I lowered my twist shifter and mounted a thumb throttle above it. I ended up changing it by mounting the thumb throttle upside down so instead of pushing with the thumb, I am pulling with my fingers when the throttle is needed.

I think that you need to apologize for the FALSE accusation you made of "my own misbehavior ". I never claimed to be a person speeding, only that at times it is needed to avoid trouble on the road. They even teach that in driving instruction classes. Yes speeding causes deaths, but not as much...

You are unbelievable, also ignorant to actual facts in life, not all situations can be safely governed by the all "EXACT" rules. Why do they actually create a "passing lane" ..... according to you, there is no need for a "passing lane" as you should just follow. If there is a driver driving too...

According to WHO ...... CURRENTLY NOT people that teach safe driving. I have seen too many times where a bad driver caused an accident, collecting innocent drivers and passengers behind them, usually it is only the innocent people that get hurt. If a bad driver is in front of you, you are in...

I guess that you have never driven behind someone that made you extremely nervous and scared. I want to be in front of those drivers, but not only in front, but have one or two vehicles between us. I do not want to have that vehicle to cause an accident which includes me. Sometimes as a driver...

There are headlights (with a switch and horn) out there that work with voltages up to 72v. There are plenty of headlights/taillights (with turn signals) that work with voltages upto 48v (some even 60v). However most of these do not meet the German standards for cycling lights. ebikes.ca have...

I believe the V2 torque arm uses a fender bolt hole (to secure). My front forks will be "Spinner 300" which has no fender bolt hole. With the V6, after your suggestion, I was thinking if I alternated the groove in the insert and the arm (then assemble the arm and insert, groove facing...

I would prefer to not cut the wires and re-assemble (soldier and heat shrink) but it might be necessary. I imagine your suggestion to "remove metal from the torque arm " is to cut a grove to slide over the axle. If this is done, how much would it effect the ability of the torque arm to function...

I am looking for information on adding a second torque arm onto an eZee front hub motor. eZee Front CA3 Kit I am not sure the people at ebikes.ca understand that I am wanting to add a second torque arm to the hub motor. I asked if one torque arm could be added (on side of sensor cables) before...

I have done a lot of research and reading, learning. There are a vast differences of opinions and most of those are quite different and those people are very sure that their opinion is correct. I personally was worried about the torque factor applied onto the stanchions. I understand that the...

I currently have a front wheel hub on a Hase Lepus Comfort (delta trike) with a 16" wheel. I normally use Big Apple tires (have difficulty sourcing them most times) and I have found that most times when on longer rides I wished I had more suspension. Longer rides I had started to not really...

With a eZee 500 watt motor (20" front hub), 52v and a Spinner 300 front fork. Would there be a need or benefit of installing a second torque arm (grin's V3) to match both sides. Thanks, Tom

Sorry I should have given more information. I am going with a complete new system to go with the new trike. The system will again be from ebikes.ca and be a front wheel hub motor (eZee front hub). The torque sensor from the same retailer. It is listed as an option for the kit so it should work...

I have an issue with a new trike and e-assist setup. My trike is on order and I could not view it beforehand, so sight unseen. It is a Hase Lepus trike. The Lepus, Cross and Kettweisel all use the same frame. My issue is I am thinking of adding a torque sensor to the BB in my system. I do not...

Regen braking "MIGHT" help a little, but it will also create other issues. What if a rider wants to pedal without applying any power from the electric assist. Regen works by generating power from the added resistance of the motor capable of creating regenitive power (i know a simplistic...
