    In retrospect, thats where I would have gone. Electopedal (online sales grop) did what they could and have promised to refund the UPS fees incurred. The Mfg was a dismal failure. My suggestion - talk to your retailer and ask them if they will back up the hardware, initial adjustments, etc. The...

    Yes it does, thanks for asking. Really nice pickup when you're crossing an intersection or crossing traffic. 2, 3 and 4th gears. Not so much in 5th or higher (7 speed). But thats okay. Pretty good for an old fart like me!!

    Greetings. Turns out I had a bad battery. I explained everything you guys told me to do. Mfg told me to try a couple of things, then they said that they thought it was the battery, Mfg would not exchange by sending me battery. Had to send it to them up front in Washington. And I also had to pay...

    No battery gauge on the handlebar on this bike. Only on the top of the battery which is behind the seat post. Just got word from the seller that he has requested a new battery. I have this thread bookmarked to let you know if the new battery fixes it. As a newbie, all these items that were...

    Harry - thanks for the info. I can ride the bike for a short while with power, using the throttle. Then it cuts off. I reset the key from ON to OFF to ON and there is power again for a shorter while. And so on a couple times more until no power at all. The backward test does not do anything...

    Disc doesnt appear to be slipping, just took it on a short rid around the block to check. Thanks for the note.

    BTW - there was a strange part left over after assembly. It looks like it should to on the front yoke but that was pre-assembled. Its about the size of a silver dollar. Just a pinch over a millimeter Just got the bike last week, this on/off thing was going from day one. Lights on the top show...

    Found the sensor and magnets. They were slightly askew. Set them back parallel. Unfortunately no change - tried various widths of sensor depth with similar results. I tried your suggestion to support the frame. Motor did not start when I spun the wheel with the PAS on. However, it did start up...

    Pulled the battery, wiped down the connectors, checked the lights on top, checked the charge - all okay. Same thing on a short ride this AM. Its like the battery is not holding the charge although the charger tells me different. It goes green in a few minutes. It worked for about 100 feet, then...

    As far as I can tell, the magnet must be inside the sealed rear wheel hub. The wires go to the post of the axle, then disappear into the middle. Forgive me if I am missing something obvious. I'm a total ebike novice here

    Greetings - first post. Bought a new Trailmaker. I have most of the items tweaked after the second ride. Seat post is still a little wobbly so I have to figure that one out. My question - the PAS seems to go on and off. Its fully charged, the key is ON. I ride for a 100 feet or so and the PAS...
