    My experience with Prodeco electric bike

    @Coch1025 If the photos are big, just resize them! Or easier, use a free photo hosting site, like http://min.us; no size limits, no account needed, just drag your file over and you'll get a link to share here. Am in the same boat as you, previous Prodeco bike (Phantom X2, now stolen) went...

    GPS+Alarm recommendations?

    Recently someone stole my much loved e-bike, cut through the heavy duty lock and made off with it and several other bikes at the same rack. Didn't have any GPS tracker or alarm on it and so recovery is pretty much impossible. For the new e-bike, have resolved myself to having both GPS tracking...

    New Prodeco X2 owner feedback

    Update on the original post: have yet to receive battery case replacement, apparently due to supply chain delays. Managed to secure the broken case with some bungie cord and it is now very solid; just a temporary solution until the updated case design arrives. Also, seems one of the hall...

    Prodeco Phantom X2

    No, haven't contacted Rob L. about this yet, only sent you a mail about it. Is Rob L. the main contact for warranty issues as well? (was one of the questions in the mail: whom to contact on warranty issues?) So he can send the thicker replacement battery shell? Think I missed Rob L. today (as...

    New Prodeco X2 owner feedback

    Cool, I didn't assume either way, just didn't make any sense when i read it :) It is true the DIY forums are more popular here, though am also glad a forum for pre-built bike reviews also exists, as it provides useful perspective to buyers & pure DIYers alike. I love building things myself...

    New Prodeco X2 owner feedback

    Thanks for your post but do you care to qualify why you think the X2 is for women / SOs only? Didn't make any sense to me :) I mean, sure the X2 is not a Stealth Bomber, but it doesn't try to be either. Apples & oranges.

    Prodeco Phantom X2

    Hi Rob, thanks for the detail reply. To be clear, most of my questions (reasons for contacting) were about accessories, as the website is scant on details. Have since received replies from Rob L. and he did an adequate job answering my questions & restoring confidence in Prodeco (though would...

    Ok, joining fellow ES'ers, providing my feedback on the Prodeco Phantom X2 for your reading pleasure ;) Background: Am replacing an off the shelf AOWA E-Bike (weighs 110lbs!) used for 1.5 years; was bought with the understanding the AOWA was locally produced, however, was just learning and came...

    Prodeco Phantom X2

    @Prodeco Yeah, not to beat a dead horse, but am also finding it difficult to contact Prodeco. My story: am picking up a Phantom X2 today (as it looks to be a great base to extend & build off of) and have some questions about warranty, registration, and accessories (info not covered by the...

    Prodeco Phantom X2

    @Rob Prodeco Thank you for the detailed information re: 48V. Decided not to wait until Nov. and just pick up a 36V this week, to upgrade later. Also, thank you for your sincere effort in being forthcoming with everyone; refreshing! (people are increasingly wise to the number of scoundrels in...

    Prodeco Phantom X2

    @Rob Prodeco 1) Precisely when can we buy the 48V model? If you cannot be precise, offer a date range? 2) How to modify your controllers for more speed? Thanks to be precise. Note: this is largely a DIY community, with a ton of precise technical expertise, so please understand we don't take...

    DIY build prep shopping list advice

    All useful advice; thanks you ES! Update on my end; am yet sourcing the base; wondering if I should go quality with some name brand frame like Electra, or if a $200 Mircagi would be just as good? @boppinbob Eh?

    The true sine-wave (vectored) controller & electronics set

    @Adaptto Any update on this sweet sweet controller? We're all 'champing at the bit' here :) Am sourcing my build at the moment and with CycleAnalyst3 is just around the corner, don't know how much longer I can wait! Also monochrome display is so 1988! i know full color costs more (in rubles &...

    DIY build prep shopping list advice

    @hjns That is very useful advice, and addresses my question perfectly (if not abruptly haha). @john7700 Glad to see we agree on the awesome :) And you make valid points on the weight / strength issue. Still on the fence about cruiser style or FS MTB, but there's more digging yet to do! In...

    DIY build prep shopping list advice

    John770, it's not a competition; I was asking about the science. To my knowledge, none of the great people here were threatened by my statement, as a matter of purpose (am I wrong about this?) To confirm, from your $0.02, the difference in weight between a steel cruiser and an aluminum framed...

    DIY build prep shopping list advice

    A quick update, likely going with either an Electra Straight 8, Firmstrong Rebel base, or Micargi Jaos 3... That cruiser-almost-chopper mix is so... Yes! Let's see... Crupper, Crosper, no. Hmmm Cropper? :)

    DIY build prep shopping list advice

    @dogMan My father (a retired NASA engineer) says that quality aluminum (like the 7005 aluminum used in Electra cruiser frames) should be more than sufficient. Is the weight gain from steel really necessary? Can go further-longer with a lighter bike...

    @mvly That's a beast! I plugged your specs into the simulator and the results are insane! :)

    @dogman That's very good advice; might spend more to get 40mph as you say, but won't be able to sustain it. Will aim for 30+ :)

    DIY build prep shopping list advice

    @mvly Thanks for the detailed and concise advice; lot of good info! Funny you mention Crystalyte; got notification of your reply while on the simulator plugging in values for a Clyte i saw on eBike.ca. Here is the output: (looks nice eh?) (oh and a few posts down in the thread, decided to...

    DIY build prep shopping list advice

    @spinningmagnets Thank you for the continued advice; excellent! And Nick's eTownie looks slick but has more of a BMX feel than a cruiser IMO; a great build just the same! Will likely pickup Lyen's 12FET; looks like a nice bit of kit and clearly he's in touch with our values :) And since i've...

    DIY build prep shopping list advice

    Those cruisers do look very nice... in fact, feel it coming together... YES, shall build a cruiser! But not a fruity one :P Maybe with a cool matte black / bat mobile - tumbler style... yes! :) Will likely pack the cells in the center frame (in lieu of taking over basket / rack), so will go...
