This morning, one of those Greg LeMond wanna be guys all decked out in spandex and seated on a carbon fiber racing type bike was behind me at a stop light. I was on my $600 250W eBike. I smoked him on the acceleration, but his higher gearing meant that he passed me pretty quickly after 20MPH was...

My bike's getting to the point where I will soon need to replace the driveline. My low end eBike has stamped steel sprockets on the crankset (all in one w/ non removable sprockets), and I see that the higher quality cranksets have sprockets that are machined. Is there any benefit to the machined...

This may not make any sense to anyone here, but that's OK, it doesn't make much sense to me either. I've monitored this repeatedly, and if I go easy on the throttle and pedal a lot at slow speeds, I have less batter power left than if I go fast and use the throttle a lot. Probably a dozen times...

Ever since moving to Tucson I have been complaining about the horrible condition of the roads. They have potholes that have multiple patches over the patches. Often the whole road is nothing but patches from one side to the other. It makes a for a lousy biking experience, not to mention being...

I purchased 1 oz of Vit C on eBait w/ the intent of taking 500 mg twice a day. The problem is, since I moved I can't find my kitchen measuring spoons. I read somewhere that 500 mg was roughly 1/8th of a teaspoon, but having no teaspoon, this is no help. Is there a way to sort of eyeball what 500...

I have a low end eBike that I really like, but it has one of those 5 red LED readouts for the battery's state of affairs. It's better than nothing, but just barely. I don't need a fancy Cycle Analyst because I'm not interested in real time constant power usage, but WOULD like to know the...

Sometimes I get these alerts from a website called Instructables. It seems someone was highly focused on fetching his Starbucks coffee, so he built a dedicated eBike just for that. It's an interesting story w/ pics. He obviously had never done anything like this before, and while some of it made...

I have a $600 Ancheer eBike w/ a 36V 8ah battery. I like it a lot, but would like more range. Realistically it will do 10 to 12 miles if I watch the gauge, something I dislike doing. To get more miles per charge, I'm gong to buy another battery like the one I have for $180, mount it on the bike...

I have a 2 year old Ancheer eBike that tops out at 15mph (on a good day). The one I owned before, which was exactly the same model, would do 19-20. I once saw something on the web that showed how you could run a jumper to a couple of wires on the controller connector to get more top speed, but...

Just replaced the geared hub motor on my bike w/ a new one (low end Ancheer e-bike, 36V, 250W), and it is only getting me to 14mph w/o pedaling. My old motor would go 17-18MPH w/ no assist. In my old slot car racing days, I remember that after those electric motors had some miles on them they...

Hi. I have an Ancheer E Bike (photo attached) and had an "interesting" problem with it yesterday. For some time I have been hearing what sounded like loose spokes on the rear, but nothing was loose. Yesterday I took off from a stand still and heard a grinding sound, followed by a large...
