    Cloud 9 elastomer cruiser seat squeak

    Hi all, I recently put on a Cloud 9 cruiser saddle with elastomer suspension. The problem that I have is an annoying squeak when I pedal, particularly on the right downward stroke. I haven’t seen any posts with a fix for this so I was just wondering if anyone has one.Like some kind of lube or...

    Volt meter install

    Hi all...after a long lay off of ebiking due to illness, I'm finally back in the saddle and catching up on projects. This one was a volt meter so I can check my discharge rate as I ride. It's on a 2018 Magnum Ui6. I bought the meter,cable and right angle adapter from Amazon. I had to splice one...

    Battery cutout voltage

    Hi all....my Ui6 is still a wonderful bike. 1635 miles and doing well. The problem I had was self induced. Being winter I never really know when I am going to have to "lay up" the bike for a while due to weather, snow and ice. That being said I keep the voltage around storage voltage approx 75%...

The end answer was if you lose both keys go to your ebike...

    Safety with E Bikes

    Finish line 1 step?

    Does anyone have experience with this lube/cleaner? I bought some today at the place I bought my Magnum but they were too busy to pester them with questions. I plan to clean the chain real well before I try this new stuff. Thanks..

    Magnum battery connector

    Does any one with knowledge of 48v Magnum batteries know what type of connector is used at the charge port? I would like to get one to make a "pig tail" to do quick voltage checks w/o removing the battery. I just don't know the type and name for a female connector. ?Thanks

    Spoke Wrench Mod

    Magnums and rain?

    Hi all, As a new e biker and Magnum Ui6 owner I was wondering how concerned should I be if I get caught in a moderate rain? I've been blessed with 200 sunny miles so far and I know wet is comming some day. I know a good wipe down will be in order but are there any other issues of concern? Thanks?

    Bearing maintenance

    This is mainly to the ebikers that have ridden 1000+ miles. I am a e bike newbie and I was wondering when you do major bearing maintenance(BB, wheels ,and head set). Are e bikes harder on the hardware? These e bike are the best thing ever. I have a Magnum Ui6. Thanks:)

    Shock tweaking

    I have Suntour shocks on my Magnum Ui6 that I got last week. I am kind of large and the bike seemed to dive when I braked. The fix was easy .I poped the plastic caps off the shocks and the adjust caps were right there.They have little slots on top with reference arrows for which you need + or -...

    Isn't it ironic

    Being a strong supporter of bike trails for many years by donating, volunteering and joining. I find it so ironic that now I am not able to use the trails I helped support. I've read the posts that advise to ride responsibly and there won't likely be a problem. It just irks me that as a person...

    New ebiker and Magnum owner

    Just joined up the other day. Got my Ui6 last week and am totally impressed. Much like Fig in his post the Ui6 has rescued me from a potentially priceless time of life. The bike is quite a machine. As a retired mechanic/industrial maintenance tech I appreciate quality engineering and...
