Well, it is more of a project than something that I would use everyday. I want to restore it's physical features as it was originally in 1973, but add the modern electric features. I may sell it when I'm done. Either way, will be easier if I don't have to get a vin number and register it...
I'm wondering... what if I did a combination of rear hub motor AND a mid drive? I could use the mid drive as a backup to make it easier to pedal if something went wrong with the hub motor. Does that sound like a good idea??? Or possibly a Rubee maybe...???
I've decided to dive into sort of big project. I just bought a 1973 Harley Davidson dirt bike frame. It's perfect for me. I have a 72v 2500w rear hub wheel with accessories. I think it would be a great conversion project. Only problem is I don't have a license (never gotten one, by choice) so I...
For the Stingray, I actually found a 52V 20Ah li-ion triangle battery with mounting bag that I could attach to the bike seat bar and the top bar, and, seeing that it already has a fat tire in the back, I know my hub will fit without modifications. And as far as brakes, Gigabyke sells every...
I've actually already been considering this option. I don't think this motor and controller are powerful enough for my scooter. I am planning on taking both off and replacing them. I was thinking of putting it on this...
Honestly I am thinking of pretty much taking everything off of this scooter and replacing it with something more powerful that can do a better job handling the weight. This is what I am considering replacing it with...
I like the idea of having a full range of possibilities. I'd probably...
Oh, I don't want the same battery, lol. I want a li-ion battery. They last way longer and weigh about a quarter of what the SLA battery does that came with the groove. Plus I want to upgrade to a 52v with higher amp hours...
So I know I'm fairly new to the ebike game... just got my Gigabyke Groove a month ago. I found many issues with it, such as how outrageously heavy it is, slow acceleration, and poor hill climbing ability. The third time I rode it, it actually just stopped working altogether after only about a...
Here is a link to the website that sells them...

And here is a picture of the controller up close...
I just pulled out the controller and inspected all of the wires. Nothing seemed to look or smell burnt. However, I did find a few wires that were not connected to anything. Just thought I'd ask if anyone knows what these are, if they should be connected to something, and if so where??? Here's a...
I opened it up and took pics. I think it's the throttle wire. I'm not going to pretend to know anything about wiring, especially since it's the first time I've gotten a look at this particular wiring. But it does appear that the connector is a bit melted. At first I thought it was some kind of...
I would have to say it is unlikely a battery issue. The battery is brand new and fully charged. Never been completely discharged. Has been charged twice. All electrical is working properly (headlight, tail light, and turn signals). My guess is that it's a wiring issue, but I'm not sure if it...
Now I have a much bigger problem. Today was only the third time I've ridden my bike and after about a mile it started skipping and the motor kept going in and out until it wouldn't throttle at all. I called customer service, but they were no help at all. Had me take pics of my break lines (which...
Yes, this is the video I watched already. He doesn't give very detailed info. The only helpful thing he gave as an alternative to cutting the wires was to use speaker wire to connect the two wires...
I'm sorry... did I ask my question incorrectly or something??? I've had 54 views but no responses. Or maybe not many people own a groove... I guess they are fairly new to the market... But if anyone has any information about the speed connector I would appreciate it. Also, I am trying to look...
