    Pinion Motor.Gearbox.Unit (MGU)

    The ebiketips article mentions R&M have designed this to make replacing the motor possible. Of interest it is reported that "other systems could potentially be retrofitted to the bike". Assuming the reporter got this tidbit from R&M I wonder hypothetically what might be involved in swapping out...

    Prodecotech outlaw 1200.

    You should choose a controller that can be programmed to lower the current drawn to match the current to which the battery's BMS is rated. Either that or buy both controller and battery from Woosh. You won't need the throttle as they're not UK legal. But now you mention it I recall some...

    Prodecotech outlaw 1200.

    In that case I recommend you contact Woosh in Southend, they are a UK dealer in MXUS motors which I understand was Prodecotech's motor supplier, and they can likely supply a replacement 48v controller programmed to UK legal parameters, they might fit Anderson connectors on request or they may...

    Prodecotech outlaw 1200.

    Hi Billy, I couldn't find a manual online for the Outlaw 1200 model but there is for the Outlaw SE and the Outlaw SS models. Assuming similarity, look on page 26 and it says the controller "is located in the battery base which is attached to the bicycle. The battery base is the box where the...

    E-bike price increase due to new Tariffs ( non political thread) anyone hear how much?

    The tariff price jump may also coincide with seasonal offers expiring, I paid $1250 for a RadExpand in March on sale, today it's $1600 which is what Rad were stating was the msrp, am curious to see what the price will be next week.

    RadExpand suspension stem

    Today I fit a Meroca suspension stem I bought off Amazon. Going to give the red spring a try. A 7 degree rise so folding it doesn’t affect the short wiring loom.

    RadExpand brake inhibitor extension wire

    200 miles on my RadExpand and a month of folding to take it on MetroRail during my commute and I found I needed to fix a known problem with the wiring harness - the brake inhibitor wire coming out of the left brake handle is a couple inches too short. Every time I fold the handlebars, the...

    E-bike Insurance

    Personal liability is one reason why I took out a Markel policy, although these days I'm less concerned about the possibility of accidentally hitting a pedestrian on the path because like you I use my bell and ride slowly around them. I'm more concerned that drivers are both litigious and...

    UL Certified Ebikes

    Weird about Bosch. It looks like RadPower had UL certify their new for ‘24 Radster models, whereas the rest of their lineup were tested as UL compliant last year by ACT Lab.
