Looking for hands on help getting my kit e-bike up and running. I'm older than dirt and really don't want to learn new skills. Will gladly pay someone in my vicinity to install a new battery for me.

@ wesnewell - My controller is 36V 20 amps.

My thought exactly, Syonyk. I'll keep the battery low in the frame but I just couldn't see how an extra 6 lbs would make a bit of difference.

Hey, Dogman! I remember you from years ago. Good to see you're still here. I went ahead and ordered the Ping 36V 15amp and am pretty excited now. Way back about the time I bought the Schwinn and the motor kit, my wife became very ill and medical bills prevented a battery purchase until now. I...

Thanks for the source info, dnmun. Much appreciated.

I have a 26" Schwinn Beach Cruiser with a 750 watt Aotema front wheel hub motor. I'm an old dude, in no hurry and weigh 240 lbs. I'd like to peddle as little as possible and hope to have at least a 10 mile range. Where I live is flat as a pancake so hills aren't a problem. Finances ARE a...

John Williams, "Shadow Stats" shows the actual unemployment rate at 19.6%. This is based on how the rate was computed pre - Reagan. Today's govt figures are total BS.

WOW! I gotta say I'm really impressed by the quality of the information in this forum :D You all have given me much to think about and a lot more knowledge than I had yesterday. Looks like I'll have to save a few more bucks to get the ride I want but that's a lot better than spending a few...

Hey! Thanks to all for the info so far. Especially good to know about the poor handling of a trike as I was leaning that direction. I have an Atlas trike that's built for hauling loads in a warehouse but I think a bike is probably the best choice. Got an older Trek 18 speed but would rather use...

New to the forum and dumb as a stump. After 50+ years of cigarette smoking I'd like to pedal less, a whole lot less. Been lurking here for a while and reading the kit ads on e-bay and am still confused. I'd like to buy a hub motor kit and have some questions. What size? I weigh 240 lbs and want...
