    Cyclist fights off gang of robbers trying to steal his e-bike

    You need 2x @guerney 1 x for practice to learn how it works, range strength, spread etc.. so you can aim and hit with confidence if/when needed rather than fumble n miss.

    Help! Pendleton Somerby Ebike - battery casing has disintergrated around the screws

    The state of the battery case makes me wonder if the battery is loosing connection when bumped about, this may be evident if the battery connections show any spark or arcing damage?? and would result in post bump cut outs, similar issues in the past have been resolved with shims and wedges to...

    Help! Pendleton Somerby Ebike - battery casing has disintergrated around the screws

    Speed bumps and some road conditions when you come across them at 15mph can be very shocking and could be the reason behind your battery case damage and the cut outs for sure. the phantom rubbing and a short trip resulting in jelly legs however might be a different mechanical issue with the...

    Is it me or the bike..?!

    Perhaps, my direct experience is with cadence sensors , hope i wasn't misleading, or shooting too wide.. Also in my ignorance i missed the fact OP has a mid drive not hub.. whoops!! However sensor/bike response should be noticeably different between levels and on hills Mrs OP may have the start...

    Is it me or the bike..?!

    However, almost forgot to add.. IF the difference between levelse of assistance selected at the handlebar interface is not vast(from one end to other) or noticale when stepping up/down, your torque sensor may be faulty. Even with a torque sensor with the highest level of assistance and the...

    Is it me or the bike..?!

    more expensive and sophisticated bikes can have torque sensors for the motors which let the control systems provide assistance depending on the input from the pedals, while cheaper systems tend to use simple cadence sensors that just detect the pedals moving around, to engage assistance. you...

    Cyclist fights off gang of robbers trying to steal his e-bike

    I must be a 'wrong un' when i see the pics of gangs mugging an ebike like above i see an opportunity for a free upgrade as at least one of the muggers is ridding something more expensive.. my dlock would be round that wheel faster than they could notice.. Yes granted if in the actual...

    Bezoir XF200

    Google shows me links to bikes with 1000w motors??? can you provide links to the dealer and bike you bought? If the dealer is a UK bricks and mortar business you should be OK.. Many bikes sold internationally have a EU/UK model or variant which is often legal some can be iffy, and some...

    "Gouach Infinite Battery, The Only E-Bike Battery You'll Ever Need"

    I didn't pay the dollar for access to the kickstarter or a reserved offer place if/when it opens? but the ad page suggests both 36 and 48v versions will be (are?) available.. The $330 price tag would relate to the 36v and 48 would be higher but my reading of the ad suggests the offer is not...

    "Gouach Infinite Battery, The Only E-Bike Battery You'll Ever Need"

    The above link https://get.gouach.com/ takes you to an ad page for the promo but the 'reserve an invite' links which suggest access to the kickstarter offer takes you to a $1 via CC to secure your offer place page which raised my eyebrows..

    "Gouach Infinite Battery, The Only E-Bike Battery You'll Ever Need"

    Swiftly problem

    one of these?? #1 check the battery voltage, after fully charging. #2 ensure all cables are intact and fully connected, #3 and ensure battery contacts are clean and make a good connection when the battery is slid home. #4 check the crank axle for a magnetic disk and ensure its aligned...

    conversion kit

    Is an e-trike a good idea, I have only had very limited experience with rigid frame trikes, but the outstanding memory is how BAD it was at cornering.. If determined i would consider investing in a kt brand controller so you can not only configure the bike to run without the need for pas input...
