    I hope Better Bike is listening to your feedback. I am currently planning a world bike tour. Was thinking of doing it with a regular ebike towing a trailer with a solar panel. But then I saw the PEBL and was like hmmm. 🤔 I wonder if a PEBL could make a cross country trip loaded for touring.

    I owe Eric a big thanks for sparking a modification idea that has helped my rear hub issues a lot. OT used the 8 speed internal geared SRAM hub on older models. Mine self destructed not once but twice in 4 years, 3,600 miles. The main issue is internal geared hubs are not meant for tandem( long shift cable run) use. They start to fail to shift accurately then the two internal planetary gears start failing so you can't possibly adjust the cable to get all gears. Then they grind and pop into scrap metal. Erik suggested the 5 speed hub would be adequate, possibly better because the indexing travel is greater between gears. I looked into this and decided to have my local bike shop build a heavy duty rear wheel/hub using the Sturmey Archer 5 speed internal hub with ONE larger more durable planetary gear. $770 later I have a 2 inch wide double walled super duty wheel, extra strong spokes, 2.8 inch tire and a hub that shifts every time. Sturmey Archer also uses a heavier axle and bearing set so I'm very happy with performance, I actually coast faster down hills. PEBL owners should feel fortunate Sturmey Archer was chosen as the OEM.

    • @EricFischnaller
      @EricFischnaller  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Popeye, I'm glad that worked for you. When my 8spd self-destructs, I'm likely to do the same thing. I currently get gears 1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8. And since the 2nd gear only sometimes works, I feel like my '5-speed' isn't really working awesome... particularly since the gears I have is 1, 3, 3.5, 4.5, and 5. Not really optimal. When my rear wheel got loose earlier this year, I had my LBS build my wheel with 12-guage spokes instead of the 13s that Better.Bike used from the factory. They're VERY beefy and should do me proud for a long time. The great rims I have is the only reason they think my wheel didn't blow up completely.

    • @popeyegordon
      @popeyegordon 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yes, these builders buy pre-spoked wheels from wholesalers who swear the tension is right but I can tell you many customers end up with broken spokes and problems. There is no substitute for having a good local bike shop resource.

      Would be interesting to know your experience with the SA 5 speed. I tried one on a bicycle (rotary shift) including winter snow conditions, and it failed. 3 issues basically: 1st is that the old SA 5 speeds had 2 shift cables, one push and one pull, and they now went to 1 pull, with the result that the internal planetary gears may not end up exactly where they are supposed to be, and that partial engagement and “nibbling” is destructive to the gears. I could only access 4 of the 5 gears, no matter how much I fiddled with the adjustments. 2nd issue is that one of the three bearing sets has only a simple dust cover over it, the bearings are visible to the eye just looking at it, and so there is no protection there from water - snow - mud invasion into the bearings. 3rd issue is that it’s a factory pre greased hub, it doesn’t run in an oil bath, and so you can’t lubricate it, the only thing that can be done is to fully disassemble and re grease, and unless you have experience with assembling Swiss watches or something you won’t have the knowledge or tools to do it. A good old Derailleur system seems to me would be better, such as on the DryCycle...?

    Hi if i paid the cash you have , and the front was cracking i would definitely want the company to fix it under warranty; now saying that, a simply put a longer length of aluminium across the front, and as you said with perhaps a bit of old tyre in there as a bit of suspension , just try a simple mudflap , it looks good not sure if its better than a elf , what do you think with hindsight would you buy an elf with the solar panel .

    Thanks for posting Eric. As I understand it, off-road is for the faster speed. They mark it as off road so they can circumvent the legal rules of the road. I'm really happy you keep posting, you are one of the main reasons I bought my bike. They should be giving you some freebies. :)

    Fender add-ons are no big deal, ELF owners have used scraps of plastic or rubber, bleach bottle plastic or even aluminum sheet painted to match. It's one of those simple projects you can experiment with. I used white vinyl roof gutter, shaped with the aid of a heat gun, Durable and matches my white body paint. I even used that gutter, upside down, to make a really sharp looking rear fender.

