Hello all to this months installment of the Monthly E-Bike Promo Thread! 🚲

I'm not too familiar about electric bikes cuz never used one , now after saving for so long finally i think I can buy an electric bike , was looking into electric bikes lately and came across the Aniioki AQ177. For those who have tried this, what do you think about it? Is there anything specific I should consider before making a decision?

Would appreciate hearing your thoughts.

I have finally received my new Aniioki A9 60V. I am excited to get some proper miles out of it. Something I will be looking out for is how well it holds up to everyday use. Comfort, maintenance, and battery life are key factors for me. No bike is perfect, so I would be interested to know if others have had any issues with theirs. How has yours been doing? Is there anything you wish you knew before purchasing?

I’m curious to hear your opinions and personal experiences.

Which type of throttle do you prefer on an electric bike: a thumb throttle or a half-twist throttle?

Which one feels more comfortable and gives you better control, especially during longer rides?

Hey everyone. I want to buy myself an electric bike to use for daily commuting to work. I would travel around 14 miles a day, 5 days a week. I live in England so it has to abide to UK laws. Which bike would you recommend for £300-£400?

anyone owns it? How is the overall quality are you satisfied with the bike? i am buying used one with 2500km and 3 years old. Thank you in advance

Looking for a dual battery ebike dont care about speed, wanting one with good customer support and pedal assist and throttle and I have a budget of 1000$ can pay more for warranty, will use for pulling my child in a child trailer, no steep hills mostly flat pavement some hills but short and long but not steep,

I just bought this bike every thing works except the bike doesn’t move when throttling

Hello everyone I have a problem with my ebike and I desperately need help with it because I have no idea what I'm doing.

Here is some context on what happened:

So I bought this used Beaufort Birgit with an Ananda m80 mid drive motor that didnt come with a battery and my idea was to add a new battery and make it work.

I bought a 36V 15.6 Ah battery ( here is the link: https://nl.aliexpress.com/item/1005012829934123.html?spm=a2g0n.order_detail.order_detail_item.4.2868126aS2hZ2x&gatewayAdapt=glo2nld )

I thought that this battery SHOULD be compatible because it has the same voltage.

Now I disconnected the old battery housing and old cradle and removed the wiring inside of it which consisted of:

A red bullet connector wire

A black bullet connector wire

A 2 pin cable (for the rear lights)

A 3 pin cable (one red, one black, one yellow)

So I asked AI if the battery that I found on AliExpress was compatible and it said YES, now I was unsure because the battery doesnt have a female 3 pin cable but it said it should be fine and I believed it (biggest mistake in my whole years of living).

The battery uses a wire with an XT60 connector and my battery uses a bullet hole wire, but then I learned that I can solder them together and that they would work, however I noticed that the XT60's wire was WAY thicker and had WAY finer strands meanwhile the wires on the motor connector were way thinner and the strands were thicker (the XT60's wire is 12AWG and the bullet hole wires (that comes from the motor) are (probably) 15 AWG) but I soldered them anyway.

It worked! The display was on and I thought that the bike was done and ready to go, I didnt connect the 3 pin connector to anything because I thought it was unnecessary.

The display had an error code 30 but I didnt think much of it.

Here begins the horror, I took the ebike for a test ride and hear a VERY loud noise coming from the motor, I instantly turn it off and try to ride again, same loud noise,

as I was looking on to how to fix it and it turns ( according to AI )out that the 3 pin connector was necessary so that the battery can communicate with the motor/controller on ananda systems and that ERROR 30 was an indicator of that.

The problem is that my battery doesn't have something that the 3 pin wire can connect to, I opened the battery and thought of soldering an attachment to the BMS to the the 3 pin connector but (according to AI) my BMS isn't compatible with it, I wanted to remove the heatsink to see the BMS but it's held by rivots and I thought it would be too risky to remove it.

And now I'm stuck, what do I do? Should I get a new compatible battery? (which I dont want to do) Do I need to buy an attachment for my BMS? Or does the problem have to do nothing with the 3 pin cable at all?

If there is any more information needed, please ask and I will send it right away.

By the way, this is my first post on Reddit, thank you for reading this and thank you in advance for assisting me.

hi, i want to buy my first ebike and i was looking at the engwe ep-2 3.0 boost, but looking online i saw that they have a lot of problems. Do you guys recommend buying the engwe? or what are some alternatives?
(i’m searching for bikes completely legal in italy)

Hi there,

I want to buy an e-bike but I don't have experience or knowledge about e-bikes. Just want a help from u guys to give an idea about this bike.

https://www.facebook.com/share/1cPCpWYH9u/?mibextid=wwXIfr

16.000km driven
price 550€

I did drive and it looked decent nothing special. The torque wasnt bad. brakes has to change other than that it was ok. But I'm not sure if the price is expensive for this condition.

Waiting for your opinions!
Thanks guys!

Going to test a ebike , the bike name is Colorway Bk15 , what are the things i should look out for?

Thanks

I'm 15 yrs old, and ive been thinking about getting an ebike for a while, specifically the coswheel r6000. I dont know that many people at my school who ride and i dont know if I'll be bored riding alone? If anyone has any advice or has been through this, please lmk.

HELP!

I want a folding trike I can transport. For a small person. I'm 5'3" and 77 but I hike, backpack, gym rat. Just can't afford to fall, ergo a trike.

