I bought a 48 volt, 11 Ah, 30 amp Hailong battery along with a Bafang motor. The battery works great, but I wanted to get one with a little more juice, maybe a 15 or 20 amp battery. The 11 Ah battery is perfect and I thought I could carry that as a spare on longer rides if it might be needed...

Hello. I have a Bafang motor on my ebike. Numbers on the housing are: CR R209 750, C57 1-14-512, 2208150797. I want to know what the highest amp hour 48 volt 30 amp battery is that I can use with this motor. I would also like to know what model Bafang Motor this is. The present battery is...

I want to burn off some Holiday calories and I have a question. As an older rider, I worry about riding on bike trails that go through forests as wet leaves are pretty slippery. I used to do this all the time when I was in my twenties and thirties, and took several nasty spills, but as I...

Hello. I purchased a Turbo Tero 5.0 with a loose display and am finally (after almost 2 months) getting a replacement sent to me this week. I went looking around for the users manual to explain how to program the new display and I can't find a manual. A users manual is available online. I...

I got a Specialized Turbo Tero 5.0 back in early October and upon my arrival home, the display module was loose. I discovered that it was loose because one of the flanges that holds the unit in place had broken off inside the unit in which the display is seated. The bike shop where I bought it...

Thinking about a Turbo Tero 5.0. Hard to find, and expensive. But they look great and they have good components, range and 90 Newton Meters. I'd be real interested to hear from anybody who has ridden any of the Teros. 3.0, 4.0 or 5.0. Thanks.

Rode some hills yesterday and I'm now wondering what the gradient was. Can anybody recommend a good cell phone inclinometer? (Or a good non cell phone inclinometer?) As always, thanks for your help.

I am looking for an ebike with an upright riding position that will do well on paved roads, gravel, single track, and dirt. An "all around" bike. There are, generally speaking, no bikes in shops to try out, so I was wondering what your opinion was on the bikes I've listed above. Which would be...

A 20mph Class 1 ebike is plenty of speed for me, plus you can ride it in places where many Class 2 or Class 3 bikes wouldn't be permitted. I personally don't need that extra 8 mph, but I would like as much torque as I could get for hills. I've noticed, however, that it's had to find a Class 1...

Hello. I am looking for a Class 1 Cannondale Tesoro or Kona Dew E. I would take a large in the Tesoro or extra large in the Dew E. Thanks for your help.

In the course of looking for a new ebike with an upright riding position, I discovered that most of the bike models on my short list are offered only as Class 3 machines. I also discovered that Class 3 ebikes are not permitted in my home state (PA). Furthermore, I discovered (and I think this...

I was contemplating buying a Cannondale Tesoro because I wanted an ebike with an upright position. I was attracted to the Tesoro because it is billed as a bike that performs well on asphalt as well as dirt, gravel, etc. I discovered, however, that all Tesoros are Class 3 bikes now and as such...

I have seen "Multi Mode/ Switchable Class Mode" Ebikes mentioned in discussions of the legality of different classes of ebikes, but I never saw any manufacturers and models mentioned. Could anybody tell me the names of the Makes/Models of such "switchable class" ebikes? Thanks.

I am contemplating getting an ebike with an "upright rider orientation." I really like the Cannondale Tesoro, the Specialized Turbo Vado SL, and the Kona DewE DL. I would like to be able to ride this bike on bike trails, most of which seem to have a 20 mph limit for ebikes. For the record, I...

I'm thinking about getting an ebike and wondering about gear inches. On bikes with multiple gears, I tend to use far fewer combinations than I have available. I also like to have one "easy" combo available for hills, particularly as I'm getting older. I was wondering about the differences...

The Cannondale website seems to be in the process of updating. It looks like the Tesoro Neo X 2, not previously available in the USA, will now be available. Maybe? The Cannondale rep at their main site does not have specifics on it yet, so perhaps it is a mistake. Looks like a great bike...

Cannondale Synapse Neos: How do they achieve that huge Range Per Battery Charge?" I want to get a battery assisted gravel bike and have narrowed my choice down to a Cannondale Synapse Neo 1, a Cannondale Synapse Neo SE, or a Kona Libre EL. There have been no reviews of the Kona Libre (E7000...

Great looking battery assist gravel bike. Anybody ride one yet? If so, what are your impressions?

Hello. I was told that with some ebikes, notably Specialized Turbos, you can effectively "change" the bike from a Class 1 machine to a Class 3 machine or vice versa merely by pressing a button on the bike. Another person told me that this change can be done but it has to be done by a...

Been asking lots of questions and trying to decide on a Cannondale Neo (Tesoro or Synapse SE). Cannondale told me today that info on 2021 models will probably not be released in the USA until mid to late October. A new iteration of the Synapse Neo showed up in a British shop. Aside from a...
