Thank you for this report. I ordered Tannus Armour for the 27½×3 tires I was supposed to get, but it came with 26×4. EDIT: Talked with Tannus. I can return my 27½×3, and get on mailing list for when they have 26×4 back in stock next month. Evidently they don't sell fat tire inserts on Amazon...

One more, had to check how easy to get into the back of an SUV. I ordered a hitch-mount carrier, but it's covidelayed. I managed with no human assistant, lifting only half the bike at a time, but needed a furniture dolly: Lift rear of bike so wheel is in the back of the SUV but to one side, then...

My bike arrived today, 2 weeks after order. See photo. A few thoughts in no particular order: 1) Got fat tires instead of the plus tires I ordered; I'll keep you posted on what Biktrix does about it. 2) Stock light is brighter than I expected, which is good because it was dark before I could...

Glad you can ride more. When I asked at Leili, as I posted upthread, Frank quoted $270 per battery, $160 to ship one, and $300 to ship a pair, in other words the shipping is not one price for any number of batteries but only gets a slight discount for multiples.

FYI, Biktrix seems to be out of stock on the Beast now, glad I ordered this week. At this moment, I reckon if somebody ordered an MD1000 direct from Leili, delivery time would be comparable.

Absolutely, in California (but still a long drive from RMK). And that sounds like a great idea. Any takers? And if not, does anyone else anticipate needing more batteries? It might make sense to coordinate a group order after we've all been riding a few months. I'm in a hurry to get my bike, but...

Unfortunately price has gone up to $270 per battery, plus $160 shipping, and not much shipping discouunt on quantity. If I could get the spares at no extra shipping cost because they were coming in same box as bike, I'd agree it's a no brainer and I'd ask for more than one. If you buy them...

Welcome Bulldog. I agree with you on the cassette vs IGH, but at the same time, technology tends to get better and cheaper, and I like that the frame will accommodate upgrade to belt if that happens, at some future date when I have money again. MD1000 only comes stock with one battery? My...

Wow, looks like I acted just in time. Nice to know. Thanks for the corrections. -GEF

Here's a better comparison: -Same frame, obviously with same batteries and motor, hence why I think it's appropriate for this thread. -Same brakes, -Biktrix uses house-branded inverted air fork, 25% more travel and thru-axle instead of quick release. -Biktrix uses 11-speed cassette and chain...

You saved money ordering direct from Leili. I spent $3880 for Juggernaut Ultra Beast with A-bars and Kindshock dropper post, basically the holiday discount paid for the upgrades. Also I got 27½×3" tires (price neutral), the house branded air fork, and instead of an IGH+belt I get 11-speed SRAM...

Still? We're in a race. I ordered on Tuesday (1/5) from Biktrix, still haven't gotten my shipping confirmation. They have to install a dropper before they can box it up, so you may yet see your bikes before I do, WhitzATL. Maybe someone should start a pool.

From Ryan at Biktrix, 30A for the beast's batteries' BMS. 48Vx30A=1440W max, so as Pushkar suspect an Archon X1 controller set to 2300W would do no good. The official tiers for this product on the website are 1000W and 2300W, but I will follow-up if 1400W is a possibility.

Thanks Terry, but I'm not trying to "push" anything crazy, just want to make sure my bike can handle a long climb in extreme temperatures. I thrive in desert heat, but gear not so much.

This morning, I spoke with Pushkar at Watt Wagons about getting the Archon X1 controller upgrade for my immaanent Bikrix JUBeast. He expressed some concern about the continuous and maximum power output from the battery management system, that it's probably insufficient at least for the highest...

Funny you should ask: Hi Geoffrey, Two batteries would be 540 USD plus 300 USD, 840 USD. (slightly better shipping cost than one) Frank ------------------ Original ------------------ From: Geoffrey Fagan < [email protected]> Send time: Monday, January 4, 2021 02:26 PM To: Xu Frank <...

Cool, RMK. Glad it's what you wanted after all that hassle. I'm convinced, will order the Juggernaut Ultra Beast from Biktrix on Monday. -GF

Thanks, RMK. I'm looking forward to your ride report. Pending that, I think I've decided on the beast anyway; I'll just budget the Ultra-tow rack after a payday passes and hope it comes back in stock soon.

Thanks for the well wish, I duly gave my wife the hug and credited it to "some Scottish guy". She amazes me every day with her strength of spirit. We've been blessed to be fairly insulated from pandemic side effects, combination of living rural and and working for a utility company. That's...

I have the opposite weather in the Mojave desert, mild winters and roasting summers. Runs 60F (15C) most winter days and only occasionally freezes at night. Wind is fierce enough for power generation, and I'm half way up a mountain so the climbs are brutal. Since moving here I resolve every year...
