Recently I also got a more expensive mid drive and I put the trailer hitch on it but haven't tried to pull the trailer. I just wanted to confirm if there's any issues pulling weight with a...

    Can the Ripcurrent motor be upgraded?

    Can the 750w bafang rear hub system be upgraded to a higher powered system? Like one of those higher powered rear hub Mac motors? Is 1500w too much for this bike? Maybe 1000w then?

    How many volts should I set my charger to charge to 70%?

    I have a 52v 17.5ah lithium battery for my ebike and I have a cycle satiator and I have an extra battery that I want to put away for storage so I read charging to 70% is best. These are my current settings for charging to 85%. What do I need to change to charge it to 70%? Thanks!

    14.5ah vs 17.5ah?

    I bought the ultra eagle and got the stock 14.5ah battery and now I'm wondering if I should have gone with the 17.5ah.

    😂😂😂 The crazy part is I had no idea I have gone that fast! I just noticed it last night and saw that one thread about it being difficult to achieve top speed! This is the ultra eagle.

To me this is where I should need the most assistance...

I will probably leave it as is for now but later on or if it starts wearing out I may consider it for next time. I can...
