    Recommendations for first ebike

    Hi there, just saw the post's about this venture. I've not long built up a 1000w bike using an old giant bike and a second hand Golden motor Magic Pie 3. This combo was excellent but the $300 ebay battery died very quickly. I had spoken to a vendor who recommended his 48v 10.6 a/h unit. Big...

    Cautionary tale about batteries

    Hi there ebikers. Want to share a story that happened to me this year. I own a hybrid 29er that I've chucked together with a second hand magic pie 3 unit I got off a bloke on ebay.

Not going to be the end of the world as for my round trip of 15km or so I pedal assist maybe 1km. Manage to get about 30km/h on...

    Settings advice magic pie 4, 36v, 1000w

    Hi, new arrival here on the forum. Have had a cheap Chinese 500w lead acid powered hub motor bike which got pinched early this year. Have not long bit the bullet and got a Magic Pie 4 second hand with little use. It's great to be back on the bike again but I'm a bit puzzled regarding settings...
