A spring balancer allows storing it at the ceiling or pulling it down to the bike to charge it. This is such a huge improvement.</p><p><a href="https://techhub.social/tags/diy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>diy</span></a> <a href="https://techhub.social/tags/electric" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>electric</span></a></p>

Benjamin<p>Kann mir jemand ein gutes E-Bike empfehlen? Eher Richtung Trekking-Rad, Wechselakku und Reichweite so 80-120 km. Gute Reparierbarkeit und eins, das Fahrradläden auch anfassen. Und vielleicht auch kein Gewicht wie ein Elefant. <a href="https://norden.social/tags/fedibikes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>fedibikes</span></a> <a href="https://norden.social/tags/ebike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ebike</span></a></p>

Wen<p>This does not surprise me. Poor battery quality seems to plague e-bikes with after market kits (and others). BUT there is a failure in relation of the sellers - Amazon and Ebay sell this risky shit all the time with no come back. Maybe they should be forced to take responsibility - and that includes criminal liability.</p><p><a href="https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/mar/26/tfl-to-issue-ban-on-e-bikes-after-concerns-over-igniting-batteries" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">theguardian.com/uk-news/2025/m</span><span class="invisible">ar/26/tfl-to-issue-ban-on-e-bikes-after-concerns-over-igniting-batteries</span></a></p><p><a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/eBike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>eBike</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Safety" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Safety</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/TFL" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TFL</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Cycling" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Cycling</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/OnlinePirates" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>OnlinePirates</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Ebay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Ebay</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/Amazon" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Amazon</span></a></p>

As I had a couple essential items needed, I decided to dress quickly and jump on my <a href="https://urbanists.social/tags/ebike" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ebike</span></a> to go to the grocery store before dawn and snow, for 6 miles. With the cloud cover it was still mostly dark. The wind was strong out of the Northeast and the temperature was falling. I guess our chance of more rain than snow is diminishing.

They don't have the experience. Reviews don't seem to be especially helpful, and I worry that these bikes won't get the basic maintenance that they need.</p>
