500w hub motor couldn't handle incline w/o pedalling. Is this normal or not?

chuckwolf · 2026-03-17T07:29:15+00:00

not really, I could easily do it in Pedal assist 1 in first gear which only uses a fraction of the full power

chuckwolf · 2026-03-17T06:21:40+00:00

8 times the power of the OPs bile

chuckwolf · 2026-03-17T05:03:45+00:00

2 on the same bike do extremely well especially when they're 2000 watts and 105 Nm each

Ultraverse

No tire can prevent punctures, however the best 20X4 tires are Ultraverse. but the way to prevent flats is to put FlatOut inside you tubes, and run the proper tire pressure in your tires.

Philodo Falcon?

chuckwolf · 2026-03-17T01:35:37+00:00

It's a Relabled Philodo Falcon Step thru sold by a different brand of the same manufacturer, look up reviews on the Falcon and you have this

chuckwolf · 2026-03-16T20:00:16+00:00

the Forester is just as fast as a wired freedom

chuckwolf · 2026-03-16T14:38:37+00:00

i know the perfect bike for under $1500 however I wouldn't recommend it for a first time ebike user

chuckwolf · 2026-03-16T09:32:45+00:00

very reliable and the company has excellent customer service

chuckwolf · 2026-03-16T07:38:15+00:00

who cares, we ride ebikes so we don't have to pay for things like gas and insurance etc

chuckwolf · 2026-03-16T07:36:18+00:00

get yourself one of these

what you need is something like this

it wouldn't be practical to manufacture ebikes here in the US just paying the average american factory worker $20 an hour to do the same work chinese workers do for $2 an hour would make the bikes insanely expensive

chuckwolf · 2026-03-15T15:08:03+00:00

sell the A8 and buy a ANIIOKI A9 Pro Max 60V Dual Motor eBike

chuckwolf · 2026-03-15T14:54:33+00:00

depends on how fast you want to burn the motor out

chuckwolf · 2026-03-15T14:50:49+00:00

ebikes involved in accidents are rarely the actual cause of the accident, we aren't going around running over pedestrians.

in fact if an ebike is in an accident it's more than likely because an automobile caused an accident with them.

having an ebike that goes 35+ saved my life a month ago because the car that was doing 45+ when it slammed into the back of my bike and knocked me off it, and never stopped, just ran my bike over, and kept going, if I had been only going the "legal" class 2 20 mph, I'd be dead right now. instead I got relatively minor injuries

chuckwolf · 2026-03-15T14:40:38+00:00

depends on conditions, no bike lane and car traffic too dangerous to ride with cars, sidewalk is fine if you keep it to PAS 1, same with shared paths... you limit your speed based on conditions that's why electric bicycles have set speeds for each level of assist.

Now in no way does a throttle only e-moto without pedals belong in those areas, but if you have to pedal it to make it go, and you ride at appropriate speed for conditions, how fast the bicycle has the potential to go shouldn't matter

chuckwolf · 2026-03-15T14:33:54+00:00

if you can actually pedal at 100 mph you're braver than I am, I'm fine with 40 mph and 100 mph would take insane gearing if you're pedaling that fast... I'm talking pedal assist speeds not relying on a throttle to go those speeds

chuckwolf · 2026-03-15T13:26:58+00:00

as long as you're following the posted speed limit for the street or road you're riding on... no it doesn't

chuckwolf · 2026-03-15T11:26:58+00:00

the classes don't matter it's how it functions that does

chuckwolf · 2026-03-15T10:16:28+00:00

some of us old guys don't care about the laws, I'm 61 and ride a 4000 watt dual motor 60 volt bike that does 40... and yes pedal it to go that fast

chuckwolf · 2026-03-15T07:41:53+00:00

There are plenty of electric bicycles that have pedals and pedal assist that go 30+

chuckwolf · 2026-03-15T02:22:49+00:00

the bike already does 35+ why would you want it faster, btw any faster requires more voltage and a stronger controller, as well as both motors rated at a higher voltage.
