It was stupid, Dave. Totally my bad. The kickstand is very welcome (usually) on Fättie because it helps with small repairs, etc. It’s designed not to fold up when you pedal (intentionally), but in this case I wish it did. :)

Road rash from today’s ride. I’m OK, but this is why I hate riding on blacktop! The moral of the story is put up the kickstand before making a left-hand turn!

I don’t know, JG… You could get some big air going over that cargo container on the train. :D

I’ll bet @PedalUma could build you one from an analog recumbent if you wanted. IIRC he was working on one recently.

Good to see you back on the fat bike, Charge!

The power connector on the rear chainstay that goes to the motor (it’s got a y-shaped divider) has a bunch of small pins on it. Double check that they’re all there and not mashed down. I don’t know exactly how they’re used, but I think they need to be there. Anyway, good luck. Try zooming...

Great pix, JG!

Sounds like you’ve done a lot, olbriar. I have a spare RCS that I’ve pretty much cannibalized for parts and that has worked well for me for a couiple of years. But if the battery goes I’ll probably consider a different bike as that’s the only part I don’t have a spare for and I’ve destroyed two...

Tough to replace the classic Subie Baja. Good luck with the Ford.

Hi olbriar, I got about 1000 miles on the upgraded controller before it started misbehaving and I replaced it back with the original. That has worked fine for over 2000 miles. Good luck. I hope that works for you.

Aventon has been shipping to Europe recently. I’d look at them @An Hatta if I were you. Good luck in the search for another eBike. Cheers from across the pond.

This is essentially the same type of system that Aventon has settled on in its newer bikes. True, but yet another thing to check… Batteries, batteries, batteries… Whatever happened to the self-winding watch? :D

Don’t forget about the handlebar shifter switch itself!

I think this is a really good point. Hopefully, in the future, all this stuff will be integrated by the manufacturer to run off the main battery. Yes, DIYers can always splice into existing wires/cables to draw power, but that is a hassle.

Had one of my best backpacking overnights in Kings Canyon, Jeremy. No idea about biking, but your trip sounds like a winner! Have a great vacation!

Do they even sell direct, 6? I’ve never looked. I’ve always bought from dealers/shops.

It really is a strange and kinda’ wrong name for this bike, for sure, but it looks like a good urban commuter. Since it’s light, I suppose having a non-removable battery is acceptable.

Wow! Right; missed that. The “Nomadix.” Yeah, that is clearly “off-mission” for the ebike crowd, but that’s quite a beast.

I’m retired; so, yes. :)

By the way, where is this high-powered eMoto? Is it not on the web site? I see two Scrambler models, one with full suspension and one hardtail.
