Bought this ebike the other day and first time taking it out and I braked at around 15mph (it’s 52v 2000w motor on a carerra hellcat ) and the bike felt like something was stuck in the wheel. Checked the back wheel and the rotor had completely failed any idea what happened and do you think will be an easy fix

The photos listed are the parts I have chosen, some might change but this is looking like a final list. Before I get any recommendations for e motos instead of building this, my parents won’t allow me to get a e motos even if I buy with my own money. If you have an alternative bike that would work better for around the same, i’m all ears. and if anything is wrong with my part list please let me know, i’m looking for help not constructive criticism or any off handed comments.

Anyone else feel like ebike motors mostly all sound the same?

0 Upvotes

My old ebike from 2010 had a distinct whine when the throttle kicked in, something that actually stood out. My current ebike doesn't have that anymore, it's just a generic whine that sounds like every other ebike and scooter I hear on the street these days. Philly has a heavy ebike and scooter scene, so I'm curious if others here notice the same thing, like older motors had more character while newer ones all blend into the same sound. Would be cool if motor sound was more distinct again instead of everything sounding identical.

I am unsure what generation of E-Bike I have here, but I would like to repair and use this bike. I am being offered $250 for this bike. The problems are as follows: cracked screen and failing brakes. I would like to work on this bike and get it up and running. I mainly would like to know how I could replace the brakes and screen. Is there an outlet that sells standard parts for the brakes? I will be contacting Lectric to assist in my endeavors soon, but I would like to see other options available

Replacement brakes for my Ridstar Q20 Pro

Looking for some advice - my son has a Ridstar Q20 Pro. He needs to replace the front brakes for sure (whole system) and possibly the back. Can you recommend a good replacement for them. Looking (possibly) Amazon (Canada or USA) or wherever.

Thanks in advance!

Looking at getting my first ebike

I was looking at a few options from lectric I have a $1500 budget and I'm trying to decide between the xp lite 2.0, xp4 750, and the xpress 2 commuter, I like the price of the xp lite 2.0, however the increased speed and distance of the xp4 750 as well as the accessories it comes with on the current sale sounds really nice to me however I've heard that folding bikes aren't worth the hype and that's why I also have the xpress commuter as an option, I want an ebike for basic travel as a car replacement but I don't usually travel too far or too much but just something as a fill in for when I need to travel, I do live in flordia and to my understanding won't need registration or insurance but if I'm mistaken on that please inform me, thanks for your time!!!
