Start by replacing the brake pads - they wear out and the brake lever goes all the way in when you squeeze it.

OK, if anyone is interested - this is now on EBay here:  https://www.ebay.com/itm/204800779966?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=dzh1e2NKQ3C&sssrc=2047675&ssuid=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Using the shorter step through controller is not a good idea for the high step because besides the risk of having more loose connections in the power cable if one adds an extension to them, having more connectors will also cause more resistance in the power cable than if only using a uncut full length cable.  Additionally, the ends of the shorter cables of the step-through model controller will stop partway down the battery downtube which means the thick power cable connector will stick up in the battery tray channel higher and causes the metal plate that sits under the battery to bend upwards. this causes the battery to lift slightly up and makes it hard to lock the battery in.

Although it works the same as the right controller, if one has a high step Rover 6 +, I would not recommend getting the ST (step through) model controller.

So today I had a little freak accident. I was riding my bike and rode over what looks like a chainlink fence wire. Somehow, inexplicably, it kicked up and wrapped itself around a couple spokes and the rear cassette. Of course it stopped the bike in its tracks, like a hard stop. I figured I would unwrap the wire and would be back on the road. No such luck. The motor did not come back on and the display also did not work. I replaced the two 30a fuses figuring the extreme resistance on the motor may have fried the fuses. Still no luck. I dont see any wire damage going to the controls. Anyone have a clue on what I should do next. Bike is out of warranty.

We like to stay at the Capilano River RV park just by the Lions Gate bridge. There are other places that are better in terms of looks, sites and services offered but this is really close to the city on the North side. Pricey, but convenient. No WIFI to speak of at the site, no Cable TV, close quarters, a few very long termers but they are not the junk piles you see in the states. There is a road not to far away that has roadsides that are also neat and clean, unlike in major US cities.

I'd love to purchase it... or pay for shipping. I just bought a used 2018.

How solid is that rear rack? To me it looks pretty precarious perched there with no braces to the seat tube. (Just from looking at Rad's photos of it.)

3M makes an awful lot of different products. What is "clear 3M"?

Was out riding today and suddenly realized I had no rear brake. How do I correct?

• Not necessarily a fault of the bike, but I can't use the large rear basket because it hits my tailbone.  That got returned right away.

Rotate the rear basket 90 degrees and that will solve your problem.  But honestly the large one is too big for most grocery trips.  I can get nearly everything in on the smaller one. [/list]

I highly recommend traveling thru the city, downtown, on e-bike just because you will beat the traffic and won't spend money on parking.

I'm glad you've enjoyed your visit. I looked at the bike map of Metro Vancouver and I am glad that it looked more cyclist friendly. It wasn't like that in my days. https://www.translink.ca/-/media/translink/documents/rider-guide/cycling/2021-cycling-maps/tl-cyclerouteseastwest_v2021web.pdf

You are right about the benefits of e-bikes regarding traffic. I have witnessed those roads turning into parking lots in certain hours of the day.

Did you do the Walmart thing or did you find a proper place to park your MoHo?
