I loved my V7 but it was too much of a bike for me so it had to go. Prior to the V7 I had a TW200 that I took on the ferry from Bellingham WA to Haynes AK then rode 2600 miles back home including Banff, also a 170cc scooter bought sight unseen (had never even been within 100 yards of a scooter...

Bike and component prices from recognized brands has never made any sense to me. I had a hand made/assembled in Italy Moto Guzzi V7 750cc with abs, traction control and many intricate parts and technology that new cost <$7400 USD in 2016 and a run of the mill aluminum frame BH Yamaha powered...

Good information, thanks for sharing. Charging to only 90% of the battery capacity is probably good for battery life too. Unfortunately for me biking wise (otherwise fortunately for me) I ride hilly routes with some very steep sections so neither the Qiroll Mute nor Pro provide enough assist...

Keyde sells a 33v battery in 7ah and 10ah versions, they must be 9s but you can check with them and if available on AliExpress. The Qiroll battery charges to 37.8v as you can see by checking the output voltage printed on your charger and/or testing your fully charged battery with a voltmeter...

I don't live in California so I looked up the AI summary which seems to indicate that it has a wide support base: "The legislation has garnered support from bicycle coalitions, safety organizations, and trail management groups, as it provides law enforcement with the exact legal framework they...

Everyone seems to want the government to take action, but nobody wants to pay for it. Which is why the US fed is ~40 trillion in debt, >$110,000 for every man, woman and child including the 40% of US households that pay no federal income tax. It doesn't seem to me that we lack laws to regulate...

My experience with the 515 has been different, it has reliably detected other bikes as well as people walking up behind a stationary bike. I love it and find myself reluctant to ride without it, certainly on roads but even on paths/rails to trails. I'm not sure what fixed mine, I only...

I read that the Garmin out of warranty exchanges are refurbished units, not worth the trouble of trying to sell a refurb that I paid potentially $90 for when new are $149. The 820 looks like a nice higher spec unit but I'm happy with 515 performance so no need for an upgrade. Not to mention...

Thanks for replying. Can you describe what the problems were with yours? Mine is out of warranty and besides my timeline for use I would have rather paid $150 for a new one than take a chance on a possible refurbished exchange from Garmin for $90 (if that is what they really charge). I also...

I wonder if anyone else has had their Varia malfunction? Bought mine in '23 and it has worked well until yesterday when it stopped working and wouldn't turn on even though the battery had been fully charged with solid green charging light. I did a hard reset with the power button held for 8...

Over the last few months I've seen kids riding and doing wheelies on Emotos, some with pedals, some without, in parking lots, in groups on sidewalks and taking the lane on surface streets. As well as a maybe 6 year old riding a moto (no pedals) zipping along on a sidewalk in town and once...

Post up pictures when you get around to it. This thread has a lot of potentially helpful information on a number of aspects for Qiroll users. I've used a few different types of spring door hinges, they all worked for my applications. They tended to be made of stainless steel which can be a...

I used a spring loaded door hinge, the kind that you can adjust tension. The ones with a strong spring worked best but there can be fitment issues due to the length of the hinge so it depends on the mounting location and clearances for your specific bike.

You should read the entire thread on the UK pedelec forum that I linked. Later posts in the thread indicated that someone tried to substitute a non-proprietary 24v battery which didn't work. The OP initially indicated that the #3 connector was only for display voltage reading but later in a...

They look to have a bottom bracket that was used to house electrical connections. The Panasonic motor mount appears to have been added below the bottom bracket, maybe to repurpose a standard bike frame - at least it looks that way, sort of. Angle grinder to cut off the motor bracket and maybe...

IMO listen to Harry. Why not just buy a 24v battery? Per this 15 year old UK pedelecs forum post https://www.pedelecs.co.uk/topic/10059-using-other-batteries-on-panasonic-lithium-powered-units/#post123662 "Positive connection to the platform pin position 5 nearest the front of the bike...

My mistake, I found the old Shimano freehub which indeed does have a dust seal that looks more robust and removable so I should be able to swap that into the freehub on the Jack.

The metal ring is integral to the rubber part, is very thin and deformed beyond use.

It's from a Dahon Jack 26" folder with a non-branded hub. The original 7 speed freehub had what seemed to be a significant wobble and I wanted to upgrade to 8 speed for a wider range 12-42t cassette that I had in the parts bin (possible for this hub without altering the 135mm O.L.D.). The only...
