    new ebiker looking for some adivce

    This is probably not your problem, but it's worth a try. I have a magnum metro. I find that when the battery is low on charge and I try to use a lot of PAS or throttle the whole system shuts down. It acts as if the battery no longer has enough juice to even power the screen. I don't know much...

    Magnum Metro+ rear bag recommendations?

    I would like a hard sided carrier to fit on top of the rack instead of a bag. I don't know if you have considered this. It would allow me to lock up stuff in the "trunk" instead of an easy-to-get-into bag. I know that it won't provide perfect safety, but it would be a little bit harder to...

    Magnum Metro user report 1 year later

    If you set it to eco, what it the effect? I assume that mine is set to normal. It's possible that I might like my "1" to be a little slower, but I'm not sure if I want to risk messing things up to try this. Also is the password the same for all Magnum Metros.

I was thinking the other day when I was stopped at a red light (and forgot to gear down) how good it would be if I...

    Charging to 80% without a Satiator

    I have a Magnum Metro. Magnum has told me that it is best to charge the battery no more than 80%, which I already knew. Unfortunately, the supplied charger doesn't stop at 80%, which is probably necessary for the times you really do need a full charge. They suggested that I time the charging and...

    Cost/benefit analysis of ebiking versus driving a car

    Did you leave gas savings off the list on purpose? Or is it included in the transportation expense bucket? I'd like to know the gas vs electricity difference. I would think it's pretty significant if you bike instead of dino auto a number of miles.

    Biktrix Stunner vs Magnum Metro

    I'm not very knowledgeable about the specifications. I'm more of a "just ride" biker. I've had a Magnum Metro for almost a year and I'm very pleased. I think I was pretty lucky since I didn't do much research. The bike has held up pretty well. I ride in a very hilly area and I try to reduce the...
