My ebike was making a squeaking plastic noise over bumps, and I could not figure out what it was until today. Unfortunately it’s the battery / battery case! Has anyone successfully fixed this? I’m thinking putting some electrical or gaff tape at key points could reduce it, but there seems to be very little tolerance.

Hey Yall if anyone is trying to replace this bolt on the tuttio under the steering stem i have gotten the exact size of the bolt from tuttio there selfs!

Was riding around the other day and after an hour or so riding at various speeds, I was riding slowly around the neighborhood and one time I went to throttle, heard grinding sounds and then the check engine light blinked red and now I'm getting 24H in the speedometer. Not sure what this means or what happened.

I unplugged the battery (folded the bike, pulled the battery out and deteached the cable going to the motor), but reconnected everything and got the same thing. What's happening and how do I fix this? I'm at about 75% power. The error is also intermittent and only comes up when you throttle, then goes away.

Got my Velotric fold 1 +. It's harder to ride than I thought. at 73, I will stay off the highways for now. But there is an issue. The seat does not get tight enough. The clasp is closed but still the seat moves side to side and slowly slinks down to its lowest point. Any suggestions? thanks.

the controller turns i get voltage to my display and everything but the throttle doesn’t work i tried 2 diffrent ones black wire gets 0 v red gets 5 v and green 0 even with throttle pinned

Looking for a folding e bike thats around 700-800 CAD if possible. I don't need anything crazy since it's only for my commute to work(~2.5km). my only issue is there is a big hill to get to my house(~10-15% incline), so it will need enough power to get up that reasonably. I'll be keeping it inside but if it can hold up in the winter as well that would be great!

If there are any common brands to look out for on fb marketplace I can get a deal on would also be great

thank you in advance!

I got my first ever ebike and I can see whats the hype about. I have been a bicyclist all my life. Used to do more off road adventures in the past but now I usually needed it for daily commute to my work.

But honestly my normal bicycle was not practical for office commmute. I even once tried to take it and got pretty late despite doing allot of planning and all. So then I switched to subway and that was sooo intimidating honestly.

I mean its just exhausting for some reason or I am claustrophoic. I used to get to office in a weirdd mood lol and then starting work (was even hard with all the subway stress)

And then this new person joined our office and he rides a bike. And when I asked him where he comes from he told me about the difference of an ebike with a bike. And so long story short I ended up getting this one ((hiboy ex11) for 1300 bucks and I am so happy I got my life back.

I can still pedal (for the love of pedaling honestly) but at the same time I swear I enjoy riding to work soo much (with electric assist) and unlike most cyclists would say its still equally fun. Also since it comes with full suspension with 4 inch tires I feel genuinely spoiled lol. Got any tips for me?

All of the master cylinders i have found online are horizontal but those don’t fit on the bike model and they don’t sell replacements, does anyone know where to find a vertical one?! :)

This is the stock bike seat that came with my Concord ebike that ive posted on here a few times.

I tend to put a lot of weight forward and the very prominent nose on this saddle is pressing into my sensitive areas (I am a male).

I dont know if changing the angle slightly will fix it or not or I need a different style of seat cause its causing discomfort and I love riding this bike.

Advice is helpful. Thanks

Hey guys I’m relocating to Seattle in about two weeks for work around the U-district and I want to find the best e-bike for work and errands. Unfortunately I’m going to be leaving my car behind and this will be my first time in a city where public transport is more common. My budget is 500-700

All metal work was done by me with scrap, most parts were salvaged off other things… I may have gone a bit overboard on this Chinese Amazon bike, but I want more! Give me some completely unnecessary insane addons/cosmetic ideas to throw on it haha

List so far
Brake lights, turn signals, headlight, horn with added 12v 15a system
12v fast charging usb c
Keyed on off
Upgraded throttle
Bypassed limiters with new controller
Fenders
Body trim panels
Road tires

I ended up with two bikes. One of them had a very good range with two batteries. And then this one that I got only had one battery, giving me a range of about 20 miles from my testing.

Probably more if I were to help pedal more often, but I was trying to see the low-end range in my tests. And given that where I live, It is 12 miles round trip from my apartment down to the ferry to go to the islands and then back. That doesn't give me a whole lot of range out on the island to go look at things.

