eBike named Cyclops

As of now I have put 200 kms on my MOAR electric Fat bike (model 24/7) and its a love/hate relationship.

I love all the features and the cost of $2000 CAN to get it to my door. I hated having to wait for what felt like forever! ( 2+ years when it was supposed to be a year )

I loved getting the bike 2 days before Christmas as a huge TV box left on my doorstep. I hated the lack of shipping notification and no communication on what stage the project was at.

I loved how simple it was to put together but hated having to wait an extra month for the battery to show up.

I loved riding it for the first time on a +10c day in the middle of winter. I hated the next morning when I tried to commute to work and promptly hit the ground 4 times in 1km because all the melting, turned to solid, slick ice. Those tires are not studded and are useless on ice. I broke the rear view mirror off but luckily no bones broke.

I loved the power and the speed when it was working. I hated having the power cut-out in an ever increasing rate. It started at once in a trip ( 20 km) and got as bad as every minute! I did manage to fix it, more on that later.

I loved the horn but hated having the wires pop off until I changed how it was connected.

I loved the lights but hate how only one works now.

Its a beast of a bike at 75 lbs and only has one light.
That's why I call her a Cyclops.
 
Welcome to the site.
I ride about 2000 miles a year including down to 0 deg F, but never on ice. December I lay in extra non-perishable groceries for those days I have to ride the bus or walk. I don't operate a car anymore.
My bike came as Pluto with no lights at all, but I bought a couple. flashing red on the rear, flashing white on the front.
