Theoretically true. Realistically....well when was the last time you traded in a vehicle because it was too powerful? When was the last time Ford or Chevy ditched the top of the line Mustang or Camaro because they didn’t sell and everyone wanted the V-6 base model? Ever see Ford, Chevy, or Dodge...

I really like the focus on natural feel. Even better eMTB modes I think is where it’s at. But this nonesense of having too much power, reminds me of a conversation with a clueless motorcycle engineer that thought touring bikes already have more than enough power. Who buys anything, e-bike...

Who was it that said, “Better to remain silent and let others think of you as a fool than speak and remove all doubt”?

People who think facts are just opinions are people who can not accept facts.

Perhaps I can offer some insight, or maybe not you decide. For starters nobody on any form of social media is being censored. Nobody has a right to free speech, nobody has a right to spread lies. As Americans we have the right to not have the government tell social media or any other media to...

Common enough. It’s not an everyday thing, but I bet most of us have seen it at least once. A redneck crybaby that thinks us exercising our freedoms to buy what we want, ride what we want, is some kind of offense against his lifestyle. They start with a lifted 4X4 diesel truck and attach a fuel...

Having returned to biking after a long hiatus I’m at a loss. Back in the day chamois lined shorts were the bomb. But today all I can find is synthetic and padded. I tried an pricey pair of shorts, but couldn’t get over the feeling I was wearing a diaper. I thought I would get used to them, but I...

I just googled that, nice bike, pretty much exactly what I’m talking about. While I would love to get out of Iowa, and will one day, one thing I’m surprised to see is all this talk of class 1,2,3 and where you can ride them. Around here if it’s not blowing smoke and making noise...nobody cares...

Nice write up. I went from stock round grips to Ergon GP2’s and loved them. But I used the two finger horns basically for a modified “easy rider” position, just to change my grip from time to time. That provided such good use that I decided to try the 3’s as well. I like them even better!

I bought my Haibike Trekking 9.0 because I wanted a commuter bike that could do everything. And it’s been great. In no way do I think of myself as hard core, but after discovering some dirt trails and how much I enjoy them (truly getting away from it all) I think my next bike will be a dirt...

I really like the Ergon 3 grips I added to my bike, plus a bar end rear view mirror. I also went with the Thudbuster seat post, and I can’t remember the name of my rack bag now, I got it at REI although I’ve seen the brand elsewhere. It fits on the rear rack and if I need I unzip pockets on the...

When I demod a bunch of bikes before buying I found the front suspension to be the most important at smoothing out bumps. So I got a hardtail and added a Cane Creek Thudbuster seat post.

It’ll be the first time ever that nobody heard them coming.

It was a surprise to me too. I was an avid cyclist in my youth, have been away from it for a very long time. So this year in my early 50’s I decided to get an ebike. Things that don’t even look bad, cracks is asphalt that don’t warrant a second thought normally are bumpy on a bike. My first demo...

You must live in a warm weather climate. In the parts of the world that see snow and ice the freeze-thaw cycles do a real number on hard pavement.

The (lack of) suspension. When I decided to spend 3-5k earlier this year to get an e-bike, I tried a bunch. I found those with a front suspension significantly more comfortable to ride, so it's a must have for me at that price point. I rode several nice traditional forked bikes, but they were...

I look forward to reviews. I thought they look like very nice, very well made bikes. Which I expect from Harley Davidson. They also look overpriced and underperforming, which I expect from Harley Davidson. I’m really surprised they don’t have front suspension, even for on road commuting that’s a...

What I foresee is product catered to the US market and not just left overs from the European market. A class 3 is nice, but it doesn’t do it all on US roads. Give me 20 mph on pedal assist, and a throttle to go up to 35 mph. Now I have a bicycle for the trails and a motorcycle for commuting on...

I think they will go back to their traditional commuting ways, but there will be lifestyle changes. I bought an ebike this year after only being on a bike a handful of times in the last couple decades. Holy cow have things changed! Now there are trails everywhere with breweries, restaurants...

Thank you and to those with info on the speedbox and badass box. I’ll look into those and a new sprocket.
