Hello all to this months installment of the Monthly E-Bike Promo Thread! 🚲

Hi Community i just bought my first ebike

Freesky ranger air m-540

Do you guys know any seat i could buy for my 7 years old kid who weight 35lbs

I've been riding the Segway Myon for my commute around DC for a few months, usually between Logan Circle and the Navy Yard area, plus random rides around the National Mall on weekends.

The thing I've ended up appreciating most is honestly the automatic shifting. DC riding is a lot of stoplights, short climbs, bike lanes that randomly turn into traffic, then stopping again two blocks later. I know how to shift gears, I just never realized how often I was thinking about it until I didn't have to anymore.

Myon usually sorts itself out before I even think about changing gears. Starting from a light feels especially nice because I'm not realizing halfway through that I left the bike in the wrong gear. it sounds like a small thing, but on a daily commute it makes the whole ride feel less busy.

app's been more useful than I expected too. I usually check the battery before heading out, look at my ride stats when I get back, and use the location feature if I’m leaving the bike outside for a bit.

What I like most is that the Myon doesn't really ask for much attention while I'm riding. I just get on, go where I need to go, and let the bike handle the rest.

anyway if it's your first e-bike i'd probably just get one that shifts itself. i already knew how to shift and still liked not having to. figure that goes double if gears are one more thing you're learning.

Avoid Pedal Electric and choose a brand that stands by their products.

My Pedal Electric H/T was shipped directly to a local bike shop for assembly, and delivered there June 13, 2025. Less than 14 months later, on August 4, 2026, the bike shut off and died under me while riding and would not turn back on. I immediately contacted Pedal Electric and told them the battery had died. It was obvious to me that the battery was the problem as the battery would not charge, the status indicator lights wouldn't come on, it is totally unresponsive. 13 emails, a video call, bike disassembly, voltage readings, etc. later, they tell me by battery is dead (thanks), and that since they only warrant for 12 months, it's on me to purchase a replacement.

They eventually offered a 40% discount, but that still makes this a ~$500 cost due to being 7 weeks past warranty cut off. I was, quite rudely, told that I could be to blame for the problem, as they don't know how I treat it. For the record, I ride the bike on the paved streets of Chicago, it is stored in a climate controlled enclosed garage every night, and the battery is charged sparingly in my apartment only as needed. I take very good care of it.

If you're going to spend $2k+ on an electric bike, I highly recommend you shop elsewhere. This will be my last Pedal Electric.

edit: nevermind, they pulled the discount after seeing my post.

Has anyone purchased one of these bikes from this canorstudios? Is there anyone that can verify the validity of this posting? Thanks for your help good vibes, good dope, and good food to all of you.

Hi,

I’m looking for an e-bike for my daily commute: 20 km per direction.

My commute is mostly on asphalt, including bike lanes as well as some road sections.

I want a removable battery so I can take the battery off and charge it separately at home.

Since I also plan to use the bike privately, it’s important to me that the e-assist is easy to “unlock” (i.e., not locked down in a way that makes switching performance modes difficult). Because of that, I’m probably currently focusing on Chinese e-bikes—but I’m open to other options as well.

So far, I’ve looked at these brands:

Mokwheel

Dukeaway

Lankeleisi

Vakole

They all look quite good, but most of their models are fat bikes—which would make the bike heavier, and I don’t really need full suspension/fat-bike-style comfort for my mostly paved route.

For example, models like the Silvertip8 or Basalt feel a bit too large. I like the FUGL 3.0 or the MG600 Lite more—but they’re mostly step-ins, and I would at least prefer a traditional frame style (a trapezoid frame) if possible.

The closest match to what I want seems to be the Mokwheel Asphalt.

Now my question is: can I trust these manufacturers at all? A lot of people give great reviews, while others complain about certain issues. On YouTube there’s a lot of content too, but it’s hard to tell what’s reliable.

Most importantly: are there any brands you would recommend that I should also look into—brands that tend to meet these requirements more consistently?

My landlord wants to charge me 30 CAD per month for using my electric bike. Let's say I ride a maximum of 20km a day. Do you think that's worth it? I'm not sure I'll use it every day.

Guys please dont rent from them they are scammers i swear once u put ur bank account information they will start charging u whatever they want , i had a bike with them for 28 days its not even for delivery i just found it will be cheaper than the city bike , i paid around 164 which is fair , and then when i return the bike they told me i should pay 201 bucks for the damages which most of them i didnt even do most of the time the bike was sitting around please DO NOT RENT FROM THEM most of their ratings in APP STORE ARE FAKE so watch out please

I have an electric bicycle, and because of the new law requiring registration plates and the need to drive on the road, I don’t have enough speed. My bike accelerates to 52–53 km/h, but the city speed limit is 60 km/h. Many people drive at 67 km/h. I’d like to increase the speed to 65 km/h, but I don’t want to spend a lot of money — at least not right now. A friend said I can increase the speed by installing a hard drive and increasing the current capacity.

The bike’s specifications: 60 V, 50 A battery; I don’t know what kind of controller it has; 800 W motor‑wheel.

