’t mind) to hose off my elbow after I fell in the street. Us kids all played flag football on a loose gravel street.

Ok. Feeling the peer pressure now. Imma gonna burn some Vado to relieve the pressure. Haha

You can add CarPlay while you are at it. ;)

Wow. I feel like I should have a water bottle. I mean, I have the bottle cage. Problem is, I only ride 4 miles to work. I feel like I could use a generic plastic squeeze bottle and fill it with bike tools as storage. Then again, I’m only traveling 4 miles.

Nail clippers work well too. 😶‍🌫️

100% agree! I’m putting a dual motor bike together. It’s got 2 direct drive motors. Definitely wanting to give 5mil Statorade to each motor. Once I can get around better, I’ll continue the build. I’m using an EVG 24v bike as the donor. lol.

This is great to hear. If my existing motor ever goes out, I’ll be sure to get the RH212. I’ve been looking at that motor for a couple of years now. It’s heavy, but should still be able to climb the hills along my commute.

Looks like you can remove the taillight from the rear rack. If you can, then remove it and move it closer to the controller and pull the slack from the controller side. You don’t need to pull the whole length of wire out, but just enough to do your splicing. Then tuck it all back and re-mount...

That white wire, does that have a connector on it? The speed limiter wire is usually a single wire connected to itself. You shouldn’t have to cut anything. You could replace the controller and display, assuming they work. Even though the connectors look the same, you MAY have to realign the...

Ahh, yes. I’ve got lots of wiring in my bike and it was choking the inner cable at where the cables and wires enter the frame. Also put some 3in1 oil in there. Shifting got better. I haven’t rode in cold weather yet so I don’t, yet, know if that was the issue.

Going with a DTC bike, I enabled myself to learn a new hobby. Turns out I really like it and I’m learning quick. After reading horror stories of various DTC customer service and support issues, I decided I was going to be the electrician and mechanic. Im not willing to waste hours of my time...

At the price of that derailleur, I’d probably buy a whole new unit instead of buying just the one piece too. I just thought it was interesting to see how it all works and where the springs are. Since the manual doesn’t reveal their location, but does say to “wash and lubricate all moving parts.”...
