The first thought into my head when I read the first post was "bad pack." Have you tried using Normal mode and not Sport? If that seems to solve the issue, then you have a weak pack. If it doesn't then the pack is defective. I wasn't expecting to get Zero Motorcycle quality And yet you did! I bought...

How are the ebikes in the OP both stolen and "their" ebikes...?

I don't know the exact composition of the battery, but you obviously filtered out one or more of the electrolyte components, along with any dirt that was there. If I were to try anything, it would be to drain the electrolyte again, and try to find a new bottle of replacement electrolyte for a new ba...

You removed much or most of the electrolyte. That was not a good idea, as you have found.

I didn't mind his riding, id rather have a person blow by me than have a clueless wonder behind a wheel that bought their licence and shouldn't be driving, in front of me. if that guy crashs and burns itll probably be that clueless driver that gets him. let natural selection happen and if that driv...

Nice. A couple of comments: * If the kit was originally intended for lead acid batteries, then the battery level lights will work a little differently. You'll still be able to use them, but when you start to see the red light under anything but maximum load, you want to stoop soon and recharge. Don'...

The Volt was never intended for production either. It was, in fact, a Camaro show car with a golf cart drivetrain. But public pressure got the car built anyway, and I suspect that if enough people get to drive the Mustang Lithium it too will be produced...

Gee, I wonder what is going to break a lot on that bike...?


































Hint: it's the front half fork. Probably in not just one place, but two.

I think the Model 3 is a lot more fussy about charge adaptors than the S and X. Guy here in Perth has been struggling with his 3 on the Circontrol Trio chargers. About 50% success. Got a bit of a story today from a local with a 2015 leaf. IN 2014/2015 he said someone from Japan came and put all the...

I don't know about that specific controller, but when there is a PAS and a throttle, they almost always are used together, with the throttle overriding the PAS.

It is dangerous exactly because it can startle other motorists into swerving. This really shouldn't have to be explained. It sounds like you're used to the extremely low standard of skill typical of third world failed states like african warzones or the USA. If you were the kind of person to swerve...

So if this is true for cars, I shudder to think how much more statistically dangerous it is to cycle while listening to music, an audio book, or anything else, rather than simply focusing on the environment. There is a fairly significant difference between listening to an audiobook and playing a li...

Most of the lane splitting I saw in the video was done properly, as in he was going between occupied lanes. The vehicles in that case have no lane to change into, because there's already a vehicle there. It doesn't look safe at a glance but in reality there's little danger of having a vehicle chang...

Everyone knows the early Leafs (pre 2015 ?) were a battery time bomb, In North America it was batteries built before April of 2013 (dubbed "Canary packs" by me) that degraded quickly. The old, bad chemistry was used for the first three months of the 2013+ Leaf "1.5" build as well, so many early 201...

Next light up in their range is up to 60v, 150 lux, and with beam cutoff but expensive (although with deals can find down to €90 sometimes): https://www.bumm.de/en/products/e-bike-beleuchtung/parent/164/produkt/164r60ts7-01.html? <Sigh> and that one is essentially a spot light. Oh well, thanks for ...

Can anyone link a good light that will work well on 48-54 volts, has a high and low beam, and a handlebar-mount switch for both power and beam? 8v to 48V , high low switch , 80 / 120 LUX , 25 K/ph ? https://www.bumm.de/en/products/e-bike-beleuchtung/parent/168/produkt/168ru65-01.html? That looks gr...

So we really need batteries that are more temperature independent rather than trying to temperature manage batteries 100% of the time. Nissan may be ahead of their time, but eventually all electric car batteries need to get there. Heh! Nissan producing batteries that they are willing to cook, and t...

In that price range I'd get a Ping Pack, instead. I have two of them still going strong, one from 2014 before Ping was bought up, and one from 2015, after but still supervised by Mr. Ping.

I use a single Bluetooth speaker on a silicone band attached to the right bar. With the volume moderate it doesn't mask road sounds. The Amazon Basics BT speaker is big and has a good sound. I use a $10 CVS BT speaker on my folder, and it's ok but the sound is only good if I use my EQ app with it.

The dangerous, stupid lane changes alone (and I don't see a mirror or signs that he's even looking first) make him a dangerous idiot.

I'm looking to convert my increasingly loud Magnum Metro with "Das Kit" geared hubmotor to a 750-1000 watt DD motor, while retaining the stock 48 volt battery. Aside from lacking a clock, the display that comes with the bike seems fine, so I'd be willing to keep it. I need a DD motor with more hill-...

I ran XP as long as I safely could. Windows 10 is a f#$king nightmare, and this is the LAST time I run Microsoft ANYTHING. Ever.

My opinion remains unchanged. I'll go to some flavor of Linux next.

The motor is actually stamped "Das Kit" so I don't know if it is a rebadged Bafang or not. All I know at this point is that Magnum (which I suspect is just an office in someone's house somewhere) is ignoring me after I posted the recording they asked for, won't even give me info to work on the bike ...

Here's a "manufacturer" (dealer of Chinese bikes) to avoid: Magnumbikes.com. I bought a Metro step-thru from one of their California dealers last Summer, and had it shipped to me, as there were no bikes in stock in the East. (I'll be doing a one year review of the bike soon.) This was my first geare...
