There's a section of a busy state road I have to ride for about a quarter mile to get to the good, light traffic roads. I ride into the traffic on that stretch because the shoulder of the road is at least twice as wide as it is on the other side. What I'm doing there is proably illegal but it...

Thanks, it's a project I need to do and will get it done once the cold weather arrives. I read somewhere that the ultra can go 3-4,000mi. before needing re-greased. I sure hope that's the case.

Yeah, I do have to grease the motor. Not sure I have everything I need to take it out of the bike though. I'd gladly pay to have it done but I don't think there's anyone around here that would do it. I'm guessing if I let it go, the gears will wear but they are replaceable right?

I got over 2,000mi. on the original chain, I'm happy with that. The motor hasn't been taken apart yet to re-grease but it's as quiet today as it was when it was brand new 3 years ago. Maybe the guy on the assembly line was generous w/ the grease that day. I really do need to take it apart and do...

I generally take it pretty easy on my ultra motor but today I throttled it hard trying to beat the rain getting home. I was doing 30+mph for maybe six miles. When I got home I felt the battery which was not hot so I was happy about that. I then put my hand on the shell of the motor and it was...

Is this the right room for an argument?

I always wear a helmet as do most but it amazes me how we grew up in the 60's and 70's with no head protection. On bikes and on the ski slopes. After some of the facial injuries I've seen from ebikes, I'm half tempted to wear my full face mtc helmet

I believe the e-dirt bike category is now referred to as "e-moto" which includes the surrons etc. It really is a shame that their recklessness is affecting all of us or WILL affect all of us eventually. I have the 1,000 watt motor but you'd never know it by how I ride the bike. I can see how...

True, where I live in N Michigan, I never see LEO's, even on MUPs. I don't fly by people with throttle only either. The one sticking point is taking the bike to Mackinac Island. I believe the latest rules there allow ebikes if you have a disability and you don't have to "prove" your disability...

I didn't think about that. The thumb throttle is fast and easy to remove but I still have 1,000watts so how does that make me legal. I guess I have to bank on LEO not being able to recognize an ultra motor

Thanks for the info on the throttle. I may just buy one. My worry there is if I buy one and really like it, I'll be using the throttle all the time instead of PAS but as it is now, I think my thumb throttle is borderline dangerous

I don't see where the half twist throttle is specifically for the ultra motor, either that or I'm not reading it right.

The PAS modes took some getting used to. The Haibike was much more "natural" That said, I'm happy with the PAS modes but would like to tone them down in the lower levels and reduce the motor after run time. I don't think this is possible with canbus tuning at this time or if it is, it's...

I won't be trying to convert my canbus to uart and I'm also not ready to drop 800 bucks on a new motor but it's good to know that's possible in the future, if needed. WIth 3,500mi. on the bike (Rize RX) I've become pretty skilled w/ the throttle which I rarely use anyway. I'm happy w/ all the...

But more importantly, how important IS bran fiber? My ultra is a beast and I'd love to be able to tone it down in the lower PAS modes but I don't think that's possible with canbus. I think if I nailed the touchy throttle in ANY gear it would snap the chain so that's another thing I'd like to tune

Fight! Fight!

I'd love to find a simple dongle or device to program my CANBUS Bafang ultra.

So now I have to take the spoiler off my 91' Honda CRX? geeez

I did buy a larger chainring but it was poor quality aluminum and there's an issue with clearance of the chain stay as well. I'm getting over 2,000mi. on a chain with the stock setup and I'm rarely going faster than 25mph so I just live with it but I think a quality chain ring with a few less...

I'm glad to hear it's not just me with the Bafang thumb throttle!
