Ive done a ton of research and still can't 100% decide. I'm leaning more towards the Monarc. Do any of you have some good, bad, ugly stories to share about either or?

Has anyone ever put a bigger extended rear swing arm on the 79bike viper s?

• Upvotes

I’m trying to get a new swing arm that fits on the viper s with no modifications to the frame. I just want to put a bigger rear tire. I wanted to know if anyone has done this before, if so, can you please send the link where you bought the swing arm so I can get one too. I’m looking to get a 13 inch wheel in the rear.

How do YOU define an ebike?

• Upvotes

the internet can’t seem to come to a consensus on the true definition of “ebike”

i come from a background of mountain biking, so I am very familiar with the discourse on this topic and that has also framed my opinions on this

my own personal definition of an ebike is

“a bicycle integrated with an electric motor and a rechargeable battery that assists with propulsion”

the key word there is “assists”
if you have to pedal your bike in order for the motor to give you any assistance, that’s an ebike.
if you have a throttle so that you don’t have to put in any effort at all then i now consider that something else. what that is, i don’t know.

I’m curious what the redditors of this sub consider an ebike. how would you define it in your own words?

I have an ebike which is great on throttle but sadly I live too far it kills the battery until I can get my new bike I must ride pedal assist and let me tell you my ankles are dead at the end of the day and are in so much pain but I have to push through.

Anything besides insoles advil I can do to help rest my feet? I work in maintenance so my main thing is working all day with no people around. I wouldn't trade this job for anything. I love fixing stuff.

Bike build question Is it worth converting Retrospec Harper 7?

Post image
• Upvotes

I've had this bike for a few years and it's been great. I'm hoping to use it more for commuting, which involves some pretty substantial hills. Anyone have experience converting a Harper 7? Worth it, or would it be more worthwhile to just invest in a purpose-built e-bike?

No cars on the road, no people in sight, light winds only as loud as the silence it breaks. High Pressure Sodium lights. Just comfy.

Discover 3 E03 Error

Thumbnail
• Upvotes

Has anyone experienced an E03 error on their Velotric Discover 3?

I was riding last night when the error suddenly appeared. The bike seemed to be functioning normally, including the motor assist. I turned it off and back on, but the error remained. After changing the pedal-assist level a couple of times, the error disappeared.

Just curious if anyone else has experienced this, what caused it, and what you did to resolve it. Any feedback would be appreciated!

Goat Power Bikes in SoCal

• Upvotes

I’d like to hear from people who have one of the Goat Power Bikes (or a similar high-power bike with pedals) in southern California about whether they are having issues getting pulled over, bike confiscated etc. I’m strongly considering getting a King Goat bike for riding in San Diego county and want to know if I’d be just destined to have it impounded in the first month, even riding under 20mph and pedaling on public streets.

“Why not just get an actual 20mph, 750w class 2 e-bike and not worry about it?” I have one and it’s nice, but there are some steep dirt trails around my house that I can use as shortcuts and the class 2 doesn’t cut it on some of them.

Bike repair question Couple of questions on a Fiido M1 Pro ebike i bought at auction

• Upvotes

Hi guys,

managed to pick up a Fiido M1 Pro ebike at an auction for 250 blips. A bargain considering they're 1k+ new

Couple of problems with it: there's visible crash damage, looks like the rear brake handle and gear shifter took the brunt of the damage.

The motor won't run but i suspect this is due to the brakes being damaged and the motor not firing due to this.

I'm happy to put the work in myself, but if anyone has any experience repairing one of these bikes, i'd love to pick your brain.

A specific question i have: Fiido sells parts through their website. this part shows two handles but i'm thinking it's only 1 brake lever set, has anyone ordered this before and does it come with left and right, or just 1? It says lever, singular, but the picture shows 2, so i'm unsure. I can't find a contact email for them, so i'd be happy to put this question to them if possible.

E-Bike Bluetooth Speakers

• Upvotes

I typically never where headphones or listen to music when driving my e-bike. I ride all over Las Vegas roads. Does anyone recommend a handlebar-mount bluetooth speaker? I am trying to not carry a portable speaker in my basket. My budget is less than $100 for this.

26x4 Fat Tire Recommendations

0 Upvotes

Finally time to replace my stock tires after about 2700 miles. I was going to get the ones everyone recommends the ultraverse brand ones. But they say there are heavier tires. Will they slow me down or make my battery range less? If they do does anyone have any other tires they recommend that are not so heavy. I am looking for more street tires then off road ones, mainly on pavement city riding.

Suggestions for a Class 1 bike

3 Upvotes

Hello all.

Florida allows true Class 1 ebikes to go lots of places that other classes are not. I'm an active 70, 5'8" 175. The bike would be used on woods trails, fire roads and city streets.

We have and like 2 Aventon Sinch ebikes that have been used a lot when traveling. They have been great other than the weight.

What should I look at?

Thanks!

Bike purchase question Ebike help

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone, I’m currently looking for some help on an ebike choice.

I currently ride a transition relay, axs build.

My analog bike is a axs build sb140.

My whole choices are:
1. Yeti mte Eagle 90 build
2. Transition regulator sx eagle 90

Price for me is practically identical so that’s not the deciding factor.

Anyone have experience with the 2 or any insight?

TIA!

Fiido X pulling/resistance sensation

1 Upvotes

Hello,

I have issues with my fiido X. While riding, I can feel from time to time as if the support is shutting off - there's sudden temporary resistance or pull back. This happens mostly at low speeds, just after starting riding, so it is not connected to reaching the support limit over 25 km/h.

Has this happened to anybody and was it fixed?

I dont even know how to document this for the company, I tried recording it but it doesn't show on a video.
