Post deleted???

[ElHegpah]

Recently I posted a short review of a bike I bought off Amazon. I made two edit changes after posting, so I know it existed. Shortly afterward, it was deleted.

I will assume you only want reviews of store-bought, brand-name bikes, if so, I am all done here. If this is not the case, an explanation might be useful.

Few stores in my area have stocked the same brand for more than a year or two, warranty parts not available, etc. A generic online bike seemed a better deal.

Have been well-served by both my first kit conversion and this second bike purchased online.

Just repost it and add a few sentences like... It's a Giant of a bike more than capable to Trek through the woods with ease making it just so Specialized for me

I've seen reviews here of off brand bikes. I don't know why EBR mods would worry about them.

But your posts, even this one, don't show up,

I've never seen censorship on this site concerning ebike reviews. Just post a new thread on the review.

In fact why not re post it HERE on this thread

I am perhaps THE most outspoken person here, I often do not hold my punches and I have never had a post removed

always nice to see that Kymrish is stil used. I've always wonderd if you Welshman could also read/speal Brezhoneg like our Frisians can read Gaelic?

Maybe it was just a glitch.

I have stopped vendors from selling bad product, been threatened, doxxed, and perma-banned for telling the truth, hundreds of posts deleted, put a really bad troll into a funny farm, questioned an admin mod on accepting a $25,000 bribe from the above vendor, had dozens of threads on diagnostics and repair removed, legal advice regarding consumer protection deleted, etc., etc.

Just don't feel like wasting any more time and effort.

Anybody know the story of the Xiongda 2-speed, and any bets on how long the post would stay up if I told it here?

I am searching posts under "your content", and still nothing shows up. Fascinating.

Any other place I should look?

Don't really need any musical accompaniment.

The search index is broken. Nothing after August 23rd shows up for anybody in "your content"

The fact that stuff stays broken for weeks/months at a time should tell you that the mods aren't scouring posts 24/7 so they can frantically delete reviews of POS Amazon ebikes.

Almost certainly a glitch. We don't have that kind of drama here — no need for it — and it'd be nice to keep it that way.

We see lots of posts and owner reviews about obscure and low-cost brands. If Admin intentionally deleted your post — extremely unlikely — it wasn't for that reason. However, they do delete blatant ads in discussion threads, and I'm all for it.

Looks like forum search hasn't indexed anything since August 25, 2025 or so. None of my many posts since that time show up in search or "your content", so inability to find your own recent posts through those means has no political implications.

Admin says they're working on the search issue as of a few days ago.

I know parts of the story, Originally championed by Bruce Teakle 10 years ago. If you read his blog both of his first two installs trashed the gears, but he really liked it. A tiny motor with extra low gear for hills? Who wouldn't want one? I did.

It was picked up by Luna Cycles. I almost bought one, having bought my BBS02B mid drive and several batteries there. However, they priced it pretty high, compared with buying direct from China, Then people bought them and too many bugs. Hard to coast while fighting the motor clutches? Had to be careful rolling the wheel backwards or it might strip out the gears?

Let's hear the full story!
