That DJI system is pretty impressive. Nice review here: I'm curious to see pricing and availability for the US market. Also wonder if other bike vendors will put this DJI system in theirs.

Is it just me or is the Specialized naming/number scheme very confusing? Then you pull up the website and they're all mixed together.

Probably. Got a pic? Could it be something with the hitch socket or is the twisting all in the rack? Generally you should put the bikes closest to the car not way out on the end. But yeah, it should be able to hold more than one bike. I went with a 1up rack, which is great and expandable...

Hey shane, Please post pics of scenic trails in beautiful Ireland so we can be jealous!

I think it's good you're taking careful consideration of the weight. A lot of people are first drawn to more powerful entry level bikes and they can be quite heavy. Although all that weight doesn't matter so much while riding the average trail, it makes a big difference when you have to lift...

Just say, "It's for the other hair."

Well I for one, was getting into it. It's an engineering failure on a small scale and at a different level, a shopping vs. repair challenge. The kind of stupid stuff I enjoy puzzling over all the time. On the engineering side, you can imagine better choices in the design of both the mounting...

Not an EV, but my smaller Subaru can handle two ebikes on the back hitch carrier: Your carrying capacity will depend mostly on the hitch receiver you can fit and the rack you get.

In case you and six friends can agree on going somewhere on bike: On the Sparta end of the Elroy-Sparta trail in WI. This is from one of the tunnels:

I never bother tightening that knob. Everything stays in place fine.

I've tried a few different mirrors, and this one has been the best: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0B6R8RYJD/ Occasionally needs adjustment, but the field of view is great.

This is not a clown suit or particularly garish, but since we're talking specialized biking clothes, I thought I should add my favorite lightweight sun shirt from Club Ride: https://www.clubrideapparel.com/collections/mens-sun-shirts/products/helios-sun-shirt?variant=39695657762887 This...

I'm not familiar with any of those, but I'd point out that there are many options in this category, it all depends on what's important to you. One thing that's under-appreciated is the weight of these bikes. Consider if you're going to need to lift this onto a car at some point or carry it up...

I just bought the Cannondale Moterra SL for 7K. I hate paying full retail for something I know the price will drop on, but it had that perfect balance of weight, specs, and power that I was wanting, plus a local dealer. And it is pretty awesome. Oh well, I figure it's my one luxury this year...

I think what you may learn is powerful ebikes are a lot heavier than you imagine. My big powerful one is about 55lbs plus all the junk I strap on, and it's a beast to manhandle. I can't imagine dealing with that 85lb dual motor machine. Trust me: lighter is preferable. Anyway, I think your...
