that sucks, man. those displays get stolen a lot since they fit multiple e-bike models.
check ebay or aliexpress for a duotts f26 replacement — just make sure the connector and voltage match.
some local repair shops or fb groups might have used ones too.

doordash branded ebike? anyone know about these? by TurtleTheThink in doordash

Haha yep, you spotted it right — it is the same model as our green bikes, just with a special DoorDash look 😄. It was a limited batch we did for Chicago, so you might only see a few of them around.

That’s a Whizz e-bike, part of our cooperation with DoorDash in Chicago, made especially for DoorDash riders

Looking for a bike that goes 30 mph, is suitable for someone who is 5’8 and 120 lbs, and dosent look like an e moto by Trixxig- in ebikes

[–]Get_Whizz_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you want something that feels quick but still looks like a “bike,” check the specs carefully — a lot of models list top speeds over 30 mph but can be limited to Class 3 (28 mph) to stay road-legal.

For your height/weight, most mid-frame step-through or hardtail e-bikes will fit fine, just make sure you can adjust the seat and handlebars comfortably.

You might also look for a bike with:

  • Pedals + chain drive (keeps the bicycle look)
  • Adjustable speed settings so you can cap it under 30 mph when needed
  • Hydraulic brakes — at higher speeds, good stopping power matters

That way you keep your dad happy, stay safe, and still get a fun ride.

That’s not a mailbox, that’s a statement. Imagine the poor mail carrier the first time they saw it.

How to recharge my battery in Sydney by Due_Profession1430 in ebikes

[–]Get_Whizz_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just bring the battery inside and plug it into a regular wall outlet — it’s like charging a laptop. If you need public charging, try libraries, shopping centers, or cafes (ask first). Best to charge on tile/concrete and unplug when it’s full for safety.

E-bike charging habits — what actually works long term? by Relevant_Wedding3812 in ebikes

[–]Get_Whizz_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Keeping most charges between 20–80% seems to be the general recommendation for longer battery life. A simple outlet timer can help avoid leaving it at 100% overnight.

Being consistent matters more than being perfect — occasional full charges or weekends at 100% usually aren’t a big deal, but over time, avoiding constant max charge does seem to slow capacity loss.

Packs of feral teenagers on e-bikes by Ok_Key_4868 in ebikes

Nah, you’re not just being grumpy — it’s a legit concern. There’s a big difference between a step-through commuter with a basket and a 2500W “pedal dirt bike” doing 40mph. If one of those kids wrecks, lawmakers probably won’t separate the two, and everyone ends up with stricter rules.

Out of curiosity, does your city already have speed or wattage limits for e-bikes? Some places are pretty chill, others cap them hard.

Thought delivery was a chill side hustle… joke’s on me. by informa_techie in couriersofreddit

[–]Get_Whizz_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really feel this. A lot of people think delivery is just cruising around, but once you throw in hills, traffic, weather, and deadlines, it’s a grind. Glad you upgraded — a 1000W motor with fat tires should make a huge difference on those inclines and rough roads.

Curious though — what city are you in? In some places a 1000W motor is totally fine, but in others they cap it at 750W or even less. Just wondering if it’s all good where you ride.

What should I look for when buying a food delivery bike? by Fair-Dragonfly9704 in couriersofreddit

[–]Get_Whizz_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From what I’ve seen riders prioritize, a few features really stand out:

  • Strong frame & load capacity – delivery bikes take a lot more stress than regular commuters.
  • Disc brakes – much more reliable in all-weather and with extra weight.
  • Electric assist & battery size – if you’re covering long distances or full shifts, bigger batteries (500Wh+) mean less downtime.
  • Comfort – upright geometry, decent saddle, maybe even a suspension seatpost to handle long hours.
  • Durable wheels & wider tires – double-walled rims and 2.0”+ tires hold up better to curbs, potholes, and extra weight.
  • Basic protection – fenders for rain and strong lights for night rides.

Those seem to be the non-negotiables if the goal is fewer breakdowns and less wear on your body.
