    E bike companies that have gone out on business

    Most (probably all) US and Canada ebike shops are rebranding Chinese bikes with deep (or not so deep) customization. So either you buy a bike that has very popular/common frame and learn to be handy yourself, or you do the research on each outfit yourself. Or you can buy a BH bike with a 5...

    Best light weight folding bike

    The lightest bike (not counting those custom 12" and 14" Dahon bikes) is the Luna Cycle Luna Mini weight at 36 lbs with battery. I emailed them and they confirmed its with the 5AH 52v battery. It's probably the fastest folding. There are some FWD kit for Dahon/copycats 412 that's lighter but...

    Did a first ride test drive yesterday. Rode about 22 miles. I did 1/3 thottle only, 2/3 on various power settings. The battery started from 5/6 and down to 1/6, pretty close to empty. My commute route is 12.5m each way so I guess it's possible to do a round trip with 1 charge. A couple...

    It's been raining here and it will be raining the next two days. I can't test it outside, might as well post some indoor photos. This is what it looks like out of the box, there is no assembling, you just screw on the pedals and the handlebar. Seat at the lowest position The bike is longer...

    Covering up the things I don't like with 3M reflective tapes. Also hiding all "electric" branding because de Blasio is an idiot .

    So I got my bike delivered 2 days ago. I can't find the suggested tire pressure for the Kenda 20x1.95 tire. What PSI do you guys keep for the front and rear?

    Hi Supergoop, what Pannier do you have? And how many flat do you have so far? I placed an order for a black one, their current ship date is mid Sep. I heard its changing from mag wheel back to spoke wheel too. Is there a more active Voltbike Urban group on the internet besides this thread?
