Has anyone seen instructions for splitting the frame when replacing the belt on a Charger3? Can't find anything anywhere on this. On an initial look it appears that the frame split is accomplished via the two large black ( 2 on each side) Torx screws normally used to loosen the wheel when...

Shimano does not list a motor operating temperature, they only publish a battery operating temperature. The later is down to -10C which is not very useful if the motor operating temperature is only -5C. Bosch's does publish this specification, it's -5C for two motor models I checked. Has...

The new Ohm mid motor bike is a real treat, an incredibly solid and comfortable ride! I'm still getting more than 120 kms on a charge on my hilly commute with power to spare. I still haven't used the third level BOOST other than once in a while by accident, with the ECO and TRAIL settings...

Just coming up on my first 10,000 kms on Ohm's new Shimano mid motor ebike, and I'm just as impressed as I was back in September when I traded up from Ohm's Bionx D500. The range is pretty consistent at over 120 kms for my hilly commuting, plus weekend shopping/errands, -I know I'll see this...

If you are looking for the pdf user report (details of the shimano devices, settings etc.) after you have requested the Unit Log Acquisition on the above app, it is buried way down in the file system. Look in: My files, internal storage: then folders: Android data...

As the subject states, I'm now a convert. I never thought I would say this after almost 4 years of riding the best hub motor in the industry. I'm just approaching 3 weeks and 1,000 kms on Ohm's new mid motor model based on Shimano STePS and I'm more than impressed. I had tried mid motors...

I'm trying to be proactive and avoid getting wacked again by a truck mirror or worse and this looks like a potential solution, but have not seen any reviews or comments on practicality of these. Has anyone experience with clearance-safety flags (other than the vertical ones on recumbent bikes...

Ok that's just as the crow flies but still a milestone. I passed the 40,000 km mark a couple of weeks ago, thankfully before the snow and ice arrived which has lessened the riding days. I couldn't not ride to work this morning, it was raining but was 3 above (C) so just a regular commute...

Another month or so and I'll have done the equivalent of the circumference of the Earth in just about bang on 3 years on my Ohm(s). I say (s) as I did upgrade to the 2017 model this spring. I would have got there a bit faster but had a wee fight with a curb and sidewalk a couple of months...

After just over 28 months and 32,000 kms on my 2014 Urban, I traded up to the 2017 model. I don't normally get into trading up a perfectly good ride for "something new", but this time I did spoil myself and took the leap. What A treat! It's not possible in my mind how anyone could improve...

Portland State University is excited to partner with PeopleForBikes and the Bicycle Product Suppliers Association (BPSA) to conduct a survey of e-bike users in North America. The survey looks to understand why people purchased their e-bike and how they use them in their lives. Additionally, we...

I decided to update every 2,000 km as another 1,000 every 3 weeks or so. Spring has sprung out here in the West, a wet one this year but no longer white and slushy. Looking to hit the "round the world" distance of 40,000 by the mid to end of the summer. That will be about 30 months from date...

Just passed the 30,000 km on the weekend! Another 10,000 and that'll be around the world, should make that by late summer early fall. With the winter and the icy roads we've had this season commuting has been a real challenge to say the least, but the temperatures are coming back up to...

I had 4 almost 5 weeks where riding to work was impossible and even locally it was very intermittent. Biking on ice and snow is not recommended if one likes to ride upright, I found that out last year and did not wish to repeat a couple of wipe outs. It's definitely a cooler winter than last...

I hit 28,000 last week shortly after upgrading to the new display and controller, which are over the top fantastic. For most of last and this week she's staying pretty close to "home" as there is about 5 km of ice and snow on my ~ 20km trek to work, -it's just not worth the risk. Sounds like...

I upgraded my 2 year old Ohm with D500 system with the new controller and display 2 weeks ago and wow what an improvement! The new display is visually "stunning". You can set different default views from full technical details to basic or enhanced graphics, the colored LCD is so even the...

I noted the maintenance on the European vacationers using the Haibikes (I assume this list of parts replaced was for two bikes). After 11,682 km they reported: "Parts replaced – 4 chains, 4 cassettes, 6 sets of brakes, 1 sram hub, 2 rear wheels, 1 Bosch controller, 2 bike stands, 2 sets of...

Yes my XU 700 is still going strong! I pushed things a bit on the chain and running gear, with 16,000 Km on this chain. In hind sight I should have changed it at 10,000 as the wear on the de-railer wheels was considerable, but it was completely operational. As well as the derailer wheels I...

I passed the 20,000 km last Friday on my Xu700 which happened to be bike to work week out here at a few days over 17 months of riding. Some figured I'd break some record for distance on a ebike, but apparently some vacationing Aussies hit 22,000 last week in Europe on their Haibike's. I may...

With the summer weather already upon us on the West coast my winter 1000 km/month rate is now getting up to 12-1300. I should be coming up to another maintenance overhaul (first and only one was at 10,000 km), -but nothing is showing any wear or "slop". Bottom bracket is tight, chain shows...