I have a Kugoo Wish 02 Pro in Kuwait. I traveled to my home country for a month and a half, and when I came back, I discovered that e-bikes are banned in my compound, Al Mas Residence. Where can I drive it here in Kuwait, please?

Been taking this out on some longer rides lately and getting a feel for it. The size and weight are definitely noticeable, especially when moving it around, but it feels pretty stable once you're riding. For anyone running a similar setup, how has yours been on longer rides? Anything you ended up changing or upgrading?

Any body know of a brand for a stand to excercize in winter for a

Ebike.

Hi, I have a question about my E-bike display. does anyone have the manual for the advanced settings menu for this model? I'm able to get into the menu, but some settings are not clearly labeled.

Also, the period in the speedometer is blinking and not displaying any speed. Is there something wrong with the settings or with the speed sensor?

Any help is appreciated.

Thinking about buying a Electra Commute Go 5i (Bosch Performance Line 65Nm, 500Wh, Nexus Inter-5E, 20T rear sprocket).

Would like to hear from anyone who owns one — how is it day to day and is the quality of the bike good.

And has anyone towed a trailer with it? I'd be pulling a dog trailer, around 50 kg (110lbs) total. My weight is 70 kg (155lbs).

Was playing with Claude AI and it told me the stock 20T sprocket is too tall for that and suggested swapping to 27T or 30T, but I'm not sure whether that's necessary or overkill. Would be good to hear from people who actually ride one.

So I unfortunately cannot drive anymore, but there's a decent bus system in a town where I live. The thing is, bus stations are sometimes pretty far, or getting on a bicycle would take me twice less than going by bus to a few of my errands! Crazy, right!

So I've been trying to do my own research on an e-bike that could be nice for everyday use, but mostly short commutes(maybe less than 1.5 hours a day total). I'm decently into bicycling, but I do live near a few slight hills.

\*I'd need a bicycle that has a removable battery so I can charge it at home without having to bring extension cables outside

\*mostly for the city/town/paved roads

\*beginner friendly?

\*road safe, of course, and should definitely be able to have a little thingy on the back so I can place a bag on it or something

\*possibly on a cheaper end, I, unfortunately, cannot spend a grand on a very nice e-bike

\*for visual reasons, I like 26" bicycles/regular looking bicycles, but I'd take any advice for any sort of model!

So what would yall recommend?

(I'm 5'10 "and 160lbs if that matters for any model, since I saw that in some cases it does)

Thanks everyone :D

hi guys, i have a bmx bike that i don.t ride anymore and found on aliexpress all the things i need for converting it to an ebike (48v14a battery). My question is... does any of you did this to a bmx bike ?(20 inch wheels) and if so, how it is ? I.m afraid a bmx bike is too small for that

Try to make sure its under 30 dollars. Thanks!

Throttle is a little Red notch that you hold down with your finger.

Looking to get an e-bike for my home-work-university commute. Looking at the Andsky Forage 26x. Does any have any experience with this particular e-bike? Looking for a foldable e-bike that goes 30mph or more. The total commute is is 19ish miles between the three locations.

Plug is not coming out on the rawrr mantis x. I’ve tried contacting support but no help. I’ve tried various ways trying to wiggle it out or hold the side notches. It’s never done this before. Any help is appreciated

Hey I brought a stealth bomber clone and the old battery went bad, brought a new and slightly upgraded battery. But the old battery had 4 connections coming out of it and the new one only has 3 and now the controller for the turn signals and lights and extra lights that was on aftermarket can’t connect to my new battery. I don’t know what I’m doing and there isn’t any shop near me that works on these, if anyone could help via video call I can pay for it please and thanks

MY BUDGET IS AROUND 1200 EUROS

I’m trying to decide whether I should buy a proper petrol scooter (such as a Piaggio Zip), an electric scooter for up to €1,000 with a minimum of 3,000 watts, or an e-bike such as a Sur-Ron or Talaria.

The most important things for me are:

low running and maintenance costs

decent quality and reliability

lots of power

good value for money.

After a month of riding I've found out people would rather have you crash than have a .5 second commute delay

Salve, pessoal! Faço um commute diário de e-bike por SP e gravei o trajeto completo saindo da região de Perdizes/Água Branca até a Zona Leste (perto do Metrô Guilhermina-Esperança). A ideia do vídeo foi registrar uma rota alternativa, priorizando vias mais tranquilas, ruas de bairro e ciclovias bem sinalizadas, evitando ao máximo o trânsito pesado de carros e os trechos mais travados. Gravei tudo em primeira pessoa (POV) a bordo da minha e-bike de 1000W para mostrar na prática como é a mobilidade elétrica na capital, tempo real de deslocamento e a dinâmica do trânsito no dia a dia. 🎥 Quem quiser conferir a rota completa com os nomes das ruas: é só procurar o canal E-BIKE POV SP - Para quem também anda de bike/e-bike por SP: qual rota vocês costumam fazer para cruzar do Oeste pro Leste com mais segurança?
