I’ll be transferring universities and the i’m looking for a relatively cost effective and reliable e-bike. On average I would be driving about 10 miles per day. Happy to hear of any suggestions.

I'm about to change careers, put all of my belongings in storage, and go OTR trucking to save some money for a few years. While on the road I'd like to be able to get some exercise and have a means of transport other than Uber to get out of truckstops and sightsee/grocery shop.

A collapsible ebike seems perfect for this purpose in theory, but I'm experiencing some option paralysis and would like to get some opinions on the best models available for my use case. The truck is equipped with an 1800 watt inverter to charge.

Me: 5'11 250lbs

Ideal: Foldable, hybrid(pavement,gravel), throttle, 25mph

Budget: ~$5k

I had my mind set on the Velotric Summit 1, but the vast majority of my riding will be done on roads, or other hard packed surfaces. It got me thinking that something more road focused would be a better option for me (maybe not? Let me know).

Something like the Canyon Grizl:On that has some front suspension would seem to be ideal, but doesn’t have a throttle. Are there any road/gravel oriented e-bikes that have a throttle? Bonus points if it has front suspension of some sort.

Or am I better served with the Summit 1 for all around use?

I was wondering if I could make a quick budget battery for my small modified razor mx350 with an upgraded controller with the intentions of getting 36v safely and as cheap as possible for right now. I do plan on buying a proper 36 volt lipo battery for it

i’m getting a voilamart stealth bomber and i’m putting my nbpower 72v 3000w kit on. The new frame is 170mm dropouts while my kit is 130, so will it fit? if not how do i go about this.

I'm looking to get my first ebike with my budget being 1k at most, I want to get the ridstar q20 1500w but I see like 50 50 on people who say it's great and people who say it will light your house on fire. I want smth that at least goes 30 mph and the battery atleast 25 miles, preferably with pedals but not needed. (Donations would be extremely appreciated)

I'm looking to put on a 2000w conversion kit with the most amph I can possibly get could I fit one on my current bike it's the radio asura 26" hardtail dirt jumper

Hi all, a little background info first: I am in the Netherlands, don't want to buy an ebike online, but rather at a bike shop near me. I have chronic pain that makes cycling difficult so I've decided to take the step of getting an ebike. Where I live it's basically completely flat and I mostly wanna be able to drive short trips through the city without being in too much pain afterwards. I don't wanna cycle fast or be able to drive long distances.

I've tested a couple ebikes the store had, and am now trying to decide if any of those are good enough for me to buy. I've done some research, but there's so much different info that it's just stressing me out instead of making things clearer, so I thought I'd ask it here.

The bikes I tried that I am considering are the Puch E-Symphony N7, and the Pointer E-forta step-in. Which of those 2 would y'all advise? Or would the advise be to look somewhere else for another ebike?

Hey everyone. New to ebiking and brand new to the subreddit. I recently purchased a “1500W Peak Power Electric Bike for Adults, 28 MPH 60 Miles Electric Moped Style Bike, 48V 20.8 Ah UL 2849 Removable Battery, 7 Speed 20" All Terrain Fat Tire Ebike (J1)” off Amazon for some fun casual riding. I would love to be able to take this into work and use as a daily mode of transportation. I’m curious if I can simply add a front wheel motor hub to this bike since I do have some uphill travel to get to work. If so is it possible to run through one battery? Can I have one motor powered on at a time? Is this a lost cause? Any sorts of feedback is greatly appreciated. Thank you so much !

So I have ebike Emoko C93 and my Accelerator stopped working. I have bought new one and it had same problem, obviously there is something wrong with the wiring. Meanwhile pedal acceleration works well. I have checked cables across the frame and the only part I don't have access to is a Controller Board, I can only barely glance at it. Seems like one 3 pin cable(A) and one 5 pin cable(B) are not connected to anything. I couldn't find any guide to it so I am clueless what they are responsible for. Can somebody help me figure it out?

PS - What's this unknown cable plugged to itself lol

My friends moved and couldn't take it with them. I've been messing around with, but mostly just cleaning the bike since it's been non-stop raining.

I think I read somewhere that people always keep a spare tube, bike pump and other stuff with them because getting a flat tire with these things sucks due to the weight. They left me three extra tubes, a hand pump, a front cargo back (where all of this was in) and an extra tire as well as a lock and some bungee cords.

Does anyone else have any tips and rules of thumb that I should be aware of now that I own a fat tire ebike? Thanks!

So I'm in the market to buy a new ebike, I'm a delivery courier for doordash, grubhub, etc, so I need something that lasts fast and drives fast, well not too fast, I was looking at the 52V60ah eahora juliet, it comes with dual motors with a peak of 2000 watts in output (i may be wrong) my area is somewhat hilly, with roads being a bit rough, average temperatures here are roughly 36 degrees Fahrenheit and I average around 10 miles every hour traveling. I wanted to know how many miles that would give me roughly.

I have a HeyBike Mars 2.0 1000 watt which came with a pair of these RSX hydraulic brakes. Are they good and trustable? If not, can anyone recommend good brakes for this bike that are reliable?

I found a yellowish gel like rubbery substance (a lot of it) inside my electric scooters control module. Does anyone know what the substance might be? From a slightly experienced but not professional eye it looks as if one of the components in the control module may have blown up from a previous owner over charging it maybe but I really have no idea. It burns really fast when I apply heat to the substance if that helps at all?

Have anyone tried mounting a battery on the frame on a bike like this? I am building my first E-bike and would like some input. I’d rather not have a rack battery.

I am looking to buy a MotoTec Mini Lowboy for commuting to work and back, But there are literally no reviews or YouTube videos on this thing. I know the regular-size Lowboy has some pretty good reviews, but this one has no reviews at all. Is this a good bike?

first time ive ever got on recording a karen interaction. let me know what you think. its about ten minutes into the video https://youtu.be/ZiX2dewpmtQ?si=5HsYxCzYeJfWIhg1

I'm thinking about replacing my brake pads but that's due to its squealing since I bought the bike. Is there any accessories or upgrades that you'd recommend for this e-bike? I could unlock it to go faster but its not going to show the correct MPH and I'm finding that the bike goes pretty fast on its own. Does anyone here own an Ape Ryder - Bonobo? Maybe we can bounce some ideas off each other!?!?!?!??!

Looking for a custom battery maker located in the UAE to help complete my CYCMOTOR X1 pro gen4 build.

Plugged battery in to charger for its 5/6th charge and the battery didn’t charge. It uses a 3 pin XLR connector, I checked there was no debris in there. Charger light when not charging is usually green and goes red when it starts charging, it’s not turning red anymore. Battery still functions fine just did another 3 mile ride but it’s dangerously low on 15% according to bike display. It’s one of those China downtube batteries, got it from pwspower. Appreciate anyone’s help that might have faced the issue.

So I just bought a lectric xpeak 2.0 on Friday and was wondering if anyone has an estimate on when it would arrive I didn’t know if there’s a normal time frame or anything so any info would be nice :)
