The battery pack determines how far, how fast, and how long your e-bike will run. The three numbers you need to compare are voltage (V) – which must match your motor/controller exactly – amp-hours (Ah) – which sets your range – and chemistry – which affects weight, lifespan, and safety. If you’re buying a replacement…
A 2000W e-bike can typically reach speeds between 28 and 45 mph on flat ground, but the actual number you’ll see depends on battery voltage, controller limits, rider weight, and terrain. Raw motor power alone doesn’t set your top speed — the interaction between a few specific drivetrain components matters more, and so does the…
The “amps” that matter most are amp-hours (Ah) for battery capacity and continuous discharge amps for whether the battery can survive your motor’s peak draw. A 48V, 14Ah battery (672 Wh) will push a 500W motor roughly 25–35 miles on flat ground at moderate assist. But if your controller pulls 25A and the battery can…
The Stealth B52 typically costs between $10,000 and $12,000 depending on the variant (standard B52 vs. B52 R), battery option, and dealer pricing. That price buys a 6,000-watt mid-drive motor, a 72V lithium battery pack, and moto-grade suspension – components that put it closer to a light electric motorcycle than a typical e-bike. Below we…
Moto Parilla carbon e‑bikes range from $3,500 to $8,000 USD for a new model, with limited editions or fully loaded builds occasionally hitting $9,000. That spread applies to current model‑year bikes; previous‑year clearance or lower‑spec versions (e.g., hardtail, smaller battery) can fall below $3,500. The carbon frame, mid‑drive motor choice, and component tier push the…
Strava treats e-bikes differently than standard bikes. You need to add your e-bike as a gear item and select “E-Bike Ride” as the activity type for every ride. This keeps your mileage logged, prevents your rides from affecting standard cycling segments, and lets you appear on e‑bike‑specific leaderboards instead. Here’s how to set both up…
The right cells for your e-bike battery depend on your pack voltage, motor power, range needs, and budget. Start by matching chemistry to your voltage, decide between 18650 and 21700 form factors, calculate capacity from your ride distance, verify the continuous discharge rating covers your controller’s draw, and always buy genuine cells from a trusted…
Sell your e‑bike fast on Facebook Marketplace by treating the listing like a tech spec sheet, not a yard‑sale ad. Prep the bike, capture spec‑focused photos, write a description that answers the five questions buyers actually ask, price realistically, and handle inquiries with safety rules. Here’s the step‑by‑step system. Prep the Bike and Get the…
Yes, you can often change the speed limit on a programmable e-bike through the display settings, but the method depends on your specific model and the change may be illegal on public roads. Most e-bikes are capped at 20 mph (Class 1 and 2) or 28 mph (Class 3), and the factory limit is stored…
To charge a Cannondale e-bike battery, remove the battery (if it’s an external model) or leave it mounted, connect the charger to the charge port, then plug the charger into a standard 120V wall outlet. The charger’s LED will turn red during charging and green once full. Most Cannondale e-bikes use Bosch PowerTube (internal) or…
