What does a brake switch do exactly and how does it work?

I did a bit more reading and my conclusion is I should have this. I am not nimble like I was at 30-35 and wouldn’t want something unsafe. I will ask the bike shop about adding hydraulics etc. There is one shop that I think knows the ins and outs of ebikes and confident they will give me...

Interesting take which I haven’t heard before. I will think about the cut off on my way home. And whether I need it. I guess by not having the cutoffit would ride more like a regular bike? I think the reason for the cut off is safety right? I am not sure a bike shop would do this. I suppose...

I desperately want to upgrade the brakes on my Core-5. They have been driving me nuts. I am a big rider and need the best possible stopping power. I have two blocks on my commute that are very very steep downhill. Along with living in the city I need good stopping. Does anyone have a...

Interesting.

Thanks!

Haha i am such a newb. I now realize the controller is actually near the battery in the downtube? I always thought when “the controller” was used meant the display. I basically want to protect the electrical parts the best I can. We get lots of rain in the winter. Thanks. Btw I have the...

I am very curious to know if riders use anything to protect their controller from rain? I live in the pacific northwest and get quite abit of rain in winter. Anyone else similar and what do they use to protect the controller? Thanks.

Awesome! Glad to hear that. Wish me luck lol.

Aww thanks. I have purchased the ride1up core 5. Its around 50 lbs. I did see the Rideal which I would have bought but they didn’t ship to Canada. Hopefully my core will be assembled tomorrow.

Ok. That’s encouraging. But what happened to the straps?

Thanks for your support. I am hoping all the parts and documentation is inside. Hopefully nothing is bent or twisted etc. I am having someone assemble and tune it.

Sure. Give me a few minutes. Every unboxing video i have seen has the straps as well. You can also see holes where the old staples were. They did re-staple.

I have been looking at many options and done lots of research on ebikes the past few years. Finally I found something. I live north of the border and live in a walkup apartment. I decided on the Core-5. I bought due its weight and what seems like good value for an entry level bike. I won’t...

I am curious. How much was it total to convert? And how much extra weight on the bike? And the kicker for me is I could never put it together and would cost money on top of everything else.

Aww I did some pricing a few days ago on conversion and it’s expensive etc and might as well buy a new bike with motor.

BBSHD? Secret code for ?

Thank u! I would be buying this pretty much blindly. I know there are measurements but its best finding people like yourself commenting. Plus I am north of the border so even more risk.

Nope. I wanted to be sure it helps up the hills. But I read further and I don’t think it has a throttle. Unfortunately I love the look and weight of the bike but it’s not going to work. And yes regarding gears. I tried an ebike last week with no gears and didn’t work well for me. I am now...

Hello. I live in the Pacific Northwest. Vancouver BC to be specific. I am concerned if I order this bike it will have issues climbing up the hills as it has 250W of power. I realise power isn't everything but 250W doesn't sound like it would work for hills? Thanks
