In one month, I am planning to buy an electric bike in Paris and bring it back to the US. Based on what is written here about a restriction of 250 watts, I cannot go forwards, since I live in san francisco where our hills require multi gears and larger motors for electric bikes. Is there a way...

I am considering buying a Prodeco G Mariner 7 folding electric with 38v 9ah battery, 300w motor located in front hub. I have seen comments that this configuration creates shudder/judder. My two (now stolen) previous bikes had rear motors and I liked them. Please help me to decide since...

To all of my fellow ebikers, thanks so much for helping me with my wobble problem. Indeed, the most obvious explanation was a bent rear wheel, loose spokes and a bump in the tyre (in deference to my British fellow travelers-I did not spell it "tire"-so many things in my bonnet er brain...Happy...

I have a 36v 10ah lithium ion battery made by psylium (sic). Currie Technologies in Southern California has stated unequivocally that the replacement cost is $700. What is really bad is that apparently psylium no longer makes this, has subcontracted it to some other producer, but there is still...

The wobble developed suddenly, but not related to going fast. The wobble is serious enough to make riding dangerous. The bike wobbles whether or not I am peddling.The bicycle store mechanic said he tightened everything, focusing on the front end, but failed to stop the wobble. I rotated the...

unrelated to this post, but related to understanding lithium batteries I am planning a trip on Southwest airlines in the US. They inform me that if my lithium 36v 9ah battery has more than 25grams (grains?) of lithium, I may not bring it as carryon or even as checked baggage. My bike is an...

Thanks Well so much for the internet and spreading confusing misinformation. I did find some info. on the Via Enlightened bike and it does seem very promising. However, when I sent an email to Meyers the selling company (somehow related to Currie), asking about warranties, no response as of...

I read on the internet about a new folding eZee model, the Cando, which has six gears but a smaller battery, 24 v 10 ah (am not certain about this) than its cousin (?) the eZee Quando II. I'd like to hear from the eZee folks about how this bike compares to the Q and the Quando II. Anyone else...

I need the pedelectric community to advise: opportunity to purchase barely used 8 year old Giant Lafree (with new batteries)...this model uses two lead acid batteries, has three modes of gear motor engagement, but I have not been able to identify the actual model number other than words: version...

Second the notion: please reveal brand name/supplier :confused:

Calling all electropeds, if you have direct knowledge and/or experience with this Chinese rechargable battery, please respond. While you may know the name under a slightly different spelling, Wentz manufacturing company uses this battery (36v 12ah) for their "King Charles" model. I am...

correction to above I found the bike listed on Ebay, not Amazon..sorry
