i want to get mid to high 30s (mph) on a tst r002 and want to upgrade the controller but i need to know the controller specs so i dont mess something up anyone know about it?

What would you say is the best place to ride your e-bike on a trail. I want to add more to my list. If you guys are interested in seeing my ride here’s a link https://youtu.be/-djtk4Rf3NI?is=VQIQCrBDpQ-bOVan

Does anyone have any leads on over pants? Preferably under $100. I bought these but they're just barely too small at the largest available size. https://a.co/d/04J57IzQ

I wanted to get something wind and rain resistant that I can take off easily without needing to go to the bathroom. Otherwise I end up having to layer up and sweat my butt off in those layers while working. Commute is down to 20°f for 10 miles one way.

Talon T767 ebike/dirtbike comes with a fardriver and this is my first time getting in here bit theres a seemingly extra 6prong coming out of the motor wires thats not plugged, this is my first time opening up the controller on this bike to change my rear tube. tis unimportant allinall but curious if any of yall could guide me to knowledge

Lowered the weight to 13 kilos, Selle Italia saddle, dropped the rattle too much mudguards, threw on some DTSwiss, and Panaracer GravelKings. I ride it to and from work so I needed it to be comfortable for me.

Legal: the ebike has to be truly an ebike according to the law.

Purpose: it should work more like a moped than like a bicycle.

Reason why: both attributes have advantages.

An example of a person who would benefit from such ebike: * myself:I have chronic fatigue health problems and can therefore not pedal serious amounts of watts for hours so regular bicycling wont get me from A to far B, but I also don't have a license so literally a moped is no option for me too.

What I need is a vehicle that is legally an ebike so that I dont need a license, but practically still a moped. Now my ebike has already a cadence sensor system which launches the bike forward with the slightest pedalforce and some people say that that makes it a moped but the battery is still very small. The battery is only less than 4kg big and a full charge gets me about 40km but sometimes I have to be places further than that, sometimes even more than double of that.

What I would benefit from is that the ebike has a huge battery. Like a 10kg battery, that would give me serious range and make it a reliable vehicle to go anywhere I wanna go!

And surely I'm not the only person who would benefit from that from because of the above mentioned reasons, right?

Right??? Why isnt there more market for this, atleast in the Netherlands?

Curious how everyone feels about faster ebike charging for 36V, 48V, and 52V batteries.

Most stock chargers seem to be around 2A–3A. If you wanted a faster e-bike charger, what charging current would you prefer?

• 4A
• 5A
• 6A

Would love to hear your thoughts or experiences!

I posted this in Amazon Prime thread and was expecting just some camaraderie but got a bunch of random hate instead go figure everyone gets their validation on Reddit by being smarter than or insulting somebody else

I literally just wanted to warn people about this new bike having dangerous manufacturer defects that caused a serious crash

Jasions literally only offered me $40 as compensation at first even though the bike was totaled then they raised it to $400 and then the full refund but with a paid shipping label that would cost hundreds of dollars to pay for

And then they tried to convince me to close my return request completely claiming they would refund me after. I did so I just decided to bring it to A to Z after that point and hopefully I'll be refunded in the next few days. The crash was like two and a half weeks ago so Jasions just been stalling it

Im rolling tg dice on whether this community will care, or just randomly hate cause its reddit? I was genuinely nterested in this bike cause the battery life easy insanity and man it was so good for the few days before incrashed. Scary ass crash though, i never imagined my steering fork just bending like a noodle while going 30mph and smashing the curb at 28ish mph

Other sub wanted pics for proof as if theres some incentiveto lie about an event like this? Weird ass fucking people man.. I'll just post

