I installed a Rohloff Speedhub 14 IGH on my Luna Z1 mid drive Bafang Ultra Mag back in April 2023. Here is my installation thread: https://forums.electricbikereview.com/threads/installed-a-rohloff-speedhub-14-igh-on-my-mid-drive-luna-z1-ultra-mag.52698/ Ridden it 4,000 miles, 70% off-road...

I will be in Rome from Oct 31 to Nov 8. Then Amalfi Coast (Furore) Nov 8-16. I am looking to rent an ebike while in Rome just for fun and touring the city. Same in Furore on the Amalfi Coast. Any tips, advice, what to see, what to avoid? From experienced travellers. I rented an eMTB in Lake...

My riding partner has ridden a Sondors Rockstar with a Bafang Ultra (CANBUS) for the last three years. We've been riding together about 4 times per week. I've always teased him about the excessive motor noise that his Ultra Motor makes. We both ride with SENA Bluetooth communicator helmets and I...

I added a second battery 13 months ago using this battery balancer from Amazon. I'm using two 48V 17.5Ah batterys for a total of 35Ah's. It has worked flawlessly.

It's getting dicey!

It was time to get new tires for my eMTB. Previoulsy I was using Stan's No Tubes for my tubeless sealant, which worked really well. This time I figure I might as well try something different, and the Slime Black Label for tubless tires was about 60% less expensive than Stan's. I read a few...

Was riding last evening, not pushing my bike hard when all of the sudden I felt a snap/crack coming from the rear transmission/hub (Rohloff Speedhub 14 build thread) and my pedals began to spin freely without engaging the Rohloff hub. The chain was still on the hub axle, but spinning freely as I...

I went for a bike ride this evening around 6PM. It was a beautiful evening, the sun setting, low in the sky, sunlight streaming through the beautiful trees, ligting up the green grassy banks and hills along my route. The air was clean and moist, it was a perfect evening. After 30 minutes, I was...

A Deputy Sherrif actually. I was cruising my usual route, an eight mile round-trip run of paved tails, running parallel to a 2X2, 4 lane parkway with a wide grassy median strip. The trails and surrounding areas are beautifully manicured, lined with landscaped trees, rock walls, shrubs, flowers...

This makes ebike number 5. My 91 year old father is starting to lose his zest for life. He was a big time horse rider up until age of 75. Fox hunting, galloping and jumping fences over farm country outside of Wash DC. Lately, he is very bored, losing his leg strength, no desire to go to the gym...

https://www.nytimes.com/2024/03/05/nyregion/nyc-cyclist-deaths-ebike.html Most of the 30 cyclists who died in 2023 were riding electric bikes... Nearly a third of the e-bike riders who died crashed or fell without any apparent interference from a vehicle or pedestrian... Most of the cyclists...

For those that would like one, designed for the Ultra. FasterBikes

Do not give an ebike company money if the bike is not already in stock. If you send money for a "Pre-Order" or some such promotion, you are participating in their financing scheme and you are financing their cash flow. It means their cash flow is weak, and they lack a sufficent line of credit...

I'm looking forward to seeing the results

Cleaning my chain bathed in solvent with her ultrasonic jewelry cleaner. If she knew, she'd kill me, then demand I buy her a new unit. Gonna wax the chain after it's cleaned. The ultrasonic solvent bath does a great job btw.

My Bafang DCP18 display died on me last week, well out of warranty. Luna Cycles offered sell me a replacement at a 50% discount. I was very pleased. They have always done right by me.

A while back I decided I wanted to carry a 2nd OEM battery to swap when my primary ran low. A new battery costs about $415. I formed a battery cradle to fit at the bottom of the downtube made from solid rubber. Then I figured that since I had a perfectly good Hailong battery lying around that...

Checked my odometer this evening on my Bafang DCP-18 display on my Luna Z1. I have not ridden even close to four million miles on this bike in a year. I reached out to Luna just now to see if they have a solution. I've read of a few people having this same problem reading 4M miles, but have not...

After a year of researching, speaking to owners and dealers of the Rohloff Speedhub, I've decided to ditch my 12-speed cog/derailleur system and install the Rohloff Speedhub 14 IGH on on my carbon fiber Luna Z1 Ultra Mag. The kit arrived by UPS today. I'm very excited to build the wheel, install...

Sorry for any redundancy. Posting this to the Frey Forum after I posted the unboxing to the General Discussion Forum. Received a tracking number from "Kathy" at Frey Bike 3-4 business days after submitting my order. Tracking number gave an estimate of 10 days for delivery. Bike shipped out of...
