    Volt meter install

    Hi all...after a long lay off of ebiking due to illness, I'm finally back in the saddle and catching up on projects. This one was a volt meter so I can check my discharge rate as I ride. It's on a 2018 Magnum Ui6. I bought the meter,cable and right angle adapter from Amazon. I had to splice one...

    Battery cutout voltage

    Hi all....my Ui6 is still a wonderful bike. 1635 miles and doing well. The problem I had was self induced. Being winter I never really know when I am going to have to "lay up" the bike for a while due to weather, snow and ice. That being said I keep the voltage around storage voltage approx 75%...

    Got my Magnum Ui6 - includes periodic updates

    I am so happy for your continued success. It gives me great hope for my Ui6. We had a rotten wet winter and now "sprinter" that is pretty wet. Did get in 18 miles the other morning. Didn't break 1k yet, but I have that goal soon. Thanks for the updates, much appreciated ?

    Using Negative Experiences as Learning Opportunities - What is there to learn from this?

    Hope you heal well..I treat cars and such as wild beasts that are barely domesticated. They are ok to be around but can turn on you in a moment. Unless the driver is a cycleist you just don't know where their auto insulated head is and they have little concern for their two wheeled bretheren...

    How many times have you heard "that's cheating!"? ?

    It's funny how I got into e bikes. Actually it was from seeing how the Amish use them here in Ohio. The bike shop I got my Magnum at is in the heart of our Amish country. ?

    What health benefits have you gained and how much weight did you lose since owning an ebike?

    How much of your overall exercise is by riding an ebike? What other exercise do you alternate?

    I usually e bike each day for a while during good weather some days for hours. I've been retired for a year and have recently picked up a part time maintenance job that provides a good amount of varied exercise. It just cuts down on the saddle time?
