How's everyone doing who lives in SoCal? I haven't seen Jeremy posting recently, and I believe the fire is in his neighborhood. Hope he's alright.

Just read this about the new California ebike restrictions, and thought I'd pass it on: https://electrek.co/2025/01/01/starting-today-california-is-coming-for-your-e-bike-throttles/

I read about this feature before that's on the Grin controller installed on my direct-drive hub motor ebike. Today, I used the feature. When you go to assist level 0 the controller gives the motor a watt of power, and the wheel rolls without the magnets causing cogging resistance. Which means...

I thought I saw a post somewhere that said you can run a 36v TSDZ2 on 48v. Searched for the post, and I can't find it. So, my question is can you overvolt a 36v TSDZ2b to 48v, and what would need to be done on the controller's settings? I have a bunch of 4s/2p batteries arriving next week, and...

Well, it's only a two speed at the rear hub like a cassette and derailleur. Though it is kind of ingenious how it works, which is in an animation in a marketing video in this link: https://newatlas.com/bicycles/shift-drive-two-speed-belt-drivetrain/ . Veer is the manufacturer, though it might...

Isn't this the cutest trike that you ever saw?

Well, I just had an idea. I just finished this build (as if this build will ever be finished): It was built out of mostly a pile of free parts, a 36v Tsdz2B, and a spare Huffy Oslo battery. The bike is kinda heavy and slow with that 36v motor. I'll fix that, maybe. Why I put this thing...

More like an afternoon, but I took some me time and put a motor on a bike that I have been piecing together from free stuff: The bike, a Rocky Mountain Fanatik, came without wheels, chain, or rear derailleur. The rear wheel is now an unused Nuvinci 360 hub in a new eyeleted 24 inch rim (I did...

I took my new-build out on a shakedown ride today. It has a torque sensing direct drive hub motor with regenerative braking. Looking at the picture, with the front rim white and the back rim black, it looks kind of ratty. Oh well, second build on a thirty dollar bike. The battery was from my...

I've had a few geared-hubmotor bikes and built a mid-drive a couple of months ago. The mid-drive has no suspension, thin tires, and is one fast bike. That led me to believe that putting the mid-drive motor on a full suspension bike would be so much better. Well, my community bike shop closed and...

Sadly, our local non-profit bike shop is shutting down, though I was able to feast in their bike heap yesterday. Found these two for $30 each. I am planning to install a BBSHD on the MTB in order to feel what an ebike with suspension is like. It seems to be in really good condition, though it...