    • @EricFischnaller
      @EricFischnaller  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      I thought about using rubber, but am unsure as to how to mount it. There's very little clearance since I have the larger tires - if there was more clearance, it'd be a piece of cake.

    • @popeyegordon
      @popeyegordon 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Nothing wrong with trying duct tape fastening to determine the best shape, then when you are ready drop the wheel and rivet or use small nuts and bolts. But I wonder if you do a sharp turn of the wheels, you get enough room. Also could let air out of tires, easier than removing wheels.

    I agree with your thoughts on this thing especially since you may have put into it like around 10 grand something you put that much money into should last a lot longer. I mean if you went out and bought a four-wheeler commercial classed four-wheeler I'm sure it would last you more than several years wear and tear. But six months for that much money it feels like a rip off.

    If you want substantially extend the battery life, use the big one and charge it to 80%. Most of the wear on these batteries occurs above 4v per cell. You can easily double the number of charges by only charging it to 80% or under 4V per cell. You are killing your battery leaving it sit fully charged.

    I just spoke with Fredrick today over email and he said a couple of new things regarding shipping. My PEBL would be shipped directly to my house and the driver is responsible for unloading it. He also stated that the would send a video on how to hook the batteries up. My guess is they are shipping the batteries outside the PEBL instead of them under the seat like yours were. The video will also include instructions for installing the mirrors. I will keep you updated on what I hear.

    • @EricFischnaller
      @EricFischnaller  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Installing the batteries are a piece of cake. They just slide in under the seat and the plug only goes one way so no way to mess that up. As to the shipping, it's my understanding that they've been shipping the batteries attached to the floor of the crate for a while - so they wouldn't have to revisit what happened to mine. Mirrors are simple to install as well with just a few allen bolts to tighten. Enjoy! That's exciting that it'll be shipping soon

    Question about your concern putting wear and tear on the Pebl by frequently putting long rides on it, say every week. What about it wouldn’t last? I’m looking at an e-trike solution for in and near town rides within a 20 mile radius. Do you think it wouldn’t last 5-10 years?
    I watched the frst half dozen or so of your videos and found them very instructive; but their hill climbing pre-1000 or 1500 Watt upgrade left me looking for other sources. Now Pebl might be back in the running.

    • @EricFischnaller
      @EricFischnaller  6 ปีที่แล้ว

      MrBiggles53 mine being one of the first PEBLs with weaker frame design and a lack of experience on the side of the team at Better.bike has me concerned about the longevity of my PEBL. For a bike with less than 500 miles and no crashes it’s got some rattles and has had some repair needs that have been above what I expected. I don’t doubt that a new PEBL purchase would be much more durable having had the benefit of nearly 100 delivered before will be far better an investment. The new on/off road 750/1500 watt switch should really assist in hill climbing too

    • @popeyegordon

      Mr B - did you know 3 ELFs have been used for 4000 mile cross-continental trips? One was a 75 year old woman who wrote a book about it, one was a young Canadian who went to Key West and made a movie about it that can be viewed here on TH-cam, one is still going. At least one ELF I am aware of has 60,000 miles on it. Stuff does break but there is no $5000 motor or $3000 transmission to blow up like on a car. No doubt someone may soon be or or is already on a long trip in a PEBL. That test is part of the source for design improvements.

      Pushyhog my thought is that driving with a vehicle on-road that’s over the e-bike limit could get you in trouble without a valid drivers license. If you were going under 20 and obviously under pedal power I doubt the authorities would look at you twice.
      Repair-wise I’m going to reach out to Kevin and see what he suggests. Also curious to see if this is happening to others or if maybe mine has a defect.

      Body cracks appear on older ELFs in a few particular locations. Eric is wise to work with the factory on the best fix for this. A reinforcing plate between the frame and body shell would be invisible if done right. If removing all that glued on liner is too hard, some thick glue inside and a couple small stainless cap nuts on the outside might work. Or camouflage your reinforcement by making a front bumper that also helps reinforce the shell and fasten tight to the mounting points. I saw a nice front bumper made from aluminum diamond plate with a balsa wood core. A metal shop can whip one up for you.
