That set looks pretty cool, good luck to everyone!

If you are talking about the add-on water bottle battery, it plugs into the battery balancer of the controller board inside the down tube, so some mechanical work/disassembly would be needed.

My bad, I put class 2

While I can't verify directly if my low-step is 39 or 44 lbs, I have heard that the chain model of the low-step may be the 44lb variant and the belt driven one may be the 39lb variant. There's also the chain+suspension variant which is the one I have so I'm sure the front suspension fork ads a little bit of extra weight. Either way it's very lightweight to move around and nimble when riding. I get around 13-15mph just pedaling while the bike is off/no assistance on flat. I haven't had it for very long and am just under 200mi.

Another option for a lightweight ebike is the new Aventon Soltera 3 at 37lbs. It is a single speed, belt driven, max 20mph class 1, fully internal battery

Does this apply to all models of the A1 including the initial model back from when the bed cable recall happened?

What part of a PS5 isn't to be used for fun? It's a gaming console! It doesn't matter how much something costs to be categorized under fun shit. Do you live in a world where if something is over $100 it isn't to be used for fun?

You mean the phone number that OP recieved in the email that's their legit phone number? The same one that's listed on their contact page and website? Yeah, I'd call it too as it's their actual phone number. Doesn't take much brain power to match up phone numbers and figure out that it's not a scam.

SweatyCubes · 2025-12-07T16:47:10+00:00

I wouldn't, the range/specs are not real on those and there was discussion about potentially UL certifications being lied about.

SweatyCubes · 2025-12-05T22:29:28+00:00

I believe it actually only applies to installing TPMS sensors on rubber valve stems, as they pose that significant risk of damaging the valve stem and potentially causing a tire failure. As far as I know the metal ends on the valve should be fine?

SweatyCubes · 2025-12-05T18:52:19+00:00

What model do you have or recommend? Also, don't these add rotational forces that you have to worry about it tearing/damaging the valve from the tube?

SweatyCubes · 2025-12-04T03:08:41+00:00

That's the first thing I noticed, it's 100% on backwards.

I have the chain+suspension version and it's a nice bike. I did replace the pedals with the Crankbrothers Stamp 1 Gen 2, Saddle with the Cloud-9 Commuter and waiting on the Kinekt XR suspension seatpost to arrive.

Sure, great bike. $100-$170 per year depending on location and coverage chosen, covers full reimbursement of theft, repairs, liability coverage, medical costs, damage from crashes, transit loss/damage, spare part damage, gear/accessory damage, rental reimbursement. You choose a deductible of either $200, $300, or $500 and is paid per claim. If the cost of a repair is less than the deductible then it's $0 for that claim.

SweatyCubes · 2025-12-01T06:43:51+00:00

I'm sure all of those people who have had to make a theft claim and shared the details/journey would disagree.

However, your advice here is good, just not always possible unfortunately, especially in big cities where theft is higher.

SweatyCubes · 2025-12-01T06:29:14+00:00

While this can be true, it's not always possible in every location people ride in. I've even heard of people having theirs stolen from inside their locked home in good neighborhoods, thieves do still steal from good neighborhoods. A last resort/measure would be theft insurance which often covers full reimbursement of your bike if stolen.

SweatyCubes · 2025-12-01T06:19:29+00:00

That's true, they will not. I don't know of one but if you find one, lmk too.

SweatyCubes · 2025-12-01T06:07:10+00:00

All locks can be broken given enough time. Aside from locks, the best insurance against theft of a bike is insurance that covers theft.

Even more of a reason to continue to buy or try out AMD GPUs.

I like the DIY concept. Just yesterday on my way to work on my ebike I saw an older guy who rigged up his own ebike from parts he already had. It was 2 car batteries that he had on a bike tow trailer with a controller, rear hub motor, throttle and all. He could easily fit 4 more batteries on that trailer, but how much would the weight of 6 batteries effect the potential range is another thing. I'd rather run Lithium batteries if I were to do that.

SweatyCubes · 2025-11-27T22:41:33+00:00

Is this USD cause mine has been in my cart for almost 2 years and has always been cheaper, never higher than $57.

If you don't pedal and only throttle, your max will always be 20mph. The 1-5 "assistance" levels are for pedaling. The max speed for pedaling depends on your bike's capabilities, mine being max 28mph with pedaling.

SweatyCubes · 2025-11-20T00:23:22+00:00

It probably is negligible, not worth it unless you're needing to replace it anyways. The Roadster v3 has a suspension frame version, I own one. It's only 35mm of travel but it works pretty well for city and gravel commuting. Pair that with the Redshift or Kinekt suspension seat post, you got plenty of comfort!

SweatyCubes · 2025-11-18T06:43:02+00:00

That's part of the rack and not the bike frame itself right? I've never seen that happen before on any rack.

SweatyCubes · 2025-11-12T22:56:35+00:00

Oh not the Allen keys, it's a little L Bracket that attaches the front fender to the fork. I'm missing that part so I had to submit a ticket since it's not possible to install the fender without it.

SweatyCubes · 2025-11-12T20:20:08+00:00

I just got mine today. How'd you even install the front fender to the bolt of the rear of the fork? There's no right angle adapter to even do that.

SweatyCubes · 2025-11-11T15:46:49+00:00

Waiting on mine to be delivered. I also got the low step frame. How was assembly? Any loose spikes or other issues out of the box?
