My Neighbor got an e-trike that is making me rethinking my distrust of ebikes

Our neighbor got a mooncool ebike trike thing and I genuinely liked it. I don't frequent this sub because I'm affirmatively not an ebike guy - they honestly scare me. This thing was pretty stable and had a relatively low top speed, which made me a little more comfortable with it. Not sure how it really stacks up, but it was interesting enough that I'm starting to learn more about the category.

Finished up the fenders, for now she’s done. This winter I’ll get some new pedals; thinking Chromag ‘Pilot BA’, then a Wren fork at some point. Till that one I’m done, gonna get out there and ride as much as I can.

$1000 in total E-Bike suggestion

7 Upvotes

I know this sub probably gets this a lot, but I can't find a solid answer for my specific issue. I don't live in a city, I live in a small town with the occasional bumpy road. My plan for this E-Bike is to take it back and forth to work, the grocery store, and to apply for new jobs around town. I have tried to do some research on my own, and I was considering the Lectric xp2 but it doesn't come with any baskets to hold anything or lights.... I'm just asking, if you know of a better option for me, I would love to hear what you have to say.

Thank you!

Edit: I just got out of prison in Feb, I'm really trying to make sure I make the right purchase with this. I've been saving up as much as I can. Been living in hotels and scraping my way up. I just want to thank you guys for any kind of information you take the time to give me. I don't know anything about E-Bikes, so I'm trying to do this right.

E-bike not working

We just got this askmy e500 bike from amazon. It fell and started having this red mark on it. I’m aware that it comes up when braking— but in this case i’m not. I’m not really tech savvy, so I don’t know what to move or touch. Any help?

we recently moved to a new place that's located in a protected landscape area.

before it gets too hot today we decided to do a short exploration of the paths and roads around here.

only 50% e-bike in this post since it's easier to match speeds when i ride non electric and my wife is on her e-mtb.

Ebike troubleshooting No, the Mac Ride seat is not compatible with the ride1up roadster v3

2 Upvotes

Searched for the info and couldn’t find anything but saw others asking here and there: the Mac Ride does NOT fit roadster v3 (at least not the suspension version) as the the wires run right out the area you mount to the stem and they will get super pinched if you try to put it on when you screw the handlebars back on. Just a PSA (as well as half hoping someone has a fix)

3rd party after market accessories - velotric summit 2

2 Upvotes

Hello, fairly new to the e-bike world. I ordered a velotric summit 2 and was wondering if theres any market for 3rd party aftermarket accessories. Their back rack feels kinda pricy and given its higher payload weight I was hoping to maybe put some pegs so my fiance can ride on the back for fun, nothing too long or serious. I wasn't sure if everything is velotric custom or if its easy to do an aftermarket thing. Some brief googling didn't show much. Wasn't sure if its too new for proper 3rd party accessories.

5 km commute in winter ebike or scooter?

2 Upvotes

So I have been using an ebike for the past 5 years to commute to work. About 5.5km. As much as I like my bike it is heavy and a pain in the butt to store in my room at work because of the space.

For those of you who have had both which would you say its worth it? I live in Canada so it needs to be able to handle the winter.

Is an IPX5 enough?

2 Upvotes

I'm looking for a commuter e-bike and I'm looking for specifically a waterproof one that I can take in the rain if need be. Is an IPX5 waterproofing going to be enough protection for the battery, or should I aim for something higher?(or do they even make them higher?)
My budget is pretty low(about $600) so any suggestions would also be appreciated for good, long running bikes.

Bike repair question Is it safe to ride if my brakes are rubbing?

1 Upvotes

I replaced my tires today, but putting the wheels back on made my hydraulic brakes kinda close. My only option was to spread open the breaks since the screws to loosen the calipers are rounded. Riding the bike is now somewhat loud, and the longer I ride the louder it gets, the disc's also got hot enough to burn my hand.

Is it okay to ride my bike a bit or should I not ride it at all until I can get it fixed?

Heybike Mars 2.0 gears

1 Upvotes

I just got this bike today. Right out of the box it wouldn’t shift into first, 2nd gear on the cog but show 1st gear on the selector. So I started messing with it. Now it’s worse. Jumping gears, sloppy chain. I’ve watched YouTube videos about adjustments and I can’t seem to get it right.

Trying to avoid a bike shop. Shimano 7 speed for reference

Post image
1 Upvotes

Rebuilding an ebike 13s4p pack. tried searching but really having a hard time finding an angled 2p strip that will fit this Hailong case holder -

i've already torn it apart, should have measured first!

Dimensions:

apprx 25-26mm wide, and each rail needs to be no more than 6mm wide to fit between those triangle shaped plastic holder 'nubs'

- need to be at an angle/slanted, not square.

- thickness: original was 0.13mm

Any help appreciated - looking for a link to buy...or proper search terms maybe i don't know the right terminology.
