    eMTB Options For 2024

    For a more rails to trail oriented ride, would the Johnny Watts be a suitable replacement for the Super Moto X? If the latter was a 27.5x2.4 would the JW's in 27.5x2.35 or 27.5x2.6 be better? Or stick with the Super Moto X?

    Motobecane Ebikes Bikes Direct

    Not saying that this is a great deal or a bad deal, but I am curious why Diamond Back would be considered an off-brand bike? I have a 26yr old DB Response Sport and an Outlook. Both bikes are in great condition and still working well. At the time the RS was quite expensive and a brand only...

    Helmet comms

    When you say that you returned them for the Sena's, do you mean a Sena helmet with built-in comms, or the Sena headset that will work independent of a helmet? Thx

    Communication helmets?

    @bob armani did you get the Terrano? Trying to decide between the Terrano XT and the Sena headset (not Sena helmet) as my wife likes her current helmet. @Alaskan Any update, are you still happy with your Terrano? Any issues that have come up? This will primarily be used for intercom only...

    Bose Frames Audio Sunglasses, Walking & Cycling

    Do these have an intercom mode? My wife is petite and is boderline child size helmet wise, so not sure the Sena helmets will work (plus she really likes the helmet she has right now). Was thinking of either the Sena Headset or the Terrano XT. The latter can be bought in a 2-pack for a little...

    Surgery recover/an ebike mainly for hill assist???

    I would reach out to Evan (or some of the other fine folk) at Crazy Lenny's. They have the Yamaha Cross Core and Cross Connect that may be a good fit for you. I would also look at the BULLS Urban Evo 10 with the new Gen 4 Bosch motor (85Nm torque). This is a available in diamond or step-thru...

    Guest e-bike recommendations needed

    A number of rental places use the Rad bikes, and we've used both the 20" x 4" step-thru and step-over and folding/non-folding versions. The small, fat tires make it very easy and stable, as well as comfortable for non-riders to quickly acclimate too. Power/battery wise they have been fine for...

    $2,500 for a Lightweight, Class 3 eBike With Manual Gear Shifting: Am I Dreaming?

    With a class 3, you always have the option to ride slower. With class 1, you're not going to get any assist above 20mph no matter how much you may want/need it for whatever scenario you're facing! Sometimes it's better to have and not need it than not have when you need it! But it comes with...

    New budget friendly Ultra 1000 for $2599

    Did you get the stock fender or the Armadillo fender that they offer for inverted forks?

    Lights don’t work on Bosch Purion system

    Does it have auto lights (light sensor)? When ordering a Bulls the dealer may ask you if you want to leave that setting on, or turn it off so that you can control the lights with the on/off switch.

    Do I Need A Chain/Bash Guard Like This ? ( Biktrix )

    I have a Rock Ring bash guard that I bought about 25 years ago for my 26" Diamondback Response Sport. It absolutely got used and protected my front chainrings. Hopping over logs and other harder materials became a mostly non-issue. Are they for everyone? No. And like you say, for todays...

    Compact fat tire bike w/torque sensor?

    If it has fat tires then front suspension is less of a need, but can still improve ride comfort depending on the variables of rider weight and road surface etc. There are some folks who prefer a rigid fork over a suspension fork because it suits their needs and riding styles better. A cheap...

    Auto lights on Rize X

    I believe the controller may have a light-sensor on it, at least that's the case with some of the Bafang models, and you can enable/disable the auto lights on in the menu system.

    Hitch racks for Cars

    I'm an IT guy and will do some wrenching, but not a mechanic by any stretch of the imagination. The first thing I did was look at the YT videos to see how easy/hard it might be. If it seems quite straight forward I'll give it a go. Thankfully the hardest part of it on the Kona was the...

    New budget friendly Ultra 1000 for $2599

    The red one is a different frame than the others, what gives? I've seen this discrepancy on the website too and was never sure why. I'm trying to decide between the regular with inverted shock, or the Pro!!

    Hitch racks for Cars

    We have 2 vehicles, a large SUV with a 2" receiver and a smaller Hyundai Kona that didn't have any receiver. I installed a model specific hitch to that car, the max was a 1.25" with a 200lb capacity. I purchased a Motow USA hitch and lift and carry 2 60lb ebikes (without batteries) and without...

    Zen Samurai Diamond initial review

    @PDB415 If I'm not mistaken about your brakes, these are at least mid-grade (if not better), 4-piston hydraulic brakes on a 203mm front rotor (180 rear). I know that they're favored by some downhill mtn bikes as an upgrade to stock brakes, so I'm a little surprised to hear you had a difficult...

    Zen Shakti

    Appreciate the update and that you're doing things 'properly'. Just wish the timetable was different!! Don't bow to customer pressure though, no matter how much we may push you for speedier delivery!! It will be much better for everyone to get it built right from the start, and I like the...
