In looking for a more powerful e-bike I see a number of adds (especially on Amazon) for dual powered bikes. Are these bikes being made as cheap mopeds or do you even pedal them? Is it safe to assume there are two batteries that need to be charged? Does anyone make one that is as reliable and...

There were two key issues that had me eliminate the different controller, one was the distance was dramatically reduced and the other was Bafang’s advice to not overheat the motor. I dont think I can change the number of PAS levels, so I guess the most reasonable answer is to keep the cadence...

10:52 sounds about right, is there a set of gears that are sturdy enough to handle the power? I think the bike currently has a set of Shimano Deore 10 speed gears but not if it is 12:48 or 10:52 or if they wont fail in the middle of a 50 mile ride.

I have the BBS02 on two other lighter bikes that we rode for about 4 years. I was tired of transporting bikes between houses so bought my wife a bike in Souther CA and she loved it so much that she bought a second one. The two BBS02 bikes are now bikes used by guests when they want to take a...

The current set up is pretty equivalent to a 52-12 and is great on the road. I typically ride in gear 11 but the comparison we did using the Aventon bike was calculated so we were using the same gearing ratio (sorry dont remember exactly what the gearing was). Of course climbing steep hills is...

Thanks for all the great info. It is almost time to fire up the wood stove in the barn and start pulling the 7 year old BBS02 off the hardtail and start getting the bike ready for the new set up in March…If Luna’s shipment arrives on time.

So the Zen has a cadence and a torque sensor? My old BBSHD only had a cadence sensor and the PAS setting determined the level of”power” provided if you were maintaining a minimum required cadence. I am trying to understand the relationship between PAS setting and actual ”power” provided. Zen...

I am planning on building my wife an E-Bike this Spring. It will be powered by a BBSHD motor and now I am trying to decide on the crank and rear gear set. Riding will be primarily roads in a rural and very hilly area. There are a couple of very steep hills that are about 300 yards long so she...

While this is not a problem I am curious about how the bike handles PAS. Since the bike has a torque sensor can you get maximum torque in the lowest PAS setting? I have noticed that the watt display can hit 1500 or max in the lowest PAS setting and that gets me wondering how it works. I am...

i did have a nice chat with Luna cycle and their new shipment of Bafang motors and kits should be at their store sometime in March. They said there are a number of build possibilities that include higher voltage controllers and batteries. They were a little concerned about heat if the bike was...

Thanks for the suggestions! I am working with the CYC folks on buying an X1 PRO at the same time I am talking to Luna cycle about a modified setup using a BBSD. The plan will be to take my steel framed hardtail Salsa Fargo and turn it into a <60 lb e bike. I did get the Zen worked out by...

Why the Ultra vs the M620? My M620 peaks at about 1600 watts in a steep climb. Ultra is rated at a max of 1700 watts.

Does Biktrix have any plans on producing the full suspension step through bike with the 2300 watt motor?

My wife’s Aventon came with a thudbuster and she loves it. I wonder if the ST comes with a single elastor or if it comes with several different ones. I weigh in at 198 now so probably need a firmer one. The Zen came with a single very stiff spring and very little flexibility. The Kinekt also...

My wife has a Thudbuster on her bike and swears by it. Would you go ST or LT and why? Never had a cast on, but 36 years in the military have enough scars on my body for 3 lifetimes.

Thanks, as soon as I get back in the states I will pull out the post and look firbthe number. Any suggestions on a good suspension post?

Johnny Watt tires is what I have on my bike. I sent Ravi pictures of the fender issue in May. Hopefully that problem is now fixed. Anybody have the actual size of the saddle post?

I purchased some more aggressive tires as a lot of our riding is on dirt and gravel roads. You wouldn’t believe how many small villages are connected in the mountains of Idaho via unimproved roads. Anyway, the front fender was constantly rubbing on the tires in spite of my attempts to adjust...

what size is the seat post? I did purchase the Zen seat post and have found it to be very stiff. I did try adjusting it however there was only one place to adjust and like the rest of the bike it came with zero instructions. Oh in converting or modifying the bike for long range rides (50+...

The Thule Epose is rated at 75lbs per bike. I am assuming that a class C RV will be the same.
