Will any dealer that has Bosch bikes do this, or does the dealer have to carry the same brand of bike too?

Not the way it's currently proposed, it will only be for ebikes purchased AFTER the bill passes. But who knows what will be changed between proposal and passage?!!!

I like the sound (tone), volume, and looks of the Crane E-Ne. I got the stealth black as it fit the mood of my bike, but they have other color options. Crane makes a number of nice options. I also looked at the Knog Oi luxe, however I was concerned that some of the sellers on Amazon were...

9 mile shakedown ride yesterday, even though it was chilly! Sun was out, couldn't let the bike sit there any longer without a more proper ride than the first which was just bedding in the brakes and running through the gears! Also had the newly purchased and installed Terrano XT. As my wife...

So far I've only done a test fitting on the 1 1/4" hitch, and it was good. Each time we've gone to ride though, my middle daughter has had the car, or we've also been taking our two youngest with us and their bikes are inside (Yukon XL). I do have the lift option as the Yukon hitch is so high...

@smorgasbord is right. The cradles that the wheel rims rest on is padded to help protect the rims. I have some 6x6 1/4" neoprene patches from another project that are self-adhesive. I'm probably going to add those to the cradles to provide even more protection. If you are changing which...

All the other bikes should be laid down (bowing) to that!! 🤣

I've mentioned elsewhere here on the forum a few times, I bought a MoTow rack and the optional lift kit which brings it in to the same price range as the Easyfold XT and the Kuat, both of which were on my original shortlist but unavailable last year when making my purchase. The MoTow is all...

After renting some bikes last year we ordered two bikes, a Biktrix Stunner LT 20"x4" step-thru, torque sensor for my wife; and a Bolton Blackbird for myself. I knew the BB wouldn't arrive until Nov at the earliest, so I rode my 26yr old Diamond Back Response Sport with my wife. Decided last...

We live in Ohio and started using eBikes last August. Also joined a FB group specific to eBike riding here in NE Ohio. I believe there's been a couple of reports of issues, but most people are of the "don't ride like a hooligan and draw attention" ilk.

This is a Bulls Sentinel 2.0 with the Rockshox Pike Select+ 29" fork, I think it could handle the 2.8 if I wanted to put that on there. If I order a 2.35 and a 2.6 and the 2.6 fits the rear with reasonable clearance, maybe I'll rtn the 2.35 for a 2.8 for the front!

Rim width is 35, so no problems there. The 2.8's might have been pushing it!! I could get both at the 2.35, or I could get one at 2.6. Getting one of each will help me know for sure if the 2.6 will clear the chainstays etc. I would install it to check for future reference, then move it to...

Had a 26" Blackbird on order since August, canceled it a few weeks ago though. Timing and the change in stand over height killed it for me at 5' 9" and a just under 30" inseam. The 24" would have been barely OK. Over on the FB group you might get more feedback. The taller you are the better...

So getting JW's 2.6 for front and 2.35 rear to replace my Super Moto X 2.4's will improve off-road (rails to trails, parks, some single track), be just as good as or possibly improve road (especially in the wet), and improve puncture resistance. Correct?

The front is a Rockshox Pike Select+ 29" fork with ample clearance. Maybe I should buy one of each and try them. If the 2.6 doesn't fit the back, it will for sure work on the front! Any issues with running two slightly different sized tyres? If it works, the rear would be 27.5x2.6 and the...

So the bike came in yesterday and I put the remaining 10% or so together. Really happy so far! Here's where I am with the rear clearance. This is with the 27.5x2.4 Super Moto X and a 5mm hex for reference. Should I try the JW's in a 2.6?

Have you looked to see what Bolton has available?

Pretty sure that front clearance won't be an issue, Rockshox Pike Select+ 29" Boost 110. The rear, I'll have to look at the stays and space under the rack and see. I know Schwalbe put out some overall measurements for some of their tires, what's the total width needed for the 2.6?

Bike will be delivered on Monday, so won't know for sure on clearance until then. I'll also probably stick with the SMX's and see how they wear and ride, at least until the JW's are more readily available and have some feedback on here. As for rim size, according the mfg site, they're 35mm.

Ah yes, Gateways! My first IT job on the career ladder was providing IT support to a company who's IT dept. consisted of all IBM AS-400 people! The mgr was the only person versed in PC's and it was getting too much and he knew that only 20 or so people had them but the remaining 100 terminal...
