Never said it was, but it is mid drive 1000w and my comment was on that part.

I ride with a 1000w mid drive bafang with 160 nm of torque. I ride fat tire bikes because I like to go off road, mud and snow!

There is no such thing as "the best". Its all personal preference as to your needs for a bike. For some a $700 bike might be the best. For others a $5,000 bike might not be good enough....

This is an e-cycle, not an e-bike. Still looks fun, but will ruin it for the ebikes if they bring them out on the bike trails.

Many areas in So Cal and elsewhere are restricting ebikes, and some confine them to roads only. Its a growing trend, mostly due to kids being kids and exceeding the 15mph speed limit of most trails or riding fast on sidewalks. Its not hard to predict when you throw these high power ebikes into...

I would agree with this to a point...but, if someone is totally new to ebikes they really don't know what they will want until they start riding. You spend lots of $$$ on the unknown and find out a year later its not really what you wanted, its a costly lesson. This is why I like the idea of...

Since it is plastic maybe you could try some thin velcro?

I bought my first ebike in 2019 after I saw my friends fat tire bike and I thought....I need that. Prior I had stopped riding bikes because my knees couldn't take the hills any longer. Of course the ebike has resolved that and now that I've gone to a mid drive I find the riding even more...

I have a mid-drive, I stand and pedal when tackling steep terrain on my ebike just like I did on my non ebike. I don't know what controls one would need to be changing while they are standing/pedaling?

Your need really depends on your surroundings. If I didn't have goat heads I would not have needed Tanus liners IMO. Since we do have them, I would not be riding without them. As a kid in the 70's we just had to get used to fixing our flat tires, but I also think our bike tires were a bit...

Dish soap is what you use to lube tires... I learned this in auto shop in highschool way back when they had auto shop classes... :)

My first ebike cruiser I purchased I ended up with a flat the 2nd or 3rd time out, real pain in the butt. I purchased Tannus and never had a flat afterwards (2 yrs). I had then sold my cruiser and bought a Cobra Pro 2+ yrs ago and with the Tannus I added I have yet to get a flat. I installed...

I'm 63 and 6'3"..... :eek:

In the USA if you work in the government you get lots of paid days off. The private sector (real world) not so much, maybe 6. My job we get Christmas, new years, thanksgiving, july 4, memorial day and labor day.

Same mid drive motor as the Himiway Cobra Pro I ride!
