    It is amazing what you get done. Especially with so few people. I gotta make a trip from Colorado to see your site someday. I try to ride my BlackBird everyday.

    Some provinces in Canada, not mine in Ontario, offer rebates for e bikes. Just curious if any states are doing the same.

    I will be ordering mine probably soon i dont want to miss another hunting season mine has been broken going on year 2. Got a ebay E bike that has zero support It broke 50 miles later and all i got was a pitch to buy a second battery (when the factory one was crap )
    the electric brain box connectors looked like they were sabotaged at the factory/ burned up the computer and now im trying to figure out where the last 6 wires go of the 20 😆 on the new one. This bike for some reason has tons more wires im about to strip it all down and start over.
    No diagrams ..nothing.
    Planning on opening another channel where we use ebikes to go in deep and set trail cams for Hairy-man.
    Hard to talk my buddies into one they see my bike and they think their junk.
    So Buy your bike from someone you can get support if its needed !

    Hey Kyle if you can tell me this then I will buy from you. Is there a way to turn a rear bafang hub motor wheel into a front motor wheel? Also are there basic monitor solutions to switch out for expensive bafang monitor systems? For instance a C961. Are there more basic models that can be used in place of that model?

    • @Area13ebikes
      @Area13ebikes  2 роки тому

      That depends on the bike and dropout of frame, etc. Typically a rear wheel is always wider than the front. A rear mountain bike wheel is the same as a front fat bike (135mm)

      Im tagging on to this comment. gas prices skyrocketing and the big push to eliminate petro fueled cars, but there's a problem. Our current electric infrastructure doesn't support that change to go all electric with cars, but, if people would consider an alternate to cars on short trips? Charging an ebike battery you won't see any difference on utillities. Maybe a dollar or two? would also like to know how to invest...
