throttle

My neighbor bought an electric trike that quickly developed problems, the wiring was bad with bare wires shorting and sparking. I fixed that the bike ran sometimes but not others, it turns out the switch on the controller has a low and probably insufficient watt rating and it stopped working...

First-time poster, future first-time owner! Looking for some advice on my first e-bike purchase: 1. I won't be commuting, but looking for a bike to enjoy around town, up and down the hilly roads of Atlanta. 2. As strange as this sounds (since it appears that most of the higher-quality ebikes...

I'm a bike noob and was just curious if there are ways to hack a throttle onto the bike at all? I find it much more easier to ride having that option.

I have a Haibike speed pedelec, which I love. Unfortunately, the knee injury that first prompted me to get an ebike has been acting up with increased frequency and duration. After a month of forgoing my bike for a bus, I can make it 80% of the way to work without pain, but the 20% seems to set...

Hi! I just got this used "Ivelo" e-bike. It's pedal assisted only, and I'm a bit disappointed as I expected it to have a full electrical mode/throttle.. Now I have opened it up and had a look at the controller to see if there might be a place for a throttle but doesn't seem like it... Is it...

My 2016 CC has always had a problem with broken rear spokes (like many people here, it seems), so the shop I bought it from offered to rebuild the wheel with new OEM spokes under warranty. The shop is a ferry ride away (I'm in BC), and I neglected to call ahead when my wife and I decided to...

Hello, I am new to this forum and hope you can assist. I just bought a new electric bike, the ejoe epik se 2018 model. The dealer told me to charge the battery every time i finish riding it optimize the battery cells. I am using it to commute to work, 16 miles round trip. After my morning...

I've been studying bikes for some time the past two years. I was one of those ones that scoffed at spending even a couple of thousand on electric bike let alone a normal bike. These days I've come to appreciate quality but also knowing how to make a dollar stretch even still. I'm torn in...

I am thinking of taking an A2B Alva+ from the US when I move back to Europe (not sure the final destination yet--Amsterdam, Brussels or Copenhagen). If it weren't for the throttle, the bike would qualify as a speed pedelec and require registration, insurance, etc. Would having a throttle make it...

I've read so many reviews I can't keep them straight! have a Promaster van that I've turned into a camper. The rig will be complete when I find an e-bike that I can get onto the rack by myself! I also want to use it for recreation, 10-20 mile rides (so I've ruled out folding bikes) and regular...

Found this on the Radrover Facebook group, from a fellow called Jim Nadeau. Could not be any easier or cheaper. I'll put a black one myself. Good old zip tie.

I found this to be of value and wanted to share it with you. You may have already seen this... In any event here is the link https://electricbikereport.com/electric-bike-throttle-pedal-assist-pedelec/

I'm curious how often those of you who've been e-biking for awhile use the throttle, assuming you've got both throttle and PAS? ... I get the impression riders use the throttle a lot in the beginning but, over time, get more and more used to pedal assist, using the throttle less and less. I'm...

I have a daymak em-1 I bought it used and had to drive it home 45 minutes in the rain the bike has dried, the battery's are fully charged but when I turn on the bike now the throttle goes for half a second then dosnt work but the bikes signals and dash still work, this is the weird thing. When...

This has happened more than three times so far: I'm off the bike and holding the bars and it suddenly goes full throttle! The first time it happened I just assumed I accidentally hit the throttle, but when it happened again I realized it was doing it on its own. I'm getting used to always...

Hello, I'm brand new to the e bike scene. I live in Wisconsin so, my riding season is rather short compared to those of you who live farther south. I'm around 5'10", 200#. I have a 2005 Diamondback Coil EX & need your input as to if this bike is worth building on. I'd use it for light woods...

Can a throttle kit be added to a Specialized or Haibike mountain bike? I'm not concerned about legality or warranty issues. I just want to know if there are kits out there and can these bikes accept them.

Excerpt from Utah Senate Bill 121 (proposed 2/1/2016, Spon. Todd Weiler) (13) "Electric assisted bicycle" means a bicycle with an electric 85 motor that: 86 (a)has a power output of not more than 1,000 watts; 87 [and] 88 (b)is not capable of: 89 (i) traveling at a speed of more...

Hey guys, I've been looking for an ebike now almost a month but didn't find anything suitable for me, and would like to ask for some advice... What I am looking for is a bike with: - 28 mph (possibly just on throttle) - at least 11 AH (and if it is possible 48 Volt) - a range of at least 25...
