A new bike/Ebike shop opened up in our small town. They sell the mid-drive Trek bikes. They are about $1000 more then the typical rear hub bike. I have a Magnum from 2018. Live in a hilly area and a little pedal and the throttle has not stopped me, and I'm way over 65. I did ask the owner...

Like many items, it's a throw-away society. They are tack welded together to make the packs. My Magnum battery is pretty common and used on a number of Ebikes. Alas a few differences in the base swivel connection. I've seen this style battery that you can buy with a new base (to fit their...

At 70, my Magnum step through with throttle. I've had it 3 years now. I ride an old RR trail in NJ. Where I live in NJ is very rural, no sidewalks so the streets like this are fine.

My Heybike Mars has two extra keys. The key is a 1642 ILCO blank. Heybike does not sell keys, so a real locksmith can cut a new key with that blank. I'll assume they other models of the Heybike use the same key. Possibly even different makes of bikes that use that same style battery. You...

I went to a locksmith and after 15 min he found a blank key for my Heybike Mars. I brought the battery along with me and both new keys work fine. I'll assume the blanks fit the other models. It is a 1642 ILCO blank. Since Heybike does not sell them, nice to have a few spares ! He believes he...

Yep. Southern NJ. They were told to go to IP home phone via Fiber, or Comcast via cable. You can forward your old tele number.

That is an outrageous price for that tiny battery. My wife has a small scooter, it come apart in 4 pieces and one is the battery. It's a plastic box containing two 12V UPS batteries, in series making 24v. At $40 each battery, not a big deal to replace. Like a UPS battery (Uninterrupted...

My only question is where are you going to ride, in the street with a trailer that's three times as wide as a bike ?

Check this place. There are places that repair these, mostly the west coast. https://www.aliexpress.com/store/1101663108

I would not leave a $2K bike in a public area, gated or not.

I just wrote an article on Ebike batteries. Every bike maker and model seems to have a different battery. I placed in that article a Chinese company that seems to make the batteries for every Ebike. The bike companies just stick their name on it or resell it. It seems (not an expert) that...

This is our NW New Jersey Columbia Trail in Hunterdon County. Someone started Gnome houses along some 6 miles of the trail. https://butkus.org/information/columbia_trail/columbia_trail-2021.htm

I have a Magnum i6 bike. Bought almost 3 years ago. The local store that sold in NJ is no longer. There is another store more then an hour away that sells them and parts. Still getting long life from my battery but I have noted it seem every bike and model has a different battery ! I'm...

That's like a car's DTE, so many factor are involved. Are you pedaling, up hills, down hills, weight of person, speed. If you have 6 segments on the battery display, how many miles per segment ? Not sure if the battery display (or energy drop) is uniform: eg one segment = 8 mile. Would the...
