Thanks alot Doc, I really appreciate it. I got some reading to do but even if all I do is make this bike run reliably again stock ill be happy too. Changing the sprockets is interesting, I only need 55 mph max (88km) speed on the roads I travel. I guess regenerative breaking isn't as simple as...

After some prior emails and diagnostics with Zero tech support it was previously established I needed to replace the contactor. All other aspects of bike fine. 9k miles. I have the new contactor replacement. Currently: The front wheel is off. Battery, controller and charger are removed. I was...

I stayed away from this bike shaped object and keeping to the Bafang mid drives mostly for now. Very interesting discussions though.

No affiliation, I just thought this is pretty cool although pricey..... uses Nuvinci Harmony Wonder if anyone on here has tried one at a show http://www.ebikes-kit.com/impulse-ergo-nuvinci-harmony-p-13.html

This looks interesting http://evolvethebike.com/ Maybe a good candidate for a mid drive like Xing, Bafang or GNG vs removing dynamo on front and replace with hub motor and power Harmony off battery and adding a Schlumpf high speed drive ? At least front suspension option would been nice...

I would be very interested in a complete full kit to address the stock flaws I am planning to install on my Specialized Demo pro 8

In my search for ebike options (cheap, < 10 mile rides, no need for fast) for my wife I came upon this. Curious if anyone has had any experience with them. Figuring you get what you pay for =)...

I have a Schwinn Transit. It's a great old bike from the 1990s I picked up last year for like 20 or 30 dollars used Before making it an ebike I would upgrade the tubes/tires/brakes (such as with some Avids) just curious what sorta power this frame / fork can handle with torque arms etc...

I read that the Brammo empulse has water cooling. Also of course PC overclockers have used water cooling for years. Has anyone yet worked out a good way to water cool these ?
