    I Crashed !!!

    I fell off a bike when I was five and had the when knocked out of me for the first time. Thought I was dying. My older brother talked me through it. Falling hard, just from a standing height, can hurt real bad. Remember when we were young and indestructible? Ain't so anymore.

    Controller repair/replacement?!

    How many wires go from the battery to the controller? If it's just the positive and negative, then the controller probably isn't proprietary and the world is your oyster. Then you can buy a controller kit from many sources, making sure it fits and is voltage and power compatible with your bike...

    machinists don't use torque wrenches

    If you want to get technical, throw away the torque wrench and measure bolt stretch instead. There is a lot of if, ands, and buts in the proper use of a torque wrench.

    Few issues

    It looks like he has a speed sensor on the rear wheel, as would be expected. So, changing the cluster shouldn't affect his displayed speed.

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

    Last night I felt this momentary pang, and as that sharp emotion evaporated into the darkness all that I had was one word -- depression. Kinda scary, but just a right brain flash I suppose.

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

    I wouldn't mind a Cybertruck if I could get one super cheap. With some adept surgery it might make a decent camper. I'd travel the country from one Tesla charging station to the next.;)

    How can I adjust the bike gears and make sure that the gear is correctly placed?.

    Small sprocket is the higher gear. First gear would be the easiest to pedal.

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

    One must try to count their blessings, and I have one. That would be getting into fixing and building ebikes. That started the summer of 2022 when I purchased a Huffy Oslo on ebay. As an ebike it was seriously lacking and my search for a cure led me here to this very forum. And it was the posts...

    How do I fix left hand brake issue.

    That's your brake cable that's slipped out. If you line up the slots of the ferrule and lock ring you should be able to slip it back into position. Make sure the slots aren't in line after reassembly.

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

    I don't know what you all are doing about this trade fiasco, but I just bought myself a whole bunch of zip-ties, because they're made in China and the duty is going to suck. Afterall, an artist needs their media

    Has anyone tried building a hub motor wheel with your rim? Is it complicated?

    Grin (ebikes.ca) has how to lace a hub motor video, and a spoke calculator, which I have used to build 3 motor wheels. They even sell cut to length spokes. It worked out very well for me.
