94 Ah battery should interest any ebike enthusiasts; an example of power density that will transform all EV's

EBR's review of the mid drive systems mentioned an issue with total motor failure with the TransX M25 requiring motor replacement for several bike owners?.....

The FS3 29 I have had the power issues with was delivered on April 22 and it had four power assist levels and presumably the latest flash; so unless there has been a new update since late April (or Motostrano shipped it without the latest update) the power issues were not fixed for me by the...

IMO, the wear evident on the chainring is beyond DEMO bike condition.

Biktrix Monte 1000 $2200 free shipping. 750w/48v/30a Bafang mid drive with partial frame integration, rack ready, adjustable stem, ready for commute with tire swap out(?)

Not all riders seek the higher watt/volt/amp systems because of a "need for speed". Larger riders with bad knees are one market segment that require more assist than the 250-350w systems can provide. The e-bike speed demons that run illegally on public roads are a danger to themselves and...

I know the fs 3 has a 250w motor, think the 45 has a 350w b/c its a speed pedalec. As far as I know all the Brose ebike motors have belts regardless of the bike brand. I have not seen any BULLS bikes that are cheap or poorly designed across all models. They make great bikes with top components...

Which LBS? Hows the power with the 250w motor?

OP on a $1k budget and your posting Stromer/Focus comparison vid? (LOL) I was recommending the hub motor in case you misread my comment; and a mid drive does have more climbing torque than most hub motors; try that Stromer on a 15% grade without the motor eventually turning into a space...

Are we discussing Semantics? I didn't write the system was designed around the belt. All of the internal parts are designed to integrate and work together; its not like they just pulled a belt off the shelve AFTER they designed the system. My point was the firmware settings may be conservative...

If its easy to do, you might want to take advantage of that warranty while you can and get it diagnosed. Do you pay labor but not parts under you motor warranty?

Given the carrying load, I think you might be disappointed with anything under these minimum specs: 500w/48v/20a system. Try the PAS 250w/36v/15a mid-drive bikes to see what I mean. On your budget you might look for an inexpensive Bafang BBS02 build (750w/48v/25a with a throttle) if you want a...

I have owned a Bosch CX Haibike and was just able to demo an SDURO all mtn at Crank Cycles here on Maui. I honestly think the Bosch CX is punchier than the Yamaha, with a feeling of a bit more power when climbing. Yamaha motor actually gives more assist at a LOWER cadence which is the opposite...

Mahalo for your time and the info.
