About 20 miles year round, in winter with snow I often strap my extra battery on. With fat tire bikes 8psi is common in the winter so if I want to climb and do 20÷ miles I need the extra juice.
Use this in the summer, never had the phone come loose riding but came off once in a fall but in snow and no damage. Put phone in a pocket when it gets cold, can't beat Ram mounts for durability.
Don't use wax type oils in cold weather, not good! Been there done that.
It just builds up on the derailleur cogs and actually stiffens up the chain such that it wont shift properly.
I've tried just about everything out there, mostly because I'll run out and buy whatever I can find wherever I'm...
I usually get positive comments, perhaps because at 65 I'm a little long in the tooth.
My usually comment is, "rode them acoustic bikes over 30 years, this beast triples the fun factor and it's easy on my old knees".
When approaching riders on assent I just hang back tell they see me, and they...
If you want cheep, here's my $15 stand made from a 1.5" pipe clamp attached to a bench vice. Gets the rear wheel off the ground so I can lub the chain or do just about anything. If I want more hight I flip the vise. Got the idea online just modified some think the plans called for mounting...
When I get home from a ride I plug the battery in, then next day or whenever I get around to it I'll unplug it.
I think it's best to have the battery full charged a all times, internal chips monitor battery health and lot of other stuff.
Like someone early stated, don't overthink it.
When I...
500Wh works for me in the Summer, when snow flies added power becomes the norm and an extra 500Wh goes on my post rack. Snow really drags you down and the cold zaps power from your battery, a cover helps on the discharging battery to keep the heat generated with the battery.
Ride On!
Current chatter with respect to Watt hours per kilogram is the current standard or achievable density of 250 Wh/Kg to 400 Wh/Kg is anticipated in the next couple years. That would be a huge increase in the power to weight ratio not only for ebikes but EVs as well.
Not sure on rather one of these, thinking I may have pickup some aluminum and mig weld my own. Not many FS Fats out there, not a big enough market share so maybe a winter project; give me a good excuse to maybe buy a tig welder.
Hi, Riding a Haibike full FatSix 10.0, been using a seatpost rack with mud guard mounted underneath, used on my Bulls Monster also.
Would really like is a rear rack that mounts to the rear pivot arm, one compatible with rear full suspension. The seatpost rack has its limitations especially when...
Dealer is replacing mine, the bearing started making noise at about 2100 miles. After washing and on it's side in truck there was brown rusty water coming out of left crank bearing, never good. The dealer said ride as long as you can, not sure when the new motor will be in. A Bulls Monster E...
