FLX Blade 2.0 also with the Bafang Ultra motor, Rohloff hub, and Gates Belt Drive: https://superhumanbikes.com/products/blade-2-0

I've been gone for awhile. I don't know if Watt Wagons ever sold any Hounds, and it looks like the owner started a new company called Zen bikes. Zen offers the Photon, which is much cheaper than the Hound. https://zenebikes.ca/collections/electric-bikes/products/photon-electric-bike Motor: Zen...

Hound Supercharged by Watt Wagons? https://wattwagons.com/collections/hound/products/hound Motor: Bafang Ultra boosted to 2300W Peak, Throttle incl. Transmission: Shimano Cassette OR Gates One Speed with Belt Drive

It looks like a fat tire cargo bike with impressive battery capability (3kWh). Has anyone taken delivery? https://wattwagons.com/collections/hound

When in doubt, get the Biktrix Juggernaut. Personally, I think the Monte Capro (One of the most expensive bikes in the Biktrix lineup) is overkill for your planned use. Biktrix and Rize are two Canadian companies that now have bikes in local bike shops in major Canadian cities. Rize is very...

I have a Juggernaut Ultra limited to 500W, but I think the limit is for torque-sensored pedaling only. I can't pedal faster than 20 mph (32 kph), but I can throttle up to 31 mph (50 kph). The 50 kph limit can easily be removed, and the bike will go a little faster: When I push the throttle...

I only ever broke Deore or SRAM components in accidents, not from regular use. I don't consider components expensive to replace in any case, and you will probably be replacing the bike for newer technology rather than from wearing the bike out. I have been riding one of my analog bikes for close...

I have SRAM on my Juggernaut Ultra and Deore on my analog bikes. With the Deore, you use the pointer finger to shift one way and the thumb to shift the other. With the SRAM, you use the thumb to shift both ways. The SRAM feels a bit clunkier, like I have to push it harder and further to do the...

If you won't be carrying gear often and really want the full suspension, appartently the Juggernaut Ultra FS works with the Quietkat trailer, but no rear suspension is more practical if you want to carry more on a rear rack, and the plain Juggernaut Ultra comes with more battery capacity plus...

Juggernaut is a good choice, but I wouldn't get rear suspension if planning to carry gear. Fat tires are enough cushioning for me.

I have a Biktrix Juggernaut Ultra and a Rize Blade. Each is good in its own way. I think that Biktrix has a showroom in Vancouver, and Rize has a showroom in Richmond. Can you arrange a test ride?

I think Biktrix has a showroom in Vancouver: https://www.biktrix.com/pages/contact 2865 W Broadway, Vancouver, BC V6K 2G6 (778) 915-8749 Hours Monday & Tuesday: CLOSED Wednesday: 11am - 6pm Thursday: 11am - 6pm Friday: 11am - 6pm Saturday: 11am - 6pm Sunday: 11am - 6pm Biktrix generally has...

I have owned a Biktrix Juggernaut Ultra for about three years. The only time I broke a chain was when I wheelied on some stairs and hung the bike up on the handrail, so zero drivetrains eaten from regular use. Also, the power can be limited. I got my Juggernaut Ultra in Canadian street legal...

Get a Bafang mid drive BBSHD or Ultra motor from Rize (Rize RX $3700 Cdn or Rize RX Pro $3800 Cdn) or Biktrix (Juggernaut starting at $3400 Cdn) (Both are Canadian companies), and you will have superior hill climbing power.

Biktrix (higher end) and Rize (economical) are Canadian companies that make good bikes with the powerful Bafang motor and throttle. I own one of each (Biktrix Juggernaut Ultra mid drive and Rize Blade hub drive) and like them both. My local bike shop has repaired non-motor issues on the...
