I've only put 35 miles on my bike since installing a BBSDH mid-drive. At first, I didn't see any major issue but on my last ride (20 miles on a paved bike path) I started getting rapid chain skipping under load in the 1st and 2nd highest (smallest) gears. I've worked on re-indexing and setting...

I've never ridden a mid-drive eBike. So, please excuse this newbie question. When you are using the throttle on your mid-drive ebike do the pedal turn with the motor? Or does it freewheel the cranks at the same time it drives the chain? I have a rear drive eBike and I'm considering removing the...

I'm not posting this to get offers or to sell via the forums. So, that's not why I'm posting. With high prices and short supply of eBikes I really thought my Blix Vika + would sell in days at full asking price. New models are $500 more than my asking and there is a two or more month wait...

I saw Propel do a Video on Mirrors for eBikes and he talked about a tough to find German model, the Busch+Muller 701. With some online searching I found it plenty of places from $45 to $90 but one place in the Netherlands (I'm in Texas) had it for $23 plus $10 shipping. So, I got it. Here's...

I made a bonehead move and shorted the positive pin and the negative spade on the charger input jack on my eBike's battery. If you must know... I was using a multi-meter to test voltage and was too dumb to test it at the main power connections and tested it at the charger input jack. DON'T DO...

My DIY eBike has a bulky 13ah 48v Shark style battery on the downtube. Does anyone make one of those long thin batteries like the ones built in on Bosch and other brands with an accompanying cradle? Not that I want it built in - still just mounted on top of the downtube.

SOLD the ebike, Thanks

Each winter we take our motorhome to Tucson, AZ and I just love the bike trails there - 66 miles around the city. So, this year after returning from AZ I decided to look for similar bike path's in San Antonio which is near to where we live. I had heard that there was a bike trail in the Missions...

In Dec 2020, I converted an acoustic hybrid Specialized Crosstrail with a Rear Hub Kit from Dillenger. The project was fun and easy and I have over 450 miles on the build bike now. I love it. BUT! I want to remove the Hub drive and get a BFang BBS02 Mid-Drive motor. It would be ideal if I could...

I have an inexpensive ($150) tray hitch. It's rated for 35 lbs per bike. We have two bikes, one 45 lbs and one 30 lbs. I have towed our bikes about 2500 miles on the back of this hitch. So, today I cleaned it, lubed it, and checked it over well. There are no problems or cracks or any indications...

My Dec 2020 build of a Dillenger Off-Road rear hub drive kit went well. The only hiccup was that my bike couldn't run in 9th (highest, smallest) gear without constant skipping under pedal load. All 8 other gears were zero problem. So, I've ridden mostly in the 8th gear. The Dillenger rear drive...

I installed the current "Off-Road" (28mph) rear hub drive kit in December 2020. Everything installed easily and everything with the kit works well. The cost at the time for the kit was $729. It has the 13ah 52/48v battery, and 52v charger. The kit comes with add-on brake controllers for using...

I've started a build to convert my Specialized Crosstrail Sport Disc into an eBike with a Dillenger Premium Off-Road Bike Kit. I have owned a Bilx Vika+ folding eBike for the past year and enjoyed the powered rear hub. But when I decided to try this build I looked at both front hub kits and...
