I bought one of these (mini-bike style frame) without the rear suspension. I very quickly realized that it would beat me to death and was too hard on my back. I built a framework that I put between the seat and frame with stiff springs (automotive valve springs). That improved the ride immensely. It also raised the seat which made pedaling easier as well.
Good idea. I used a suspension seatpost and nicer seat on my DIY ebike build (it has front suspension already) and mostly it handles things just fine, but I still need to get up on the pedals for the big ruts or it will bottom out and fuck up my spine....currently healing very tenderly from such a rut and in need of a better suspension seat post.
Does it matter that much? I've always had push bikes without any rear suspension and they seemed fine. Is there a difference with a moped that means you need it, or is it just in general they're easier on the back?
Thank you for your grrreat service. You clarify all the craziness of the ebike world!
Liked the comparisons between the styles of ebikes, I recently bought a Himiway Cruiser Step-Thru after watching your videos (plus alot of other reviews). It is my first ebike and will replace a very aged (but loved) mountain style bike. I'm 73 and have ridden the regular bike on errands numerous times , but would like to go a little further for some errands and I think the ebike will help with this without tiring me out. Thanks for the great videos!!!
Love the e-mopeds! Thanks for doing a whole video on them! 🚴
Great video! Been collecting information for a while,this is very helpful and appreciated.
Great Review! You covered all angles of the pros and cons. I noticed most E bikes you always have a longer wait time for assembly and they sell out. This is the case for Himiway models. For now I will look out for lesser assembly time.
You are so handy. That was a great review. I have a Nakto Pony as my first ebike. I ordered a radrunner but had problems with order so I went with something more affordable. I love the electric ride. I started with one of those skateboards with a seat and handlebars. Im an older rider an this has bought cycling back to me. Has more virtues than a motorcycle. No registration- no gas. This is the wave of the future. Onward!
Nice video, appreciate the info on these style ebikes.
Really cool and informative video. Thanks so much. Your site makes it a one stop shop when deciding which bike to choose.
Great video! Always enjoy the content you put on her. Looking to buy myself another e-bike. The moped style really look intriguing.
These videos sure cheer the day!
I have an old school petrol moped bike that I want to convert into an e-bike, ur videos contain a lot of useful info that gonna aid me on my project, thanks
Moped style Ebikes are a game changer! Great review.
every episode is better than the next, this guy never fails to entertain me. thank you
Great to have your Ebike School informing us as to the reality of these style bikes. The industry embellishes and knowing truth over fiction (in some important areas) is important. Important because they cost so much! We need to know what we’re getting into. All your points were spot on. I have a Juiced Hyper Scorpion with no issues 8 months now. The range was not as advertised in the realistic sense. I have put a 52v 30ah battery on the rear in a Pelican hard case with a parallel on/off switch. Solves the range anxiety problem and as is with these bikes, allows the time to enjoy them fully.
I live in a mountainous area and have a somewhat similar bike from a competing brand, currently packing 76.8 Ah which on throttle-alone gets perhaps an anxiety-less 125 miles which is fine for most days but it's 45lbs of batteries and as-sold I should be getting 225 miles, I've been taking it in baby-steps because I won't be pushing this one up a mountain home... 🤗
Great video! Keep up the amazing work!
YesSiRr!! This is Definately one of the better once out there... thankz for the reviews bro.. your alwayz very informative and entertaining viewing!! Stay Bless and Stay Safe out there big FellA!!
Great informative video. Thanks! I'm looking to buy one of these moped style e-bikes soon.
Loving the videos, keep it up! 💪
Love watching your bike videos.
Great nice video
Im looking forward for more
Video tutorial
A lot of learning stuff
It helps me to foresee on what ebike design i am going to make
I am currently a college student,
But now im just watching, enjoying your videos!
😁😁
Hi I'm new to the channel but happy I found it thank you for all your time and wisdom
Next level E-peds. Nice video Micah.
always love the videos, every video i watch inches me towards wanting an ebike.
