    preferred throttle style for indirect steering tadpole ?

    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.

    Dutch police found a way to test e-bike power on the side of the road

    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...

    Dutch police found a way to test e-bike power on the side of the road

    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...

    Dutch police found a way to test e-bike power on the side of the road

    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...

    Dutch police found a way to test e-bike power on the side of the road

    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...

    Operable headlights and taillights

    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...

    Second torque arm assembly?

    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...

    Second torque arm assembly?

    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...

    Second torque arm assembly?

    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...

    Is there a need for 2 torque arms

    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...

    Is there a need for 2 torque arms

    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...

    Is there a need for 2 torque arms

    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

    Torque sensor compatibility?

    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...

    Torque sensor compatibility?

    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...

    The easiest way to improve ebike safety for newbies is regenerative braking

    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...

    Torque assist / PAS system?

    I have another question regarding my new system. I am wanting a front wheel, geared hub with a throttle. I am looking at the eZee front hub (already have this model). My current system is throttle only. If I get a pedal assist (pas, torque) as well, can the pedal assist be disabled (shut off)...

    Up grading to a new trike

    I got to physically see and use Hase trike today. The suspension fork on that trike was a Spinner 300 and I believe it was the spring and not the air version. There was no "air" valves on the shock. Another factor I found out was that Hase also sells a front hub motor (36v, 250w) and they...

    LOOK .... I have tried to treat you with respect, I have NEVER disrespected you by calling you names. I have even thanked you for your suggestions and opinions Even though they were TOTALLY opposite of what I was asking about. You tell me to pay attention, .... well .... the title of this...

    Up grading to a new trike

    If I go there (dealer with one similar trike) it will be for more information than just the front forks. It is a Kettweisel, not the Lepus but I will be able to check out the rear shocks and how a low seating position actually feels, the Lepus has a higher seat. I have chatted with the store...

    Up grading to a new trike

    amberwolf, thanks again. I can't find anything on the Hase website where it states "exactly " the fork in question. Probably so they can switch if supply gets limited. The configuration (setting up order) part of the site says shock can be configured for the riders weight and has 40mm travel...

    Up grading to a new trike

    amberwolf, thank you. In the PaPaSteve post above, he posted a link to a manual. I haven't been able to fully understand it yet, but it sounds like it is "air", talks about air settings, has "lockout" and "release" as well as adjustments for rebound. I am hoping that it is more quality than...

    Up grading to a new trike

    You are correct. My current trike has a single rear shock. Todays suspended models are independent rear shocks. I have the choice of ridgid (no shocks), rear shocks (independent rear suspension), front fork shocks (Spinner 300) or a combination of the two for full suspension. I am looking into...

    Up grading to a new trike

    I was able to chat today with one store in midtown Toronto that has a Kettweisel Evo in stock. I was asking if it had the full suspension and it does. The options included are not what I want and need so it would not be coming home with me, but I could go and check it out. The problem is that...

    Up grading to a new trike

    I was saying a hub motor because ..... as I said above "I DO NOT WANT a motor connected into my drive chain". You keep pushing your point even if it is against what this thread is about. I am all for opinions and suggestions but please read what a poster wants and make the suggestions which...

    Up grading to a new trike

    When I got my trike back in 2010, there was really not any assisted internal gear hubs. I ride in the winter and I have had enough with derailleur in snow and ice. I wanted anmIGH. Plus I liked the turning radius of the delta over a tadpole. I had a quad before, was really tired of constantly...
