The band that is on new tubes has a use. Put a small baggie over an open can of beer and put the rubber band from a tube over it, double over the band and an open beer will last for weeks in the fridge. Just sayin'

Would love to have one but i have one question, can i sit back, hit the throttle and let the motor do the work while my feet are on the peddles or do they only assist when peddling. does the mid drive have a anti reverse bearing like a fishing reel or pawls like the rear gears on a 21 speed...

They are installed directional. If you notice the nubs they usually have a pointed end towards the direction of travel. If you need a little extra grip for off road install them backwards, the back of the nubs is usually square or cupped, better grip. If you don't leave the pavement install them...

I didn't want to state how i fixed my bikes front missing bearings until i tested it, if it didn't work i would feel responsible for a someone coping it and having an accident. Ok here it is, the swivel chair i'm sitting on suffered a failure 8 months ago, a piece of plastic with 2 bearings fell...

Front wheel maintenance. Guess they just got up and walked away, this can cause an axle to bend but you will not believe how i fixed it for $0. I will post on Tuesday or Wednesday how i did it. Why wait? don't need anymore bearings disappearing.

People ask how can i increase my range? how can i increase my power? without sacrificing weight. You cannot, it took this weight to trust ratio to get Neil to the moon. https://www.grc.nasa.gov/www/k-12/airplane/thrsteq.html You may buy an alum e-bike to save weight but it has 1/3 the tensile...

Now this is what i'm thinking, i have a cutoff power brake lever, i actually don't need it It's all good without it. I turned to the left sharply and the motor cut out quickly about 3 times, this puts the right handle brake cut off high. Any moisture can run down and cross the connection...

For those with hydraulic brake systems this is my best advice, silicone dot 4 car brake fluid. I swapped it in because my Dodge Dakota brakes had to be rebuilt or replaced every 4 years because of off road use. After the change no replacement even after i sold it 6 years later. Silicone keeps...

I have google, top and gov maps that will work in Magellan GPS Huge amount of info, at least 32 gigs. All of Nova Scotia, Canada Made them myself, about a months work. Know it's a long shot but if anyone wants them no prob.

I have a $100 wal-mart bike with a 450 watt Chinese frame mounted motor on it, i just went through a blizzard with it, seriously i could not see 5 feet in front of me at times, by the way it was at night, now flooding, still going. In the summer i tried to beat it off-road until i found a weak...

The roads in Canada are not good now, freeze, thaw, repeat. As a biker i have to avoid these "potholes" or wait until summer to drive. Before i was a biker in my truck i always looked at them, slowed down and gave a wide birth, they may have to avoid holes. Now it's a game, how close can i come...

I changed the rear hub gear from a 16 tooth to a 22 tooth, in other words increased torque over %26 but reduced speed by the same %. i have not noticed speed reduction but i have noticed a huge increase in power. This is the strange thing, with the new gear when i floor the throttle it pushes me...

I bought a 1.75 big lugged tire from amazon, installed it and was not impressed. Skinny and small to say the least. I'm thinking it still might be good for snow and slush on the E-bike. UNREAL! This thing on the rear cuts trough snow while my front 1.95 plows it. getting one for the front. If...

Right now i have a frame mounted 450 watt motor on the left side but i ride on road, off road and deer trails. I don't have enough torque for off road. I have bought a larger gear (16 tooth to 28 tooth) for off road for the rear hub, but that's going to drop speed by almost %50. First question...

I put together the cheapest setup possible, $100 Walmart bike and $200 Chinese chain kit. I figured 4 months at best out of it, i tend to take a lot of off-road trails. 450 watt, 24 volt and i drive it almost daily even in the Canadian winter now. Snow, rain it still goes. The best part is i...
