    Canopy added to hybrid etrike/scooter for some weather protection

    I too was in China and finally realized all the thousands and thousands and thousands of scooters there were electric. I began to watch and only saw two scooters that were obviously gasoline powered.

    Tube vs. Tubeless on ebikes

    Almost 100 percent of the flats on cars are on rear tires for that reason. My experience is to stay away from new housing projects. The nearer you ride to the curb the better chance of getting a flat.

    Brand new tire blew off the rim

    This happened many years ago when I was about 16 years old. I lived in farm country and our neighbor had four of us neighbor boys over to help him putting up hay. As a reward he took us to the movies and on the way he stopped to put air in a tire while we sat in the car. We got back on the road...

    E bikes with fenders

    As a kid I-we always removed the fenders. Jeez you had to look cool after all. Did we mind getting wet and dirty, NO we were kids. Today for the kind of riding I do the fenders stay on. The little weight they add doesn't amount to a hill of beans especially with an ebike.

    Is it safe to freely use the throttle WHILE PEDALING on a mid drive?

    Have you actually tested this or is it something you are theorizing about? You must have a lot of time to do all those oil changes not to say all the oil filters you use. Do you use the cheapest you can find on sale too?

    Install Voltage Meter on ebike

    A little trick I have used over the years for testing and tapping into wires without damaging them is to carefully stick the wire with a small pin on the end of my tester wires to test for voltage etc. You will just have to prick the wire a bit to get contact with the copper in the wire to get...

    In my opinion there isn't much out there of higher quality that isn't proprietary. Every automobile, name brand motorcycle etc.is proprietary except the Chinese who buy various parts and pieces, put them together to make an item and put their brand name on it. It makes it cheaper in more ways...

    I suspect you wouldn't want to get caught in the rain or on a wet muddy road either.

    Is it safe to freely use the throttle WHILE PEDALING on a mid drive?

    What a can of worms you have opened. You don't but why not? By the way Stefan, what do you have on your bicycle, car ATV or what have you that you don't need???

    Power consumption

    I have a Prodigy ST and am wondering if it anyone has discovered a power consumption readout that I haven't been able to find. I have had two bikes before and they both had an active watt consumption readout on the display and miss it on my Prodigy.

    First e bike Step Thru Tall person

    There are bikes out there with a cadence or torque sensing setting that also have a throttle. My juiced Rip current did. I sold the bike because I went with a narrower tire and needed a step through bike. I nearly always used the torque sensing setting which worked very well. If I needed a...

    Looking for input/advice on first e-bike

    I wouldn't expect a $1,500 bike to compare to a $5,000. bike but to say a $1,500. bike is unrepairable is simply not true.

    Specialized/Brose motor failures?

    "I wasnt really sure what context this was in but I have had small bike shops that I used to take my old road bike too say they werent really sure what to do with my Giant when I was having some controller issues. Working on the electrical problems is what I was making a point on. Controllers...

    Specialized/Brose motor failures?

    I can understand a bike shop not wanting to work on the electrical parts of an e-bike as there are so many one off electric variations of the system out there it would be impossible to know them all. Refusing or not wanting to work on the normal parts and pieces (there are not that many) any...

    Reason for price discrepancy between R&M and Gazelle

    Most Specialized bikes have a very quiet motor which to me is worth a-lot.
