Hi n welcome,

Fwiw i just wasted 1/2 an hour explaining politely not to depress you why your 350w ebike was a bad idea in the UK with a 250w rated motor limit - Ha

enjoy roaming round california..

Those bikes are pretty good and there's lots of things you can do to make them really good if you like to do stuff. In order of difference and bang for buck, it's hydraulic brakes, puncture proof tyres, raised gearing and improved control system. If you want to know how, just ask.

Thank you for your kind answer.
Yes, i would love to know more about like .
It's an Actbest ranger.
Starting with g51 lcd , only shows me 3 options to tweak, instead of the full options .
It came with a couple of issues, that i spoke with them, and it got to the point, of me asking for refund, and they said i could keep the bike, paying only the shipping fee.
Issues like, the battery fell of on a flat almost regular trail, istead of hydraulic brakes as advertised, i have mechanical. Omg.. unfortunately and unbelievable, because from multiple i saw in amazon, for the buck, that was the only one that came with hydraulics, so , that was a significant topic for my decision. The fork doesn't lock, the battery doesn'tlast...but overall it's a good bike indeed.
Anyways, i decided to ask for a refund, and i believe it would be very costly for them , so they said i could keep the bike , and would take only 100$ of the refund.
So i have the bike with a few issues, i would like to see what i could do, and i am very glad with your message.
I'll wait for your reply.

Thanks a lot.
