If you are a regular rider that understands and practices spinning, 150 isn't "that" far out there. I regularly hit 130 when sprinting and can spin 140 but not with any power. I'm 57 and 30lbs overweight but in good cardio shape. Point being I'm not exceptional in any way. ;)

NO other websites like this one, clicks often take a minute to load the new page. Like old dial up internet. I've also gotten a few warnings about malware from my security programs. Anyone else?

Did you ride through those puddles?

That's cool, then I'll just stick with the fact that it's illegal (US) and dangerous (too fast) on the bike paths I ride. Just because you can doens't mean you should. I ride motorcycles much much faster than my ebikes and feel safe doing it. I had a 28mph Stromer and still have a 28 mph Falco...

Anyone that thinks the $500 cost made in China bike is comparable to a Haibike has never spent time on both. The devil (and value) is in the details and the big brands just do those really really well. Plenty of people will argue that a Pinto is as good as a BMW too, because they both have 4...

well they expand just fine but then they are thinner and more overfilled than they are designed for so they aren't as thick or puncture resistant as a result. You may get a flat or two that you wouldn't with the correct size.

and no accurate speed reading. Maybe that doens't mean anything to you, but that would bother me. You are also playing with running your electric motor outside its parameters and they are very susceptible to heat. Pass

Easy to lose the little cone spring when it comes off, dont.

NO! That's SETUP, not motor TYPE. My STromer ST1 was one of the most like you describe for a strong hub motor. BUT, go into the programming and turn the boost down and when and how hard it kicks in and you can make it very very close to my wonderful Haibike with Bosch. In the same way, if I...

I'm 230 and I get at least 50 miles out of my 400wh battery Xduro FS RX peddling all the time in the lower 2 levels of assist. No hills. 20mph max speed.

I have the 500w system on my Catrike Expedition and like it a lot though the 500w motor overheats and shuts down (thermal safety switch) pretty easily.

Anyone shilling for Shimano must never have ridden bikes before Ebikes!! They are the most hated name in bicycling for very good reason! They make proprietary drive train components, change them almost every year and make them NOT BACKWARD COMPATIBLE so you have to change out everything. Ask...

in countries where liability is a real thing throttles are another layer of dangerous. Fact that you can be OFF the bike, hit the throttle and the bike takes off makes it less than ideal in walker/bike situations. Also mid drives leverage the gears so you have to know how to use the gears...

Yes, but they take a lot of power! Guys that put them on smaller displacement bikes are usually pretty disappointed. 450cc 2 strokes or even bigger 4 strokes means 40+hp to really be able to dig out of your own way. My dual hubbed motored, fat tired Big Bud Pro bogs pretty quickly in deep...

I dont' think you could run any decent headlight, but one of those "be seen" strips might just work.

I have 3. :)

You can add a dropper seat post to most any bike for $100-200 and they are really nice to have. Offroad if you are setup high enough to pedal efficiently it's too far to the ground for many of us on uneven ground, so anytime you get into rough stuff you hit the button and drop the seat and have...

What you are really saying is you don't want to maintain your bike whatsoever, but you want it to reliably haul your butt 100 miles a week with zero attention. What are you 14? Good luck with that..........................

VERY few Ebikes are ridden for commuting (in US) relative to the number sold. Most are for pleasure and exercise rides and thus the real world commuting needs of some riders will not influence the market for ebikes here. WHO is riding 350w motors and then thinking they are "ready" (or need)...
