    Can my ebike take another motor?

    It's a Li-ion battery, "the good ones". I do take care of it. Only once did I completely drain it (didn't plan my path well), and I always charge it as soon as I'm done riding. The bike originally came with 1.5" tires, which were replaced with 2.25" Schwalbe Big Ben tires, for their suspension...

    Can my ebike take another motor?

    Thanks. I guess I'll wait for the battery to die or something. How long do you think this generic 9ah battery will last? I rode about 1500 km with the bike so far...

    Can my ebike take another motor?

    Hi, I have this ebike: 36V, 250W motor. It does 31kmph on flat roads, peaks at 37kmph. Downhill it goes to 55kmph. I'd like it to do about 40-45 on flat roads, so I could fit more easily with traffic in the city (drivers aren't too patient around here). I read that you could add a second...

    Tires

    So I bought the Big Ben 2.15 tires. I should have them in two weeks. I'll have the wheels dished in the bike shop before I install the new tires.

    Tires

    Motorcycle tires? Lol. Guys, this bike does a constant 32-37 kmph on flat roads. That's not motorcycle speed. 55kmph is only during declines, and declines only last so far (and there are red lights that ruin the fun, too). I want to get the Big Ben tires because they have better grip when riding...

    Tires

    Hi, My ebike has 20 x 1.5" Kenda Kwest tires. I want to replace them with balloon tires, probably a Schwalbe Big Apple. The Schwalbe Big Apple has the "EBIKE READY 25" certification, which means it suits bikes that go as fast as 25kmph or so. They also have tires that are "EBIKE READY 50", and...

    Understanding certain LCD screen functions on my eBike

    Hi, My ebike has an LCD "computer". When I power it on, it shows a few icons that disappear immediately and I'd like to know what they do and how to activate them. Please take a look at the following photo (you can see the icons in the right upper hand corner): http://i58.tinypic.com/i2nbl5.jpg...

    Need more speed

    Is there a way to find out if my battery can put out 20 amps without buying and trying a 500w motor?

    Need more speed

    It's a rear hub motor. I might consider changing to a 500w 36v motor if it would allow a noticeable increase in speed. Would it?

    Need more speed

    I do pedal along at the highest gear and it barely adds another kmph. That's 8 gears btw. As for the battery, the retailer who sold me the ebike says its a Panasonic.

    Need more speed

    Hi, My 36v 250w bike does 31.8 kph, and slightly more downhill or with the help of some tail wind. Anyway, this makes it difficult to drive in the city because drivers always stick close to me or try to pass me or whatever. Anyway, it's dangerous. Can I get more speed (another 10 kmph will...

    Is it ok to unplug battery from charger before...

    So you're saying I shouldn't leave it fully charged for long? Is a day or two okay (I do that frequently)?

    Thanks guys, that's one less thing to worry about.

    Is it ok to unplug battery from charger before...

    Hi, Is it ok to unplug the battery from the charger before the charging is complete, or does it affect its longevity? My ebike has a li-ion battery. I charge as soon as I can and never completely drain it but I'm reluctant with charging during the day because I'm not sure if I'll need it in an...

    Battery bag for top tube

    Drilling into a $1500, two months old bike? No way. I did go to a shoemaker who stitched two wide velcros to the bag I had, and they hold the bag attached to the bike just fine, even at speeds over 35kmph. I really like how it turned out, both technically (the bike is more balanced now, and I...

    Battery bag for top tube

    I am asking about the spacing between the screws because, apparently, there are two holes under the top tube of my bike. Right now, there are cable holders attached to those holes, but maybe I can attach a battery mount there. Then again, I don't have a bottle battery... What I have is a...

    Battery bag for top tube

    There's no place to mount a bottle on my bike, and I don't have a bottle battery anyway. I just bought my bike 2 months ago so I'm stuck with this battery for the time being. Pannier bags don't help either. Melodious, how long is the space between the screen for that bottle battery mount? And...

    Battery bag for top tube

    I did, but no one uses a 20 inch bike. Not to mention mine doesn't have a triangle frame, so I can only use the top tube. I have a bag for the battery, I just need to secure it to the frame in a way that allows removing it when I lock the bike.

    Battery bag for top tube

    Hi, I have a 20" folding ebike. Originally, the battery was in a bag attached to the seatpost, but I'd like to attach it to the top tube of the bike but don't know how. The battery is 10.5x21x7 cm. I still have the bag it came in, in which it fits almost perfectly, but if I attach it with 2...

    Battery bag for top tube

    I already have a battery, I only need a case. Does anyone sell a bottle battery case? And if yes, how do I connect it to the battery (these batteries seem to have their own connectors built in).?

    Battery bag for top tube

    Hi, I bought my ebike two months ago. The battery is stored in a saddle bag, and the battery tore through the bag slightly, so it's only a matter of time before it just falls through (probably mid-drive). Since the motor is in the rear wheel, I want to place the battery on the top tube near...