Hi there, I loved your information about e-bikes! Thanks a lot! May God bless you! 😃
Found your channel recently and love the videos
Good review, hope to getting one soon!
Thanks
Another great and informative video. Toda Raba!
Nice alternative way of transportation, and with all the fun that comes with it!
Great Review as always
So mad that the UA-cam alert did not let me know this video was available. Love learning about this stuff. About to purchase a bike in Italy. Trying to learn all I can before purchase.
Another great video full of facts, thanks!
Nice little quick guide.
Also another thing I am thinking about: I just saw a video about recycling companies that salvage the lithium and other elements out of spent batteries... When those elements get put into new/refurbished batteries, are they just as good as ones made with all new materials? Thanks!
Stay safe. I hope you are in the states right now!
New to your channel, great reviews and informative information, THX!
Awesome! Keep up the good work👍
I have a Addmotor M70 and I love it!😃 I have already put 400 miles on the E-bike and I just got it.
Great work bro and waiting to see video from Lifepo project.
Thank you for another great educational video.
I am liking the smaller utility cycles. Looking forward to their next advances.
Future goals is to have an eMoped, I dig the price point on the Himiway but like the looks of the Super 73. Thanks for the info!
Love your videos
Good stuff as usual. Thanks
I learned a lot. Thanks
Great content as always! Txs
Good presentation. Bike looks good.
:) Thank you for all the efforts you put into your videos.
Oh, I was wondering if you could help me? I'm trying to start a delivery business, and I'm having a difficult time figuring out which level electric bicycle I need. I'm here after watching your "How much power do you need" video, which was also VERY INFORMATIVE. I have been looking into some of the 48v-1000w fat tire bicycles, mostly because I'd rather have more than enough power, than not enough. Price has become more of a question since purchasing things to prepare for delivering. So I've been trying to figure out if I can get away with one of the 500w-750w to save a couple hundred dollars for other business needs. For the most part I plan to utilize the pedal-assist to help with the added cargo being hauled, not to get out of peddling entirely. I do have a couple of long (4 blocks long) hills (about 20-35 degrees, I think. ) in the area I plan to deliver in, but not certain I will ever have to deliver to those specific locations. I don't really know how much weight I will be hauling at any given time; but 200-300 (max) pounds (if possible), including trailer, keeps coming to mind. That number may lower if I'm able to get my business started and I actually get a feel for it, I just don't really have the funding to purchase an e-bike that I might not be able to use. Lol I understand if this is too big a pile to step in, I realize I'm asking a lot with few known factors. You seem to know more about e-bikes (definitely way more than I do.), and have experienced them first hand. I apologize, but would GREATLY APPRECIATE any insights you could offer.
I’ll have to give one of these a try. Looks fun. I hope to win a book also. Thanks for making the videos. Really enjoy them.
Checking out your review on Electrek! This e-bike looks decent.
Can you please make a video for what to choose for a diy ebike hub motor or mid drive ?
Nice explaination bro
Thanks for the info
Thank you! It was so hard to find any good Info like this about these moped style bikes. Was wondering if the smaller 20inch wheels make any difference compared to a 26 inch fat bike?
Cool range of bikes!
The larger ebikes and e-mopeds are really popular with delivery riders. They were rare a year ago and now they are everywhere.
More videos!! good job Micah.
One thing that's great is Juiced sells their raised seats. Great option for taller riders.
I watched all of your video, and you motivated me to build my own ebike, thank you for that.
It would be great to see your review of Vintage electric bike. Is that possible?
Very informative, I want one.
Your ebike book is awesome.
Great video! Thanks.
Very informative!
Hi Micah, can you make a video about silent ebikes, and maybe modifications you can make to make your ebike motor quieter? Thank you!
I just got a folding bike so this might be next on my list!
