    I really hate to be a pain but I was wondering if you were able to locate any of the seat slides for the Burley? Right now I'm holding my seat on with copper wire and it has a lot of loose play in it.

    Thanks for checking.

    Quick update on my Burley Limbo ebike conversion. With the 36 volt 500 watt front hub I had throughout burning out controllers so I sent that back and bought a 48 volt 1200 watt rear hub. My first test ride went great. The second ride was a disaster. Not because of the ebike components but because my seat exploded off the bike. I had purchased 4 new slides off eBay because I can't find them anywhere else. Anyway, all four failed and I went flying off my bike to the ground. Thankfully I was going slow and wearing a helmet. Now I have invested almost $1000 and can't ride because of the seat slides. Does anyone have any thoughts? I already tried contacting UManPower but no luck. 20220820_141512.jpg
