    Wireless battery recharging

    Is there any technology out there we can use for ebikes to provide battery recharging without having to make a plug-in connection , like the induction pad that can recharge a smartphone? It would be convenient to leave the bike at a charging area without fidding with the plug and connector. it...

    Newbie to wiring lights - need some guidance

    I have a small 14" tire electric folding bike and it has been very portable and convenient except in one aspect : charging the front and rear USB lights. May I request some advice on how to get started , what lights and components to buy, and a general guide on how get them wired into the...

    Upgrade a small 14" folding bike with front suspension fork

    i have a very compact rigid folding bike with 14x 2.125 wheels (Swagtron eB-5) and I want to upgrade it with a FRONT suspension fork if possible. However, it's hard to identify one for sale that would fit. It should end up looking the second model like this below. Anyone know? Here is what I...

    An e-Bike that maximizes comfort while handling bumps

    Seems to be 33.9mm ... Same one the Dahon folding bikes use: Dahon seatpost . Yes, fortunately they do make 31.6->33.9mm shim adapters. As for my seat it is an old version Sunlite Cloud C9 which is fairly comfortable.

    i just received the thudbuster 31.6mm -- but it doesn't fit properly -- my seatpost diameter looks like it's about 33mm. I guess I need a shim.

    An e-Bike that maximizes comfort while handling bumps

    i just tried lowering the pressure on my 14x2.1 tires from the recommended 45-60 psi down to 30 psi. I had always filled up the tubes to 60 psi so I could go a while without refilling again. Well this low pressure certainly makes a difference -- it softens the bumps a bit, but more importantly...

    An e-Bike that maximizes comfort while handling bumps

    I think I will get a ThudBuster or other suspension seatpost in the meantime. Is good suspension seatpost as good as , or almost as good as a bike rear shock? Now it means i will have to carry an extra locking cable for it in addition to my U-lock 😉

    An e-Bike that maximizes comfort while handling bumps

    I know an e-Montain bike would best, that could just roll over problems, but I do need something more compact and moped-like. Even this little one could be an improvement over my rigid EB-5. I wonder if I could change the front fork on the EB-5, but it could be non-standard component. I will...

    An e-Bike that maximizes comfort while handling bumps

    I am considering a bike to better deal with city road issues , where some streets seem like riding on the surface of the moon. The e-bikes I own tend to rattle me well . Instead of continuing to look down at the ground and swerve around to avoid road imperfections, I would like to find a new...

    Addding lights

    I am new to this topic, and I am interested in a setup that: 1. has bike lights wired up to a push button control on the handle bar 2. requires that I only need to recharge the bike & lights by attaching one-cable A horn or brake light would be nice, but optional. The idea is to minimize the...
