    Why Electric Bikes Shouldn't Be Allowed on Mountain Biking Trails?

    Update a bit, I ordered a 72V/42Amp Panasonic battery, not for the speed, but the distance. I averaged around 70km with the 25amp factory battery, at 50% pedal input. The bike builder claimed 80 with a full charge, so it was close to the advertised distance. I have ridden most of the off road...

    Chinese Product quality.

    For the last 15 years or so, anything that came from China usually gets stamped as poor or junk, and for some products it stuck. But the last 3 years they have made serious attempts at quality control, even bringing in engineers from parent company's who moved their production to China. In the...

    Well I would hope for support, having spoke to the sales rep, he has been good with videos he took himself during the building process, and answers any questions I had, so far so good. But its the reviews I was interested in, virtually nonexistent, thus my theory that its relatively new to...

    Its cool. I have searched around looking for reviews for the bike, nothing exists. It's either to new on the market, or only known in Europe.

    Why Electric Bikes Shouldn't Be Allowed on Mountain Biking Trails?

    Being the rebel at heart, I have always balked at laws created towards a new sport, and ebikes are a sport after all, albeit a spin off from peddle only systems. There is a Frenchman who used his paraglider motor/propeller backpack to push himself around France several years ago, he was...

    Hi from Europe

    Here is a photo of the drive side. If you are familiar with "Mountain Cycle" and their shockwave downhill bike. The idea is to get to the top ( the particular downhill ride) then its freefall...lol) The south of France has some fantastic rides, and extreme conditions demand rather extreme...

    Hi from Europe

    Running a modified Mountain Cycle shockwave 9.5, with two magic pie motors. I find this forum informative and a good data base, hope to hang around a it. I moved the battery to the rear built off the seat post, I'll post a pic when finished. At present I have 3000W and 60Amp with a maintained...

    Why Electric Bikes Shouldn't Be Allowed on Mountain Biking Trails?

    The view from across the pond might be a tad amused by this debate, as most European countries allow the use of Ebikes on MTB trails, and without a doubt MUCH less debate and open hatred from so called elitists and purists. It ( the American debate) reminds me of the open warfare that existed...
