I got nothing, sadly. My wife just got a replacement crappy OEM one so she can ride her bike. The search continues.

Thanks. Just phoned them and they can repair and maintain the LMT'D

I live in the SFV Los Angeles area and i'm considering a Ride 1up LMTD but so far none of the bike shops I have spoken to will service brands they don't themselves sell. The lack of any bike shops that carry or will maintain Ride 1up bikes is making me want to move to a more 'mainstream' brand...

Yes, as I said in my initial post. They have not replied to me.

I am looking at getting another bike and the Himiway Zebra seems to be a contender. I know the motor is 750w with 86Nm of torque, but I cant find any info on whether this has a peak wattage, like a lot of other bikes do. My wife's Nomad 1 is 750w but peaks to 1200w for instance, but is only 75Nm...

My wife's Nomad 1 display got destroyed in an act of vandalism by some <upstanding member of society> recently and we need to get a replacement. We haven't contacted Velotric yet because she would like to see if there's a compatible third-party display that would fit the bike that has a battery...

May I ask where you got the E22 from please? I enquired about an E22 frame for an M620 build (this link - https://www.ebay.com/itm/133560255318) and was told by the seller that I needed the E06, because the E22 they had was for a Shimano motor.

Excellent. Thanks for the assistance.

I hadn't really considered this bike but i've been doing some digging and it ticks all the right boxes for me. Now if I could find a used one at a good price, I think we have a winner. It looks like it's based on the Dengfu E10 frame. The parts are all good but not exceptional, meaning I can...

Wonderful advice and a lot to think about. Thank you so much! Sorry for the mixed messages. All this new ebike stuff is unknown to me and I probably made some very obvious rookie errors. Apologies. I've built bikes from scratch, getting a raw frame and forks and adding everything from the BB...

Thanks mate, yeah i'm leaning towards the Rize too. I just checked one bike shop nearby and they will service Bosch drives and all he said about a Bafang was "bring it in and we'll take a look at it and let you know." So, not ideal. There's a few more stores near me that might help. Failing...

Yes! I replaced the Bontragers with Schwalbes on my Trek Fuel and I love them. They were my immediate go-to back in the UK for riding the trails there. I'd love a full sus eMTB but sadly it's out of the range of what i'm willing to pay at the moment. I have a Trek Fuel EX 8 back in the UK that...

Thank you for the insight. I agree with you. I've noticed that there's a lot of bikes only offering fat tires. I've only ever had MTBs with 'normal' wheels and my gut instinct is telling me to go with 27.5x2.3. Biktrix say their Ultra Duo 2 can be specced with 27.5x3 but when going into the...

The first thing any new owner should do with any kind of bike is make sure everything that needs grease has it, and every screw and nut is tightened as necessary. I've seen far too many whining posts over many sites over the years from people who just expect to get on their bike and ride it...

Hi all. I've narrowed my bike search down to two bikes, one of which is the Biktrix Juggernaut Ultra Duo 2. Anyone in the Los Angeles area have any insight on what bike shops would be willing to work on this bike, should I get it please?
