    I've purchased a blind nut rivet kit to add 5mm "eyelets" wherever I need them. Grin does have some great stuff. It's where I purchased my kit.

    Lots to absorb. I do have a regenerative braking option. It requires a manual link from a brake lever to (I believe) the controller. I didn't set it up on the 1st build. I wanted to get comfortable with the system before I did that. Most of the Amazon stuff I ordered came in yesterday. A blind...

    Hi Inanek. I'm assuming that the cadence sensor setup would be a minimal cost. For some reason I keep thinking that a pas setup is going to send me through red lights at high speed. Kind of like a stuck throttle. I know if the pas system was unsafe, manufacturers wouldn't incorporate them into...

    I've searched amazon for thumb throttles. I didn't look at button throttles. If it turns out that all I need is a short burst to climb a hill, as I'm imagining a button could be the answer.

I dialed the power down to where the battery would move me about 6 km per hr. It's a bit frightening...

    I find straight bars hurt my hands and wrists. I tried padded grips, bull horns & cane grips. Nothing helped so I switched to drop bars decades ago. I have chronic heart disease now so I'm trying to build an e-bike so I can tour again. If straight bars work for you then, ride with them...

    I'm in the process of turning a retro norco 12 speed road bike into an e-bike. I'm looking for some opinions on drop bar throttles. What's available and what works for you. Thx.
