Gizzygone, I was in the same boat as you last month: Deciding between the Luna X1, a 2019 Haibike, or something else. All the posts on the internet about Haibike possibly pulling out of the USA scared me (Haibike was bought by another company recently, and now shows NO USA dealers or contacts...

Thanks for all of your input, which confirms my gut feeling. Lorrin

I have done the math. My question is really if anyone has experience to let me know if 5% more low end torque is really enough to notice or make a difference. Thanks

Hello, I have a 27.5x3 bike with a MAC12T that I have been trail riding for a couple of years. I love everything about it except that the large wheel/tire diameter make it somewhat under powered and prone to overheating on slow technical climbs (I have a CAV3 that is set up to show temp and...

I agree with Chalo. I, too had visions of building a nice folding E-bike to take on trips, etc. I bought a nice used Dahon speed a few years ago and had it shipped to me as there were none for sale locally (this kept me from test riding it). I am 6'4", 195 pounds, and riding that bike was about...

I am pretty sure that Frey announced that the hardtail was available with 27.5 plus wheels and would fit up to a 2.8 inch wide tire.... I guess we will know when they confirm. Good luck, Lorrin

Here is what was causing the chain skipping on only the smaller sprockets in my case: The chain has to have the correct number of links for the range from smallest sprocket to largest sprocket, and size of the sprockets you have. Notice how the rear derailleur angles much more to the front of...

The chain skipping can just be a derailleur adjustment. The last bike I ordered did this until I adjusted it so that the rear derailleur wrapped around more of the sprocket (and engaged more teeth).

FYI, I have used the Ebrake switch kit that EM3EV sells for both of my Ebikes, one of which used hydraulic brakes, and one which had BB7 mechanical disk brakes. I used "JB weld" to attach the small magnet to the bottom of the brake lever right next to the lever mount, and the same "JB Weld" to...

I hesitated to post this, but I think since Frey is following this thread, they should have this feedback. I have been using EndLess-Sphere for quite a while, and have built a few Ebikes, and sold a couple to friends. A friend just asked me which bike he should buy now for his first Ebike and I...

I just watched the video of this bike and was very impressed, as was the (very well known) reviewer. It has a real torque sensor system and appears to be very well thought out. Cost is $1850. https://youtu.be/wGZ73_b2cWM

Some companies have spent quite a bit of time figuring out their settings for the BBSxx systems. The one I bought from Paul at EM3eV had no bad behavior like you described. Mine works like this with PAul's settings: If you are not pedaling, the throttle works smoothly all the way from 0 to 100...

Tinasdude, Where did you order your 17A, 52 volt version? Thanks, Leelorr

I do remember the person in the video saying that their version was "special or custom" so it could handle the higher voltage. I wondered if he really knew that for a fact....

How about compatible/tested Sine wave controllers for MAC motors? I contacted Paul at EM3EV and he said that he did not offer any...
