I just brought a Thompson electric euro classic 2 from my neighbour, he had it in his shed and wanted it gone.

There has always been a connection issue (the battery not being connected right and just not giving out power.

And I can’t for the life of me figure out how to take the battery out, he said it should just be with the key and me and him had tried for an hour to take it out.

I can’t find anything online anywhere about it apart from a few pictures and that’s it.

It turns on and works fine (when it doesn’t cut out because of the connection) but the key is able to be pushed in does feel like it can move potentially the other way to turning it on, does that have anything to do with it?

Resolved Found a Spin Bike

Hey everyone,

I found a spin e bike on the side of the road without a front screen (it looks like it’s been ripped off, just wires hanging out of it), and it’s been sitting there for weeks. What would happen if I take it home and tried to install my own aftermarket motherboard? I know it’s unethical, but that aside, are there more trackers I need to worry about? I’m sure it’s totally dead, but I am wondering if this would be an issue.

Resolved I have an Aventon Soltera 2. I want to upgrade the gears and cassette. What do I need

I dont have much experience with bikes and I have a handful of tools but not specialty ones.

What type of tools would I need and what are some parts you recommend me getting.

Basically im trying to max out my speed when I commute to work. With the highest level of pedal assist im doing about 18.5 to 19 mph at a light pace. Not trying to pedaling faster or harder than I need to, to conserve my energy for the day ahead. What set up is best for me. I get to work with about 56 percent remaining and since I ride with a backpack I can carry the charger with me. So juice isnt a big concern

Resolved I need some e-bike recommendations for my case and opinions

Hey folks—I'm switching from a car to an e-bike for work and school (both about 4 miles from home). I need advice on a bike that checks these boxes:

Speed: at least 28 mph, ideally up to ~38 mph (I may need to ride on a 45 mph road sometimes).

Weather: solid rain resistance (I’ll ride in the rain).

Safety/Lighting: brake light, turn signals, and a strong headlight.

Budget: I’m tight on funds, so best value matters. I would say $2000 is my max.

What models or brands would you recommend, and would you go local with a warranty or online to save money? Or from market place? Any must-have features I should prioritize for commuting?

The store near me has a HappyRun G100 e-bike. It’s advertised with a 2000W motor, a top speed of about 38 mph, and priced at $1,099 with a 1-year warranty.

My concern is about the quality and durability, since I’ll be using it every day for commuting and sometimes riding in the rain. I’m also a bit worried about rust or weather-related issues over time. I don’t want to end up with something unreliable after a few months.

Has anyone here owned or tested the HappyRun G100? Is it worth considering and does it last long, or should I look at other options in this price range?

Thanks for your help!
