Second e-Bike

[RooneyRider]

I'm brand new here, but just got my second e-bike to replace the one that melted in the 2018 Malibu mountains wildfire that burned 1,000 homes. I have an 8.5 foot long Yuba cargo bike that I had a custom motor setup installed on. I have a technical question that I will post in the right place.

Welcome to EBR RooneyRider, I’m sorry for your loss, such a tragedy. I like the looks of your bike and it looks like you can carry quite a load. Good luck and ride safe.

Thanks Bigal. That Yuba has a 500 lb. capacity plus my 200 lb. self.

Congratulations on your new Yuba and welcome to EBR!

Welcome to the site.
Sorry about your losses. I converted a yuba bodaboda because we have ruts & potholes here. If there is water over them or I'm following a car at a light or stop sign, I can't miss them.

Hi - since you converted a Yuba as well, here's the tech question I posted on the site (maybe you know): "I just bought a Yuba cargo bike and had some local specialists here in L.A. add a 2000W motor so that it can really replace my car for the 10-mile roundtrip from home to grocery, drugstore and other stops. The pedal assist works great up to 17 MPH and then goes to mush because the motor is too powerful for the crank sprocket. I want to pedal at 25+ MPH to conserve battery juice, but can't. Can anyone tell me what size crank sprocket I need to get so that I can peddle assist at 20 - 30 MPH? Thanks!!" Any ideas, Indianajo?