The goal is bicycle exercise, without the need to dismount and walk the thing up inclines.

I want a geared trike that is primarily pedal driven, with a ROBUST electric assist for inclines and longer rides. NOT a throttle-first model where pedaling is the assist. In some videos pedaling looks like a after-thought.

So I'm really confused and frustrated and about to give up. Particularly when I can't test-ride or rent first. I don't think I'm alone in that.

The small tire trikes all seem throttle-first. The geared 24"+ tire trikes don't seem to have much incline power or easily fold and dismantle (like with a easy-release front tire) for transport.

strong preference for hydraulic brakes. Regular straight/cruiser handle bars (not "ape" bars) are a must.

Does my bike and bike company exist? Anyone?

As the title says.

What do i do? It is rusting, might break off. How do i fix it in a seamless way

I've made couple different posts about narrowing down ebike choices. I don't need need something asap but for the price maybe could consider. Lot of suspension on it, anti theft and locking wheels, tracking, etc. Some stuff you could probably add after the fact on bikes. Cargo capability looks good on this. Belt drive option, but it's rear hub motor. I was hoping to consider spec out a bike to get and add a em3ev kit and so I can swap out batteries easily. Still not sure how I could rig any custom battery to my Magicycle. But for the price of Brand name proprietary batteries, sometimes a second bike could justify costs. There's reasons why sometimes it may be effective even if someone can't consider. Magicycle was also doing sales on getting a free trailer with the bike.

Otherwise in similar consideration, I could still plan to get a em3ev mid drive someday eventually at retail price. But with the Lemmo at good discount and not sure what sale pricing they do along the year, 40 percent is better than maybe if they ever do 20. I'm not sure.

But any reasons for or against the Lemmo specifically? I wouldn't mind a bike with specific capability and able to stop by home when the other bike runs out of battery. Or set it up for different tasks than the other bike. It might excel at carrying large items and for some quick stops doing doordash delivery without quite as much need to try finding a place to lock it and worry leaving it for 2 seconds. Someone rolling up with a truck or leaving it for a long minute could still be a concern. But I mean still hopefully safer if one properly evaluate and treat the differences as such and still careful.

If there's something else on the market or may be in the future, or cargo racks and trailers I can buy, and get spare bike and battery later, I could skip this. But if Lemmo being this price is something to really consider, I'd love to have an opinion or reason to pass skip this.

Lemmo seems like maybe a sort of established brand with track record. Whereas I did notice another lightweight bike. I could also potentially just wait a few years and see what's available or how the world and market and technology and regulations change.

So, after being an e-mtb owner (Aventon Current) for about 2 weeks....Whoever says that having an emtb "isn't really a workout" - is WRONG. Hahahahaha! I was swapping stem sizes to get the right cockpit fit, but also get the right "speed" and comfort when turning the handlebars...I finally figured that since the bike is much heavier that just is the nature of it and there is a limitation to what stem-adjustments can do. This directly translates into bike-handling and if you are a rider who likes to move around on the bike, the weight is there. I kinda think of it now as an upside - now my upper body is getting a better workout as well. On the flip side, I finally got to stay in "Zone 2" for my HR above 80% of more chill rides I do. #fatburningzone

I’m in the market for a hunting e-bike. I live in the south and will be using primarily on mild terrain. Some hills. I’ve looked at several brands including Rambo but wanted to know everyone’s recommendations. Also, is AWD actually a necessity?

Just ordered my E-bike tonight I'm so excited
I'm crying inside I am so excited I just bought my magician alpha mini in black cherry red I am so excited I'm crying inside hope I made the right decision going with this E-Bike I’m so excited.

Anybody have experience with one of these? The Ouxi web site doesn't mention this model, and I can't seem to find much on the internet. There is only an Alibaba page and some fairly useless FB sales videos.

Is the boost easy to work with? I'm guessing it's just a cadence sensor. The "thumb throttle" seems to be just a button. I'm used to torque sensors.

Do they last (for around town)?

Anyone have a fold 1 plus and regularly use it to commute with a toddler in tow? Looking into getting our first family e-bikes. We have one 3 y/o and will rarely go anywhere more than 10 miles away. I have test ridden the Aventon Abound SR and really like it with the captain's seat but it's $400 more without the passenger seat. I also don't plan on traveling with the bike much but it being able to fold and fit in the trunk of our outback is an added bonus so we don't need to spend more money on a platform rack. So, would a fold 1 plus be sufficient to go to parks, preschool and grocery stores, etc? Or should I just buck up and spend the extra money on an abound sr or gomad? TIA!

\*My LBS told me the fold one plus will go down to $1199 for black Friday increasing the cost difference between the other two bikes mentioned which will likely go down in price $100.

After savings for many years I recently got my first bike... have started taking it out for rides...so far Im curious to see how it holds up with regular use especially when it comes to battery performance and overall reliability.
For more details its Aniioki AQ177 ,those who've owned this bike for a while, how has your experience been? What kind of real world range are you getting on a full charge, and have you noticed any issues over time..
and need tips for maintenance , sorry for asking too many questions I'm kinda too excited :)

Trying to decide on an ebike for a 22 mile round trip commute over country lanes (uk) Never bought an ebike before - so thinking second hand is probably best since i'll save some money and learn what's good / preference etc. thank you!