Ok folks. I haven't seen much on this and reviewers won't just spit it out. I have owned a discover 1+ and now discover 3. Very nice bikes for the money which is what attracted me. So, here is the punchline. Whether in cadence or torque mode, if you coast with assist on but not moving the pedals.... the bike rolls freely and with no noticeable drag...now turn off assistance. Big drag! And no it's not because the bike is heavy or my psychology is messed up. Lol. It's got to be motor drag. I see that velotric uses its own motors probably to offer a lower price point. I also see that high end brands use well known motor brands like bosch with clutches that completely disengage. (Just reading a much as I can on it). It seems that high end brands are $4k and up. This may seem like a trivial detail but it does bother me as I sometimes want to go without assist on. My tires are at 60psi. Very firm and just under the max pressure. So! I'm looking for validation on this and someone that may have technical expertise to verify this. I think ebike buyers should be aware of this before they buy. Of course if you always ride with assist on and always want assist then no issue. I think velotric "cheaped out" on this to offer a lower price point.

I am not sure where the access hole on the caliber is with this brand I know there is one in the lever on the handlebars but I need to hook up the syringe on the brake caliper it self but the front brake caliper and the rear brake caliper is the same brand just not to sure what screw is the access point

I am very very new to this market but not new to bikes at all. I’ve had a dozen bikes at this point in my life so I know what I’m looking for in terms of ride and feel. My problem is the Electrical part of this and how to manage to.

I am a 32 6’2’ 260ish male that is looking to make the commute going roughly 20 miles to my job and back. My budget is roughly 1000-1500 and I’m willing to spend that much because I really need something that’ll last me years. This is going to completely replace my car and that’s where my main indecision comes from.

Please tell me your experiences with Ebiking that distance 5/7 days of the week and maybe some recommendations on not just bikes but any tips really on what I need to know or do to make sure my purchase is solid but also thst I have the adequate knowledge to take care of the bike for as long as possible.

I live in South LA so it’s also hot most of the year which I know will factor into this.

Any and all suggestions and advice will be helpful, thank you!

I want a street-legal ebike, that i can just cruise on joy rides. I dont want to have some crazy ebike, but one that is nice looking, and around 1k usd. If the macfox has competitors with simmilair looks, and or better performance for a simmilair or cheaper price, please give me your personal opinions on a different bike you reccomend, or if the macfox is worth it.

Thinking about getting an e-bike for errands, groceries, shopping, getting around the neighborhood. Saw this cargo e-bike, the cd20. solid on paper but honestly might be way more bike than I need. Could use some advice.

Specs:

• Rear hub motor, 1500W peak / 1100W sustained, 110 N·m torque, rated for 30° slopes
• Top speed up to 33 MPH (unlockable)
• Dual battery, 48V 15.6Ah + 17.5Ah, 33.1Ah total, removable
• Range up to about 150 miles on lowest PAS, 60+ miles on throttle alone
• Max payload 550 lbs (~250 kg)
• 20" x 4.0" all-terrain fat tires
• Dual hydraulic disc brakes with motor cut-off sensors
• Around $1,499 to $1,999

Things I'm stuck on:

1. Seems heavy and bulky. Parking and getting it into an elevator sounds like a pain?
2. 550 lbs payload and 33 MPH feels like overkill for shopping. Am I right?
3. The dual battery range is way more than I'd ever need for errands. Just wasted money?
4. At this price, are there lighter, more city friendly options worth looking at instead?

Needs are simple. Carry a bit of stuff, ride comfortably, park easily. This bike looks capable, but I don't want to buy something that's overkill and ends up being a hassle.

Anyone ridden this or a similar cargo e-bike? Real world experiences would help. Thanks!

All the screws are out and I tried tapping it against the floor and I can’t get it out

The simplest way to clean up all of the regulation issues around e-bikes is to eliminate throttles on e-bikes. If it has a throttle, then it’s something else. A motorcycle, a scooter, a moped, I don’t know. But it’s not a bicycle.
Then e-bikes, with pedal assist only, could be regulated similarly to regular bicycles. And vehicles with throttles would have a separate set of regulations.
It is just absurd to me that kids-people are screaming around at 30+mph using a throttle and still want to be considered bicycles. They are not.
I’ve ridden bicycles, motorcycles and e-bikes throughout my life. This is the only thing that makes sense to me. All of the class 1-2-3 stuff and how fast it can go is stupid and unenforceable.
Things that require peddling are bicycles. Things that run off of a throttle are something else.

