    Rider weight limitations with ICONIC EVO TR 1 750

    I went with the Himiway ebikes with a few choices with 400lbs max limit. At my weight of 300lbs, I also factored in the added weight of Tannus tire liners, rack+bag, accessories, commuter backpack, suspension seatpost, water, tools, winter cloths, etc.. I purchased a full suspension Himiway...

    RAD Power Bikes Going Bust

    I have two 2016 Radrovers, 2019 Radcity step thru, and 2023 Radcity step-thru. I wonder should I get spare parts from them? I'm on my 3rd controller for my 2023 Radcity (might be one of the reasons for going out of business).

    shock absorbing seat posts

    I started out with Suntour NCX SP-12 on my hard tail Radrover back in 2017. It comes in 350mm or 400m post lengths for the 27.2mm size AND Hard red springs (+195lbs; but, not sure of max weight) or Soft blue springs (140-195lbs). Noticed a few Suntour NCX are shown with gray colored spring and...

    The Ultimate Mid-Drive Chain Care Thread

    I purchased two KMC e10 EPT Chains for my Himiway Cobra Pro with a 1000w/160Nm mid-drive (keep a spare in rack bag). Also giving the Silca wax system with Nano Tungsten Disulfide wax and one endurance chip a try. Tired of having to degrease the chain so much with a ton of black gritty muck...

    1,200 miles later (A7 Pro)

    It had me a little worried at first because I purchased the Cobra Pro 2 years ago and the warranty ran out last month (Murphy's Law of something breaking the day after the warranty expires). It just caught me off guard a little bit because it has been working perfectly for the two years prior.

    1,200 miles later (A7 Pro)

    I had a minor issue with a floppy right brake handle (all the way to the grip). The left brake handle felt fine and I didn't realize a problem until I was riding. I didn't see any leaks and assumed air in the line. Purchased a brake bleed kit on Amazon, $27, just incase if I need to bleed the...

    How would you rate your seat for comfort?

    Exactly! Most riders start with "out the box" (e)bike and you have options from there if notice any issues once you reach your normal riding conditioning/environment/frequency. There are other options to look at if you notice changing the saddle isn't enough over time. I would sometimes put...

    How would you rate your seat for comfort?

    The wife and I have used 5 Cloud-9 cruiser saddle (12.5"X11.5) with her two 2019/2023 Radcity Step Thru and my fat tire ebikes (two 2016 Radrover hardtails and 2023 Himiway Cobra Pro full suspension). I like Cloud 9 because we sit more on our "cheeks" compared to being jacked hammered in...

    1,200 miles later (A7 Pro)

    Sorry for taking so long to respond. I was out of state for a while visiting family. The adjustable stem I found for my 2023 Cobra Pro was on Amazon back in Oct of 2023 for $30 (no longer available). Zero issue since installation...

    Consider helping a University student by taking a quick survey about E-bikes!

    You are replying to a 2 year old thread and you can't keep a data collecting survey up forever. I suggest you read the dates of the post and really think before commenting to get a "gotcha" moment on an old/outdated/dead threads.

    Lubing an eBike chain

    I've even looked into motor cycle lift stands to see if that might work for my Cobra Pro or Rad Rovers. Just haven't research deep enough to figure out center lift or front or rear wheel lift could work on either ebike. Cleaning the chain on the ground and flipping upside down for tire/brake...

    Where do you keep your bike?

    I keep my 5 ebikes in my attached 950 sq-ft 3 car garage with two vehicles. I have five Steadyrack mounted on the wall for two 4 inch fat tire ebikes, one 4.8 inch fat tire ebike, and two 2.3 inch Radcity step-thru ebikes with fenders. I usually keep two ebikes on the garage floor in the open...

    Lubing an eBike chain

    My Himiway Cobra Pro with BaFang M620 mid-drive doesn't rotate the chain backwards when I need to clean/lube. I do the lean the +98lbs ebike on the kick stand to raise the rear tire, rotate pedals forward to clean/lube the chain.

    Looking for a cadence sensor commuting bike-where did they all go?

    I feel your pain with the Rad City. I purchased a Rad City5 Plus step thru for my wife in June/23. The controller is starting to go out again with zero PAS/throttle power randomly on a ride (power off/on to fix). This would be my 4th controller for this ebike when Rad sends a replacement...

    Tire Liners

    I haven't seen the Bull Thistle where I ride in central NM? We have a lot of goat heads and low to ground paddle cactus hiding in the tall grass/weeds being high desert (+5000 feet): Internet photos below and the reason I like some type of liner and/or sealant. Can be a lot goat heads even...

    Known Issues & Problems with Rad Power Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    ****Update**** The wife's 2023 Radcity step thru is acting up AGAIN! There is zero power from PAS or throttle once you use the throttle for any reason. PAS power returns back to normal when you turn the ebike power off/on. She noticed it is now starting to lose PAS power mid-ride when she...

    Tire Liners

    I started out with Mr. Tuffy liners for my 4" fat tire Radrover in 2016. Mr. Tuffy wasn't enough for extra long goat heads stickers and I needed to add two 4oz bottles of Stans tire sealant per tire as a back-up. The combo reduced my flats from 1-2 times a month to 1-2 times a year compared to...

    Big guy looking for good range ebike

    I have a Radrover 4" fat tire with 750w cadence sensor and my Himiway Cobra Pro has tq sensors. I have a difficult time matching her speed with the Radrover/cadence sensor when riding together. My Radrover PAS 1-5+7 speed gears don't really match up to her PAS 1-5+/7 speed gears. I'm either...

    Big guy looking for good range ebike

    I'm another big guy like you at 6'3" and 330lbs. I purchased a Himiway ebike back in 2023 and they are all rated for 80 mile max range (around 120km) and can handle between 330lbs-400lbs depending which ebike you purchase. I would save a bit for a really good saddle. My butt starts to give...
