I'm happy with riders having the ability to ride as fast as they want as long as it is in an appropriate place. A street or empty bike path, go right ahead, if you crash and hurt anyone, it'll just be you. On a bike path with people on it, even 15 or 20mph might be too fast. Pedestrians are...

They are one of many making nice bikes in the mtb world. This one strikes me as too little too late. People who love Santa Cruz will surely buy it, otherwise there are a lot of other choices out there of similar worth. I'm sure their marketing people were all banging their heads against their...

Get one of these instead, they have no problem with them on ebikes. https://kindernay.com/

I'd recommend you do a little research into ceramic hybrid bearings, they actually die earlier than steel in bicycle applications and like most bearings are worse the less you spend. Which is the real reason why they aren't used much in the industry outside of racing applications where longevity...

My feedback is that I would never buy a bike with cast wheels. They are heavy, ride like garbage and the hubs are junk. A spoked wheel flexes as it is meant to, giving a smoother ride and better traction. You can also replace the hub if it dies or upgrade it. There is a reason you normally only...

There are several locking through axles on the market, if they really want your bike they'll go after how it's mounted to the truckbed so keep that in mind. I don't trust any method these days for more than a couple of minutes, too many bike thieves out there, it's an industry.

I'm assuming you've got a through axle, one of these will be tough enough...

What do they gain? An entirely new market and waaaay more sales than they had before. The Classes gives them a way to neatly define what they can sell and the governments can feel like they are putting in place common sense restrictions preventing electric motorcycles on bike paths. Which opened...

Woah, a 5th Element, that's a wayback machine.... ;)

The reason is that the legislations aren't being written by legislators, who don't know much or anything about riding ebikes or bicycles or bike paths or any of it. The legislation, like most are, is being written by lobbyists who are being paid by the bike industry, they get a couple of...

He is reporting the same problems others have had, Specialized came out with a new harness to address that issue specifically. Should be under warranty.

You misspelled "integrated" ;) 1) Depends on the group and intent of the ride. A social ride, sure. A hardcore training ride? Maybe not. 2) Anywhere, as long as the rider is capable of riding in a bunch. Riding in a paceline is a skill that needs to be learned. Usually, a new rider is among...

They're not one-offs, they have them for sale. The company has been around for a couple of years

http://www.bikesdirect.com/products/ebikes-electric-bikes-at-near-wholesale.html You can derestrict Shimano motors with an app.

It's your opinion that they can't. It's your opinion that states and local municipalities are held to the CPSA, which they are not. As was already pointed out. If they couldn't, there wouldn't be restrictions all over the country where ebikes are not allowed and bikes are allowed. All those...

The bad part of advocating for class 1 eMTB by pointing out that you have to pedal is that it makes all class 2 ebikes look bad somehow since you don't. No one even knows there is a class 3, I wouldn't worry about it.

Sure they can, and do. Maybe not in your universe, but in the real world it happens. They can ban anything on any trail if they chose to.

That's an expensive mile of walking saved.....

They're swapping in steel gears. https://lunacycle.com/x-1-enduro-fs-ebike/
