    Pedego Interceptor

    Hello all, Can anyone answer this question: Is it correct that if you turn the wheel while it is in the air, it will act like a generator, resulting in the lights turning on the bike's power indicator even if the battery is not connected? This would also occur if going down a steep hill with...

    Good Deal? Or Rip Off?

    Thank you jag, that's a really nice bike, very stealthy and looks very solid and it's great you are able to do so much with it - great job. I was hoping to get a reply from you in particular since you were the one that introduced the idea of upgrading my current bike - it had not occurred to me...

    Good Deal? Or Rip Off?

    Thanks for that feedback - that's true, it wasn't a very quality bike to start with and now after all this time and with the rust and the rest (it actually needs a new brake cable for the back as it is - that's why I stopped riding it 4 or 5 years ago. Agree, I'd not touch a seatpost rack ever -...

    Good Deal? Or Rip Off?

    Considering electrifying my old bike - it was cheap I know, only cost around $100 almost 10 years ago from Sears - it's only slightly rusted. Would put on a 48V 20Ah LiFeP04 pack for longevity. Need to find a rear rack that would fit it. Not sure where or what controller to get - also not sure...

    Question: Do you have any details on that Jeep bike? I have what could be an identical bike I was considering electrifying - I wasn't sure though how it would work out and if i could even find a rear rack for it. It'd be great to hear a bit more on it - I've also been considering whether to get...

    Good Deal? Or Rip Off?

    Elevation profile for my trip home: Are those the sorts of elevations most people on here are going 25mph up? The whole thing is about a 23 story climb over the course of it with some ups and downs. A local shop has a 48V 15Ah battery and 500W kit just in. I have two frames in the backyard...

    Good Deal? Or Rip Off?

    Perhaps - I don't use them a whole lot but they are regular squeaky vbrakes that seem to wear quite fast. I coast as much as I can, but the hills at the start of each trip require brakes as they involve steep drops w/ 90* turns w/ much traffic/barriers/lights. Open to anything i guess -...

    Good Deal? Or Rip Off?

    Thanks for your last reply, I didn't get a chance to read it as I was in a rush after checking out the bike and had to head to my next appointment so I just quickly put up my report. It's too bad, but I agree - after seeing it, it was a lousy very cheap bike. I was amazed it only went 21kph...

    Good Deal? Or Rip Off?

    Took a look at it - it is an MXUS motor. Went 21km/h average on straightaway. Very slow to accelerate. Very sluggish - gearing was way off, lots of noise and resistance - looked quite dirty, splashmarks, dust, battery box was scrapped quite a bit by the seat. The way the frog battery goes on...

    Good Deal? Or Rip Off?

    Thank you very much for the replies. Very true on all points. Even my old bike had a 100kg load cap with a 20kg supporting rear rack as standard. I will take a look and offer 600 or 650 as you have said and see what he says. The other bike I was looking at is...

    Good Deal? Or Rip Off?

    Will definitely try to take a good look at everything - I'll bring my voltmeter along and see if I can get a reading on the batt and as much info as possible on the rest of it. The guy was asking 900, I'm sure I can get 800 but I don't know how far down below that he'd go - but 700 might be...

    Good Deal? Or Rip Off?

    Thank you for your reply. Here's a pic I found online, I asked the seller and he said it matches what the bike actually is: Is it fair to say if I give it a ride and I can go 23-28kph on motor alone it's a 250W motor? That's my experience with my 250W bafang on the 20" - on level with no wind...

    Good Deal? Or Rip Off?

    Thanks - where is a good place to get those? I was looking at ebikes.ca and a couple of sketchy chinese websites so I don't know what's good. Is it Amped Bikes and Cell_Man as LI-ghtcycle suggested? The law here is 500w/32 kph max, but I'm careful and wouldn't overdo it - I'd be happy to get...

    Good Deal? Or Rip Off?

    Thanks a lot for your reply. - My old mountain bike from my high school days was left out in the backyard for a season without my knowledge and rusted out so currently this would be my only one. It's odd but the seller says he will use the money from the sale to buy a new mountain bike to do...

    Good Deal? Or Rip Off?

    I've been thinking about buying a new eBike. Old Bike: I've had a little folding 36V 250W one for about 14 months and it's worked ok but it doesn't quite have enough juice to go the full 25km I need and there are a fair number of hills along the way. I have to take the charger with me both...

    26" wheel vs 20" wheel review

    Thanks for this - I've only used a 18" or 20" eBike folders in the past - I took a 26" for a test drive on the weekend and was quite disappointed in the acceleration - it's good to know this is why. Thanks, Peter

    2010 Pedego Interceptor

    Great review, I read it all over and really appreciating the decision matrix - very well organized - thank you :). Thinking of buying one - they have it locally at a store with a markup - they don't actually have one in house and if I bought from them I don't think they'd ask for it to be...

    Hit a bump and motor no longer spins...

    Hi all, Thanks for all your replies :). I think I've found the problem - if I move the throttle wire, I can start the bike :p. I found this when coming home when after trying to fix the gearshift (can't go to last gear) it wouldn't start - I grabbed the cord about 5 cm down from the throttle...

    Are AirStream Bikes any good? (A Noob's First E-Bike Thread)

    I'm going to be over going across the Humber and western Waterfront trails myself in less than a week - looking forward to it :). I'm still on my 50km round trip commute till then tho. On the bike, it looks like you got one of the ones I was looking at all that time ago - I'm assuming you got...

    Hit a bump and motor no longer spins...

    Hmm, That's really interesting - thanks for signing up to post your reply JayF :). The one thing about that is, I don't think I have an On/Off switch for the controller on my bike - I have a key on the battery, but out of the battery only comes two cords, + and -, and I'm pretty sure they both...

    Hit a bump and motor no longer spins...

    Hi all, Thanks again for your suggestions - unfortunately the saga continues... We thought we had it licked, we found that: - The 4.69V was not getting through the red wire from the controller all the time to the throttle - The red wire had a ton of resistance (around 11 - not sure the scale...

    Hit a bump and motor no longer spins...

    Update: We tested all the connections, they all looked secure. One wire seemed a little loose, but it was making fine contact when connected. I decided it might be the throttle, so we took apart the handle bar grip, took off the gearshift and brake and the basket so we could get the cables...
