@tbyte it seems this is answered. But just in case, I wondered this as well. When I changed the tire recently I observed that the chain connects only to the pedals. Theoretically you could remove the chain and still drive about. It only is needed when the pedals are used.

I own a Munic, I had a flat tire, and after replacing the tire back on the spocks
i ended up with less then 1/3 power in the back wheel. Do you have any idea
what went wrong and how do i fix it. Thanks

@horsehockey22 Greetings. I have a cabbike3. Front motor drive, but I can pedal it if I want to for exercise or in case I let the battery run out. Also I live in Wisconsin and for my trike to be considered a bicycle it has to have pedal power. I do have a flat though, and this video was helpful although my flat and my motor are in the front wheel. As far as I'm concerned my pedals are primarily foot rests.

If your bike has a 48V motor but 12V lights check the power connection to the controller.
(usually tucked up under the seat) The lights on some of the more expensive e-bikes, like my Veloteq are powered off a 48V-12V step-down transformer, and completely separate from the controller/motor 48V circuit from that point on. The connector that powers the controller tends to work loose, especially in cold weather when the plastic is more brittle. I suggest wrapping it with a zip tie.

"go green; get out of the cars."
i agree 100% my ecoped changed my life.. i was a fat bastard who drove to go anywhere now im a fat bastard who rides everywhere :)... i know im still young and i should ride conventional bikes but.. this is SO much more fun
and its friendlier to the environment :)
It sounds like one of your brake lever switches are stuck in the closed or engaged setting, thus telling the controller not to allow the motor to run because the controller thinks the brakes are on. You will need a technician to disassemble the upper column of your E-Bike to diagnose this problem.

@TheNoelest Hi Argentina, these bikes were designed for all weather. It rains you and the bike will get wet and be okay. Batteries will last 18 mons.; 2 yrs.; maybe onger with GOOD care. You use the bike, charge it. You put the bike away for a long period of time, charge it full first and then go back and charge it within 6 wks. Do not leave it plugged in day after day. When it is charged unplug it. Have a good ride.

What's the idea of the chain if the motor is in the wheel ?:)

@tbyte
Well, some politician with not much to do decided, "You call it a bicycle, it must have pedals.
China has between 70 - 80 million on the road and not one pedal. Who's ahead of the game. (China - Canada)
Politicians wanted us to do the right thing, go green; get out of the cars.

@horsehockey22 I actually didn't know that there is a country that pedal are required :) . Can't You use some kind of fake ones. I mean to be there just for the looks, the lightest possible so to not add to much weight because steel pedals, steel chain, steel gears ...

@tbyte Not that I'm aware of. It isn't the weight you need to worry about. If you bank too deep the pedals hit the ground. This isn't a motorcycle, not the same power and you have to make that noise yourself.
