Fenders look really good. Where did you buy them?

I wanted a relaxed fat tire e-bike for various purposes: hauling the kids, going on all kinds of surfaces, commuting in a relaxed way, hauling cargo. After much Googling I found the Electra Lux Fat 7D, which has been converted many times before due to the possibility of it being able to fit the...

Are there any available mid drive kits that only have one freewheel (no freewheel for the motor to the chain)? Would this add a lot of drag when neither the motor or pedals are being powered?

I would like the velomobile to be motorized both forwards and backwards if possible. If not then I guess a fabric covered foot hole is the next best thing. Other solutions I can think off add a lot of complexity and reliability questions. It's too bad that only a direct drive will work for...

Hi, I am looking into mid drive motors for velomobile purposes. For those of you who don't know, velomobiles are enclosed trikes/quads. Most of which have foot holes at the bottom to go reverse. Some of which uses a hub motor to reverse. However, since they tend to weigh 30kg-50kg and top out...

Just took the ebike out for a spin, went approximately 15 km. Seems to work fine. Everything working as it should. I have no idea what happened.

Hi guys, I haven't done anything to the battery yet since my screwdriver is too thick to fit into the hole where the screws are located. However, since it is a sunny day today, the balcony doors are opened and the battery has been in the sun since this morning. I checked the power level again...

I see. Thanks for the info. Should I go ahead and open it up? I've never worked with batteries before (except replacing 1.5V batteries :D)

So I need to open it up I guess? You mean you need pictures of the battery cells? The link above shows the battery as a "package"

First of all, I want to describe a problem with my battery that happened around 10 months ago during late fall. I left my ebike with the battery attached in the basement overnight. Basement temperature was probably around 5C. The battery stopped working while I was riding it to work the next...

Great! So it should work given that the diameter and length of the unit fits. Does anyone have those dimensions? Also, does it have to fit snug in there or loosely?

Hi guys, About the Bafang mid drive, I was wondering about its compatibility with different bottom bracket threadings. From some of the pictures, it looks like it might not even thread into the frame, but rather threaded onto itself and clamped in the BB tube. I have a bicycle with damaged BB...

Okay, but what about the packaging? The Headway one is just a bunch of cells put together, no casing what so ever.

Hi, I am building my first ebike which is a tandem. I've decided on the kit but it doesn't include the motor so I need to choose. The kit: http://www.greenbikekit.com/index.php/electric-bike-kit-1/rear/36v-500w-8fun-bpm-e-bike-kit.html The battery choices...
