    Do you actually USE the gears on your e-bike?

    I think its better to use gears. The motor puts a lot of torque through the chain and cassette and using the smallest cog all the time will just speed up the wearing out process of the chain.

    As far as i'm aware. No. Just be sure to move the magnet back to its normal position. But mine is a 2016 model and cant be connected to their diagnostic system.

    Quick-E+

    To bleed brakes you will need the shimano bleed kit, bleed block, tools to remove brake pads and push back the piston fully. Allen keys to remove bolts on brake lever and caliper to connect bleed kit. I think shimano uses mineral oil. I have sram brakes on my giant so not fully sure. A bike...

    On e bikes the torque increases the wear on cassettes and chains hugely. This has happened to me. Best thing is to keep the chain and cassette as clean as possible. Lube the chain often. Another problem I had was a worn freehub body caused side play in the cassette and caused premature wear in...

    Wow. Are the motor bolts tight when you do that ? I changed my motor bolts and nuts to titanium ones with 2 washers and a lock washer and the motor is nice and snug. I found the original bolts got rusty and the Allen heads started to round off little when loosening the bolts.

    I had the same creaking. its the plastic cover of the battery terminal rubbing against the plastic engine cover. I have put anti seize compound on the motor bolts and cleaned the plastic covers around the motor and the creaks went away.
