Sounds pretty much similar. I forgot I also replaced the rear shock with a inexpensive 1000lb spring shock that works but is a bit bouncy. When I get the new front sfork set I'll buy a pneumatic one for the rear as well. The original shock bottomed out and stayed there so probably broke the spring. I am only 82 kg but the 750 lb shock died. It did get hard use so not too surprising. When they replaced my rear motor they also sent me 2 controllers so I switched them out. I don't think it needed to be done but was easy enough. While doing that I added a small charge spliter and a second battery cable to add a second battery I am building to put on the rear for when I need to go further than 45 km. That is the actual distance I get but I ride hard on very rough trails. Generally, I ride rear motor only on PAS 2. When going up a steep hill I switch to dual motors and downshift as needed. I pedal as if it weren't an e-bike most of the time and juice the throttle as needed to get a boost. I don't need more speed as I rarely ever go over 25 km/h on the trails. They are simply too rough to go faster. I ride 3-5 days a week and a minimum of 30 km each ride. I have on order new Ltwoo T2 shifter and deraileur and an 11-28 cassettte and new chain. At 5,000 km it is time to replace them. I haven't had any serious problems with the brakes but have had to add fluid a couple of times and one tension screw vibrates loose on my left brake handle. After the next fluid change (maybe next week) I'll try and figure out why it is shaking loose.

I did remove the front motor and re-glued the magnets as they were making some weird noise. That wasn't easy but I enjoy learning new things. I also cleaned and re-lubed the gears inside both motors with red aircraft moly lube. I am glad I did as I had a lot of rust in there. I have to cross deep mud pits and water crossings periodically so apparently got water inside the motors and the wiring couplers as well. I have taped over the wiring couplers to try and stop that. I was getting motor errors because the wiring wasn't solidy connected and arcing inside. I cleaned them and they are working fine now. The 9-pin connectors are IMHO a bad design and not meant for this kind of power. I do agree though the motors are reallt 750 watt but it is enough for me. If I understand them correctly the PAS is really a watt limiter. At PAS 1 it is 250 watts, PAS 2 350, etc. The speeds then are limited by maximum watts. It is probably really Amps but same effect. I also used silicone sealant where the motor wiring enters the motor as that seems to be the point of entry. So far, the battery seems to be holding up fine. I only remove it to clean it when I do a full clean of everything. I don't use or need the lights. I do use the buzzer when passing hikers or horses.

Way back in the late 70's I had a Bombardier 250cc dirt bike. This Lankeleisi bike behaves the same which is why I love it so much. I can also add my next door neighbors are also avid mtb riders. They live in Paris and come here to Hungary several times a year and we go out riding together. They are younger than me by 20 years. They also spent 8,000 Euros on each of their bikes. They cannot keep up with me ever and I have to really hold back when we ride together. They also have had a lot of repairs which haven't been cheap but they can get them repaired in local shops (interestingly it usually takes weeks for repairs). I can't do that and have been flatly refused service, even to fix a flat. My wife actually offerred to buy any bike I wanted at any price for my 70th birthday. I decided on this bike knowing it was going to be an interesting bike to ride. I originally thoguht it would fold down into the trunk. Well, that was a huge mistake in my assumptions. Maybe it will fit in a pickup truck but not in any car. I have a Mercedes EQS which has an enormous trunk and there is no way it will fit in there. Perhaps, on an external rear bike carrier, I haven't gone down that rabbit hole yet. That requires adding a tow hitch which is a nightmare on Mercedes EVs.

So, I have had to hone my skills to be able to handle the intricacies of fixing this bike. I abuse the hell out of it so don't mind it. I crash at least once a month in some major spectacular fashion. Lots of road rash, cuts, bruises, etc. I have been mountian biking for the past 43 years (IIRC I started trail riding back in 1982), really since the invention of mountain biking. Professor John Scott was a friend of mine up at UC Davis who was one of the the original inventors. He built the Woodsie Bike in 1953 (my year of birth). My 2nd wife was astudent of his and a member of the Cal Aggie Wheelmen club.I was down at Cal Poly in Southern California remote dating as I had a small Cessna and flew back and forth. I was an older undergrad having spent 8 years in the Army. I was recalled to active duty again in 1982 and spent the rest of my adult life in the military until retirement in 2009. I was drafted in 1971 and re-enlisted in late 1973 for 6 years. I shifted to the ROTC/Cal National Guard while attending University. I got my BA/MS while at Cal Poly and the my PhD at Cornell on the Army's dime.
