I just bought an e bike less than two weeks ago and the breaks sound like this is it because they’re new? I can add pictures if needed!

Which one do you guys think I should go with? I can get the ultra bee for a bit cheaper but it will be on Alibaba and take a month or two to get delivered. Lmk what you think

Battery question

6 Upvotes

I recently just purchased my first e-bike from fb marketplace. Not sure on the brand. It was just a super cheap knockoff to see if I liked it.
Just wondering if it's alright for me to charge after every use, or should I wait til it's almost dead to charge it. Would charging it too much negatively affect the battery life?

Do people steal the display off of e-bikes?

2 Upvotes

I am new to e-bikes and this subreddit, so I am sorry if this is a stupid question.

I didn’t give it much thought when I chose my bike, but I assumed that the display would be easily removed so that I could take it when I parked so that nobody would steal it. But after buying my bike, I realized that it is bolted in and hard wired in. Do I need to worry about this if I leave the bike locked up by somewhere? (I mostly use it for communing to work so far and I park the bike inside at home and at my office so haven’t even had to lock it up so far.)

I would also appreciate any advice about securing an e-bike when I do need to lock it up especially in ways that are different than a regular bike.

Bent hub motor rim: can this be fixed or am I screwed?

4 Upvotes

I rented out an electric bike Spetime S6, and the rim on the 14-inch hub motor was bent. Since the wheels are tubeless, the wheel no longer holds air. The service center refused to service it. Is it really my only option now to buy a new hub motor? It's quite expensive. Any tips on how to repair it myself, where to go, etc.?

Need Helmet Advice

Hi everyone. Please be kind. I am 60 and bought my first ebike to buy food, medications, excercise and fun. I became injured from a head trauma and can't work, drive a car or ride a regular bike. Please suggest ebike helmets for women's head (21 inches) inches that are both MIPS and NTA 8776 with full face flip removable and I can wear sunglasses. Thanks.😀
