The tire issue is an interesting one. The big Ben in a 2.0 which will go on my partner's ohm cruise, ordered, has a decent tread as you mention, though mud might be worrisome. But the 2.4 tread that comes with the Quest Sport, has the appearance of a less aggressive tread, which is the new...

Great review on the Cruise. As I mentioned on another thread, we just ordered two ohm ebikes. The cruise, and the new quest sport. Should be fun getting to know these bikes. I'm getting wheel sets for both the Quest Sport and the Quest Mountain so I can test out how the width of tire and...

Comes in a black and the colour above. Both matt. I just ordered two ebikes from them, one is the above, but in a black, with two sets of wheels, one a 2.6 (mountain), and one set a 2.4 (road). Tread patterns for each differ of course. The 2.6 has a much more aggressive tread. Looking...

What bike did you buy, the Quest? Good to hear your getting such distance on a single charge. These Ohm ebikes are high quality bikes for sure. We just ordered a pair.

Gorgeous looking bike. We just ordered one for my wife. Glad to here you're enjoying it so much. Stuart

Did you ever recover that bike. sweet looking bike.

It just takes one company with a vision!...to bring the others in line.

that's exactly what I was thinking. I don't think I could have resisted buying one if they had a few models with a gates belt drive. It's like we're at a pivot point in time, where examples of gates belt drive bikes are going to explode within companies like Moustache. I'd love to see that FS...

Those are very interesting points. Particularly the rack being directly connected to the rear wheel. Wish I had some experience ebiking with both so the decision would be more obvious. I wonder how many other FS ebikes have suspended rack and luggage. I hope I can test out a few of these...

Looking forward to your reviews. Almost pulled the trigger on one, but held back - just torn between a few bikes. So it'll be interesting to see how it performs, especially as it seems you'll be biking over pretty interesting country. take some vids. Stuart

Great feedback on bikes. I've been investigating Moustache bikes. As much as they are expensive, they sell and price in Canadian, within Canada, and that usually means you don't get hammered as hard on exchange and / or they are considering other factors into their pricing decisions. No...

thanks Marci jo, it's very possible she agrees that front suspension forks are not necessary for her (even though I find I need one). Re tires, I'd rather see 2 6 x 2.3 and I do see some in the 50 lb range. I'll have a look at Cannondale. I think I have one, but a non-ebike. Enjoy it though...

I'll have a look. My wife is about the same height. The specialized tend to have narrower tires - subject to pinch flats and may be a little less forgiving on open terrain, but they are amazing bikes. thanks for the recommendations, I'll look at the Vado 5 step through. The specialized are...

Technically no, but a throttle is fun. The belt drive - these bikes will see plenty of rain. This year we can do without. Soon, belt drives will be the norm. For people who don't take care of their bikes, it's not bad alternative. thx, Stuart

I'm quite impressed with some of the Moustache bikes though I've not read reviews on them yet. There is a FS fully equipped mountain bike around 53 lbs, which is pretty good, though it's not cheap. I've not seen the bike you highlight yet, but they all see to have appealing designs. Not...

I will definitely have a look. thanks for the recommendation.

My partner is thinking about e-bikes. She understands the benefit of tires that are fatter than traditional road bike tires and had her mind wrapped around 2.0 to 2.5 inch tires, and would have liked a front suspension fork. She'll likely ride rail trail and off road type bike paths, for say a...

And yet I see very few companies marketing how upgradable their bikes are - as part of the allure of their e-bikes. Will they continue to support older models, with modern battery components adapted to fit into older and clunkier e-bikes. I don't know, the production numbers may not support the...

It seems like with e-bikes, the moment you buy your bike, you lock yourself into todays technology, soon to be yesterday's technology. And of course, tomorrow's technology is already in development. We all understand how key e-bike components like motors and batteries and display mechanisms...

So glad you are having fun with it. What an awesome bike.
