I can only assume being a has_been makes one bitter 🙃

You need to have some trouble shooting skills and experience with a voltage meter... but I would start with checking all the connections starting from the battery to the controller. Check the battery connector for signs of wear/damage, they should be shiny and not dull or dark in color. Reset...

Yes in a way it is... There are lots of immigrants in the US and maybe I'm wrong but the op appears to be writing in their second language. Not an excuse but it can be a struggle and short sentences without a lot of fluff are easier to translate/understand for some in this situation. No need to...

I was brought up to ignore d_bags who's ax grinding stone never goes cold. 🙃

The ever growing acceptance of mediocrity is alarming.... but no qualifications is indefensible.

Just take your time and be patient and don't try to muscle the tire on from the get_go. Lube the bead with soapy water and having a little air in the tube usually helps. Work one side at a time. An air shock is usually a noticeable improvement over a lower end coil. The micro bleed valve on...

Poorly vetted and unlicensed are two totally different things. I would think that the bus company is in a whole lotta s*it for the latter But yet somehow an already restricted rental ebike is to blame and not the no helmet numbskull riding it or the criminally irresponsible bus company that...

But when they both fail.... which one should you use first?

I guess reading isn't required and regurgitating the usual ignorance is all that can be expected. The bike in question is an already speed restricted widely used rental ebike and the block_head riding it left the helmet in it's storage basket.

That does look similar to the one I use but right off the bat you can see that the dial is different. Also when it comes from China, their knockoffs, knockoffs have knockoffs... each looking similar, but going down in quality. So it can be hard to pick the best of the litter. I also think it's a...

My approach is this....the battery seems to be most stable at its storage charge, typically between 40 - 60% So I work out from there in use cheating to the higher SoC for practicality. So if that 20% isn't enough for a ride I'll go 40 - 80%  ... Then 35 - 85% and so on moving in both...

In terms of longevity, the optimal charge voltage is 3.92V/cell. Battery experts believe that this threshold eliminates all voltage-related stresses; going lower may not gain further benefits but induce other symptoms 3.92v/cell is approximately 80% (See BU-808b: What causes Li-ion to die?)...

Half link chains are not stronger... The weak and wear points are the pins and rollers not the side plates. Their purpose is to facilitate a more exact chain legnth that is often an issue with BMX bikes. You'd be much better off with an e_rated chain on a powerful mid_drive.

I'm not using thick or puncture resistant tubes myself.... But I am using Flat Out which seems to be working well as I haven't had a flat in over 8000mi. The one flat I did get over 2 years ago was from a pretty big rusty nail.

I've had this one for 5 years now. . . And it works very well without issue. It has a quick release lever to depress the pin so there's no air loss disconnecting which is a recommended feature on any shock pump since they are high pressure/low volume. The shock brand'd pumps (Fox, Rockshox)...

I don't know... C sounds pretty good 🙃 🤣 You have to understand that On and Off road requires a much different tread, especially if you ride spirited. There are hybrid all terrain tires out there, but not so much in the fat tire world right now. Even then they are a compromise as they don't...

Supposedly the Zen has a 3yr Warranty... but they've all been missing in action since the beginning of the year.

Like I mentioned the DIY Smart Charge Adapter that I put together has some redundancy built in with two shut down settings of SoC and time. Then when fed by the Tapo outlet that adds a separate 3rd shutdown with another timer. But at the end of the day even if they all failed On you would still...

You're just not having good luck with this bike. Curious... How are you receiving Rohloff support? From an LBS or thru Zen? That said my first Rohloff from Zen came with a myriad of installation mistakes and fuck_ups. From a missing Freewheel Spring to torn gaskets, missing bolts, crimped...

These TP_Link Tapo Outlets work well and are very easy to set up. You can set up any type of Schedule or timer On/Off/ desired and are easily monitored and controlled by a smart phone. You can turn them On locally and they'll run what ever you have set up. I find them a lot more versatile than a...
