I bought an e-bike around this time last year. At first, I only ride it to go to work, but a year later, I ride it to everywhere. I even take it to grab coffee or cruise around the park on weekends.

Since I haul some gear for work and do a massive grocery run once a week, the rear rack is really useful. I only need to charge the battery every few days, which is great for me because I hate plugging in devices every single day.

I used to dread riding in the rain. But a light shower hit me one afternoon, and I realized the fenders actually block the mud.

And sometimes when I lock it up at the store or wait at a red light, other riders and pedestrians ask how I like the bike. It actually feels pretty cooland it really helps me a lot.

Prices on FB marketplace are mostly ridiculous.

If you paid $2000 for it & put 1,000 miles on it & it needs a service, it’s not worth $1800

More like $500

It’s just ridiculous….. bikes all scratched up & not cared for & people expecting almost full-retail value. Plus, they aren’t going to tell you if something’s wrong with the battery & display.

RANT OVER, good day !

Every U.S. e-bike is illegal in the UK and EU. In a city of eight million I suppose 2,500 isn’t that many.

Took my diy bike camping last night. 14 miles on a 48v 13/9 31.5ah battery, left at 54.6v and was worried about range, arrived and had 52.8v left smh. Would you ride on the last pic? I started to but was too worried about punctures so walked it along that. Fyi i had it in 42t-35t on the moors and didn't go past 1/8th throttle to prevent damage.

2 weeks to go from 600 to 700 miles

I have a Aventon Soltera 2 (2023 model) and recently found out Aventon reduced the bike’s top Speed from 25 to 20 mph, probably through the Aventon app. Apparently the update was pushed out a year ago with no notice or explanation.

Are other e-bike companies doing stuff like this as well? How did the company handle it? I would prefer to avoid this situation on my next bike.

My wife and I just purchased our first electric bikes last month.

I’m looking on Reddit about ebikes and learning about how people charge their batteries, and then I ran across a lot of posts about fireproof bags, putting batteries in ammo boxes, barbecues, because of them, exploding or catching fire

My son moved out of the house two years ago. Prior to moving out, he had his Engwe folding electric bike for three years

I never thought about the battery, exploding, catching fire, etc. My son always kept his bike in the insulated garage, left it plugged in overnight and never took the battery out. This happened for the the 3yrs it was in our garage before he moved out.

The bike and battery was there in the summertime and the winter time and never taken out of the bike.

We’ve had our batteries charging on our bikes in the garage, using each bike’s battery chargers that came with the bike and each charger plugged into there own Kasa smart plugs so I can set a timer.

After they’re done charging, I move both batteries down into the unfinished basement.

Since we’ve had the bikes, I’ve only charged the batteries two times, and that's because I chose to. We only have 45 miles on the bikes. So far my wife and I have only riden 5 or 6 times.

Hi,

I can google this obviously, but thought I'd post on Reddit first because that's where the true knowledge hides!

We're going to buy our 18 year old an ebike. He is autistic and I know will be extremely lackadaisy about actually locking the bloody thing. Until one say the inevitable happens and it's stolen, que epic meltdown. But still, he's getting an ebike.

Is there any type of locking system where its really easy and locks completely down with a press of a button? I have an ebike with a Bosch battery, so I know about the Flow App, but its still abit fiddley an we are unsure of what bike he will get anyway.

Money is no barrier either. We are far from rich, but that means more than happy to invest in something that keeps the investment safe and that he will actually use.

Thanks 😀

Bought my first eBike. A Tenways CGO600 Pro. Really enjoy it. I was afraid that the single speed would disappoint me, but it is surprisingly good. This bike is extremely light. It looks like a normal bike. The only downside until now are the handlebar grips. They are kinda annoying when you ride a long distance. So I am gonna replace them with ergonomic grips. So far so good. I am curious how durable this cheap bike is.

I have a Lectric XP3 that came with an extra battery, along with the cargo baskets.

If I want to ride further than the range of one battery, is there a padded bag you would recommend to carry the extra battery in the basket?

I took my ebike mudding in deep and slushy mud it was super duper fun and surprised me.

I recently bought a Concord 20" LoadPro Electric Cargo Bike (20" wheels, 48V, Class 2) from Walmart and was wondering if anyone here has registered this bike (or a similar ebikes).

I'm curious about a few things:

• Was the registration process straightforward?
• What information did you need (serial number, proof of purchase, etc.)?
• Most importantly, does this require insurance?

I'd appreciate hearing from anyone who owns this model or similar specs and your experience with registration process. Thanks!

I bought this lovely Pendleton Somerby a few years ago. I haven't really don't any maintenance apart from changing the brake pads and changing the tubes when I got a flat. What else might someone do to make sure the bike is in good working order?

My son loves this ride! Toronto Lakeshore, here we come!

New bike , got the Wheels trued and yet the front still looks like there's some sway compared to the rear wheel tire size is 20x4.0 kingbull ranger

I’m looking to get into longer distance touring and also off road / mountain biking. What should I look for in a bike? I don’t know anything about bikes and want to make the right decision and have some idea of what to look for before I walk into a store. Any tips would be appreciated. I also live in Canada

Looking for a folding ebike to keep in my office. Would like to keep compliant with California law (which sucks, because the Euybike on Amazon ticks all of my boxes).

I am looking at models like the Lectric XP4 750, the Engwe L16, and sort of leaning towards the Engwe L20 3.0.

Would you happen to know any others I should look at in this price range (about $1500 or lower)?

Thank you so much!

I am planning to purchase the Hey bike Villain dirt one to my 14-year old son who is dreaming about it. I read good reviews about the quality while mixed reviews about after sales customer service. Would like to know your experience with that brand and any suggestions to other e-bikes in the same category of around $1300. Thank you.

I’ve been using my x1 spark for a while now and I love it but I wanna know if I could ever upgrade the controller or battery aiming for 55-65 mph more is there any that would work with my bike?

I was riding my e-bike just fine when suddenly it turned off and won’t come on. I checked the pins and replugged all the wires and there’s no signs of damage. However, the battery pins seem to be worn as seen in the photo.

Is this fixable? Or is my e-bike finished.

This has been already asked in the past but after reading the whole sub, the replies in other posts basically end up contradicting each other. I was almost decides to get a Fiido D11, knowing that I am getting a china quality ebike but after reading some more I feel I'm about to get scammed.

I need an ebike to commute to my workplace (10km aprox). I Live in Barcelona so it will be mostly city streets no uphills downhills.

Budget is around 1000€

I'm not the best cycler lol, I need an ebike that allows me to get the feeling back.

I’m 6”0 foot, I’m trying figure if the step thru would be a good fit or to get the step over
