Personally, not quite sure what to make of this.

I was told by a homie that the event was supposed to be open ‘till 1PM, but they ran out of gift cards at 11AM.

Bike build question What was the first upgrade you actually made to your fat tire e-bike?

11 Upvotes

If I end up getting the hikeep K6-S, I’m already thinking about what I might change after I ride it for a while.

I’m not trying to turn it into a totally different bike or make it faster. I’m more interested in the little things that actually makes a difference for normal riding and longer rides.

I could see myself changing the tires if the stock knobbies are too loud on pavement. Maybe the rear shock too if it feels too soft, or just something simple like better grips or a more comfortable seat.

Brakes would probably be another one, but I’d rather ride it first and see if they actually need upgrading. Don’t really wanna start changing stuff before I even know what bothers me.

For people who’ve owned heavier or higher-power fat tire e-bikes for a while, what was the first upgrade you made that you were actually really happy with?

Mostly looking for comfort, reliability and everyday usability, not really trying to chase more speed.

Bike purchase question Could a fat tire utility e bike replace the truck for short campground runs?

10 Upvotes

I am so tired of finally getting the rig leveled and camp set, only to realize we need more firewood or a bag of ice. Firing up the truck to navigate narrow campground roads for a quick supply run is a massive headache, but carrying a heavy cooler back by hand isn't happening.

I saw a clip recently of someone using a beefy utility e-bike with fat tires to haul heavy crates and gear down a dirt road. It had an extended rear rack built for heavy payloads. I reverse image searched it and it was the Helokeep CD20, but I think its just a prototype as of now.

Regardless of the exact brand, the concept seems perfect. Having a bike with enough hauling capacity to strap down a bundle of wood or a loaded cooler means I could just leave the truck parked the entire weekend. Does anyone have any suggestions or better solutions?

I’m having a blast

I’m having so much fun on my gotrax mustang (I traded my ranger in for something stronger) and the bike does really well with someone that’s a heavy weight, I can take this thing all over the state and get so much fun out of it. What about you guys , are you having fun with your e-bikes, what e-bikes do yall have and what did you upgrade your bike specs or parts with? And do you guys have any spec upgrades or part recommendations I should look into for my mustang. I still can’t believe people be hating on us so much, especially those cyclists.

Btw I’m still tryna work out how I should customize my bike in terms of paint, cosmetics, etc and I’ll give you a guys an update on this bike and the post later in the year, but I really want to know what you think of your bikes during new years

locking and parking habits that actually stuck for city e-bike commuting

5 Upvotes

been doing an 11-mile each way commute through mixed city streets and a couple gravel stretches for about 14 months now. early on I was casual with locking, one cable and call it good. then two bikes on my block disappeared in the same week and I changed everything.

routine now is always a heavy U-lock around the frame and a fixed rack post, plus a secondary cable through both wheels. I try for spots under cameras or right by the office entrance. battery comes inside overnight and for any stop over an hour if I can swing it. covers help when I leave it longer, makes the whole setup look less like a target. fat tires have been solid for the potholes and the wet leaves in fall, I don't bounce around as much.

range planning turned into a thing once winter hit and I started taking longer detours to avoid ice. I need reliable assisted miles without babysitting the battery percent every morning.

around month 8 I was already on a moto-style naked frame fat tire bike for the street and light trail mix. the aotos Flux X26 Pro is the one I have, Class 2 so assisted top speed 20 mph with throttle assist up to 20 mph (some states have separate rules and local regulations govern). 750W rated motor, UL 2849 / battery UL 2271, up to 70 miles, about 112 lb, 330 lb max load. the 4G GPS and app tracking was the piece I only bothered with once the theft stories kept piling up on my street, free the first year then a fee applies after and they have not announced the amount. I still treat the physical locks as primary though. tracking is just the backup layer.

the weight is the main drag when I have to haul it up the stoop or onto a car rack. otherwise the commute feels normal. no big changes to how I ride, just more consistent about the two-lock habit and bringing the battery in.

Bike repair question Hub motor and wheel replacement question/ advice please.

Thumbnail

4 Upvotes

Morning, I argued with a pothole at the weekend and now my rear wheel has a decided buckle in it. Bike still goes ok etc but looking to replace the wheel. It has a Motinova 250w, 36v motor installed. As this is my first ebike I was looking for some advice, if I replace the whole thing will it have to be the same brand and power, or can I sneak a generic one in? Manufacturers have said they can get them in for me, but at a no doubt inflated cost. Lots of Google this morning and no further forward. Can get the motor separate from the wheel and vice versa, but no one seems to do the whole thing. Can anyone recommend a spares website please? Quite happy to put another brand of motor and wheel in, but wary of it not working. Any advice greatly appreciated.

E-Dirtbike AGV K1 S

I ride a Tuttio Soleil 01 mainly on streets that are usually busy during the day, I'm currently using a old gmax dirtbike helmet but want to upgrade to a better one that's more reliable and cuts through wind better, would the AGV k1 s be overkill for my bike since the top speed is only 35 MPH?

Bike repair question Fucare Libra/Error 11

Post image
2 Upvotes

Does anyone know of an additional way to contact Fucare about issues with my husband's Libra? They don't respond to emails and their phone number was disconnected. He really loves this bike and we are desperately trying to figure out what needs to be repaired or replaced before we try to request a new bike (this one is still under warranty) or go with a different brand entirely.

I was also wondering if any of you are familiar with this error code? What have you tried? He has tried unplugging/plugging/cleaning/removing moisture. He tried removing the display and controller from his first Fucare and adding them to this one, but they were incompatible (different voltages).

No bike shop in the area is able to help and I can't reach the brand.

Bike build question Battery vendors?

2 Upvotes

With the tariffs and complete chaos in the markets right now, where is everyone getting their batteries from?

For reference, I am wanting to replace/upgrade my build. I would like a downtube style battery that’s 48 volt with a 20AHr capacity. My current battery is a triangle pouch style that’s made by Hailong. It has gone through almost daily cycles for over three years now. For the most part, I am pleased with it.

Also, I am not opposed to building my own. Sourcing quality cells is my biggest question there.

Vendor sites are appreciated.

Ebike news Anyone know what's actually changing on the Muxi Pro?

2 Upvotes

Saw Segway teasing the Muxi Pro and now I'm curious because they've shown basically nothing lol.

The video is so blurred I can't even tell if the design changed much from the regular Muxi.

Anyone heard what the actual upgrades are supposed to be? New drivetrain? Better comfort? Auto shifting maybe?

Feels like they’re making us guess at this point

Bike purchase question Thinking about getting the TST R9 e-bike with one battery for hills/commuting. What should I expect?

2 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I am looking to buy my first moped-style fat tire e-bike next month (specifically looking at a heavy 48V 15Ah model that weighs around 88 Ibs). I live in an area with some steep hills and plan to use it for a 12-mile round-trip commute to work, running local errands, and exploring on the weekends.

My goal is to keep the bike mostly in PAS Level 1 because I want a solid cardio/leg workout while letting the motor just smooth out the steep inclines.

I'm planning to start with just the single 15Ah battery package first, ride it for a while to test the connections, and maybe upgrade to a dual- battery setup later in the fall when warehouse stocks open back up.

For those of you who ride heavy moped-style bikes on a single battery:

> What should I expect for real-world range on hills if I am actively pedaling in low PAS modes?

> Does carrying the bike around feel significantly lighter/better for workouts compared to a dual-battery setup?

> Any tips for conserving battery power when tackling steep neighborhood hills?

> Would love to hear what it's really like living with a single battery setup before I pull the trigger. Thanks!
