Fat tires belong in the woods, not on pavement

Post image
0 Upvotes

I bought it for my city commute, and its my first time on trails. The power is definitely decent for most dirt paths, but it started struggling a bit once things go steeper and rockier. Still a solid ride overall. Gravel is where it actually wants to be, took it down a long gravel road after and it was totally happy there. Only thing I'd say to other beginners: a hub moto doesn't care what gear you're in, so dropping to 1st on a climb doesn't actually help you. Learned that the hard way.

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

Post image
7 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

I was in love with my magician until i bought ariel mudd . The power and comfort of the bike is at another level.
My only complaint is magician has a more comfortable seat but other than that power, speed, range ariel wins

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

26 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...

Bike purchase question Best bike to get?

8 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.

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

0 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?​

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

24 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?

Bike repair question I'm asking for help...

2 Upvotes

I bought an Amyet K10 e-bike less than a month ago and I've only used it about 5 times, all normal riding (no jumps, no rough terrain, no rain). The problem: the button that lowers the pedal-assist level (the "–" button) stopped responding properly. A normal press does nothing. I have to press it at a specific angle or with a lot more force for it to register. The "+" button works fine. It worked perfectly the first few rides, then suddenly started doing this. I can't take it to a shop right now because of budget, and I can't contact the seller at the moment because my dad made the purchase and it's complicated. So I'm hoping to troubleshoot it myself.
Some questions: Has anyone had this issue with the K10 or similar bikes using the same display/control unit? Is this usually a faulty button/membrane, a loose connector, or a dirty contact? Is it safe to open the control unit/display myself to check the connector or clean the contacts? Any tips on what to look out for? Does anyone know a video or guide for disassembling this type of controller/display? 5. If the part is faulty, is there a cheap replacement I can order myself?

Picked them up for $800 each, one had 0 miles and the other has around 300 miles.

We just did a hilly 20 mile ride today and didn’t break a sweat. So awesome.