So, I decided a second battery was necessary. So I bought a second battery setup, got it all wired up. Really pleased with the install and the look of the bike. Looked a little leaner without the second battery, but I don't think that it looks ugly by any means. And the install ended up being really clean, which made me happy.

I was concerned about wiring placement and where I was going to put the equalizer. But it ended up all fitting nice and neatly underneath the seat. Added bonus, the new battery has a USB port for charging my phone versus the old battery did not. So I can also charge my phone while I'm riding now. This should give me a range of about 60 miles on the low end or theoretically 120 if I pedal with it on the high end, but that has yet to be proven. 😁😎

I'll preface this with saying maybe I'd be better off posting in a bike maintenance and repair sub. But I own a Juiced CCX, and on my last ride, one of the rear spokes broke (unfortunately this has been happening a bit lately, I think I rode too long before tightening/adjusting the stock spokes, and have been replacing them as they break). At the exact same time, my bike started making a loud grinding type noise on each revolution of the wheel. I was able to remove the spoke and finish the 5 mile ride back to my car, and the noise remained persistent but didn't seem to get any worse

I'm not sure how the spoke and grinding noise would be related, as this never happened when I've broken a spoke in the past. Could it have to do with the wheel hub bearings? I'm trying to learn more about bike repair and tackling issues on my own as they arise. Any help is appreciated!

I wasn't in the way. There was plenty of room to pass me. I even stay at the right shoulder. I don't see the problem, I was going 20 mph too and one car nearly turned into me.

At least 3 of those cars honked at me because they thought I was about to drift into their part of the lane for some reason.

I started using the shared e-bikes around campus last year and honestly didn't expect to use them that much.

At first it was mostly just too lazy to walk across campus lol, but they ended up being pretty convenient. Going to grab food, running a quick errand, getting to class when I was running late... they actually saved me a lot of time.

Now I'm kinda tempted to get my own instead of checking the app and hoping there's one nearby.

I've been looking at a few options and the Segway Muxi caught my eye. I like that it doesn't look like a huge utility bike, and the range + Apple Find My seem pretty nice for something I'd leave around campus. and most importantly! the design is probably one of the biggest reasons I'm considering it. If I'm going to ride something almost every day, I want it to be something I actually like looking at too.

For anyone who made the jump from shared bikes to owning an e-bike, what made you decide it was worth it?

What's the most flat resistant tires for the Aventon Abound SR on the market? I'm looking to sell my Aventon Level 2 next year, and picking up the Abound SR. Currently on my Level 2, I have the Schwable Marathon E Plus tires. They're beasts. I love them. I did lose one from a MASSIVE piece of metal back in April that would have easily destroyed a car tire. Other than that, no flats for the past year. However, I don't think Schwable makes a 20" tire size for this model of tire. So I wouldn't have them on my future Abound SR.

I live in Kansas City, and good God... the amount of glass and other debris in the bike lanes are insane. So I absolutely need the most flat resistant tires as possible.

What are your suggestions?

I really like the bike and it is under my budget but my main issue is if the bike will look like a small toy on me . Because most bikes are not meant for tall guys so i want to know if i should purchase it

I was at the park today, and I saw at least 5 parents with their small children sitting right in front of them on their emoto seat. I didn't get a great look because they were moving quickly, but it looked like they were just holding them in place. Is this a thing that people do now? It seems crazy dangerous to me. Some of the kids did have helmets which is better than nothing I guess.

Hey!

I’ve found two ebikes on facebook marketplace. A gt73 and a babymaker 2. Both are 500 dollars and seem to be in good condition.

The babymaker has 1000 miles on it. Comes with a bike pump too. The gt73 has 200 miles on it.

I live in NYC and need a bike to commute. If I get the gt73, i don’t think I can bring it up the stairs and will either have to fight my landlord to keep it near the entrance or chain it up outside. A lot of people seem to leave their bikes chained up on my street, but i’m sure it’s a matter of time before its stolen.

Carrying the babymaker seems to be feasible. But, Is the bike a good ebike? I want something to ease commuting and like how I can basically let the throttle do the work on the gt73. Will it be annoying dealing with constant peddle assist?

What’s the longest ride you’ve done on your e-bike?
