    Bosch Hub Line

    Keyde has sold a hub motor that sounds almost identical for years. P110 with built in cadence/speed/inclinometer 45nm 36v 250w/750max. Also wireless display/controls or phone app. Currently thru axle version motor (S110 offered in both 142 and 148 OLD versions) is only cadence sensing and...

    REVIEW: QR-E 250W ELECTRIC BOOSTER BICYCLE MOTOR AND B60i AND B70 BATTERY

    Thanks but it's not worth my time to pursue, let alone cost of shipping even if Qiroll was willing.

    Kickstand Alternative ( YES ! )

    I picked up a tool hook today and looked around the garage for bits to make a more compact stand than my folding cane or a trekking pole. Only three components (tool hook, aluminum rod, foot from trekking pole), four if you count the velcro strap. It wedges between the frame and tire, pretty...

    Gearing change on my Voltbike Kodiak.

    There are a few different lenghts of chainring bolts available if removing the chainguard necessitates a shorter bolt.

    HF Spring Clamps Instead of "Handle Bar Tripods"

    It was definitely air in line in my case that caused heavy brake rub. It wasn't an issue in the cold morning but as the day became hot the brakes rubbed, likely the air expanded with increased temp. It wasn't a complete lock up but it wasn't rideable either. I didn't have a star wrench to...

    REVIEW: QR-E 250W ELECTRIC BOOSTER BICYCLE MOTOR AND B60i AND B70 BATTERY

    Yes on the "jet engine" sound from my Pro. They're both now a few years old so I'm not hopeful for any warranty support. I just need to move on from Qiroll or any other friction drive and stick to what has proven to work for me.

    HF Spring Clamps Instead of "Handle Bar Tripods"

    I don't know but I'll keep that in mind. This particular bike has cable discs but another bike has hydraulic, from experience I can say that I'd like to avoid air in the lines - no fun out in the boondocks a couple hundred miles from home with air locking the brakes.

    HF Spring Clamps Instead of "Handle Bar Tripods"

    Very strong grip, seem to work well on handlebars if needed for flat repair. I like that they are small and very light weight. Will be good for clamping tarp to the mower too.

    West Biking Pedal Adapter

    After riding with them a few times I'll go out on a limb and say that I feel they've been helpful climbing - otherwise I don't notice them except for the increased Q (not bothersome to me) and being careful to avoid pedal strikes. Of course only my opinion, completely subjective and...

    HF Spring Clamps Instead of "Handle Bar Tripods"

    I really bought them to hold a tarp down so I'm not concered if they don't work well for bike handlebars although I suspect they might. No Harbor Freight nearby so Amazon it was. Thanks again.

    HF Spring Clamps Instead of "Handle Bar Tripods"

    I'm not sure how they will work for bike handlebars but I ordered a set of 10 these <$10 including tax and I'll give them a try. Mostly I want them to clamp a tarp on my zero turn for times it's left out of the shed with rain threatening. Wasn't aware that they existed plastic and this size so...

    How do you draw down a battery for long storage?

    Unfortunately I've left lithium batteries fully charged for months unused. Lately I've discharged them like you mention using a buck step down converter (17-65V to 12V) to power a 12v appliance - in my case a small cooler that I use on road trips that I power with ebike battery when car isn't...

    New Federal E-Bike Legislation March 2026

    I used to think that UK ebike restrictions seemed overly restrictive but now they feel that they're just ahead of the curve. US has been slower to respond with improved regulation for the sake of safety and basic sanity but we're coming around (not so long ago WA didn't even require insurance...

    REVIEW: QR-E 250W ELECTRIC BOOSTER BICYCLE MOTOR AND B60i AND B70 BATTERY

    The Mute developed a regular clicking noise and drop in power, very little magnet resistance spinning the motor compared to before. The Pro suddenly lost power on a ride and wouldn't restart despite battery not being drained, after that episode it has worked but intermittently clicks. I wonder...

    West Biking Pedal Adapter

    Not adjustable, they have a bearing that allows the adapter 360 rotation at the crank arm and the pedal, of course, rotates 360 at the adapter. What I can say is that they lower the pedal at top and bottom of the stroke by 1" and they increase the Q factor by 0.75" each for a total of 1.5"...

    West Biking Pedal Adapter

    Am I the only one desperate enought to give these things a try? Picked them up for <$15 on impulse just to see, not saying they help but won't yet say that they don't. Rode down into town and back on a bike with 500w TSDZ2, last time on this bike was about 10 days ago and I used the two...

    REVIEW: QR-E 250W ELECTRIC BOOSTER BICYCLE MOTOR AND B60i AND B70 BATTERY

    Good that it works so well for your use. I only ride for recreation or exercise, not to get anywhere fast or without getting sweaty. For me - on a flat looking route like yours - I wouldn't even bother with any assist. I want/need assist for hills/climbing and my Qiroll Mute and Pro just...

    I finally took my ebike for a test ride.

    All I can say is that it always works for me (fingers crossed) done on many chains and brands over several decades without a failure (so far). I do use quick links when that seems the easiest option.

    Hello from AZ

    I've never had a problem with chains from single to 11speed using a standard Park as well as department store chainbreaking tool. Need to have a feel for when pin is pushed out enough without completely removing it (although the pin can be replaced if accidentally removed), also need to work...
