    I want a Hydrogen fuel cell E-bike

    Better idea, use the O2, it's only about 20%, but it's highly chemically reactive, unlike N2 which is inert. You could maybe combine it with a hydrocarbon in a chemical reaction and extract the energy created and use that to create mechanical power.

    I want a Hydrogen fuel cell E-bike

    If you thought $9k was expensive, I hate to tell you what the prototype cost ;)

    I want a Hydrogen fuel cell E-bike

    The company I work for also built one - Linde H2 eBike. It was built mainly as a prototype and was never brought to full production. You will also notice the range of the Pragma Bike (per fuel charge) is about what a standard eBike range is (60 miles) and it weighs 60 lbs (about the same as...

    I want a Hydrogen fuel cell E-bike

    While a fuel cell vehicle will weigh less than an BEV this does not even come close to closing the difference in end to end efficiency even with insitu H2 production. The reason it H2 costs more is primarily due to energy consumption for production, distribution, storage and filling, although...

    I want a Hydrogen fuel cell E-bike

    That is simply incorrect the efficiencies are not even close to mostly the same I am sorry to say. Cannot comment on conspiracy theories about hidden tech.

    I want a Hydrogen fuel cell E-bike

    Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but hydrogen will never replace EVs. It's pretty straight forward from an engineering perspective; every time you change energy from one form to another you introduce losses. If you take electricity and convert that energy to hydrogen and then back in to...

    Recommendations for Basket for Rear Rack

    Can't help with the basket, but in the image you attached that is clearly using zip ties to secure the crate to the rack.

    R750 Display / Controller upgrade?

    Easy swap, directly replaces current display. No wiring other than plugging it in.

    R750 Display / Controller upgrade?

    Got my 850C today and it works perfectly out of the box and is a much nicer display than the base unit. Worth the upgrade. Just wish it had profile switching like the EggRider.

    R750 Display / Controller upgrade?

    I ordered the Lushui version. It has the correct connector and works with the controller on the R750, but it does not work properly for me currently. M2S has the 850C in stock now as well now and I also ordered this and will get mine today. Just a side note, these are both just display...

    R750 Display / Controller upgrade?

    I just received EggRider yesterday and did get it working somewhat, but have had some issues. The lights do not currently work and I am having issues with PAS working properly and speed is not displayed properly. I need to spend some more time on the settings to see if I can get it working...

    e-bike towbar carrier question

    I have a Thule T2Pro XT mounted in a 2" receiver and I remove the batteries as the rack rated bike weight is 60 lbs and the bikes weigh about 65 lbs with batteries installed and 56 lbs without the battery. I have not faced bad weather but agree with your concern. I would probably pick up an...

    New to Ebikes what to choose?

    If you are looking for a fat tire bike take a look at M2S as well. I was looking for an eBike to use for similar purposes and compared the same as you noted in the 1500 USD range and the inclusion of 750W hub motor, hydraulic brakes and a 16.5 Ah (48V) battery and rack and fenders in the M2S...

    Looking for an e-bike with some unique considerations...

    At $1300 the Schwinn seems like a great value and if it has a 14 Ah battery (could not find this in the specs, only in review), then it is even better. As long as the 350W motor with a 36V battery is enough for where you plan to ride I think this is a great option, possibly just add a...

    R750 Display / Controller upgrade?

    I am checking if I can upgrade with the EggRider, anyone looked in to this before? www.eggrider.com Gives a lot of flexibility and smaller display.

    R750 - First Ride Today

    Got my R750 a few weeks ago myself and have ridden it about 80 miles or so, so far. Decided to do a battery test and using a mix of 1-9 PAS and throttle (but capped my top speed at 20 MPH due to NJ restrictions) go about 48 miles of range before it started to cut out with 4E warning and then...

    Known Issues & Problems with Rad Power Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    Could be a few things. Assuming that the shifter is matched to the derailleur, the cable might have too much friction / be routed poorly. Check the routing of the cable, and if you can clean the cable. If that is not it check your high limit setting on the derailleur to make sure it is not...
