    Free Tech

    First step is contact the dealer you bought the bike from. They should be able to help you. If not PM me with exact make and model.

    ABS for E-Bikes

    Agreed, I would not give up the ABS on my latest motorcycle. No way can my human reactions compare to the monitoring the system does. Nor would I go back to rim brakes from the hydraulic disks I have on my eBike. Just saying even technology cannot compensate for incompetence.

    ABS for E-Bikes

    My point exactly. Just because the machine has the capability does not necessarily translate when the rider does not. With assisted bikes allowing people to get back into riding who dropped out of riding from age, lack of heath etc. I regularly get customers who want class two machines or...

    ABS for E-Bikes

    Being one of the OG (old guy) original members of ABATE (a brotherhood against totalitarian enactments) of Wisconsin members we have been involved in motorcycle safety since the early 70s. While technologies that make riding safer are always a good thing I have found that education is far more...

    Ocean Current brake cutoff delay? Excessive Delay?

    Ocean Current brake cutoff delay? Excessive Delay?

    If you look on the forward edge of the torque plate most companies have a small access hole which allows adjustment without dissasembly. Using a 2mm hex (allen) the set screw for the TMM sensor can be mechanically adjusted for sensitivity. Make sure to use a regular wrench not a ball end. The...

    Welcome to Disability and Ebiking

    Haibike has the Hard 4 for kids and prodecotech was talking a 20" BMX bike but I never saw that hit the market.

    Madison Wisconsin is great and has a lot of multiuse trails and bike lanes. A university and government center means a higher than average bicycle usage. The community seems to value bicycling and foot travel. And car traffic seems to be more aware and courteous especially where the path crosses...

    Emoto controller

    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news Groper but you have already exceeded the value of the bike the minute you touched it. Emoto was distributed by discount big boxes like Menards and such, besides having substandard bike components the electrics left a lot to be desired. New range rarely exceeded...

    Should wearing helmet be optional?

    Situational awareness is the best defense. I hate the loss of peripheral vision and hearing with a helmet (motorcycle) . I know bicycle helmets are different but dealing with stage 4 cancer a hit in the head seems a blessing. If I am going to hit this old nut hard enough to crack it I doubt a...

    Should wearing helmet be optional?

    A couple of times and survived them with abrasions. Had a friend who survived a direct faceplant with a deer (gutted it with his head) on a motorcycle. He swears a helmet would have broke his neck. With his head tucked down it just planted his head down into his shoulders and knocked him and his...

    Should wearing helmet be optional?

    I own three helmets, one motorcycle (not DOT approved) and two bicycle. They make nice wall hangings. I don't like any person or government telling me what to do, especially for my own good. I smoke and own guns (not saying how many). I like my freedom even the ones the government was so...

    ST2 Motor "Judder"

    Having serviced hundreds of Stromer of all flavors the Syno motored bikes (ST2, ST2S) shutter or some times described as stutter. It will be easily noticed by a definite vibration (feels like an angry vibrator in your seat) when under assist and may also be accompanied by a drive error...

    Introducing Rich from Crazy Lenny's

    I agree with the posts above that both those systems are good and have sufficient power for what you need. Not to add too much info to the mix also consider Brose which makes a very good system, very quiet and subtle in power application. As has been said in the past in many places on this forum...

    Introducing Rich from Crazy Lenny's

    Crazy Ray's ? I hope you were talking Lenny's. While in general center drive (bottom bracket) motors deliver more usable power to the ground, especially if you are measuring the torque, they tend to be less powerful themselves (250 & 350 w typical). Due to the mechanical gearing advantages...

    Anyone use a trainer with your ebike?

    We have used them at the shop at times for load testing bikes during inclement weather. Depending on the model you may need to modify the axle clamps for wire clearance, but for our use it was not an issue since we ran the bike in a power stand anyway. Have to check to see what ones we used. Not...

    Most Popular E-Bike company on this forum

    You are right in all respects 5,6 are motor related error but when grouped like that likely false positives. 13 comm error and 14 is footer (powering up with pedal pressure) the most common cause...display or display cradle. Wipe contacts with a clean cloth (or dirty shirt tail HA) no solvent...
