    Moscow+ crank and bottom bracket

    My son was in an accident on his Moscow+ (he's fine). Looks like some damage to the crank, it's got a bend in it and chain won't stay on. I'm familiar with lots of bike repairs but have never replaced a crank and/or bottom bracket. What do I order? Front derailleur seems fine. I also don't...

    NCM Milano Freewheel or Cassette

    I'm assuming it's a 7-speed threaded freewheel not a cassette but can anyone confirm?

    New NCM C7 Electric City Bike. Thoughts?

    Just spotted the new NCM City Bike on the Leon Cycle web site. Was super excited to see a city oriented narrow tire ebike but was quickly deflated by a couple things. 1) 36v??? Really? I was expecting 48v 2) 350w motor 3) The back rack is only good for side panniers, you can't throw anything...

    Bike multi-tool recommendations

    Can anyone recommend a decent bike multitool for carrying on the bike. I'd like to pay under $50 but I'd pay up to $100 for a tool with a good set of items. I wish Victorinox or Leatherman made bike tools; I know they both had ridiculous tools on the market at one point, but I mean a bike tool...

    Just received a new Dorado 25ah battery

    It has been mentioned in a few threads here but Reention is producing a new case for their Dorado series of batteries that allow 21700 cells to be used instead of 18650. This increases the max capacity of that battery to 25ah using Samsung 50E cells (@48v). The battery is available in 36v, 48v...

    Review of seat post tire pump from Suchi (via Aliexpress)

    I wanted to do a quick review of a tire pump I purchased from this link at Aliexpress. https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005001346973052.html I had a Dahon Espresso that originally came with a seat post that doubled as an air pump. For my new NCM Moscow+ I wanted to have a similar seat post. I...

    Charging. Do you charge on the bike or take the battery off to charge it?

    We take our batteries off to charge them as the bikes are stored in a cold area and we want the batteries warm in sub-zero weather. I'd be interested to learn if most people charge up with the battery on the bike or off the bike?

    Stupid question. Throttle only

    So I've heard/read some cyclists particularly when touring say they are touring "throttle only". Does that usually mean they are not pedaling and just using the throttle to get around or does that mean they are pedaling but using the throttle on climbs instead of setting a PAS level?

    Freewheel for Moscow+

    Can anyone point me to some products on Amazon (or aliexpress, ebay, etc) to replace the freewheel on a Moscow+? I see lots of products when I search for "Freewheel 8-speed,11-32T" but when I look at the pictures/description they seem to be cassettes not freewheels. My son just wants to replace...

    Amego Elevate

    Just bought an Amego Elevate second hand with 4400km on it for my son. Just want to say it rides every bit as good as my brand new Moscow+ from NCM. Both bikes are based on the same design and components. I am very pleased to see it working so well after 4400km.

    Oh oh....it begins

    I've bought an NCM Moscow+ a month or so ago and love it. Now I've gone out and bought a 2nd ebike already! On Kijiji (Canada's buy/sell site) I spotted an Amego Elevate 27.5" for cheap that was advertised as running great and having a good battery. I went and checked it out and it had 4000km on...

    Leon Cycle Canada 16ah Battery for Moscow Plus

    I've been looking at an extra battery, 1st plan was a used 36v battery but I passed on it. I've looked at eBay and Aliexpress for batteries but distrust the suppliers. Places like ebikes.ca are $995 for a 48v 16.5ah and epiccycles.ca want $750 for a 48v 13ah. GreenBikeKit.com has a 48v 16ah for...

    C7 Display Julet connector

    The C7 has a Julet connector that looks to be 8pin. Two questions: 1) Anyone know where to buy an extension cable? I see lots for Bafang (9-pin) but none for the 8 pin Das-Kit connector. 2) Anyone know the pinout? I can find 8 pin female julet connectors on Aliexpress but I can't find male...

    eBay and Aliexpress LiPo battery packs. Are they worth anything?

    I see shrink wrap bare 18650 battery packs on eBay and Aliexpress with absurd claims about mah and good prices. What can I really expect from these packs? I see on eBay for $100cdn I can get a (as advertised) battery pack that is 48V 30Ah 13S3P. Now that claim is laughable, it would mean each...

    Running a Moscow+ 48v bike on a 36v battery

    Anyone try this? My idea is that the C7 display can toggle between 36v and 48v. I'd like to add a range extending battery that is a 36v battery. I ordered the correct connector for the bike (from greenbikekit.com) and my thinking is once the 48v battery is depleted I'd connect the 36v...

    Seat recomendations

    I have a Moscow Plus and find the seat a little un-comfy. My previous bike has a visually similar looking seat but just a bit wider in back and has been fine even on 80km+ rides. I mainly road bike (paved and gravel) and am only experimenting with actual mountain bike trail riding, 90% of my...

    NCM Throttle Lever Question

    Does the standard throttle lever on the NCM Moscow Plus work as an on/off trigger or a graduated application of power? I tried with all effort to get the throttle to output partial power but all I can seem to accomplish is full assist or no assist. Nothing in between. What I'd like is actually...

    Selle Royale seat clip

    For the Moscow Plus the Selle Royale seat has some sort of clip system for accessories. I see Selle Royale sell some bags that make use of the clip, but is the clip proprietary to Salle Royale or is it a standard thing that I can find other accessories for? I see some Topeak clip bags but they...

    Questions about the Spanninga Kendo light that comes with the NCM rear rack

    I was planning to order the NCM built rear rack that comes with the Spanninga Kendo light. I can either order the kit with the rack and light or just the rack. I was wondering for the Spanninga Kendo light, how does it turn on/off? Where is the switch or is just on whenever the bike is on?

    Moscow / Moscow+ Bike Rack bosses

    The frame mounted bosses for the Moscow and Moscow + rear bike racks do not seem to be in any position I've seen before. Is it at all a common place for rear bike rack bosses? I am wondering if there's any racks besides the NCM factory made rack that will take advantage of them?
