Sep 23, 2016 · I have been experimenting with a hi-lift style jack, but it doesn't seem to work well with the relatively low weight of an E-Bike (it's designed for several tons, and doesn't want to descend properly most of the time) so I am going to keep the carriage of the lifting part, and use a wench to raise and lower the carriage via a pulley (will have pics to show in the near future).

Jan 22, 2018 · Thanks for the info, I was wondering about the wiggle, I was trying to figure out how to get a tight fit on the sliding section and not have it bind at the same time, unfortunately I can't get worm drive winches here, there imported from the US and the freight is a killer, I'm only lifting my 40lb ebike so I think a 3:1 boat winch will do for now

Oct 3, 2020 · Yeah, this is an old thread, but, I'm new to this and can offer my input for a cheap doable bike stand or holder. I took an old style bike rack I used when I owned my old '94 Cadillac. I placed it on an old mobile PC table and attached the hold down straps to the opposite side to counter balance the weight of this old heavy steel bike. It works ...

Feb 28, 2021 · I was out for a ride and my chain was slipping. When I got home and put the bike on the repair stand. I applied the throttle and then also applied some brake pressure in order to put a load on the chain and see if it was really slipping (no more than 10 seconds).

Oct 29, 2021 · Braking forces are transmitted through fasteners in shear normally. Any solution using longer bolts is probably a very bad idea. This may also put the fore and aft braking force going into the hub in a different relationship o the wheel bearings. I see more ways to get it wrong than get it right. It might not fail right away (on the bike repair ...

Dec 23, 2023 · Maybe look for a shop near you that sells/services sur-rons or talaria sting, or any other ebike. The stock controller will cut out due to low voltage so a low charge, climbing super steep hills, dying batt, or combination of that will cause cutting out.

Nov 17, 2020 · When I have asked in the regular shops what parts they stock or what sorts of special tools or equipment they have for E bikes the best I have got is they point to the fancy Park Tools electric bike repair stand / lift sort of thing. To me it looks like a standard bike work stand with the addition of a motorized height adjustment.

Jun 22, 2022 · P.S. for those who built / work on your bike on the ground and enjoy doing bike work - do yourself a favor and buy a quality bike repair stand (Park or equiv.). A good stand can hold even a heavy e-bike in almost any orientation, and bring the bike up to a working height much easier on your back.

Jun 17, 2020 · I have an X1 with Ludicrous and Silent Gear. When pedaling in assist levels 1 & 2 (set to 5 levels), there's always an extra rattling/clicking noise coming from the motor compartment. The noise goes away when in assist levels 3 through 5 and I only hear the hum/whine of the motor. Do any other X1 owners have this same

May 20, 2020 · I chose the LUNA Bafang BBSHD 1000 Watt hot rod edition with 52 volt Wolf packs and 300 watt chargers. The builds were very easy. They took about a day each. I already owned a bike repair stand and all the special bike tools. Crank puller, and bottom bracket tools.
