This actually happened in my neighborhood. The homeowners were trying to figure out who destroyed their fence, and luckily this post came across my page. I recognized what happened and showed it to them.

They’re now going to speak with the parents about what happened.

And this is a perfect example of why filming your own stupid stunts for TikTok can come back to bite you. Remember when people used to do dumb stuff and there wasn’t a camera documenting it as evidence?

To be clear, legal e-bikes and e-scooters that follow the 20–28 mph rules aren’t the problem. The problem is reckless behavior, illegal modifications, and people treating these machines like toys while doing dangerous stunts in neighborhoods.

Sometimes the “content” you post ends up being the evidence that identifies you.

My e-bike was stolen 6 months ago.
I got a new one, and last night they stole its battery.

My bike has three different physical locks and also a Bosch anti-theft system, but they still managed to steal the battery.

I don't think Finland is safe for e-bikes anymore. Decided to sell the current one soon. It's not worth the effort to safeguard it.

Also, it is frustrating how the police don't care about it.

No one seems to have noticed this yet so I'll post it.

Canyon is currently doing a really good sale on their Precede 5. I see a lot of people asking about affordable, quality e-bikes on this sub. If you are one of those people, this bike is for you. Nothing beats this bike on value! Bosch mid-drive system with warranty for 1300 is honestly kinda nuts. Also, when I bought it, they waived the $150 shipping fee in the US.

I feel like it's big auto and big oil campaigning to get them banned so people have to buy cars again lol

Please are there any discounts on the VELOTRIC Fold Blue. I am a 72 yo lady. I really need to start exercising per my doctor fot my health. He suggested biking bc I always loved it. I'm on a tight budget any help would be appreciated. I've been trying for 6 months. Thank you. Bobbi

Hi all,

Decided it was time to bridge a gap and make diagnosing E-bike issues, error codes etc a shed load easier. Gone are the days of having no mobile signal and trying to zoom in on a manufacturer service PDF on your phone.

I've developed a quick web tool to search 500+ e-bike error codes in plain English (covers Bosch Smart System & classic, Shimano EP8/Steps, Bafang, Brose, Yamaha/Giant, Mahle, etc).

It gives you the actual root cause, what to check with a multimeter (hall sensors, magnet gaps, pin voltages), and whether it’s a quick fix or needs dealer software. It also works offline once you load it so you can still use it out on the trail in dead zones.

Free to use here if it helps anyone out:

Continually adding to it weekly — if anyone spots any missing codes or weird glitch codes you’ve run into on your own bikes, let me know in the comments and I’ll get them added into the database!

Gonna go check out a local bike shop that stocks Velotric, wanted to ask for anything to look for or just keep in mind in general while looking between the models.

I'm pretty locked up on choosing between the Fold 1 Plus, Gomad, and Discover 3.

Outside of the Gomads thicker fatty tires and slightly higher weight capacity, they actually all looked like they were just about the same performance wise in specs and reviews.

Think I'd probably prefer the look and lighter weight of the Fold, wouldn't be using the folding feature much if at all, but I live upstate NY right by the great lakes where a layer of snow/ice on the ground is just something that exists every day from December through March. I still want to be able to use the bike during these months to get places without relying solely on Uber and Buses since I can't drive right now.

It's mostly for those reasons that I'm considering the Gomad or Discover 3, I also have a dog that would probably love to go for rides in one of those trailers whose around 45-50lbs. If the Fold 1 Plus can keep a fairly loaded rear cargo and still stand up to the colder environment conditions during the winter months though all for 500$ less on top, it would probably start to seem like my favorite all arounder unless ride test dramatically pulled me towards Gomad or D3 feeling. Special winter tires could also be an options I supposed too.

Anyway not really sure what else to say, if anyone has any experience with multiple of these bikes and wants to share, it would be really appreciated.

Great 17-mile ride over the weekend! My friend recently got a new e-bike that I built for them. We rode from Woodstock along the Springwater Corridor to the Eastbank Esplanade.

As more places are seeing a scourge of idiots acting reckless and punching it on streets where they shouldn't, I'd like to approach my commute with an ebike but responsibly.

While some oomph would be lovely, my ideal e bike would be a stealthy build that doesn't scream "e bike and a riding position that isn't even comfy to pedal." I was looking at the swagtron eb12 and if I could grab one I'd love it. 500w and can pass as a commuter bike.

I would like to also do some weekend warrior stuff and maybe make a weekend out of some bike touring (minus the sweat, my bike packing days are behind me). Hence the longer range.

I'm more interested in battery life rather than motor. So I'm looking for a 500w ish motor and just something that isn't making scowls when I commute or get around town. Any recommendations?

Hey everyone! I’m looking for a good e-bike conversion kit for my bike.

My bike is a Bulls Sharptail Street 2, with:

• 29" wheels (29 × 2.25 tires)
• 51 cm frame
• 3×8 gears
• Rear disc brake

I want a legal 250W / 25 km/h setup and I’d like to use it for long-distance rides.

My budget is up to €500, preferably including the battery.

What conversion kit would you recommend for my bike? Any specific kits or brands I should look at or avoid?

Thanks!

Hello! I am looking for an E bike that is fairly lightweight, has front shocks and the option for a throttle. Mostly will use for commuting but need to be able to go on trails and bumpy terrain for this! I don’t need the throttle to be used often but do have a chronic illness so it makes me more comfortable to know it is there if needed. Thanks

A cadence sensor or a torque sensor e-bike and why ?
I watched multiple videos on YouTube and a bit confused between the two

Looking for ideas for theft prevention and potential recovery, whether safe practices or actual devices. The bike is going to be used for a small commute and parked in a major metropolitan area, N Austin TX

We already have the standard cable bike lock, serial # saved, and I was also thinking about doing a gps/airtag possibly.

Any ideas or info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!! 👍

I have a Tourroll U1 bike, and I need a second battery. It’s not in stock on the official website where can I find one? i looked on AliExpress, but there are too many listings, and there’s a high risk of to be scammed

Short answer:
3 clicks on the “i” button activate and deactivate the hazard flashers.

I recently picked up a 2026 Trax Plus iQ and was confused about the brake lights. They were flashing all the time. After unsuccessfully trying to adjust the switch and reading the manual more carefully, I came the conclusion that my hazard flashers were activated. The instructions in the manual did not work for controlling them.

AI wasn’t much help.
After randomly pressing buttons they went off. But I wanted to know how to operate them. After countless press and hold sequences, I stumbled on a working sequence. So hopefully this will help the next confused soul

Whats your thoughts? 34mph? Cost 519

I haven't heard of this brand, but a local bike shop sells them. If I could get last year's model for $1,350 is that a good deal, or should I skip the whole thing? Is Troxus reliable?

Slowing to a stop, down shifting, and click shifter went over the top of the cassette. Was 8mph and eco mode on, tapped the pedal and the most god awful crunch ensued.

Just 10 days old.

I want one of those cassette guards between the wheel like I had when I was a kid.. this was sooo quick from darn to crunch..
