    Hole was in bottom bracket when I bought bike.

    I appreciate your help, thank you. It was a weekend when I saw the hole and endless sphere was the only way I knew to try to find out what it was. This morning, I received an explanation from the seller and the issue is solved. Thanks again.

    Hole was in bottom bracket when I bought bike.

    I bought this bike 2 months ago and the torque sensor has failed twice and been replaced under warranty each time. I thought this hole might have something to do with the torque sensor failures but this is a copy and paste of the response I received from the company: Rize Bikes (Rize Bikes)...

    Hole was in bottom bracket when I bought bike.

    This hole was in my bottom bracket when I bought the bike. Does anyone have any idea what might have caused it?

    When to charge Lithium battery.

    This is an interesting topic which I asked Justin about when I met him at last year's EV Show. Justin told me there is nothing wrong with completely discharging a battery; the damage is caused by charging it too much. Justin recommends charging the battery to 80% and using it up completely until...

    New "Flat-Less" Schwalbe Marathon Plus Tyres for 2014

    I now have 17,500 miles on these tires which is 28,000 kilometres. They have never had a puncture and there is still lots of tread left. Bill

    Help with deciding on E bike

    The 350 watt motor has 40 Nm of torque. Being stuck in high gear at a stop is the only time I resort to using the throttle. I have tested the nu vinci and I prefer my rapid fire derailleur shifters. I could not get used to the long twist travel needed to shift gear ratios.

    Aerodynamics

    I cannot express how disappointed and frustrated I am with this forum. I discover something interesting and tell people about it so that they can try it and give me their feedback. But all people want to do is discredit me as if I am trying to cheat them or get money out of them. I GIVE UP

    Aerodynamics

    36 volts, 8.8 amp hours. 217 kilometres at 18 kph. I am skeptical of my own figures. That is why I want more people to try them. Bill

    Aerodynamics

    This all started for me when I wanted to improve the aerodynamics of my bike with minimal discomfort. Aero bars were my first choice but they involved an uncomfortable/hard to control position . I found the null winds site and tried my own version of it because it was the simplest looking...

    Aerodynamics

    Whenever I look at the cost of aero wheels the appearance of my duct tape improves. My 1.75 Schwalbe Marathons are E-Bike rated and I wouldn't give them up for anything. I have ridden 16,000 miles on them in a year and a half and they still have lots of tread left. I think they might have a...

    Epik Whistler

    I am the tester for the 450 watt motor and I have the only one on my Whistler. There is some unknown delay in getting the production motor sent over here. The staff have not given me any information even though I am supposed to get the first one when they arrive. The Banff was the first test...

    Aerodynamics

    Everything is the same as it was before I installed the fairings; that is why I notice improvement with such certainty. I ride the same route 2 or 3 times each day at the same times, speeds, terrain, weather conditions. I know the route so well that I can even detect different bumps in the road...

    Aerodynamics

    I continue to see at least a 20% improvement in battery range everytime I test this. Bill https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-xfp1/t31.0-8/10329744_649790328447932_1839114540391792081_o.jpg

    New "Flat-Less" Schwalbe Marathon Plus Tyres for 2014

    I would consider my tires worn out when there is no tread left. I now have 14,200 miles on my tires and the tread is just beginning to show signs of wear. I phoned the Schwalbe North American Distributor in Washington State and had a long conversation about tire quality. They said they have...
