I run an extension cord to my neigbors house at night. Keeps my energy bill low.

I recommend you follow PedalUma's advice above. And look at quality, well known, used ebikes, that can be serviced locally. This Forum is filled with guys that are looking for help diagnosing and fixing thier crappy ebikes and trying to source parts. I say this as somebody that purchased my...

Easy to do. Just take your time. There is no magic to it. I did mine becuase the bike store said it would take them two weeks. I wanted to ride the next day.

There is an old but true adage in the retail industry. "You don't stock inventory for the the 10 percenter." Fat Bikes (4") account for less than 10% of bike sales. They had an uptick a few years ago, but interest has waned among true bike enthusiasts. If you are a large manufacturer or...

Thanks, yes I've been running parafin for three years. It is amazing how clean the chain stays! I replace the chains due to chain stretch. I could run the same chain the whole year, but they do stretch a bit, so I do it as routine maintenance. The Rohloff rear sprocket is very forgiving even...

The M600 on the Luna X-2 is 95nm max. My Z-1 (160nm) did require two chains, and two full rear cassettes per year. But I ride extremely hard. I put a Rohloff 14 Speedhub on my Z-1 22 months ago and it is runs very nicely. I still need two chains per year.

You will want the Bafang mid drive product for power, reliability, ubiquitous parts supply. Forget rear hubs. I would look at the Luna Cycle X-2. It's carbon fiber, weighs 58lbs, and uses the Bafang M600 which will power you up the hills with throttle or torque sensing. There aren't many...

Based on prvious posts, you've owned a BBSHD and an Ultra Zen Photon with torque sensing. Do you still have the Photon? Were those motors powerful enough for you?

I concur with @JRA. Installed Cornhead in July 2022. Opened it up and slathered some more in April 2023 (see pic). Getting ready to check it again this month. I just slathered it in there very unscientifically.

I don't think it's possible on the Aventon product line. I had two Aventon Levels, and my friend has an Aventure. We installed new KT Controllers and Dislpays instead, which are not restricted.

What are you trying to achieve? Cadence or torque sensing on your model?

Welcome Violet, and nice color on the bike. BBSHD is a workhorse.

That's easy, everybody just needs to buy high quality bikes. Unfortanately, not everyone can afford, or justify higher priced quality at first. I understand your "Call", but you cannot thwart the invisible hand of the market, which will always provide for an endless supply of cheap products...

It should work om the KT Controller fine.

We should get a ride in together this Spring or Summer.

Yeah, this has been the worst ridig conditions since November. Unusually wet

I cannot believe how sweet it is when paired with the ever powerful Ultra. A total pleasure to ride, glad you are digging yours as well.

Gotcha. Thanks for the info

Sorry to hear that he busted the hub. One thing I have done is eliminate my throttle. I never used it while riding, the torque sensing really works well for me. I've been running the full 30A on my Ultra with no problems. Out of curiosity, do you remember how many teeth he was running on the...

Probably not.
