Hi folks, I have a Rambo hunting e-bike I converted to use on the road two years ago by changing the gearing. I also upgraded it from the original BBS02 750 watt motor to a BBSHD 1000 watt motor with the Luna tune. The original motor was barely used and has been sitting on my workbench since I...

Hi folks, I have a BBS02 based fat tire hunting bike that was originally geared “low and slow” for off-road riding and hauling game out of the woods. I made it more roadworthy by swapping out the 34t front sprocket first with a 46t then with a 52t sprocket. That worked to decrease the pedal...

I’m shocked at the number of folks who don’t get this. Ohm my.

Hi folks, I recently located a used complete BBSHD motor kit for half the cost of the same “bare bones” BBSHD motor itself from Luna. I’m looking to upgrade my BBS02 to BBSHD. The seller says his BBSHD has 2100 miles on it. He also says the controller is on the fritz, sometimes it works...

Hi folks, I’m planning to drive out to the C&O tow path bike trail in Maryland. Online, Maryland states this bike path is limited to class 1 e bikes with no throttle. My e bike is a class 3 with throttle, which I need to get moving due to chronic weakness in my left leg from strokes several...

Hi folks, I recently picked up a 2009 Ford Crown Vic and money is tight, so I searched Facebook Marketplace for a hitch for my “e bike carrier.” I did find a 2” class III Hidden Hitch for $50 and had it installed and wired at UHaul (another $200.) I had a motorcycle carrier from carrying my...

Hi folks, I recently picked up a UCC shrink wrapped 48v 20ah battery (because price was, unfortunately, an issue.) Two questions - 1) is it “safe” to charge shrink wrapped UCC batteries indoors, and 2) does it increase the chances of a fire while charging if I charge it while it’s in its...

Hi folks, Due to serious health troubles, I parked my Rambo e bike with a BBS02 system in the garage at the beginning of September. I finally pulled it out this week, dusted it off, charged the battery overnight and tried to go for a ride the next day. The first thing I noticed when I charged...

Has anyone seen the “B.C. Bikes” ads on Facebook for their new “hydraulic drive” “infinite gear selection” e bikes? Is this a new drive concept that’s actually coming to market? If so, what’s the consensus of our resident chain / belt / derailleur/ IGH experts on its feasibility...

Question: Did anyone ever mount a second battery on the rear rack of a Bafang mid drive, with a toggle switch to change over from a dead primary battery to the fully charged back up battery? Obviously each battery would have to be charged separately. How hard would it be to add one this way...

One of my dreams for years has been to complete the Camino de Santiago pilgrimage in Spain. Due to limitations from prior strokes, I doubt I’ll ever be able to complete this pilgrimage by foot. However, one can “officially” complete the pilgrimage by bicycle by completing at least 200km of the...

Hi folks, I’m just curious what the average age of EBR members is, and if anyone knows, the average age of e bike adopters in general? I just got my first e bike at 54, following some severe health problems (multiple strokes with hemiparesis that eventually resolved.) When I was younger I...

I have a 2018 Rambo r750g3 (hunting e bike) with a BBS02. The bike came with top speed set at 18 and PAS set as 1-5. I’ve used the Bafang passcode (0512) to enter the advanced parameters settings, and changed max speed to 30 and PAS to 1-9 several times now. However, each time it reverts to...

I have to get daily exercise because of my health status, but I’m not a morning person since my health trouble and chronic fatigue, so this summer’s heat and humidity is just too much for my regular daily walk. Four years ago I had 4 strokes and left sided hemiparesis, but they put two stents in...

I recently found a steeply discounted leftover 2018 Rambo R750CG3 at at local archery shop. Rambo e bikes are geared down for riding off road on trails, hills and even mountains while hunting. As such they are geared LOW and slow, and seemingly not very appropriate for road. This model has a...

A local archery shop has a steeply discounted left over 2018 Rambo R750cG3. I took it for a good test drive this weekend, really enjoyed it and put money down on it. However my riding will be 50/50 road and rails to trails, and very little off road riding. I really like the idea of the internal...

Hi Court, I’m sold on mid drives, and will be buying one this spring. I had a front drive hub motor kit on an elliptical e-trike I built and was not satisfied with a hub motor. Are they still a decent alternative compared to a mid drive? (I guess if a rider faced no threat of serious hill...
