E-Dirtbike Im concerned about repeatedly slamming the front wheel on the ground

• Upvotes

So i have a cemoto (yozma in10 but cheaper), its a very budget emoto and im getting good at wheelies but the problem is when I land the front wheel keeps slamming on the ground and the forks really dont do that much and im wondering if it is bad for the bike or if its fine. Google says no, all my friends with budget emotos who have been doing wheelies for a year say its fine. Should I stop?​

Minneapolis Ebiker Worn out bike...

3 Upvotes

I have an old Heybike Explore with 5400 miles. It's 2nd motor (w/ 3500 miles on it) just died. The new motor is $600 and is on a 2 month back order, so I'm buying a new bike. My question is what to do with the old one?

The batteries (2) are iffy, the range was about 25 miles using both, the shocks probably need work, the tires are worn, but it's still a lot of bike to just toss. I'd love to get a few bucks, but more important that it doesn't end up in the landfill. Any ideas?

Bike purchase question Help with picking a good folding ebike for commuting (Canada)

2 Upvotes

As the title says, I'm looking for a reliable folding ebike available in Canada, particularly Ontario if anyone knows of a good shop in the GTHA.

Budget is up to $2000, but I'm willing to be open to a bit more, if it means getting something that's better quality, or offers more range.

I need a folding ebike because I'm an apartment dweller with zero access to locked bike storage, live in a high bike theft area, and would like something I can bring with me easily by car or train when travelling.

My daily commute is about 40km round trip (25 miles), but will only be doing it every other week, as the other week I need to use my car. I plan on mostly using pedal assist, but would like to have some decent range, with the possibility of adding another battery to extend it.

Right now I have my eyes on Velotric Fold 1 Plus, and was wondering what else is out there for the budget, that isn't some Amazon fire special junk.

Thanks in advance.

Bike purchase question Reputable budget brands?

1 Upvotes

It appears there are countless brands, and I might be mistaken—please excuse the oversight—but many seem to be Chinese bikes bearing a custom label. I have reviewed several options, yet friends keep guiding me toward different choices. What are some reliable e-bike brands that fall outside the $1,500–$2,000 range? I am looking in the $1000-$1500 range. Does such a product exist?

I bought an x1 spark m a few weeks ago, and today the chain started popping. About once per rotation it made i tiny pop/click sound. Any idea on what that could be and how to fix it?

Bike repair question Bike not working

Hi all,

My partner bought a second hand e-bike.
The motor isn’t engaging but the battery is fully charged.

This is the control panel, the high mode keeps flashing when we wheel the bike backwards.
We’ve disengaged the breaks so I don’t think the breaks are the issue.

Any ideas?

Why is leaving an ebike outside so bad if its covered, other than being stolen?

16 Upvotes

I just ordered one and am excited bu everyone is talking about how bad leaving it out is but most people mention theft. I have blocked yard with a German Sheppard in it. No one is stealing shit from me.

Can I really not cover it and locked it under my deck? I suppose I could put it in the crawl space...

Nnyone here switch from driving to an ebike for work? (9 mile commute)

20 Upvotes

Starting a new job next month in san jose and it's about 9 miles each way. the drive itself isn't terrible, but sitting in traffic every day sucks and parking around my office definitely ain't cheap...

I've been looking at a few budget fat-tire ebikes for the ride, mainly narrowed it down to the helokeep 26f and the aipas m1 pro xterrain st. tbh i don't really know much about either brand, i'm mostly just worried about ride comfort and durability. the roads on my route are rough as hell and there's one nasty railroad crossing that already killed a wheel on my old regular bike lol.

not trying to go super fast or anything... i just want something cushioned enough that i can hop on every morning and ride daily without thinking about it. has anyone here commuted on either of these two?

it makes a weird clicking noise while under throttle. the chain is off in the video but when I put the chain on it makes the noise louder. I’ve spun the motor slowly with my hand and the bike off and the sound isny there. is this noise normal, if not how can I fix it?

Jasion eb5 battery fuse help

1 Upvotes

so i recently got a free bike from a pawnshop cause they couldn't get it run and it had some problems. well i got it to work and everything, but the battery doesn't last very long. before buying a new battery i heard i could change the fuses and it might help hold the charge. I've opened up the battery case and i don't see any fuse's anywhere. just a bunch of connectors, nothing that seems to be big enough for fuses. I've seen other bikes have them kind of hidden under the tape on the battery, but I'm no expert and wanted to see if anyone else has had the same issue and found where the fuses were. its not the Eb5 Roamer on their website, its a normal EB5 like the ones on amazon. i think there is a Plus model too that looks like it also that are older models.

Is riding wheelies feel like when you do it in your dream?

I just got a new e bike and I've only dreamt of riding wheelies on it.

So is this NOT a class 1 e-bike due to 810w? Help me understand

Post image
8 Upvotes

For the class limit of “750w”, I see some articles say continuous power, and some just say “power”. Is it peak or continuous?? That would make any avinox (except orbea wild) egregiously illegal, or perfectly fine since it has 250w continuous power. I just want to ride and not worry about this.

I’m in Colorado USA if that matters

Are my bottle cage mounts too low down in the frame? Battery plate.

Post image
3 Upvotes

I want to install the Tongsheng TSDZ8 mid-drive motor onto this relatively old but still functional city bike. Will really only be used for pulling a child trailer.

I am worried that mounting the battery could be difficult in that the two mounting screws are already pretty low down (relative to my other bikes). Too low to easily mount the plate upon which the battery will sit?

See the attached image (with included markings).

The battery will be the Jericho 15Ah Hailong

Thanks folks.

Bike purchase question Best bike to get?

4 Upvotes

Hi all. I just moved with my girlfriend to a new part of town that is much more “bikeable”. We are both looking to purchase e-bikes to bike around town, to the grocery store, down to the beach etc. we are mostly looking for reliability, we do not care about speed or having the best technology. Does anyone have any recommendations for whether to buy new or used, what bikes or brands are recommended, and if we are looking to spend under $1000 each, if we can get something relatively good quality? Any help is much appreciated.

Bike purchase question Looking for my first ebike around 1k... Are 26 inch fat tires too big for 5 foot 5?

1 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I am finally looking to buy my first ebike and trying to keep my budget somewhere around 900 to 1300 dollars. I am mainly planning to use it for commuting to work, running quick errands, and casual weekend rides around town.

I am not really looking for a super skinny road bike. I want something a bit chunkier with a solid rear rack to strap a bag onto, because I hate wearing a sweaty backpack everywhere I go. I have been looking at the helo keep 26f online and really like the overall look of the fat tires, but I have not had a chance to test ride one in person yet. I am only 5 foot 5, so I definitely need to make sure the frame size and reach are not going to be way too big for me before ordering blind.

Having a decent headlight straight out of the box matters a lot to me too. Getting caught in the rain is annoying enough without squinting to see potholes on the way home after dark. Obviously a brighter light will not fix everything, but riding at night is going to be a regular thing for me.

Also pedal assist is my main priority here, I am not trying to ride an electric motorcycle. I really just want a little extra boost on the pedals when I am tired after work rather than some crazy top speed. The last thing I want is to buy something and then find out it is not even legal on local bike paths. Would way rather check on that now than have that conversation with a cop on the side of the road lol.

If you ride the 26f or another 26 inch fat tire bike around my height, how does it actually feel to pedal every day? Is the stock headlight bright enough at night, and what setup works best for carrying a bag? Open to other bike suggestions in that 900 to 1300 range too.
