    Lubing an eBike chain

    I can lean my bike over on the kickstand until the rear wheel is off the ground, then rotate the pedals. I've also used a ratchet strap and my shop ceiling joist with and eye bolt to raise the front or rear of the bike. When raising the rear wheel this way, you'll want something to stop the...

    How accurate are distances on e bikes

    In your controller programming settings, on the "Basic page" where you set the wheel diameter, try changing "SpdMeter Signal" (# of speed sensors) from 1 to 2. That should trick the software into calculating 2 wheel rotations as a single wheel rotation, which will trick it into interpreting the...

    How accurate are distances on e bikes

    With my wheel diameter set to 29" (actual is 28.8"), my speedometer and odometer are approximately 97% accurate compared to a GPS speed app on my tablet and also my phone. For the most accurate wheel diameter selection, you need to measure your rear tire's actual circumference in inches, then...

    Full face helmet for ebike 20-30 mph speed

    I'm a bit late to the conversation, I got a cheap helmet for free when I purchased my used dual sport motorbike. I liked the looks of it much better than typical bicycle helmets, so I use it whenever I ride my e-bike. The seller said he ordered it from Amazon for $100. It is an AHP XZ 368, Matte...

    Bafang DPC-18 Ebike Display Settings

    I'm extremely late to the conversation, but the DPC-18 with Eco/Sport modes 0-5 correspond to the Bafang programming software assist levels 0-9 as follows: Eco 0-5 = Software Basic page assist levels 0, 1, 3, 5, 7, 9 Sport 0-5 = 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 9

    Does changing the Display settings

    Sorry I'm late to this conversation, you're controller programming settings or firmware must be what's preventing you from changing the wheel diameter from the display settings. Whenever you are able to access the programming software and change the wheel diameter, the most accurate selection is...

    Ultra Tuning: Decoding the Torque Tab's SPD Table

    I understand what you're saying, I just thought I might as well eliminate any unnecessary variables, whether or not they will have any effect on the torque spd40 testing. When you did your SPDxx tests, what was your display speed limit set to? Did spd40 correspond to approximately 40% of the...

    Ultra Tuning: Decoding the Pedal Assist Tab

    I agree that most of the PAS settings would be overridden by the similar torque tab settings, and any cadence assist should be eliminated when all basic tab assist levels speed % are set to 100; however, when I changed my PAS start current to 1, current decay to 1 and keep current to 1, it...

    Ultra Tuning: Decoding the Pedal Assist Tab

    From what I've read previously, I thought the "slow start mode" was the ramp rate from zero current to the "start current" value. This diagram seems more likely though, otherwise there would be no setting to control the ramp rate from "start current" to the max current based on the assist level...

    Ultra Tuning: Decoding the Torque Tab's SPD Table

    The RPM's aren't a necessary value, I was just wracking my brain after I measured the true wheel circumference of my 3" x 27.5" tires, and I thought my math was off. I thought I was doing something wrong, wondering how 10 revolutions of my wheels (approx. 2300cm) x 60min/hour wouldn't add up to...

    Recommendations anyone? Offroad Mountain e bike

    Take a look at Biktrix .ca, keep an eye out for sales. I got the Juggernaut Ultra FS Pro 3 for $3300 Canadian during their Easter sale. I nearly purchased a GasGas ECA2 because they were $2000 cheaper at the time. I had narrowed my choices between the GasGas ECA2, Eunorau Specter-S 2.0, Rize RX...

    Tips on Protecting Your Electric Bike

    While waiting for my Abus Granit X-Plus 540 300mm u-lock, I found a fairly simple and cheap way to secure my e-bike for short stops. I used 2 Master firearm trigger locks, one through each brake rotor with a cable lock secured by each and routed through the wheels, frame and locking post...

    Hello everyone, I'm new to e-bikes and I appreciate all the shared knowledge available here.

    There was a noticeable improvement installing larger rotors on only the front wheel, after proper bed in. 4 piston calipers are definitely on my wish list, especially before I plan any high speed off road downhill trails.

    Ultra Tuning: Decoding the Torque Tab's SPD Table

    Sorry, I'm late to the conversation, I am impressed at your pursuit of what defines the SPDxx ranges. I believe your conversion from km/h to wheel RPM is not correct. It seems as though you've divided the value by 3.14159, which isn't necessary. If your wheel diameter is 28", 28 x 2.54 =71.12cm...

    Hello everyone, I'm new to e-bikes and I appreciate all the shared knowledge available here.

    I recently purchased a Biktrix Juggernaut Ultra FS Pro 3 17" medium frame, brushed aluminum finish with 3" x 27.5" tires, offroad use, no speed limit, during their Easter sale for $3299 Canadian. I added the range extender battery for $649 because I know I'll likely use the highest assist level...
