    Need help with battery diagnosis and repair

    Hi All, So I rode to work and plugged in my battery but it didn't charge. I ended up riding home the old fashioned way...ughh! I would really like to get my bike up and running again now that the weather is showing signs of improvement. Unfortunately, I'm not very electrically technical...

    Buying a Hub Motor in Beijing

    I have the opportunity to go to Beijing soon on a business trip. My plan was to pick up a C-lyte 530x while I was there for cheap. I just found out they ONLY sell wholesale to other countries and you can't just walk into the Crystalyte factory and pick up a motor from the assembly line. I'm...

    How can I correct the Vibrate/Buzz in CLyte Hub?

    Hi All, I haven't posted for weeks. I've been riding my 408 rear hub like crazy and it now has almost 1700 miles on it. I've noticed a buzz/vibration from the hub has been increasing over the past month. I've searched the forum for threads on this topic but didn't find much. Here is what...

    Stainless Steel Torque Arms - $12.50ea

    After riding 725 miles without any torque arms (against the advice of many on the forum :oops: ) I figured it was time to get a torque arm or 2 for my rear hub. Between my lack of metal fabrication skills/tools and limited budget, my options were limited. I read that mn_aerorider1 I bought a...

    Things I learned about ebiking AFTER my first project

    I am still fairly new to ebiking. I test rode an ebike for about 10 mins then decided to convert my old mountain bike. Other than the folks on this forum, I don't know any ebikers. Everything I know came from reading the endless-sphere forums in my spare time. Somethings, however, I learned...

    Extra Connector from C-lyte hub?

    OK - apologies for such a newbie question but what is this extra connector coming out of my C-lyte hub for? Nothing I have connects to it and the bike runs fine without it but I haven't a clue what it is for. :oops:

    Rear Motor hub - how tight is too tight?

    So I'm building my first ebike using my old CroMo steel Mtn bike. My 408 rear arrived in the mail today and I was so excited to start the assembly process. When I went to slide the rear wheel into place - and dang - it was beyond tight. I gently pryed and spread out my rear triangle and I...

    Freewheel or Cassette?

    I'm almost embarrassed to ask this question as I am afraid the answer will be blatantly obvious to many of you. :oops: I ordered a rear C-lyte 408 and declined also purchasing the optional freewheel thinking I'd use my current one. Then, i got to wondering if mine was actually a freewheel or...

    Schwinn Continental 2008 (women's) [Pics]

    I walked into Performance bikes today in Redmond, WA and I saw the rare Schwinn Continental! They *do* exist! They had a men's version but there was already something wrong with the throttle and it was waiting for the new part from Schwinn. Here are some pics to give you a closer look from...

    What to look for in a bike frame

    I'm starting from scratch building my first electric bike. I've read many threads on batteries and motors but I need advice on buying a standard mountain bike to build upon. I have a 16 mile commute with mostly flat but includes one substantial hill. I don't mind pedalling - I'm looking for...