Interesting class of bikes. As you were talking about speed I wondered how much speed fades as the battery discharges. I built an electric motorcycle and the top speed on a fresh battery is much more than on a 50 pct discharged battery.
This is true. A full battery provides much greater acceleration and higher top speeds. I keep my battery above 50% at all times.
Great transportation, Micah!
Great info
great vid, thank you!
need youre help i have an ebe1 gotrax need it to go faster than 15.5 mph... any suggestions
Can you please recommend a full suspension 2 person e-bike thanks
Very informative! (Any progress on the Honda conversion?)
Does welding in series or in parallel increase the entire pack's discharge rate or is it still the individual cells' discharge maximum?
Parallel with the same unit you have half of the discharge rate. If you put in series you have double voltage but with same capacity
nice vid, infomative
I would love for the opportunity to read one of your books! I've been wanting to get into ebikes for a while now I would love to learn all about anything related to ebikes or electric power!
Have you used the Bolton 35A controller? If so, could you do a video about the settings? Thanks.
Fantastic video. How long does it hold a charge for? What kind of driving range does it have?
Important advice before buying, thanks
Hi Can I connect 1000watts controller to 750watts motor ? Pls. guide me thanks
Which is best for pedaling? Thanks!
Guys if anyone knows what would be the best in class for this style (mopedish) if you still wanted to also pedal or might need to if your power ran out? My best guess would be the Rad Runner Plus but I'd like to hear any suggestions.
On mid drive ebike, installing ebrake is a must?
Have you done review on Copenhagen wheel before if not could you make one? Thanks in advance!
Hey friend i love your videos,tnx for the helpful information.can you please tell me about the lgdbmh11865 cell how much discharge current this cell got ? I want to buy for e -scooter 48v 21 a and my controller have max current 25a.does it feet??? Tnx
hey Mike, awesome content. Is there a way to use the bike battery to charge your phone via micro usb or similar? I just got a BBSHD with a 52V 14s5p battery and looking for a way to do this
Just rode my first Ebike. Was really surprised and it was even a cheap one. Been looking at buying the Jupiter.
Where do I go to ask questions for your Video casts? I am looking for controller information and the differences of Sine wave controllers and non Sine Wave controllers. Thanks
Ty for the video
What are the difference between the normal bicycle spoke and some of the motorcycle like spoke?
I've taken my bike to REI a handful of times for help and they never charge me because I help them problem shoot and they always chock it up as a "learning experience" thank you REI
Do you have a list of moped style bikes for comparison?
I have one question for this. Are electric bikes good for snow? I live in NJ and want to know if I can get to work with this in snow.
I wanna build a moped with a qs 205 motor. Is a sabvoton 72150 the best controler dit this motor?
Micah, how do you record your videos while riding your bike?
Wonderful!
any plans to convert your other books to kindle versions?
Thinking about getting this style of bike. I was leaning toward an X-class ArielRider but now I’m starting to look at a D-class. Not really sure if it’s worth the bump in price. Anyone have any suggestions/input especially if you have experience with either. Thanks and you you have great content!
Is it available in India.
I'm older than dirt, so I know I'm too old to be riding most things "E" But the E-Mopeds look like a fit for me. Thank you for your great videos. By the way type of microphone are you using?
Congrats from Portugal.
Thanks for this video, there are a few bikes like this popping up in Australia and this is a good explanation of the strengths and weaknesses of the style. Here we are "legally" restricted to a max of 250watts and top speed of 25kph. But given at least some appear to be electronically speed restricted one at a stretch may be able to argue/set the bike to meet the 25kph speed restriction. I have read that some of the ebikes coming into Oz from China have a 250watt sticker on the motor but are actually 300 - 350 watts. I guess the ideal situation is to have a motor that is not physically large and hence attract attention and launch Adobe Indesign or Illustrator and make a clearer and larger 25 watt sticker. 😁
Why not just get a gas powered scooter?
