This is just a thought about the oil being discussed here for the Kindernay hub . Oil for the lower end of outboard motors is a very special high pressure duty oil and may be a good alternative for your hub.

This is something one may consider when making electrical connections in wet salty conditions. I live up North in the USA where the roads are very salty especially in the winter. When installing a trailer light connections the only type wire connection that would not corrode in the future was a...

Dorkyman, I fully agree with you on solvent stripping away the lubrication from the bearing surfaces of a chain. The solvent has little if any lubricating quality to it so to get new oil/lube into those bearings the new lube would have to strip away the solvent before it can get in and lubricate...

How fast is too fast for me, well that depends on many things on a particular day. If I am out to reach a destination far away or I am just out joy riding to see the scenery and smell the roses. whatever the spirit moves me to ride like that day. If I am going down hill on a straight, smooth...

Welcome Tom. I had that same problem with one of my bikes. A weld had slightly melted into the tube and left a high spot. You will have to file or grind it off or it will score the new post too. I could get at the spot with a round file as it wasn't too far down in the tube.

A break cutoff shuts the motor off instantly when the break leaver is applied.

Regarding brake motor cutoff. I think it depends on the power delivery of the bike on if is necessary or not. One of my bikes would keep delivering power for a bit after I quit peddling for about a second which is dangerous if you have to panic stop. I have a steep driveway and have to keep...

This is the greatest since sliced bread. What took so long? So many advantages over the single speed hub motor and even the mid drive with a derailer.

I can't answer your question but I do normally charge when at 50% to 80% on all of my lithium ion batteries if possible only because the people in the know seem to recommend that. My Question is what do ebike batteries only last such a short time verses auto electric autos lasting 10 plus...

Out of business. I had a Juiced RCS that had a very smooth torque sensing system. You could not tell when it kicked in or shut off without lookin to see if it was using any watts. The good ones are out there but finding one that work well could be a chore.

That is a lot of miles. Tell us what has been replaced and repaired.

My first ebike was a Juiced RCS to which Juiced aded $300.00 tariff fee to the price They said they also contributed but could not absorb the entire tariff fee. I was not a happy camper.

Has anyone considered the friction caused by heavy grease. Friction is a big issue in the efficiency geared motors. From what I have read it is one of the reason bevel cut gears are seldom used in ebike motors. Quiet ebike motors are nice though. It is one of the reasons to love electric power.

What others find comfortable may not work for you so take advice with a grain of salt. I started riding bikes again 3 years ago and am probably on at least my fifth or sixth seat and still haven't found anything that fits perfect or is even remotely comfortable after a longer ride. Bicycle seats...

Jeez, don't force it get a bigger hammer.

I bought a Juiced bike because I was sure it was a strong and stable company around for the long haul. The party who bought it from me felt the same way. We all know how that turned out. The fact is it is really hard to tell how strong and solvent a company will fair in the long run.

Is this a proper question?

"IMO, most maps are better at giving you the big picture. It's easy to see your location in relation to other landmarks" This is so true.

The fragile bicycle components is the limiting factor or they turn into motorcycles.

Consumers Reports has several they that they have tested. You don't have to pay a lot to get a safe helmet.
