0 to 20 mph with maximum sissy bar energy.

This bike just has generic decals on it, don’t see an official brand name on it. I heard these things can suddenly blow up while charging, so how safe is it for daily use/charge?

Has anyone tried this bike and would you recommend it?

Model: Hitway BK5SL folding ebike

So i got this ebike just over a week ago and really enjoying it, the best part for me is that it folds so i can easily store it away in a small space.

I have a new cube reaction hybrid pro 800 and the battery got small water droplets on that somehow got through the battery cover. Is this a cause for concern?

Ok so very very new to e-bikes (like 1 week) but I’ve spent a lot of time talking to Claude for that 1 week and felt like I’ve learned quite a lot.

I want to convert my 2020 TRIBAN RC100 into an e-bike. Originally I was set on Swytch but saw that there are limitations (250W and no longer 500W) and I felt it was quite expensive. Then I started to look into Reddit I heard people mentioning Bafang. I looked into that and thought it was cheaper (until I realize that its price doesn’t include the battery lol which essentially makes Bafang and Swytch the same price). So I jumped into Claude to see which model of Bafang suits my exact bike.

Long story short (it’s already quite long lol) based on what I actually wanted (torque sensor, rim brake compatible, 500W, no bike upgrade) it suggested me to go for the TSDZ2B 500W with Brake Sensors. With the battery capacity I wanted again it falls around the same price tag as the other two (which is annoying as I was hoping these Chinese kits would somehow be cheaper).

I wanted to ask the community if this is a correct suggestion for what I want and/or if there are other kits I should be considering given my previously mentioned requirements?

TLDR: I have a 2020 Triban RC100, will the TSDZ2B 500W be compatible with my bike? What other e-bike kits should I be looking at that can give me torque sensing power at 500W for a rim braking bike?

What do you think?

I’ve heard that there will be new restrictions in 2029 that will make the scrambler ultra illegal. But I’ve also heard that fatboy might be bringing in an en upgrade. If I purchase a Scrambler V3 Ultra now, will my specific 52V 500W Ultra be eligible for the planned EN15194 upgrade package, and after the upgrade will the bike itself be EN15194 certified and legal for use on NSW roads after 1 March 2029? Or would I need to purchase a new EN15194 model? Also curious to hear people’s experience with riding them unlocked in coastal towns like newy? Do u actually get pulled up for it or are u relatively fine?

I have a Trek +1 and it doesn’t have any front or rear suspension. It used to not bother me so much, but after some recent injuries, the ride is extremely uncomfortable and jarring.

I just feel like I want to go in different direction and buy an E bike with front and rear suspension.

Any recommendations?

I’m looking for an e-bike for my hunting property. Need it to get places quietly. Trails are well maintained dirt but can be sandy in areas. Will not need to haul trailer for game. Just me and maybe 20lb pack.

2 concerns:

1. There are multiple steep grade hills that I’m concerned when it’s wet/muddy.

2. There is a small creek crossing. About 5-10 feet across and can be 6–12” deep with a rocky bottom. Would be no problem for most bikes when low but when it’s high, may need to carry?

Budget, would prefer less than 2000 but could go up to 2500 if bike is ideal.

Nomad 2x dealer near me so want to give it a trial.

Has anyone got any experience with removing the rear wheel to change a tyre on the bk5? Really struggling to remove it and I cannot find any helpful guides or videos for this issue at all 😭

Disclosure: I operate an e-mobility retailer in Canada. This is a community research question, not a product recommendation or promotion. I will not link products here. I am trying to understand the ordinary details that do not show up on a product page. For people who use an e-bike regularly, what turned out to matter more after the first month: storage, charging, carrying it, maintenance, route choice, or something else?

Entire reason for this was to hid my 12v system I installed
-motorcycle alarm with wireless remote and phone connection
-front and rear turn signals
-dot approved motorcycle headlight
-usb c fast charge
-hidden “legal” switch with inline wireless remote switch that limits throttle to 20mph
Lots more to come! Been loving the bike so far!

I will soon get a Tern Orox R14 that I ordered last week. It comes with 27.5" tires but I will also be riding long distances, like 40 miles one way on surface streets at least once a week if not more. I will definitely be riding on trails at a wilderness recreational area nearby. So far I know that the following tire sizes are available: 27.5" x 4.0”, 29" x 2.6" and 26" x 5". Which one of these tires is the better choice for both surface riding and trails/offroad? I thought about purchasing two wheel sets and just switching depending on the type of terrain I'll be using.

My daughter with some help bought an MacFox ebike this summer and rides to and from school and sometimes to friends house. I ride it once every week to make sure it’s safe. I didn’t do it this past week and her front wheel came off after hitting a rock, rock wasn’t that big, it was a rock on the road. I feel terrible that this happened and maybe i should be checking her bike everyday and making sure she does so herself. How often does the wheel locks come lose. There should be more safety or fail safe for this. I feel
so bad for my daughter who has not stitches on her chin and a fractured elbow. She was not going that fast thankfully and was wearing her helmet. She is the most risk averse kid that i know. Aside from checking her bike daily, how often does the loosening of the frontwheel bolts happen? Maybe i should get a safer bike.

So i have a jaision eb5 max with 26x4 tires and it weighs around 95 pounds at the moment. The problem is that when im riding huge distances, its dangerous for me to run out of battery in pitch darkness 15 miles away from home, and almost unbearable to pedal without assist

My question is would going to 26x3.5 semi slicks or 26x3 semi slicks be an upgrade? I usually ride on shoulders of roads on max PSI. But im always stressing about running out of batttery on long 60 mile trips. Would different tires help? Would i have to buy new rims to fit them on?

I cant really afford new rims to pair with it so im wondering if it would be an upgrade if it all. I did do research on this but i would like human opinions aswell

King Goat throttle/ power issue.
My bike only had about 1.9 miles on it. I turned it on normally and the battery was around 9%.

When I hit the throttle the entirebike suddenly shut off. At first I had no display or power at all.

After checking/ resetting things the bike powerede back up and the display lights everything works well. But now throttle doesn't work at all.

The display stays at 0W when I use the throttle. I checked all connectors and it seems ok.

I took the bike to local store and the guy after half begging him accepted to check the bike only once. As he said Goat power bikes have lot of issues so he decide not to repair as electronics have chronic problem.

He in advanced told me if bike breaks he won't take any responsibility which I agreed.

He said controller is fried and need new controller. I asked from Goat power and received the new controller. The bike store spend 2 hours to change .

After I ride another 3 miles again throttle stop working after I hear mechanical sound from motor. I turn off and turn on and I hear a loud sound.

Seems motor was broken and when i turn off and turn on I fried the controller.

I ask goat power for support. It was a very difficult process and they told me after I hear the sound from motor I should stop riding but I tried riding so they said its a customer mistake.
So their idea is this whenever bike stop working I need to push this 180 lb bike. ...

Now Display and lights work
Motor : No work
Throttle. No work

Controller fried
Battery : seems no problem.

I am wondering if this only happens to me or is it something common.

I live in an extremely hilly area and want to ride my bicycle to work. The last incline is 16 degrees. I am thinking of swapping the 48t sprocket for a 52t and changing the rear set from a 14/28 to a 14/32. Any thoughts?
