    Hub motor replacement

    Crunchy,slipping 750 hub- should I have the old one torn down and then have the new one laced in -or- since it’s exactly the same/should I open the case pull the failed guts out,and reload with the new guts? -it’s 1.5 years old and failed at 5K+ Bummer - what’s the best plan to get rolling...

    Why do the big bike brands (almost) never use hub motors?

    Agree! I’m sure mid drives are excellent,but when it starts making strange grinding noises there is literally nobody to fix it! Watch I’ll bet the lower end mid drives will start showing up on craigslist with notes like” it’s a great bike that could beat a cheap hub motor up hills” - all it...

    Hunting a unicorn?

    I love bikes and support local- but if the lbs has a bad attitude about your EBike- go elsewhere,in this whacked and rapidly changing economy- if the lbs doesn’t embrace ebikes frankly they have lost my business- Be like Gumby - Stay Flexible

    A Road-Cyclist Thoughts On E-Bikes

As I cranked it up a big hill with some pas he passed me -okay,but the look on his face and body language it was as if I had damaged a fragile ego,and he had to fix that! I...

    would this work for anti theft?

    I like that idea - if it could somehow electrocute the thief,that would be enjoyable! I have a cheap remote on/off hidden alarm - I’m still too paranoid to leave my bike vulnerable- but this thing would be very annoying and attract attention the second the bike was significantly jostled- Cheers

    I have to admit - I almost backed out of buying an ebike after joining EBR - glad I didn't

    That’s great - it’s mind blowing how the EBike thing has absolutely exploded! 15 years ago when I bought a hub motor lithium batteries were crazy expensive and the lead acid really put a crimp in the range/weight situation- Enjoy your bike! Mirror! Lights! Helmet ! You know ! Be safe

    Class 3 Road Bikes

    I’m curious about the torque numbers - if you have 70 on a hub and 70 on a mid drive how would they describe the difference with the mechanical advantage of the gears? I hear anecdotes like this mid drive climbs like a mountain goat - but don’t know of a numerical way to compare the two ? Sorry...
