The whole reason I got into the ebike thing was BarelyA.
He used a Magic Pie and a Ping. Ran good and long. So that's what I got. Runs good and long.
His bike plows thru snow and has thousands of miles on it. Pretty good eh?
Do you guys read this stuff here? Members reporting on what works and how it works? Do you cross check on other ebike websites?
If you only want to save a buck, by all means save a buck. I like to run stuff that works. Having zero experiance, I'll trust the guys here. Especially the old guys.
Another old guy I know told me once that it is impossible to spend too much money on a thing because if you spend too much all you have lost is a little money. But if you spend too little you may have lost it all as the thing you bought is not capable of doing what you bought it for. Just toss it inna trash.
Dunno anything about batteries except Magic Pie and Ping. They work. Trust me -