Hello,

I am trying to make my steer higher but don’t really know if it’s possible or how. I try to unscrew the top one but nothing happened. Is there something I do wrong? It’s a gazelle medeo t10 model from 2022

I wanted to share this with anyone else having issues with their T787 E-Bike.

After hours of searching online, I couldn't find any answers, including in the Talon Manual and on their website. I searched and searched, but still couldn't figure out how to use the passcode, change it, or connect the app to the bike. Hopefully this info helps others who are also struggling.

If you want to use the code instead of the NFC chip to start your bike

1. Press the Power Button

2. A series of lines will appear; use the power button to switch digit positions, and the up and down buttons to select your number. The factory default code is 6666. After you enter the last 6, press and hold the power button.

- Sadly, they do not have an option to change the passcode. The software engineer said they may add that feature of the future, but as of now, this ability does not exist.

If you want to connect the app to your phone, here is the app. This is the app to connect your phone to the bike. It's Chinese, so it's hard to find in the English App Store, and they don't mention it anywhere.

I'm starting to get really worn down by this issue I'm constantly having with my ebike. My spokes, on the rear wheel keeps snapping at regular intervals. This wheel was bought less than 1.000 kms ago, and it's already snapped a spoke today.

It has grown to be an expensive and deeply frustrating pattern for me over the years. I'll buy a wheel, ride it for 700-1000 kms, and than bam, a spoke snaps. I'll get that fixed, ride another 1000 kms... And it snaps again. Another 1000-2000 kms on top of that, and the wheel is replaced because the repairs of constantly replacing snapped spokes grows too expensive and costly.

Two years ago, the rear wheel was swapped from a 29" wheel, down to a 27,5" one, which did reduce the frequency of the snapping. But it didn't remove it. I've lost count of the number of wheels I've had on the bike throughout the 50.000 kms I've ridden it.

The ebike is my primary means of transport, meaning that every time I have to turn it in for repairs I'll be left without being able to get about. My nearest bike shop can fix the spokes on the spot, but it is still deeply annoying and at the moment I am already short enough financially than having my spokes snap every third week.

Are the spokes on ebikes really supposed to be this bad, and snap this often?

I need a bike that's street legal with pedals but still looks like a dirt bike, I've been looking at Yosma a bit but they're not street legal. If somebody can recommend one less that $2,000 that would be great.

Hi everyone.
So I’ve got this bike and I want to upgrade it to be a lot more powerful. I’m thinking about a 2000w 52v motor (kit with the rear wheel). Will it be powerful enough to start without pedalling? Do I need to look for a 3000w motor? I really want it to accelerate from zero like a motorbike…. Thanks for any advice!

I've been lurking here awhile planning to get myself an ebike and most of what's said is pretty discouraging. My budget is around $600, and I understand that buying a new bike that comes in under that is asking for fire and suffering. Used bikes are their own lesson in pain -- the FLX Babymaker Pro a friend is letting me try out for the weekend is too small, and I wind up with back and shoulder aches. None of the other used ebikes near me seem like they'll work better.

I do have the Raleigh SC30 pictured. It's heavy. It's slow. It's 30 years old. Alternatively I have a Specialized CrossRoads of about the same vintage, but I think the Raleigh is better for this project.

I'll be riding this around in Lawrence, Kansas. The longest round trip I plan on making is about 12 miles, but I may be called upon to do up to 30 miles in a day. I would be able to handle this on pure pedal power if I lived somewhere without hills, but Lawrence is not such a place. I don't imagine I'll ever be called upon to get up 13th street with its 10-12% grade but it'd be nice to know I could. But I never need to be going much faster than 20mph.

Can I make this happen? I'm just dizzied by all my various options.

I have a 28inch road bike that I use to commute every day.

What is the the cheapest possible DIY Ebike conversion kit that I can install?

It has to be EU legal, max 250w sustained power and 25km/h.
