    New Bike! 19 MILE COMMUTER

    You know, the stock steel chainring is not the right chainring for efficiently climbing mountains. If you do not have it geared right you really can't say anything for certain. Also I would not climb a mountain until I had properly broken in the battery, regardless of the cell makeup. Maybe...

    Luna ga 14 ah shark pack

    Etrike sounds like the only person being deceptive in this thread is you. Funny how you deflected my question and just keep repeating the same thing. Seems you didn't answer Eric's questions either.

    Luna ga 14 ah shark pack

    Everyone knows real world performance varies. Fact is you have to label capacity something. Are they to understate the capacity that according to the manufacturer it adds up to, in the offchance you get butthurt about real world performance? I don't see anything here that is "much less"...

    Luna ga 14 ah shark pack

    Whatever. You add that many cells from THE MANUFACTURER'S STATED CAPACITY together and that's what you get. You're trying to conflate real-world losses to mean Luna's deceptive, and that's just wrong.

    Luna ga 14 ah shark pack

    Interesting how some few people want vendors to understate pack specs to make up for these users' lack of accurate measuring equipment.

    Is there more I could be doing to avoid flats?

    Can't believe there's only like one realistic post about solid tires. The ONLY good argument I can find against the latest types with advanced foam polymers is this one: compared to pneumatic tires they do have about as much damping but do not have as much shock absorption from bit hits. And...

    Double Battery Chinese EBIKE

    Slightly better I guess. Integrating battery into the wheel of a production ebike still makes no sense though. This battery is basically the same voltage and capacity, and would probably fit right into the triangle. No need for adding rotating mass to the wheel, or extra wiring, or using a...

    Double Battery Chinese EBIKE

    Bad design choice from the factory. Unnecessarily adding weight into the wheel makes it slower. They could have designed a larger battery pack to fit into the triangle which would have been okay, though 350W on a fatbike is going to be disappointing either way. So it is added complexity for...

    Genesis v2100 battery compartment

    I am surprised there are not already CAD files somewhere you could use to simply 3D print a v2100 battery compartment.

    WHAT DOES $600 BUY?

    I'm not real good at math but aren't those lipo packs 22V? How does that equal 46V when you build the pack? And is there a way to change the LVC on those cheapo motor kits so it doesn't cut off at 46v, or 44v, or whatever it is?

    Genesis v2100 battery compartment

    I'm glad you found a frame you like but that hyperbole is unnecessary. The v2100 is one of the most popular frames for conversion and if it were not suitable we would know it by now. Sure it is mostly popular due to price and you should replace the moving parts but it is still a deal even after...

    Where can I find a XT-90 to Anderson adapter?

    I kinda figured the money I would pay for the tools is more than just paying someone else. But yeah I got no idea how much. Thanks for the links!

    Where can I find a XT-90 to Anderson adapter?

    I am looking for an adapter that is female xt90 (with spark adapter) to anderson (45amp).. I don't know if it counts as female or male, pic here. What do you say guys, any suggestions? I know I could do it myself, etc. but I am looking for an actual vendor with this as a product.

    What tools do I need to remove the BB from a V2100?

    Okay thanks guys I think I am starting to get an idea of what's going on. Not sure I understand this. I see nowhere in this cup where the teeth from the previously mentioned BB removal tool would grab onto, but I also see nothing that a regular wrench would grab onto either. Unless, do you...

    What tools do I need to remove the BB from a V2100?

    Thank you, so once I get the lockring off all the stuff inside will just slide out?

    What tools do I need to remove the BB from a V2100?

    It looks like there are different kinds of crank arm pullers, how do I know which one is right for me? I pull off the cover and I just see a bolt.

    What is the recommended spoke tension for an Alexrims DM24?

    That's what I have too! So far I am loving it, since I am new at wheelbuilding the feedback has been invaluable. And their web app with the visualizations has been a lot of fun to use, even my wife was a little impressed by that and lemme tell you she is not an easy woman to impress. Here's...

    What is the recommended spoke tension for an Alexrims DM24?

    So I got this ebike-specific rim for building since it seems to be popular among builders.. Got it laced up, trued, dished etc. Now I am looking for what the max tension it can take and do not see anything from the manufacturer, and when I use their contact form it fails to send with an error...

    HOW CAN E-BIKES PROLIFERATE

    Many of the suggestions here boil down to increasing the public's exposure to ebikes, whether through media, dealers or services. So how can we expand on this theme? Direct exposure like test rides, demo days, ebike expo, ebike rentals : How about ebike racetracks? There are places you can...

    Are electric bikes the wheels of the future

    I don't think it is fair to compare motorcycles to ebikes. Motorcycles require special licensing and putting an extra hurdle in front of people is enough to put many off, no matter how inconsequential the hurdle. For example there was a study done on how often people become organ donors when...
