Gotcha and after doing the research (pretty much like you said) at that price point the RIZE RX is a very tough deal to beat. That being said, all things considered (with the potential of tuning in the future) I'll be choosing the RIZE RX as my first ebike. Thank you everyone on this thread for...
I'm all ears😁. Looking for at least 750 watts (the more the merrier), with at least a front suspension (dual is more than welcome), for under $3500 (preferably lower 🙃). The best value for the performance and parts I'll receive pretty much.
Alright did some more research and actually went out for about 2 hrs to see the hills I'm going to be riding on, and I decided to go with the mid drive motor. The hills I have can both be steep, long or a combination of the two, making the mid drive more efficient in my case. Now for the motor I...
I was also looking through the forums about the "big 4" in mid drives, however as I was looking it seems that the absolute peak was round 750-800 watts I think. The main difference between those and the bafang I got at least that they were more efficient (there words not mine) and felt more...
It was a Giant Talon E if I remember correctly. The Giant bikes do have a smooth delivery however I felt for my weight at least it wasn't providing enough power for me to see a significant difference in performance and to be impressed by, (it was only for about 10 -15 mins so maybe my view is...
I did some more research overnight and on these threads and it always seems I find new information that puts my decision into question. In all of you opinions do you think a 750 watt hub motor (that peaks around 1300 watts) good for the riding area I live in with my weight of around 250lbs. Or...
Thank you and all things considered I think I'm gonna go with the geared hub and eventually down the line upgrade if I need to. Now I think my final question would be about purchasing either the Juiced Ripcurrent S or Juice CrossCurrent X. I was wondering what would be better for my needs if I'm...
Thank you again for responding, in your opinion do you think it would better to get the model with the most power now and not have to worry about about upgrading for several years, or to buy an experience the lower powered and eventually upgrade in the future?
Thank you all and thanks for all of the confusion as well😂🙃. About how fast could any of you go on both the hub and mid drive, is their really a difference between the two? Also for tires is the handling of the fat tires good for general riding or is it better to switch out the tires for...
Thank you both for replying, I think my main concern is that people with the 750 watt (peaking at 1300 watts) Rize X (which build and performance is nearly identical to the Juiced RCS) say the power difference between the rize x and rize rx is not significant enough to justify spending $1,000 extra.
After a couple months of researching ebikes, I believe I've narrowed it down to about 3 choices (kind of). I first narrowed it down to the juiced ripcurrent s (rcs), as it provided excellent on and off road performance, with excellent range. However, recently I've discovered that a fair amount...
