OK, looks like my Kindernay VII hub is dying after ~1700-1800 miles ridden from April 2022. 😭😭😭 Starting last week I start getting frequent skips on 4th and 5th gear, and on weekend ride I lost the 5th gear completely. It is simply not get engaged and instead I am getting 4th with some...

Schwalbe Marathon GT 365? I bought them as winter tires for this season - they are marketed as all-year-any-weather, but probably too aggressive for commuting on good surfaces.

Updates regarding the shifting issue. As advised by Kindernay I did bleed the shifters and change the oil in the rear hub. Issue gone (at least after short ride I did today - will get better idea after couple of commutes). Interesting fact - hub was almost empty - I was able to squeeze only few...

I think the default cables all have some extra length to allow that. Unfortunately my setup is not relevant anymore since I replaced all cables already...

Don't see any problem here - any handlebar with 31.8mm stem mount diameter will work.

Well, I will try. So, normally when you shift and press the lever, you feel a bit of resistance, then click and shifting is done. Now for my 1-4th and 7th everything still same, but when I try to shift to 5th/6th there is no click/switch, the lever just goes far end, all next presses are...

After about 1500 miles I start getting issues with shifting: switching to 5th and 6th gear is really problematic, other gears are fine. This probably means the shifter is fine and the issue is in hub? Anyone has/had something like this? Any ideas what can I do? Going to contact Kindernay about...

Roads are only for cars, parking is only for cars, charging is only for cars, country is only for cars! So much wasted opportunities for US with this crazy car-centric mindset.

I do this for a year already and that's why I except some parity with the cars in some aspects (including access to EV chargers or dedicated charging ability when required). But majority still consider bikes/e-bikes as things for fun only, which is completely not true.

Thanks, didn't ask for advice here. Not sure why do you even care to come to this thread if you consider this unsafe and unlawful. I don't, so I shared my experience with others who agree with me.

I don't know if you read my initial post, but the reason I did this is listed there under separate goal section. Yes, I have two batteries setup and I am using them for longer touring rides. Right now I am mostly focusing about 40-60 miles, but really want to start doing 100+ miles. For this...

I actually think there are few reasons they don't do it: 1. They don't care much about non-cars in general and don't consider e-bikes a big deal (even if numbers they they are). I doubt there is a voice out there who mention e-bikes and micro-mobility when they planning to spent those billions...

No worries, just don't do it. I am not advertising anything here - just sharing my own experience. This is actually what forums are for btw. P.S. I didn't do my own system - I purchase one adapter and use official charger to use it. No need to tinker with wires here. And probability of causing...

Lucky if you have one at your place. I said I don't have even bike racks at my location with exception of REI store (thanks them for remembering about cyclists). I would always prefer to use outlet (and I already doing, thanks to https://nyceboarding.com/map for info), however I would also...

I should also stop using the road to stop frustrating pure car owners? I heard too much of this s**t already. Since nobody cares about ebikers, we will care about ourselves. There was no issue for EV station designers to add regular outlet to each of them so I can just use it, but they didn't do...

Sorry, buy I completely disagree with you here. Protecting car owners in US from "evil ebikes" sounds bizzare to me. Are you living to US, riding bike and still really think cars here need favors from cyclists and ebikers? The whole road infrastructure in US already super entirely cat-centric...

$0.00 1. They are free (for now?) with 2 hours limit 2. As I mentioned, station didn't notice that charging was happening at all (it shown "connected" vs "in use"), so I think I can stay as long as I need without any time limit enforce if there are no other people around to use it.

I would say if it doean't have free limit in it (i.e. in hours or power consumed), I would consider it as emergency recharge location. Or if it has proper implementation of pay-per-use without those $5 minimums (i.e. you can put some money on account and it will use them when you paying for...

This is same voltage half of the world have in their power sockets at home, so I personally think you are dramatize things a bit. If EV station has standard 110V socket I would just use it, but they are not (at least those I have in my neightbouhood), so I will use available workarounds to be...

For me actually the fact it gives 240V was a benefit, since Bosch superfast 6A charger only available for EU market and needs 220V. So I can use it at EV stations and can't at home (without 110->220 transformer).
