Welcome to Electric-Bikes.com

The drive chain connects the pinion gear (off the planetary gear assembly) to the sprocket on the hub. It is like the #25 chains used on the Currie Electro Drive kit and Currie scooters. However, it's actually a #25HA, meaning that it's a heavier/stronger chain that is 0.017" wider than a standard #25 chain. Because the chain is wider, standard master links don't fit. You'll need to contact a LashOut dealer for a replacement master link or switch to a stock Currie #25 chain.

During 2005, the motors on the LashOut electric bike were "improved" to last longer by reducing their acceleration. Unfortunately, when they made the change, the manufacturer also changed other aspects of the controller such that:

1. The low-voltage detector is set too high (20.5 volts rather than 19.2 volts) so your range is less than usual (5-7 miles rather than 8-10).
2. If the throttle wire is unplugged while the system is OFF, and then the system is turned ON, the motor will turn on to about 1/3 maximum rpms.
3. If the throttle wire is unplugged while the system is ON, the motor will turn on to about 1/3 maximum rpms.

(In the both cases #2 and #3, squeezing the brake will cause the motor to stop.)
