    With 125% tariffs, will the e-bike market die?

    @Romers, for an example, this week someone in the North contacted me outside of EBR to buy a super nice mid-drive with my support in English and with the factory supporting me. The quote came in at a few hundred delivered to his workplace for a daytime signature from UPS. So, with the majority...

    Brand New drift slide 1500w e-bike battery is not working

    It happens all the time. The bar comes in the box usually strapped to the right side of the fork and the display wire gets pulled open slightly. I am going to be honest with this and it is what I would say to a close friend. This bike is a waste of money at any price (unless you are staging one...

    I have a Raleigh Hybird in my shop today from beautiful Point Reyes as it falls into the sea. The battery died. But thankfully it was external. So, I installed a new external battery that looks great. It works and the matching black mountain water bottle cage to hold it arrives today. I have has...

    How do I fix left hand brake issue.

    You might need to take it to your local bike shop that sells and supports these bikes. Or drop it off and walk away at Whole Foods for Bezos to deal with.

    How do I fix left hand brake issue.

    @wilspeak, try disconnecting the wire to the display or if it has one between the display and remote that has the M button. Look to see if any pins are bent, if so straighten with a toothpick. Carefully align and reconnect. After that if it is still not powering on look at the connector between...

    Bird 36volt 12.8ah 500watt A frame E-bike wiring

    Does the base have a pigtail to its connector? If so, under its black outer insulation should be the same colors of wires. Where are the thick red and black wires for power?

    That is a full battery. Make sure that the connector to the display is tight.

    first ebike

    Big time stay away from bikes that have no local service like 'Be Cool' these are all internet only bikes that are hype-junk and will cost more in the first three month than the initial price and over the short total life of the 'bike' ten times more and is still junk! Bikes have pedals...

    With the 'My owner beats me,' sticker, in a book I just finished reading, Magical Thinking, people keep sending the author photos of their privates! This was after his first NYT #1 book. A guy from Italy sent a photo with a glass eye in the '4-skin.' Here is looking at you kid. Note that no...

    Where is the controller on this Walmart ebike?

    Wire gauges from the factory are based on specification power anticipations. You will burn wires top to bottom if exceeding them. One variable change impacts all others. You can't just overclock a chip on a slower PC. It all works together, as originally planned. Wires and connectors will be...

    Where is the controller on this Walmart ebike?

    follow a wire and it will lead to the controller. It is the junction box for all functions, with the motherboard and more.

    Signs of Spring

    The barn swallows are magnificent flyers, they came back on the 4th and hawks cannot catch them, no matter what. The hills are so green, but I had to do taxes and wire bikes indoors today with very few excursions for meetings. We are taking matters into our on hands as far as signage and...

    The purposeful market manipulation for profit will be documented. At least I've got some peanut butter.

    Signs of Spring

    Six tiny fluffball newborn goslings swimming between their parents for the first time in the river. The ones on the inter-tidal river are so much healthier than the ones a quarter mile away on an artificial pond. They mostly graze on the bottom when the tide goes out and also get wild greens...

    With 125% tariffs, will the e-bike market die?

    After a year of working at someone else's eBike shop. I am back on my own doing conversions and repairs. If you are only importing the key ingredient, the motor, that cuts down on the total tax. It is also recycling cycling, because you are taking an already great existing bike and updating it...

    Best E-Bike Conversion Kit?

    I feel so lucky. I can ride everyday of the year and have access to amazingly good bike infrastructure. Some of my best friends are semi-hippy-chick cargo moms that use bikes for everything around town. It is not really about the tech, more than the lifestyle that it provides. Yesterday I hung...

    Experience with hub-drives with BOTH torque- and cadence-sensing assist?

    Sometimes when I go to paste, it will enter something I had copied earlier in the day. But that is funny about the pet feeder.
