Yeah, it's a little confusing the way the order form is laid out. The hub drive is the cheapest, at $600 less than the base mid drive with mechanical brakes. Then comes the upgraded mid drive with hydraulic brakes and fenders, bigger battery and lights. He also used to have a 750 watt option...

Oh yeah, but 30 plus km/hr as much as I can, and top level of assist. Feel like god normally. Big river valley to go through, works great. Got the smaller battery.

Well, I forgot to charge mine when I got home so I found out the range for me is about 30 km. Did the 10 km back from work tonight on manual and it was a long slog. Figured out why I'm the only one commuting to work on a fat bike. Might bump up the tire pressure from 10 to 20 psi in case I...

Both Fatbikes? Same tire pressures? If not, there's a good chunk of the difference.

Kinda true, but since the Bafang keeps it's weight down low and centered, especially with a downtube mounted battery, it doesn't feel heavy to pedal around and maneuver. My fiance's ancient 'Jeep' regular bike, on the other hand, weighs the same and is trying to crush you every chance it can get.

Just like a regular bike, at least mine.

Not enough gear maybe? I've no problem pedaling away at my legally limited top speed of 20 miles/hr, and that's on a fat e-bike, with 10 psi in the tires. Shift up, up the assist, feels like I'm superman. Only has seven gears, but with the power on tap about 4 would be lots.

Is there not something you can set in the controller? With the Juggernaut (also cadence only, I think) the difference in aggressiveness of the power assist is very noticeable from 1 to 5. I will knock it down often in trees, tight trails, around crowds of people, etc. Combined with downshifting...

My seatpost had 30.4 stamped on it. It would make sense the seat tube is 30.6 as they are usually .2 difference in size. I found a 30.9 to 27.2 adapter I had lying around fit, after a bit of twisting.

Pretty sweet deal compared to Bodyfloat, Thudbuster, etc. How would it compare to a basic telescopic type? I find mine 'takes the edge off' but is not cushy by any means.

Yeah, I thought it was interesting, what appears to be the same fork is either $60 plus $60 shipping with one outfit or $120 plus free shipping with another. As they appeared to be the same unit for the same end price I went with the 60 plus 60 option as they shipped DHL (actually Fedex), so I...

Something like this: http://www.voltbike.ca/voltbike-elegant/voltbike-elegant-white.html And just remove the pedal assist controller? (assuming it has one)

The fork is here: http://www.aliexpress.com/item/promotion-26-4-snow-bike-fork-135mm-fat-bike-suspension-fork-Beach-Cruiser-fork/32280079915.html $60 plus another $60 in shipping I've got the smaller 10.4 battery with the 750 w motor. After I go to work and back, about 20km/13 miles, the...

Yeah, everyone I let ride it gets those same big eyes and little kid look. And I'm finding it doesn't get old either. These e-bikes are going to be huge. Funny how the main bike makers have not clued in to this market yet. Institutional inertia, I guess.

Interesting, just checked mine and it's on the other side, could well have switched it when I changed the forks. Seems to work. So, what do you think of the bike?

Yeah, enjoy your fatties folks!

I was wondering myself how mine functioned. If you have a name brand and model you could google the specs, it's a bit harder with no-name units.

In the fork basically you need something for suspension (to absorb hits) and something for dampening (so the fork doesn't bounce around). Most forks use a metal spring for the suspension, and oil being pushed through restrictions for dampening. Some use air as a spring, lighter, easier to vary...

Yep, lock out on one leg, preload on the other. 1 1/8 straight steerer, quick release 135mm hub. Just over 6 lbs, compared to around 2 for the rigid fork or 4 for a Rockshox Bluto. Steel lower legs and tubes, alloy crown. vs: Rode it about 20km yesterday to work and back. Smooths out the...

Welcome! Pretty sure you're going to love it. Myself I got the suspension fork in this weekend, and installed. Drove it to work today, and it feels very good. Will give a more detailed review tonight.
