Hi, my ebike can be ridden off by anyone whenever the battery is inserted. You just turn on the LCD and away you go. The battery itself is a reention dorado battery, and that's where I insert my key. I for some reason expected this to operate more like a traditional vehicle, where if the key...

Hello, How can I tell from the specs if an ebike will be easy to pedal when used as an acoustic bike? I gather: only consider mid drive motors? Are different motor manufacturers known for having less gear resistance when turned off? I'm particularly interested in a commuter mountain bike...

Wondering how the market will shake out in the medium term future. I notice that carmakers are relatively few. A bunch of big names that everyone knows. Start up costs are too high and complicated but what about ebike makers? There are so many companies out there who are basically ordering 100...

Hi, If you have nothing better to do with your time, I have a request. If you look through my post history, you will see that I ended up not getting an ebike, but the lady boss has somehow granted me the ability to get a true ebike just for me. I can't believe my good fortune. I'm really...

Hi there, are there standard generic DownTube hidden battery replacements available or is it highly specific to the model and maker? I like the stealth factor a lot but wonder if it will be make me at the mercy of one specific vendor who may or may not Jack up the price or be out of business?

Hi, I'm interested in finding an ebike with a long range. I'm not sure how to prioritize what to look for. Besides battery capacity and how powerful the motor is, I am not sure how I put all of these variables together. I don't really believe what the manufacturers say, per se. I am fine...

Hello, another total newbie question here. I think many bikes get you to 25 km/h over here. But there are also 7 speeds to choose from when pedaling. So if I'm using a throttle to 25 km/h and I also pedal at the same time, about how fast can I go? 30 km/h or 35 km/h? I'm talking about just an...

Hi, I hear conflicting info about whether or not it is necessary to pay a large premium for samsung, panasonic, sanyo, or LG battery cells inside an e-bike battery. I'm looking for a simple list of rock solid batteries in the 48V 10A and up range that have been tried by members of the forum. My...

Hi, wife isn't super enthusiastic about my chances of converting a regular bike to an e-bike. My best bet to keep everyone happy is to buy a pre-made e-bike and then try to do a small mod. The only one I want is to upgrade the battery. For example, many of the bikes I am perusing have a 36 V...

Hi, I don't live in America anymore, but I like e-bikes. This bike is one of the top sellers I believe at Taobao and in Asia recently I *think*. They claim it's designed in America or something but I highly doubt this. g-force g14 Can you guys take a look at it and tell me if it's worth...

Hi， When it comes to real world applications to ebike batteries, when I look at a 48 V 12 A battery vs a 36 V 20A battery for example, (I know the latter may not exist) how would they perform differently given the same motor? I read online that Amps corresponds to capacity, yet someone else...

Hi, basically how skilled do you have to be. I can read directions and that's about it. I know solder means to melt two wires together? That's what we're dealing with here.

Hi, I am living in Chinese area but I can’t really read well enough to do ebike research. But what I can get are Chinese bikes or Asian bikes for local prices. 1. Could you please list some go-to Chinese brands and model names that are tried and proven over time? 2. I am looking for brand name...
