Thats an interesting point about the hub spacing. I have considered tires related to comfort , weight and etc and even to the extent what if i want a smaller tire can i just put some schwalbes on it or etc but wasnt aware the hub spacing could possibly outdate my rim options so good point to...

Plus all the giants i saw ...no display, no rack or fenders for commuting and very low wh batteries only 500 wh for top of the line (3k for the fathom at 400wh). And ive seen even the yamaha midmotor has issues with slipping. I felt like giant is more for people who enjoy riding a bike for the...

Yes crazy lennys is about an hour and a half from here. So a full day there and back basically ....we re not really commuters down here (and i did enough in my d.c. days). I would make the trek haha if i thought he would have what i needed or find what i liked etc...but ive been so many places...

Well i grew up on dirtbikes and atvs and working on cars....and trucks...lol. So i have a fair amount of knowledge as far as i can def put a bike together and use a meter and etc but not a bike pro dont reallly want to have a "project". Already had a couple chevys. 😉 i have seen the whole crank...

I dont want a battery pack on the back, i think pedegos are way overpriced for what they are, giants are nice but out of my price range for a first bike and getting what i want i think altho they are the closest to it, not sure about a middrive even if it is a good one. I need a throttle im not...

Very helpful. I have seen some rads around and they are awesome looking and i see so many reviews on people commuting and how fun they are but have thought (from a history of dirtbikes and atving) that the tires would be a "drag" to deal with having only 20mph after a while on just pavement. My...

Hi all. First post and have read thru so many related posts dont have a solution yet. So, i am ready to pull the trigger and thought i would go the local lbs. HOWEVER , as has been noted there are a lot of issues with that namely: 1. The first shop i went to said, we DID carry ebikes and we are...

Spot on. Deprivation of need and American innovation will kill this green dream, and wont big oil be happy. They push you to save the earth, you build a bike and they confiscate it smh. "Racing by" at 20 lolol😂😂 indeed. Ive tried to cross the street to the beach where i live, only to be rudely...

Love this. See no prob at all in fact this is how it should be. Speed on the open road (as much as "28" is "speed" since ive done 70 on dirtbikes with little more structure and far more adverse terrain) and sensible limits on sidewalks and busy paths. Isnt that the way the regular speed limit...

Yes this has been my struggle. The bikes with great specs have no support and the bikes with less than great specs have great support so prob better to go reliable in my case and upgrade at my leisure than try to buy high performance on start and have problems. I need reliability first and...

So are u saying the aliexpress battery uses better cells than the juiced or just the battery you had was degraded ?? I thot juiced used top5 battery suppliers....i totally understand the 52 vs 48 scenario i was just wondering if that was a one component fix for a little more power without the...

If i were to go straight commuter purpose for example i would be looking at the amego, juiced ccs .....idk those set ups with no suspension or cushion and city tires would work. Understand when i say "city" this isnt dc or tampa city this is small beach town congested tourist city with traffic...

Yes i agree. And i mainly use for commuting. But again commuter bikes out there i worry cant withstand our infrastructure. But, ive never ridden a fat tire so its hard to compare by not experiencing. Very few lbs here have fat tire ebikes and most places sell high dollar bikes like stromers and...

Also bc im 50 and i need comfort. I have crashed my eride now 3 times, only once my fault but still, the roads here are rough and lots of unexpected stuff that can cause over the bars sits if not totally focused....wet roads a lot, sand spots, no pavement stretches......the commuters seem to...

Dont know if i missed it, but did u simply change the battery or do the whole kit? Id love to get away with just a simple battery upgrade!!

Well because the 750 on a rad is peak not nominal and really apparantly just a 500w so the real 750 w power isnt there thus the upgraded kits from bolten and diyers. As for fat tires i know not practical daily on streets but, our streets can sometimes be like off roading plus we have the beach...

how long and difficult was the upgrade process ? As in plug and play, modular replace etc or was there wire stripping and connection and mcgyvering involved? Looking at a rover and modding rather than risking a juiced rip and dont know any other that would meet specs at price point of rad after...

I like your set up the fenders and rack and headlight....were those rad or sourced parts? Interested in prob getting a rad and doing mods as opposed to endless searching for perfect bike. Thx!

Yep i agree. Also these hyperfats like juiced and m2s would draw major attention as bike theft here is like a steady employer so i want something not so obtrusive to start ...still i have motorcycle thought patterns so 2000 for a bicycle really makes me want all the power i can get for that...

That footage in Cabo on the rads really made me want one being here at the beach. I just wonder about the ability to commute. More research is necessary there. The rad city i eliminated bc i dont need the drag of the dd here we have no real hills to speak of except overpasses, so being tough is...
