I keep looking at motors with different power ratings and I can't help but wonder - are they all actually almost the same motors with different labels and just minor differences? For example Tongsheng TSDZTB... We can choose between 250W, 350W, 500W and 750W. I am guessing controllers must be...

We are not a wealthy family. In fact our income is probably well below poverty line, but somehow my kids always have best bikes and best scooters in school. When I pick children from school, I stand on a side, don't socialize. My wife on contrary, she always befriends other parents, especially...

I have been thinking recently and come to a conclusion that my life would be so much better if I was able to take a camping chair on my cycling trips. I travel very often with my kids and it means we stop in random places and I have to spend hours sitting on rocks, logs, grass, benches in full...

Hi guys, Yesterday I have received a Yose front wheel kit. Problem is battery arrived completely flat. I put it on charge for few hours yesterday. I installed the wheel and thought before I start drilling through frame it would be good to check if it all works. I connected wheel, battery, LCD...

Hi, I would like to convert my wife's Carrera Hellcat to ebike to give her this very much needed ompf during our family rides. I am reading about ebikes and conversions for quite a while and I started to run in circles. I think it is time to order components and try to put it together. I...

Hello I have been reading your forum for quite a while now and I think it is time to introduce myself. My friends call me Az and I live in Plymouth. My long war with family to convince them to enjoy cycling is now over. Last battle won was with my wife and her attitude towards cycling changed...
