whatever caught fire looks to have been on the rack at the back of the bike.........its not a mid drive motor and does not look like a hub motor either so maybe not an ebike at all. Probably a modified Tesla :p :ROFLMAO:

they will fix better if the area to which they are applied is thoroughly cleaned with IPA before applying them

I have said before that the stress applied to the clamp and the subsequent damage it suffers, is the result of the battery not being properly secured............not the reason for the overall problem. One reason the various zip tie lashing DIY fixes work is that it prevents sideways...

I guess it depends on whether you have conical washers connecting the calliper to the adapter...or not. The conical washers allow angular adjustment. Without those you are stuck with only lateral adjustment of the calliper on the adapter/post mount.

Post mounts? Ie the mounting points integral to the fork, or the post mount adaptor?

.....except a lbs/spesh may take a different view in the unfortunate event of a warranty claim.

it does not switch the motor off, it cuts the motor support. Your bike is an EPAC and just like every legal EPAC the nominal power output of the motor is restrcited to 250 w ( although not the max output which can be up to 550 w), and assisted speed is restricted to 20 mph iin your neck of the...

how do you know it is due to wiring?? Very unlikely on a new bike. Known issues are failing to properly insert the battery and close the latch, and low battery charge in the LED Remote. The latter should have been charged by the LBS before handing the bike over to you. Once properly charged the...

"Masochist setting"?

I only ever watched Doddy who was seriously knowledgeable. I saw the same decline with Windsurfing mags and yt channels once the initial period of rapid development of kit slowed down and the sport matured. There is still plenty to talk a bout and to lobby for in the world of EMTB but that is...

ok good. Use it like that for now but you adjuster is probably almost completely unscrewed so I suggest you adjust the cable tension after the next few rides. To do that, adjust your barrel adjuster so that it is only about 3 clicks out from fully in. Put the bike in its highest gear ( smallest...

16kg difference is not going to be due to carbon wheels! I can only assume the 2 high end Levos have sacrificed durability for light weight in terms of the frame construction/ layup. Whichever you have ( Sworks or Pro) your bike is also one heck of a financial investment to risk. So my advice...

it also has an off button:cool: ..or.........I also have a Nokia...battery lasts a bout 2 months!! and it weighs not much more than a credit card!! Progress my ass!

I think part of the problem here is that we are working with a nascent technology as far as the battery is concerned. Lithium battery technology is fine for small devices but too heavy and expensive for bikes....and potentially dangerous. For cars etc it is a complete joke! The principles and...

"Best" requires a lot of qualification! 1. Performance on the trail Obviously a primary requirement is how the bike performs on the trail but the type of riding we each do varies quite a bit, so what might impress impress one may not impress another. The frame design and geo are certainly...

on the other hand there are so many sales that you could probably get a bike close to your proposed final build for £3500!!

one alternative to a chainsaw is a reciprocating battery operated saw. Not as capable as a chainsaw but with the right blade can deal with c 6 inch diameter ( 150mm) and is fairly easy to carry in a backpack. Fairly cheap to buy as well..c £80 upwards. On our last trip to our favourite local...

I always set my bars with the highest rise perpendicular to the ground. If you set the bars in line with the head angle you are reducing reach, reducing the effective rise of the bars. Some may prefer that but it also changes the intended sweep of the bars.

Good to know especially as I use very nearly the same pressures as that. My main reason for the change is that my DHR11 is fairly worn now after 850 miles and whereas it used to clear mud ( certainly better than the Assegai on the front) it now clogs up a lot. This has also been a particularly...

In my experience with each of the emtbs I have used, with both Brose and Bosch motors, the typical range I get is not simply determined by which modes I use, but rather by being able to maintain a cadence of c 70rpm and maintaining the momentum of the bike. That means not only using the gears...
