hey Link i'll try to send you direct msg but do you still have the OM? the challenge will be to figure out cost of a freight forwarder who is hazmat certified due to living out here in Maui.... but would be willing to at least talk with you about figut this out with you if you still have it...

Thank you for info on spokes. should i need to replace further ones...i will let mechanmic do this :). all the more reason for me to get a mid-drive motor such as the bbshd but the bike i would wan tis $1k and still 6 months to year est. shipping. cant spend 2kplus right now. it is a used bike...

Hey folks, Sharing some notes/comments after commuting on both an ebike and regular bike since Feb 2021. the ebiek i will not state name as they are known to sue people which is stupid and anti-customer. do not get me started on this practice. the ebike has about 350w power, single speed and...

Hey Lin, Hadn't thought about the battery capacity/range of the PAS or controller. I suppose the cell phone bank should work. Questions: About how long does the PAS and controller last before needing charging? i realize this largely depends on usage but say if i'm using max power assist...

As an update, Grace did reply. My oh so clever email address resulted in my messages being sent to their Spam folder by accident. So she did not see them until yesterday. They are out of stock of batteries and expect sometime in March.

Also, as i live on island, QiRoll mentioned i could buy the kit without the battery to allow the QiRoll to be shipped via air rather than slower sea-based shipping required for hazmat. Anyways, this means i could buy a bigger battery as long as the spects are compatible. Cost-wise, due to...

Question: how easy and how long does it take for you to remove the QR-E motor? Do you think there are any weak points to the mounting system that might make regular (like 2x a day periodically) mounting and removal of motor, not safe/cause breakage of a part? BTW: I asked QiRoll about the...

Thank you for the info. I do have sensitive thumb/wrists due to tendonitis-ish stuff but qr should be ok. Maybe they will add pedal assist to the next update.

Just to confirm: Red mode is the main power/sport mode but do you have to hold the button down the entire time like you do with the Eco mode? Or can you release the button and the motor will stay active and running in full power mode? I watched the youtube video by Jim Chung and he mentions...

I think you are right and just a two-way mounting option on the stem. I think the "reverse" means the roller will still power your bike forward if installed either side of the stem. Which makes sense. Regen was my lazy way of saying regenerative braking which in theory means the unit will very...

I appreciate the update. Hope you can enjoy more soon. Link for the Pro https://qirollshop.com/product/qr-e-pro-b70-battery-kit-copy/ Cons: costs 2/3 more than QRE for only 70w more peak power, probably a litlte louder Pros: regeen braking, reverse mode H70 33V 9ah battery instead of the B70's...

Hi Nice write up and helpful to find an actual review of the QIRoll. Like you, I cruise around the same speeds as you for same reason. Plus, my cruiser nandling is not meant for higher speeds. Good to know about the friction tape being smooth and not sandpaper. Questions: Now that it has been...

I appreciate your help again LIn. Good points to consider as I forget that sometimes extra patience is required. Esp with a young tiny company. My concerns remain but at least I have a better understanding. My interest also remains though as it seems a great fit on paper for my situation. But, I...

Hi Lin, I appreciate all of your help and the detailed information about your experiences with OM. What is your average response time to hear from Jeff/Grace? That being asked....unfortunately, you seem to be the only one who receives any reasonable communication from OM....From reading...

Again, I appreciate the helpful info. I wish the OM site provided more details about the unit and all of its' components. It is detailed but certain omissions lead to frequently asked ?s would be my guess. i know they are small and busy making the units. And, yes you're right about all things...

hmm hadnt thought about battery replacement. Glad it is replaceable. Actually, I would prefer a wired version of the OM to minimize such issues. Little more cumbersome but I wouldn't mind. I just read your waterproofing Alps test - answers my rain ? (as well as the gentaman in UK who also...

Hi Lin, i know it has been a while...but wondering how your unit is doing now that it is about 1.5 yrs old? Any cons that you have discovered? Also, how has the grip of the unit aged? Being that it is a synthetic compound, at some point it will wear down.... Also, have you ridden with it...

Thank you for reply made me laugh. whatever bike i buy, i'm leaning twd the boring ol' black color :-). less attention i get, the bettert. maybe red as it reminds of Ford's Torch Red....or something that says "a l o h a" haha

Thank you for the info OP and posters. These owner feedbacks are helping me a lot. FYI, an interesting article on hub motors found Shenghyi (however you spell) is that they are nearly as good as Bafang in quality at a cheaper price. In terms of specs/accuracy of specs, they seem close to Bafang...

Thank kyou Sierratim for info. Yes, I will have to learn the basics of bike care. I'll invest in those itesm as well sthe tire liners you mentioned. Tubeless might be a good idea for me but the weight is an issue. That is also a challenge that i'm also worried about a little as I live on 2nd...
