    solid tyres

    I used slime for bikes with the rubber pieces in it, it works great for awhile but it will eventually leave you stranded and it will cause your valve stems to get gummed up which means cleaning them out all the time. Your best off to hire an assistant to walk your bike path bare feet two...

    is my ebike really environmentally safe?

    I inflate all of our bikes and e bike tires around 5% higher than max pressure. I do this to have the lowest rolling resistance possible, keep in mind our bikes are carefully ridden on fairly smooth asphalt, concrete. if we had a rougher route to ride I would lower the air pressure for a...

    Do you feel your ebike lacks its normal power sometimes?

    The power todays e bikes have on tap leave many to do a quick inspect to make sure nothing is falling off the bike then hop on and ride away. I have found out that if I want the same experience each time I use the same riding shoes and I always air up the tires before every ride. if your one to...

    solid tyres

    I have used solid tires in a number of small powered and non powered items they are very heavy compared to the standard version. you can get them to replicate the PSI rating that you want to run but I think you would be better off with something like this if your budget affords it. as it puts...

    What is Holding E-Bikes Back

    You can take a loaded gun and put it in a car. if not one single person ever touches either of them , no murder can happen because of that gun and car. again you people are ill and need to be heavily medicated. if you want to get all tree hugging wacko and tell me that murders happened in the...

    What is Holding E-Bikes Back

    You people are just totally wacked in the head, and just want to argue for arguments sake. the only thing I brought up and was merely to lighten the mood was the OP that I quoted stated that all Cars and trucks are murderous. when in fact a car like a loaded gun by itself cannot kill anyone...

    What is Holding E-Bikes Back

    Hi let me start of by saying I am no expert in anything especially e bikes. I feel technology is spoon fed to us in drips and drabs by large companies and governments that need to maximize the profit and taxes that this industry has to offer. The more this industry gains a foot hold many other...

    First e bike custom build I need your input please

    The bikes are so new that even the one year warranty on the battery is still good. is the reason I tried to go through A2B to get this bike repaired. By the time I was done dealing with The authorized dealer and A2B I was so mad I was seeing red. The bikes still work currently the only problem...

    First e bike custom build I need your input please

    This is the reply I received from Golden Motor From what I can tell if I want to keep my hydraulic brakes I will lose the regenerative Brake function,I am guessing their setup has built in switches much of what this guy was trying to say is hard to understand. they sent me a price quote but my...

    First e bike custom build I need your input please

    Yeah I sure would like the dual Magic pie motors ( going from experience with my A2B only when it is not powered on, it is just not possible for me to pedal it any distance ) however if it is powered on and just not accelerating it seems quiet capable of coasting for a long time and being...

    First e bike custom build I need your input please

    so far it seems I may just want more out of an e bike than can be had. regardless of how nice of a set up I want it seems going all electric just will not cut it. the road blocks I have ran into wanting a redundant back up system so I am not left stranded will work good until one system fails as...

    First e bike custom build I need your input please

    As far as the torque arms front or rear I am not too worried about them as they are inexpensive and can be easily modified to bolt on rather than just using a cheesy strap. using regenerative braking as far as I have learned means one arm has to be preloaded one direction while the other is...

    First e bike custom build I need your input please

    . Dithering over how to proceed with a build is pandemic in the ebike community, I dithered for months over direct drive or geared for SoLong, my current work in progress, eventually decided on 9C clone DD and it's great in many ways but if you live somewhere hilly and don't want to pedal at...

    First e bike custom build I need your input please

    I like the mid drive kit just not as much as the Magic Pie ( this is only going by what I have seen on the internet ) . I didn't think I would have to modify the frame to make the Giant compatible with it. I was just hoping for a much cleaner looking install as neither kit is cheap. I also...

    First e bike custom build I need your input please

    hi I do not mind to spend the money on a nice quality kit. I have no intention on buying yet another bike. The Roam I purchased will have to do If it means working on it to make it stronger I am willing to do or have that done what ever is needed. However I cannot see my new Giant not being...

    First e bike custom build I need your input please

    I have been looking high and low the more I look the more unsure I am about what direction to take with my new build. I have been kind of waffling between mid or hub mount conversions however I am really liking the Smart Pie 3 or 4 in fact I am really liking the idea of two Smart Pie prebuilt...

    e-HATERS!

    I think anyone would prefer a 125-150CC engine mounted on a modified DH frame, But think about what your saying. Lets say you built that exact Gasser bike you would most likely get pulled over within the first 20 miles and probably get arrested and your bike impounded. many of the gasser kits...

    e-HATERS!

    This comment is total Bull Sh^@ and shows your ignorance. Speaking for myself I have been a diehard gearhead for many years, I love the smell of race fuel and the sound of a properly tuned high performance gas engine. even today nothing will get my heart pumping like a high performance gas...

    Updated Reveiw of My Two A2B Alva + Bikes

    I have built and trued rims before but like many other people that don't do it often It takes me way too long plus now I am disabled I don't think I could physically do it any longer. but I am sure I could occasionally check the spoke tension with a gauge so I would know when to bring it in for...

    Updated Reveiw of My Two A2B Alva + Bikes

    Hi how did you get the service manual? I don't care how I obtain one, but so far I have hit dead ends. I was ready to order new Rhyno lite Xl rims and have new spokes made and also have them professionally built to get these bikes right as I absolutely love my A2B I just hate the company and...

    First e bike custom build I need your input please

    Thanks for the replies The A2B that I have I use the throttle only occasionally however at the right cadence I am running just about 18 to 19 mph after 20 the bike motor shuts off so unless I feel frisky that day I will back off my effort to maintain 18 to 19. I feel like when I use the...
