Sounds like fun! And yeah I agree, you probably could be a little more efficient in eco mode handling the Pas on your own. But that auto assist sounds cool.

I'm pretty much convinced that even at this early stage of my eBike "career" I could take the same 50 mile ride and run out of power one time and have 2 or 3 out of 5 bars left another time. Power management makes a HUGE difference. Average speed of 10 mph vs 15 mph helps, a lot. Slow vs fast...

Voltbike Yukon 750 here with a little over 500 miles...As I've figured out PAS and gearing I've also been able to dramatically increase my range. I do some off-road and a bunch of Northeast Ohio hills. Rarely do I go above a 5 or 6 peddle assist (out of 9) and I've found that 25-30mph or so is...

I am by NO MEANS an expert, but I don't think a mid drive would require more skill. Maybe less because they are more bike-like in weight and handling. As an example, the Specialized Turbo Como is hugely comfortable (for me anyhow; 6'2", 210 lbs, 69 years old), very easy to ride, weighs about...

Hey Paul, I chose the Yukon because it seemed like a good bang for the buck, I am 6'2" and wanted the 20" frame, and because they answered their phone and answered my questions. Biktrix was also on my short list, but I may have had trouble reaching them. I am ordering a Radcity for my wife, so...

Hey Corrie, I'm also new to this eBike world so maybe what I've figured out what worked for me (so far) will be helpful. With 4 surgeries on my left knee (2 from football 40 years ago and 2 a couple years ago from a minor motorcycle accident) plus a total right hip replacement a year ago, my...

Thought I'd write a brief update....I am starting to figure out what this eBike (and, I guess biking) thing is all about. At first I found myself trying to go fast (I'm a motorcycle guy). That was ok. I could easily go 20+mph on the Yukon. Lately, I've found myself going slower and enjoying the...

I should add, for what it's worth, that I probably would not ship to a bike shop if I had it to do all over again. At least not a Voltbike with the way they pre-inspect. This afternoon I'll adjust the handlebars to make the reach a little more upright and take off the rear light to test power...

Ordered the Yukon 750 Ltd April 6th. Delivered to a local Cleveland, Ohio area bike shop May 1st. By the time I saw it the shop owner had it up on a work stand. And, yeah, it's a good sized bike. He was going to look it over that afternoon and asked if I minded if he rode it (he has a...

My LBS did say to come back for a no charge check-up. I'm a motorcycle guy and pretty much expect a shakedown cruise on this bike to be worthwhile. At least that's been my experience with motorcycles over the years. Thanks for the 100 mile advice. Hopefully, it won't take me long to get there...

Yeah the bikes appear to be set-up well upon delivery. But set-up is not the only reason I am shipping to my LBS. For me, $85 is cheap "comfort" insurance, plus I wanted to support the store. Not to mention that I probably would not recognize an issue in the unlikely event the bike/bike...

I'm going to order a Yukon 750 and have it shipped direct to a LBS for set-up. Based on what I've read the set-up sounds pretty straight forward but I think establishing the relationship is worth it. Plus I'll be buying a few accessories including a rack from the LBS. The owner of the shop said...

OP? Isn't Sheriff Taylor's kid?? (Sorry...had to do it.) Have only looked at the Schwalbe Marathon Plus as I think it is now standard on the CCX. However, I checked some posts on other threads and saw that you took a pretty good spill on those and you wondered out loud if the Marathon Plus's...

The Como 2.0 is a great fit for me and is priced similarly to the CCX and Rip Current S. Whatever bike I choose, commuting will be done sparingly whereas exploring will be the more common use (therefore the preference for a wider tire). So, high top end speed while having it would be a bonus, it...

I'm with yah on all that. I rented a fat bike for a couple days (hub) and initially thought that was how I wanted to go. The throttle was helpful in sand and a couple other applications. The first mid-drive I tested was a Turbo Como 2.0 and it honestly blew me away. Long distance speed wasn't...

Yeah, just being able to put it in the back of your CRV would be great! You probably know about the bike racks with ramps.

FWIW...I'm pretty sure a CRV has more interior room than a 2018 2dr Wrangler and a bike should fit in there a lot easier than in the Jeep.

I'll be using a bike rack as my Jeep is a 2 door soft top Sahara. But my guess is I could take the front wheel off and angle it in there (back seat removed and passenger seat tilted up, of course). I'm guessing I would need about 60". The more I think about, the more I think it unlikely I'd...

That's interesting. I thought there might be a few folks using their Cross Current in the same way I intend to use it. Thanks.

Most of my time and miles is spent on paved bike paths and roads, but about a third of my riding is dirt paths, grass hills with moderate to brief steep grades, paths through the woods, etc. Fenders not super critical. Speed nice but a lower priority. My first ebike so don't want to spend Strom...
