    Charging Baterie to maximum all the time.

    Regarding Bateries I am no "Expert" therefore I listen to what People claiming to have Knowledge, have to say. However that does not mean I do not question the "Experts" answers if something seems off. And only the Almighty knows how many real "Experts" there are in the Internet. If things...

    Washing the eBike with Hub Motor with Water. Be either very careful or don't do it.

    Yesterday I changed out the defective Motor Core for the new one which I received a few days ago. Now I have a complete spare Rear Wheel with Tire ready to change it with the one in my Bike if that one develops a problem. This was not difficult at all after watching again the very good Fucare...

Been doing about 20 Km a Day, already had a Flat Tire (Rearwheel 4X20) which was actually very easy to fix myself. I am here to Learn and share...
