E-Bikes and Trains are the transportation of the future.

Yay! I like e-bikes! I only own e-scooter for now, but I kinda miss the stability of bikes

1) I am an able-bodied man who understands how to use the gearing on my bicycle.
2) exploding batteries

batteries explode if the wiring in there is bad and the cells charge over their designed voltage.

Maybe american summer camp so americans can build their own battery so they can under stand how simple. I think that would make americans fall out of their evil wasteful stupor.

On an ebike youre easily allowed to see the failure of ameircan infrastructure. It's a tool to scout out american hostility. The gas fogs the brain. Your ebike will go where the busses dont go and where your normal bicycle will not reach.

Whats wrong with a normal bike? I regularly smoke boomers and middle aged dads/moms on ebikes with ease.
They are capped at 25km/h where i live and the added weight is only a handicap above 25km/h. I easily do 35km/h on the flats and can climb at 20km/h.
There is no advantage except more drivetrain wear, expensive batteries and added weight.

If I get old or move back to a hilly town i would consider it. Until then there's basically no excuse to not use a regular bike.
Also these get stolen the instant you lock them up outside

your bicycle is a prosthetic. The logic to herding bodies in to gas chambers says, leave your wheel chair out side where the thieves will rust it.

The bike racks not empty by accident. A 5000 pound gas chamber is too heavy to steal.

ebike? YES.

:the gas comes out the back side of the gas chamber. We get a lot more of the gas when the gas chamber is moving up hill. The gas looks like air but it's not. The gas chamber moves the air away. Carbon monoxide binds to the hemoglobin 200 times faster than air. We can't filter the carbon monoxide from the blood in our veins with a gas mask. We would need a gas mask with oxygen tanks.

probably bafang or knockoff of bafang. Look up the voltage/amps and get a controller for it, shouldn't be too hard. Most of these guys aren't reinventing the wheel here with their designs.

if u cant find a speed controller that works with your monitor, just wire in a 5 dollar amp meter/ volt meter. I got some hard switches to control power and speed. I had to do this in a similar situation and the hard switches are way way better.

That error code 10 on my bicycle would mean I would want to check the continuity in those 5 wires that go from the speed controller to the hub motor.

When I got my conversion kit, one or some of the 5 wires was rubbing up against the in side of the hub motor housing and it was causing a short.

What does your speed controller look like? I'm really bad with the names of connectors.

I spliced the wiring harness in to the new speed controller. You can get a kit of these connectors [but I cant remember the name of them right now]

and terminate them to the controller end of the wiring harness. That way we can swap it out easy if it breaks later.

We can also splice the wiring harness straight in to the speed controller but that takes a lot longer to fix if the speed controller has issues later.

I don't know what that broken looking blue connector is that loops back like that?

I believe the blue was supposed to connect to a headlight that is missing from the bike. This is a pic of the speed controller i couldnt find a serial number or brand for it though.

If I need a new wiring harness in the future, I will build it from ethernet cord. I think I would need to run 2 ethernet cords along the bike. Could make it look really cool.

Here's why I don't want to buy an e-bike: I see bicycles from the 1980s still being ridden around on a pretty regular basis. Saw an older gentleman pedaling around HIS old man's old bicycle the other day. Some British company I think, I forget the make.

I just don't have any confidence that ANY e-bike currently on the road will be around in even 10 years. They all use proprietary batteries, they're always updating models, they're always changing the battery that comes with the models... Fast forward 30 years. A 16 year old finds his old man's e-bike in the garage. It looks brand new! But the battery won't charge. Will he be able to find a new battery and get his old man's bike back on the road? I bet NOT.

I would like things to get standardized. The same way so much stuff about bicycles have become standardized. I would like to know with certainty that if I buy an e-bike I can keep it running until the frame itself dies because replacement batteries, replacement motors, etc, will still be available in 20 years.

This is the only thing stopping me from buying an ebike. All parts are custom or proprietary. There really isn't a need for this since we're talking about simple components here. I want to be able to ride to a friends house, then swap out my battery with a spare he has and go home. It should really be that simple.

Yes. It should be as standardized as AA/AAA/D/C/9V batteries. It's fine if there are different batteries, so long as it's a small list of standardized sizes and configurations that will still be around in 10 years. Right now everything is completely proprietary which is over the rainbow gay. With everything being proprietary it turns a Forever Bike into a Throwaway Bike.

It will only happen when all the ebikes that are shilled now are sent to landfills too early. Then consumers will only buy something with standard parts. Rental companies might make advancements here faster than consumers though. Unless they find a way to make ebikes and escooters extremely cheap or near indestructible, they'll need to manufacture bikes that are very easy to repair.

since i cant find a wire harness online ima just repair my old wire but, im looking at it and i have an orange wire not connected to anything and an extra green wire on the connector are these just grounds or are they actually needed to make a proper connection, on both connectors all wires should have a connection except the orange wire and green wire (which is connected to the connector)?

orange might be cruise control. Not sure what the cut green is.

check the manual for the speed controller and figure out what handle bar "instruments" to hook up to what color wire.

The LCD screen obscured this process for me too much and I did not like it :( Much happier working with the simple volt meter / amp meter and hard switches.

2 wires for power on
3 wires for speed selector switch
3 wires for throttle lever
2 wires for cruise control
2 wires for break cutoff switch

I dont think I forgot any thing other than your very useful blue head light wire.

ooh.
what's the cheapest I should expect for everything like battery included? I'm seeing like a back hub motor and all electronics for like 200 bucks on Ali but I don't think it includes baytery.
also when riding it without the battery, would it be a lot harder cause of the motor? especially if it's back hub and not pedal one?
