    MD 1000 Redux ...

    I had an original 2020 Leli MD 1000 with Sturmey Archer IGH (SA). I limped through the first 1200 miles with the SA IGH but it was doomed to fail and did. Leili sent me (for $300) a new back wheel and SRAM 9 speed that resolved the shifting issues with the SA IGH. By that time, I had really...

    Enviolo Automatiq cadence settings

    Having a gen 1 Serial 1 Rush Cty Speed, I bought it as my 2nd ebike for slow recreational riding with my wife and when we travel with our bikes. It was also intended as an easy hop on and ride bike with little or no training required for friends and family. For me the default cadence of 75 rpm's...

    Serial 1 Bash Mountain (single speed mountain ebike?)

    With the introduction of the "new" generation of Serial 1 bikes a new model has been added. The BASH/MTN is a single speed, belt drive pedalac and like it's brother the Mosh City, it has no front or rear suspension. It does come equipped with the nice little Suntour NCX suspension seat post and...

    Ebike Search Thread

    I just listed and sold 2 ebikes on Ebike Search. I'd like to make a couple of comments as I'm not on Facebook where most of the Bolton and I assume Ebike Search Users hangout. First there are very few listings thus far and they are very spread out geographically. I am assuming the search...

    Have Aveny, now adding 2 Vika + bikes to the quiver ...

    I purchased a Blix Aveny for my wife last year. She is very busy and not into bike riding but it has become a serious hobby for me so I took the chance. Turns out she loves riding the Aveny and has put over 1500 miles on it in the last 9 months. I ride 4-500 miles per week and have a very nice...

    Pre-pandemic R&M bikes

    I test rode a RIESE & MULLER DELITE GX with ROHLOF E14 (2019 pre pandemic floor model) yesterday and absolutely loved the very quiet Bosch Performance motor, the smooth shifting Rohloff E14 IGH (chain version) and the front and rear FOX suspension. My finger has been hovering over the place...

    Bafang G510 Ultra Max Mid Motor Overheating

    I have the large 90lb ebike (pictured below) with the Bafang G510 Ultra Max Mid Motor 1000W motor. I've put just under 2000 miles on it since Jan 2021. Now that the warmer weather has arrived I have noticed that when riding it hard and fast the motor case gets hot to the touch and the motor...

    Generic MD 1000 and HD 750 ebike model discussion

    This thread is an attempt separate discussions of the Bikonit brand from the Alibaba sourced generic versions of this ebike. While they are built at the same factory and appear to have the same components, the Alibaba sourced bikes offer a bit more customization such as ordering a MD 1000 with...

    Warthog HD/MD Thread

    Well, I would like to kick off the Bolton Ebikes Thread here on the EBR Forum. Like many, I have been watching the Kyle Chittock YouTube videos on all things ebikes and have learned a lot there. It has also given me the knowledge and tools (literally) to do simple maintenance on my families...

    This is a brand new Rattan XL fresh off the boat. I waited 6 months and after setup I discovered a common problem, bent chainring. I removed and tried to take the bend out but every ride it continually drops the chain. from the front ring. Just received and bike stand and upon examination the...

    New Rattan Models, the LM and LF Ebikes

    I thought it would be a good idea to start a Thread on these two new Rattan models. Some Rattan models like the X and XL are moving to a new brand name, Yamee. This is because Rattan Chief Engineer Erik Yam is going to be heading up the new company. Perhaps Erik or someone from Rattan could...

    Test ride on a Bikonit MD1000 (Mid-Drive) and HD 750 (Hub-Drive)

    Had the opportunity to test ride both of these at a somewhat local (50 mile drive) bike shop. It was the Bolton Ebikes shop in Grass Valley CA (check out his Youtube channel). They had "prototype" versions of the two mentioned in the Thread title. I went there planning on ordering the MD1000...
