Is it true that the Bosch engine is not recommended because of the zero possibility of repair and diagnosis of problems at home? It is known that problems will always arise and it is only a matter of time. Especially if you are talking about closed systems with CAN line. Bosch takes the L on right to repair for ebikes - YouTube My current Trek Bionx had a CAN line in the beginning and when the bike fell standing in the wind, the Bionx battery stopped working and I couldn't do anything and it was necessary to throw away the motor, battery, computer and buy a Chinese Bafang BBS02, which has bee ..read more

I got hit by a motorcycle recently and my front air shock valve broke among other things but mainly this. The company quoted me $699 for a replacement which I think is way to high 1/3 of the price of the bike, Just as much as edirtbikes that are triple the price. Any know if it’s possible to fix or use a different brand of forks? Thanks submitted by /u/Comet1O [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Setup is a G0F0 hub motor, 1000W bafang controller and Eggrider V2 Display. The seller initially gave me a 750W wheel with a 10pin 1000W connector (L1019), which worked well until it didn't. I received the replacement which is a 750W with 9pin connector (z916). Had to solder my 10pin one on so I could connect it to the controller, but now my power output went from 1000W to 500W, not just given by my eggrider but it is noticable. Feels and definitely sounds weaker. Initially the controller was set to 20A at 48V and giving out like 968W, now it's about 520W. So I increased to 25A and the output ..read more

Bought my son his first e bike and he loves it. He has autism so I watch him closely but he has more freedom and gets him outside. I purchased off Craigslist for $250! I test ride and it got up to 30 mph. 750w and is like brand new. Was this a good buy? submitted by /u/Massive-Face-7242 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

Debating if I should just build an ebike or buy one. I want something under $1000 I know most people say it's better to spend more on an ebike since the cheap ones aren't good-which is another reason why I'd want to build one. I don't have a car and have been riding my bike to work everyday and there's lots of hills in my area so my legs are sore damn near everyday. I just want something that'll really help me get up the hills and give my legs a break. I was considering buying the lectric xp lite but they don't offer returns which is low-key a red flag for me cuz what if something on the bike ..read more

I've been casually looking at e-bikes for a few years now and recently moved into a new place with actual bike storage so it's about time to pull the trigger. My main concern though is how to handle eventual maintenance and replacement of the electrical components of the bike. I have a short-ish list of e-bikes but only one has a physical presence near me (Rad). I've talked to some local bike shops and they can handle service on non-electrical components but would not be able to touch the electrical parts of a bike they did not sell. Unfortunately, the bikes available at these local stores ar ..read more

Hello, can anybody help me identify the source of the squeaking sound? I've removed the brake so it's just the hub spinning without power (like coasting). Sounds like it's coming from the hub. submitted by /u/Boring_Lettuce3917 [visit reddit] [comments ..read more

I haev 2 batteries and 2 chargers (2a and 3a) of the same brand and type. I've done a lot of testing and I have come to the conclusion that the batteries are fine, its the 2a charger that has an issue. If battery voltage > 40.9 and then I plug the charger in: Charger light turn green, indicating that the battery is fully charged. Charger doesn't heat up. Battery light acts as if battery not being charged If battery voltage < 40.8 and then I plug the charger in: It will start charging normally and all the way up to 42v If during charging voltage > 40.9 and I disconnect and reconnec ..read more

The bike, called the Xpress I believe ,seems solid. Torque sensor, hydraulic brakes, Internal gearing, bafang motor. And an extra 14aH battery. This is with a limited time$500 discount which I think might have run out on earth day but I hope not. I think this would be an amazing upgrade to my low low low end Hitway BK11M. Different format but after owning this folding 20" Hitway for about 6 mo I'm not so sure the foldability is a good trade off for the extra connections and quick connections that serve As potential failure points. Perhaps anyone have a recommendation on a sub $1000 shipped un ..read more
