So my typical ride goes through several neighborhoods with light traffic but relatively new smooth pavement. I was at the local gas station the other day and a guy in there recognized me as the guy on the bike that rides through his neighborhood and said. "It'd be a shame if something poked a...

I've been using Maxima chain lube (available from Amazon) which is a standard type wet lube followed by Maxima chain wax.. The lube penetrates deeply into rollers, pins and plates then the chain wax seals this lube in so there's no fling off or mess.. 1,500 mi. on a bafang ultra motor and 9...

Well, computers, phones etc. have been exempted for 90 days but not e-bikes. Not sure the market will bear doubling the price of our bikes. Opinions?

I have a RIZE RX ebike that came with Kenda knobbies. I got the bike middle of last summer and rode with the knobbies the rest of the season. They were loud tires and it always sounded like an angry swarm of bees was around me. I just had my local shop install Schwalbe super motor X tires and...

I realize there's a thousand variables but when I switch to road tires from knobbies, how much more range can I expect, if any. I can go 40mi. now on a full charge. Going from cheap Kenda knobbies to Schwalbe MotoX tires is the plan. I'm hoping for a mile or two more range since the tires should...

My 5 year old Haibike w/ Yamaha 60 NM of torque bike performs poorly in a strong wind, either that or I'm really weak. Enter my new Rize RX bike with bafang ultra motor and now headwinds don't exist as presented to the bike. It's a wonderful thing.

I got my RIze RX about six weeks ago and have now put over 750mi. on it. No failures to date but a few observations. The bike will run over 30mph with the throttle but I don't like using it do to increased drive train wear and increased battery drain. The 15 AH 52 Volt battery is good for a...

I have a Rize RX that came with 27.5 x2.35 tires and the bike has fenders.. The tires are Kenda knobbies and howl on pavement. I'm looking for a tire that has more of a street tread in the same size that will clear the fenders. I found one set on amazon that's 27.5 x 2.40 but I worry those might...

I've had my Rize RX for two weeks now. I also own a Haibike trekking with Yamaha motor. Of course I'm absolutely addicted to the bafang ultra motor on the Rize bike but the Haibike is a higher quality bike. The shimano hydraulic brakes on the Haibike are MUCH better than the tektro's on the...

I was told I need a 16 point socket for the lock ring on the front sprocket but I see there are different sizes. I have the Rize RX. Which size do I need? I know I need a chain whip to remove the rear cassette but there's a lock ring on that too and there are different sizes. Can someone tell m...

After 4 years of riding a Haibike with Yamaha PW 250 watt motor I have seen the light. With my new RIze RX I can go up hills at 16mph that I used to only be able to go up at 8 mph working fairly hard. Now I don't break a sweat. I wish I had bought this bike sooner. I've noticed most ebike with...

I've been riding my Haibike sduro trekking ebike for 4 years and have loved all of it EXCEPT for the lack of power. Last year I had my eye on the FLX blade 2.0 with the killer bafang ultra motor but the cost was over $7,000.. Suddenly, ebike prices have dropped significantly and that same bike...

I have almost 1,900 mi. on my 10 speed chain. (Haibike Sduro trekking 6.0).. I am very particular about chain maintenance and my chain wear tool still shows the chain to be o.k. I'm finding it hard to believe that the chain has lasted this long (original chain) and wondering if I should trust...

I can't find this information anywhere. I tried counting the links but can't do it w/ the chain on the bike.. Specs show it takes the KMC X10e chain but nowhere does it say how many links... There are options for 122 links and 136 links.. I'm guessing it would be the longer of the two due to the...

Thankfully my yamaha 500WH battery is still good going into it's second year.. I was hoping the prices for replacement batteries would be coming down but they are not.. A replacement battery for my bike is $750-$850... Is anyone aware of where these batteries are available for less money?.. I...

Haven't ridden in a few weeks now, northern Michigan. Icy roads, snow, slush, cold etc. etc.. yeah yeah I know, get studded tires good gloves and boots LOL. I love ebiking but not THAT much. I put on double the miles I would have ridden on my acoustic bike this summer, my first summer with an...

My wfe has a Gazelle Easy flow that has magura hydraulic rim brakes. The front brake does almost nothing to slow the bike down. The brake lever has been adjusted and engages properly and does not come in contact with the hand grip when applying the brake. When I apply the brake while looking at...

I ride 99% paved bike paths or roads and go very easy on the motor/drive train. bike is Haibike trekking 6.0 with Yamaha drive and 10 speed cassette in the back, two chain rings up front. I clean and lube the chain every 100mi. on average. I have 750mi. on the bike and so far my chain stretch...

Here is my wife with my 83 year old buddy Ken when he is buying his first ebike.. Ken hasn't ridden a bike in 70 years and is absolutely loving his new bike. He did crash a few weeks ago but it didn't slow him down at all and he's become quite proficient at riding

Just clicked over 500mi. on this ebike and so far it has been flawless. I can't see any measurable chain stretch with my gauge, spokes are all good, gear shifting is quiet and quick, I do reduce pedal effort before shifting all the time which eliminates any grinding/clunking. The michelin...
