Seems like every time I go out on my bike I have incidencies where cars don't even look before they turn right across the bike lane cutting me off. Yesterday was another close call. I have a bright blinking light on the rear of my bike and two lights in front. I wear bright clothes as well as a yellow helmet. Frankly I don't think a louder horn will be effective in preventing these drivers from turning right in front of me on my bike but anything would be louder than the ringer I am currently using. I always prepare myself at intersections but yesterday was too close. Any suggestions for horns or other ideas?

Want to get an electric bike but the price tag is putting me off looking to instead convert an old mountain bike into an electric bike.

I have been trying to look for a good E-Bike as i want to explore more of my town and just want to get out of the house more often other than work and home. i was thinking about a HiBoy but read how bad they were. I honestly just need something that can go far and last me for a good while, not really looking for something fast, any help can be great

If you're into e-bikes you're probably a bit tired of hearing they are a fire risk, like the press would have you believe. A new and quite large UK lab test of kit ranging bike shop standard ebikes, conversion kits and with assessment given to tampered bikes reveals where the danger actually stems from.

Unprecedented battery testing for ebikes and kits: results

I ordered a CTI E bike from what I thought was a reputable company, and they have been nothing but unprofessional, dismissive and unhelpful. I ordered by bike on Jan 20th in hopes that it would arrive before I start my emergency rotation on Feb 3rd.. well to my disappointment, it's now Jan 29th and my order still hasn't been "processed". Their customer service is as unprofessional as it gets, each call ends with "I'll pass this on to my manager and you'll get an email by the end of the day" which never happens. I'm never purchasing from them again. I asked for a refund, for which I was supposed to receive an email on Jan 22nd, well that hasn't happened. My bike is still MIA and my refund has not been processed. DO NOT BUY FROM GOTRAX!!!

I’m looking for an electric bike with the best price/quality balance, and I figured that one important aspect would be the base budget (how low in price should you go, to not lose too much quality, endurance, etc). If anyone could help me out telling me how much that is, I would very much appreciate it.

I've been trying to remove this flat tire to replace it for a couple of days now, but even with the nuts unscrewed and following the instructions of multiple videos, it has been impossible to take it off. Does someone know what could I been missing? It's something else on the pictures that should be unscrewed? I don't want to go to the workshop for something that I should be able to fix easily.

Pd: apologies for the bad quality pictures, i don't have a really good phone Pd2: I can only post 1 picture, but imagine the nut of the other side unscrewed and the power cord disconnected.

I thought I’d query the hive mind. I recently test rode “specialized” ebike. The main goal is for recreational riding out on rural country roads and some light trails. The challenge I’m having is the 3-3500k cost. If I was going to ride this daily, I’d have no issue with the price. But for the use I’m looking for it’s feels really steep. Any recommendations on e-bikes? I’m most concerned about durability and a reasonable prices point. Ideally under 2k if that’s possible. Thanks.

I'm wondering if anybody knows if the battery is removable?.... For the price I'm assuming it is but when are you out? There has to have one. I just like to know that and any other specific comments you have about it

I'm in the market for the x3 concept and don't want the luna version. I'm trying to find a site to buy the concept, but all of the sites seem sketchy, and I don't want to trust them. Anyone know where to buy?

I’ve got a Basis Beacon E-MTB I don’t know much about but it needs a new battery just wondering what battery it is if anyone knows

Hi , has anyone bought a DYU ebike before ? On their site the bikes are on sale and you get a free foldable ebike with your purchase . That just sounds to good as you could probably quick sell the foldable bike for £300. They’re a Dutch brand which are usually the best bikes in my experience but I’m guessing there is something wrong with them if they’re offering ridiculous deals . Or is that to just try to compete on the market and get them selves known ?

EDIT : just seen it’s a Chinese brand . Probably why so cheap

Looking for a few recommendations for highly durable, fairly quiet EBike, mainly for delivery purposes.

Any advice or recommendations are very much appreciated!

They've got a good sale going for these right now so I'm picking one up for over half price. Any suggested upgrades I should considering doing?

Is the surron hyperbee available to buy? I have looked everywhere and cant find any info.

Also is there and offical surron website?

I dont why electricity not work

I have an Actbest Ranger with a 1500w motor powered by a 48v 14.5ah battery. Its top speed is 28mph but from what I read these specs should be capable of more than that. How would I find a replacement controller that will work with its specs?
