    Plug shows signs of melting?

    Someone on another site recommended this charger replacement. I’m 72, this motor kit was a gift to my sister, so I want to get it right. I know very little about volts and watts. This should work, right? Or is there a better one? The price is good. I thought these would be much more money.

    Plug shows signs of melting?

    My sister sent me a photo of the cable end that inserts into her battery. She said it sparks when she plugs it in and the end looks charred. What can that indicate? She has her charger powered first and then connects the charge cable to the battery, as instructed for proper sequence. ( bad...

    Should I change my Bafang control display

    I'm a young 70 year old and I added a bafang kit to my Terratrike rambler and it works very well. I was advised to get the 500c color display. I'm having difficulty seeing much in direct sunlight, as I see others also have with this. I can see the power setting and have lived with this. I...

    So, I had a bafang front motor kit installed on my sisters bike, and she is asking about how to ride it. She has the mechanical gears of course, and now has a number of levels of assist, plus the throttle. What do most people do on this? Of course just using throttle is not what she really...

    My sister owns a 2015 women's Trek Verve 3 bike. We want to surprise her with a bafang emotor kit, but I'm unsure of her wheel size. I'm given the choice of 26, 27 or 29 inches. She might have a 700c... Which wheel size should we pick? I don't want to call and ask her obviously. I could...

    Rad mini handlebar potentially loose

    The handlebar can rotated with respect to the front tire. The screws seem to be torqued properly but are not clamping hard enough to prevent rotation. Check it by holding your front wheel between your knees and try to rotate the handlebar while keeping the wheel straight. I had my two bolts...
