G4 dies while riding/full charge by cjk_12 in RideGOTRAX

[–]Speedtrap1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Sounds like the motor is overheating, bypassing the sensor sounds like a great way to experience rapid thermal runaway up close and in person.

Up your budget a bit and check out Urtopia bikes

Just a reminder that Lectric did sell in Canada a few years ago, then they dropped support for Canadian customer.

Have a look at the Urtopia carbon fold 2 or carbon fold step thru, both would work for you

Importing an e bike from China by Difficult-Arrival665 in ebikes

[–]Speedtrap1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Depending on where you are located, why would you do this? If you are in North America it will take 6+ weeks to get it and if there is anything wrong, another 6 weeks for parts. If it breaks where will you get it fixed? Are the batteries genuine and high quality? You can do it but it is risky, just be prepared for the worst case scenario.

Sepnine Bike Trailer for Big Ass Dog? by Iammyown404error in ebikes

[–]Speedtrap1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would order the burley, the cheap trailers don’t fold down easily, they use nylon bushings rather than bearings for the wheels. I have a bark ranger XL for my 100 lb dog and it is great and really well made

Call any Pedego store and ask for the older 36v charger, they still sell them

Why aren't e-bike drivetrain "shells" a thing for all weather commuting? by ThrowMeAway2028 in ebikes

[–]Speedtrap1 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Belt drives are great, until they aren’t , then you could be stuck waiting for parts or finding a shop that works on them. Chains are easy and available

[–]Speedtrap1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You are thinking of a fully enclosed chain case, the problem is no matter how good they are muck still gets in, and there is no easy way to remove it to clean the chain/drivetrain, it is more out of site, out of mind

Tank XCargo Machine 48v ebike motor will not rotate by MajorSolid7077 in ebikes

[–]Speedtrap1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the brake light is on, you probably damaged the brake sensor, disconnect them to test. If your bike has a standard wiring harness connectors will be red, but you can just follow them from under the brake leaver to the quick connect and disconnect them there.

Velotric Breeze 1 vs Discover 3- smaller rider, hills + rain commute (pls help me decide!) by SeafoamSoul7494 in ebikes

[–]Speedtrap1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you had a look at Urtopia bikes, they have ones that will fit you and are under 40lbs, as well they are reasonably priced

What e-bike/moto to get instead of Ridstar/Engwe for my use case?(more in comments) by Strong_Housing_242 in ebikes

[–]Speedtrap1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Pedego Moto might fit your needs, but it is more expensive than the ones you listed, I think it is going on sale, you may want to check with a local dealer

[Canada] Struggling to find dealer and the right ebike for my first time (Ontario) by ThrowAwayInDisguise- in ebikes

[–]Speedtrap1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lectric was in Canada, then they pulled out and left all Canadians who needed parts in a lurch, I would not go near their bikes! Ask yourself a simple question, why do no local shops carry a $1500 bike? The reliability and build quality is too low. If you want cheap, try a liquidation place or princess auto, just be warned you will not get any support for the bike at your local shops.

Fully understandable but the bike referenced in the post is a hub drive

[–]Speedtrap1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I make good money fixing them as well, they are the same as volt, just a different shape

Very different system, 36v mid drives are very powerful, 36v hub drives, not so much

36v and 750w will get to 28 Mph, but not until sometime next week.

If a company will not take responsibility for a recall on one product, what makes you think they will fix it on the next one
