  • I have had my Shred for a couple months and have 600 miles on it. I love it. I commute to work on it and take it out on the weekends on both dirt roads and some single track. I have been riding ebikes for 18 months as my main transportation.

    The stand out items are as follows:

    The Torque Sensor makes for a amazing ride.

    27.5" tires absorb a lot.

    Bafang 500w motor and responsive controller are great.

    I have the 14 amp battery. Just did a 35 mile ride on combined road and trail that included a 2000 ft elevation climb. I got home with one bar. I thought that was great given the climb. I tried to be frugal on battery use only using power level 3-4 when I really needed it for the hardest parts of the climb.

    While I know that the narrative is that hub drives are inferior for trails and climbing, the torque sensor on this bike challenges that assumption. I test rode a lot of mid drive mtn bikes at considerably higher price points and didn't like them as much. The throttle has also been a real plus for both commuting and trail in those occasional situations where I need the power and am not in the right gear.
