    Rear hub motor maintenance

    Replaced the front and rear disc brake pads, much easier than I thought and the brakes now feel amazing compared to the old pads.

    Rear hub motor maintenance

    Thanks for the positive words, my local bike shops here in Florida rent eBikes all day long but do not want to work on them for some reason? It may be that they run them until they begin to fail and just replace instead of repair them?

    Rear hub motor maintenance

    Thanks for the great feedback, I will clock in another 1500 miles on the old gear set then install the new gear set. Now that I completed the rear hub project I am on to the next project, replacing front/rear disc brake pads.

    Rear hub motor maintenance

    Completed the rear hub motor tear down only to find that all I needed was a good amount of PPL-1 lube as the gear set was completely dry. I now have an extra gear set for future needs, none of my local bike shops wanted to help me out so I am glad I did it myself. Took it out for a few mile ride...

    Rear hub motor maintenance

    Looking to tear into my rear hub motor (350W geared) on my 2015 Leisger CD5, the gears are getting very loud and I think it may be time to crack it open and see what is going on. I have about 3500 miles of use on the bike and it performs very well except for the growling noise that is beginning...

I was an avid bike rider and enthusiast for many years but had to hang up my pedals a few years ago due to some pretty severe injuries. I began looking into an ebike as a way to...
