    What Brand/Model Tires do you use on your Electric Bike?

    Hey Guys. Looking for a recommendation for new Tires for my Electric Bike and I'm curious what you guys are using. My rims are 26" and it's a full suspension Mtn. Bike Frame. I've been using Kenda Slant Sixes, but I really don't need a Knobbie (I ride mostly street) and they are wearing out...

    What's Better? Use up more Ah's or Charge more often?

    I have a question about my Battery. It takes me 3.5 Ah to get to work and back. Three trips would be 10.5 Amp Hour out of 13.5. which is right under 80%. If I go twice it would only use about 7 Amp Hours out of 13.5 but would require charging it more often. My question is, what’s better for...

    Need a LONG kickstand for my e-bike

    Can anyone recommend an extra long adjustable kickstand? I need the type that mounts on the rear of the bike near the axle. The adjustable "Zicom" I bought is about two inches too short because of the angle of my frame and the bike has a severe lean to it. Has anyone found something that works...

    We've some really imaginative and cool looking 26 inch e-bikes around here and I thought it would be nice to have a photo collection of them all in one place. If you got 'em, please post 'em. A few lines about what went into your project would be cool too. :)

    Recommend some Hydraulic Brakes for new E-Bike Project

    Hey guys, Been going back and forth between the 203mm Magura MT-5 Hydraulic Brake system and the 203mm Tektro Dorado system for my new e-bike project. The Magura has 4 pistons but the Tektro is (according to the marketing materials) purpose built for e-bikes and uses a heavier duty Rotor or some...

    Compare HPC to Stealth

    Any thoughts on one of these HPC XC bikes versus the Bomber? It's about two grand cheaper and 60 pounds lighter and actually beat the Bomber on speed and climbing tests (not surprising with the huge weight difference). Talked to the owner of the company today and he seems like an honest enough...

    50 Mph, 5000 Watt, HPC XC-Elite w/ Schlumpf Drive

    I spec'd one out today just for informational purposes and you get a very nicely outfitted bike with a HUGE 5000 watt motor. I'm thinking really hard of giving these guys a shot. The owners are two young guys trying to build their business, and I'd like to help them out. The Frame is basically a...

    N00b question: Is "this" normal for an e-bike?

    Hi guys, New e-biker here. Just finished installing a Falco 500 watt kit on my bike and I'm looking to do another for the kids. Love it. Most fun I've ever had on a bike. :) Been tinkering a lot with Rakesh over at Falco and have also been auditioning a few commercially made e-bikes as well. On...

    Having Some Problems with My Falco 500 Watt Kit...

    About 3 weeks ago I purchased a 500 Watt, 36V, Falco Kit for my Hybrid 21 Speed. The Dealer I bought it from had some trouble getting it to work and I ended up having to drive it back there (45 minutes each way) twice for various problems. Finally got it home and discovered that it cuts off...

    350 Watt Geared motor vs. 500 Watt Direct Drive Motor?

    Would a 350 Watt Geared Motor be roughly equivalent in terms of Torque and Top Speed to a 500 watt Direct Drive Motor? I realize there are a lot of variables, but it that a fair general assumption?
