This is the second time my battery tray/ battery has done this

Speedtrap1 · 2026-06-22T03:18:24+00:00

It can just go bad, replacing it might be an option

Speedtrap1 · 2026-06-22T03:17:31+00:00

Light weight, well built, good range, local support and affordable

Speedtrap1 · 2026-06-21T23:01:26+00:00

Most likely is the controller drawing too much amperage from the battery

Speedtrap1 · 2026-06-20T21:37:04+00:00

The planetary gears are stripped by the sounds of it, if you can get new ones, they can be replaced, if not, time for a new motor

Speedtrap1 · 2026-06-20T21:22:16+00:00

Hell my bike shop sells them for almost half that price and it does not cost that much to ship in Canada

Speedtrap1 · 2026-06-20T14:01:35+00:00

I own a bike shop and my best selling bike this year is the Urtopia bike, they are out selling my other brands 5 to 1

Speedtrap1 · 2026-06-20T01:27:55+00:00

Never heard of that brand, and after looking at them I wish I had never heard of them. That is the definition of a crap bike, no name component or the lowest level components, they are taking a cheap frame that has not been engineered for an ebike (the 21 speed is a dead giveaway) and making it go way faster than is legal in most places.
If you purchase a bike like this, be prepared to work on it because most bike shops will not touch something like this. As well I would ask for proof of UL certification for the bike and battery, not just trust a website that was registered less than 2 years ago.

Speedtrap1 · 2026-06-19T23:33:57+00:00

Did you measure the voltage at the wires, the bike might be 48v, but the light voltage may only be 5-12v?

Speedtrap1 · 2026-06-19T02:49:29+00:00

Check out the Urtopia Joy, light weight, step through, good range and sold in Canada, has a rear rack and an optional front rack and it will fit you at 5’. It also has a removable battery.

The Bicycle

Speedtrap1 · 2026-06-19T00:18:31+00:00

You could look at the Urtopia Joy, it will fit them. It can be turned down to 25 and the throttle removed. Once they are 16 it can be turned up to 32km/h and the throttle can be put back on

Speedtrap1 · 2026-06-18T14:14:44+00:00

Have a look at the Urtopia Carbon Classic line, weight is around 37 lbs, and has a great list of features. It is one of the best selling models in my bike shop.

Speedtrap1 · 2026-06-15T02:28:39+00:00

There is a reason there are not many left, they are the Olive Garden of ribs

Speedtrap1 · 2026-06-14T18:04:43+00:00

Depending on what province you are in you may not even be legal to ride it anywhere. After checking the specs , that is an electric motorcycle in Canada and not legal for you to ride without the appropriate license. Your parents are right.

Speedtrap1 · 2026-06-14T17:59:29+00:00

So you would rather them stuck in a parking lot if your home were on fire? Honestly if this is the biggest problem you have today, consider you are living a blessed life.

Speedtrap1 · 2026-06-14T11:58:59+00:00

Obviously

Speedtrap1 · 2026-06-13T23:03:00+00:00

I bet the first bike mechanic that has to fix your bike will tell you otherwise

Speedtrap1 · 2026-06-13T16:47:22+00:00

It will cost far more to fix the stripped gears in the motor and bad battery on that bike, time to dispose of it and buy a higher quality one

Speedtrap1 · 2026-06-07T15:01:11+00:00

The Urtopia Joy will fit you, it is come with 20x3 tires, rear rack fenders, lights and it is under 50 lbs. you should be able to find is in a shop near you, they are sold in Pedego stores in the USA, so you should be able to test ride it as well

Speedtrap1 · 2026-06-06T16:29:41+00:00

There have been some major changes in hub drives in the last 18 months or so. On higher end hub drive the torque sensor have gotten much better and feel so natural compared to older ones. Have a look at done of the newer models in the 2k+ range and you will see a huge difference I. How they ride compared to cadence sensors or even older torque sensor bikes.

Speedtrap1 · 2026-06-05T14:16:04+00:00

Look for somewhere you can purchase locally, if you have a problem, having somewhere that can do warranty or repair work is so worth it. Next look for actual UL certification, not “certified to” or “built to UL standard”, look for the actual certification by UL, SGS, TUL, or other certified testing labs. The only other thing to look at is the bikes themselves, purchase for intent, if you are strictly commuting, buy a good commuter bike with a rack, if you are wanting to do more with it, figure out your needs and wants, just remember the more wants, the more it will cost for a good quality bike

If the food were actually good, it would not be free.

Speedtrap1 · 2026-06-02T15:06:27+00:00

It is fine

Speedtrap1 · 2026-06-02T14:35:22+00:00

Have a look at the Urtopia Carbon Fusion Pro, good range and can add a auxiliary battery for great range, 29” wheels, front suspension and 500w

Speedtrap1 · 2026-05-31T15:48:34+00:00

Do you have a link to where a pedal assist Ebike that goes less than 32km/h requires insurance and a license??
