Actually, though it was fun, the Spitzing was a little too ostentatious. I know it's crazy, but I even found the ST2 to be the better climber. Lots of vibration and noise in the Spitzing. I liked the M1 Xion and Neon motors too. Those are fantastic.
Looking forward to trying the impulse II...
The latest stuff has been matte black though you might still get a glossy black by contacting E-joe. They might be able to get something out to your nearest dealer.
Considering that hard riding can break frames/welding etc. this is always going to be a concern. I think FS is certainly a larger risk than hard tail and the rear motor would throw off the suspension dynamics (but by how much? Geared Dapu motors used on the Jumper aren't a big deal). I think...
I saw that, Ravi! Looks sweet! And while I'm sure the D-Series is going to be great (50NM peak torque...drool), I'm still curious as to how the current models do on tough trails...
Very cool. And 87 miles is fantastic. If you got it on Friday, then the battery would still be fleshing out. I would expect better distances than this in the future.
Pics please! Perhaps some of your ST2 overtaking your horse?
