    Would either or both of these ebike batteries be OK ?

    The first question to ask is what brand cells and the second question is can you trust the vendor to tell the truth.

    HT1000 - 29er not possible due to forks, I'm gutted. can't decide what to do now - any advice appreciated.

    The 27.5 is all you need, I am 6'1 and 210 with the large frame and 27.5. I wouldn't want 29 tires. As a commuter it is plenty of bike. I'm not sure why you would think you need 29.

    I upgraded my chainring to a 46 tooth, you need a longer chain for that. It is easy to change out the chainring and I had to do very little adjustment. You may be able to keep your chain with a 44 tooth.

    storing my electric bike at the beach

    If your storage unit is enclosed then you might try putting some containers of Damp Rid in there to draw moisture as well.

    129 million trees have died since 2010 from drought, bark beetle and climate change in National Forests in California. note that is National Forests controlled by the Feds. To remove a dead tree costs about $250 each, you do the arithmetic. More people have built homes in the urban forest...

    Controller replacement gone wrong.

    Water should not be used on any lithium fire because pouring water on a lithium battery fire can make it more difficult to extinguish it because of the reduction of lithium in water, which leads to the release of hydrogen, which is highly flammable; the potential of reigniting a fire is much...

    Controller replacement gone wrong.

    It is a good example of why you shouldn't use water to try to put out a lithium battery fire.

    Electric Bike Companies That Have Gone Out Of Business

    TidalForce Electric Bikes by Wavecrest These ebikes had a rear hub motor and a front wheel hub with the batteries. I have 2 bikes I built using their S750 frame. http://www.electrikmotion.com/Tidal%20Force%20Electric%20Bike.htm

    California E-bike laws, can they be ridden in State Parks?

    Sawyer Camp Trail is not a state park, it is part of San Mateo County Parks so you would have to know their policy on ebikes.

    Greetings.I am new to all this,so i need a little help.I wnted to buy rear hub conversion kit,but i heard that the wheel dimension i have 37-590(26x1

    If you have a lot of steep hills and that will be a major part of your rides a mid drive is probably better. Hub motors have trouble on steep hills take low gears and a lot of pedaling. Although to some degree it may vary on hub motors depending on the windings of the motor.

    New Frey Owners

    It is not centered on my HT1000. It is wider on the side with the brake rotor. That seems to be the way it was built, not a misadjustment.
