    Yamaha unveils new full-suspension electric mountain bike

    The biggest difference I see is the fork and the drive train. Both forks are comparable - Rockshock Revelation RC vs Rockshox Yari. The drivetrain from SLX vs XT is probably the bigger upgrade due to the multi downshift ability XT offers, but not worth the $1000 price difference. The regular...

    Ok, so I narrowed it down, but still need help please.....

    Have you test ridden any ebike at your LBS regardless of the style you want.? At least ride a couple which will give you the feel for different motors and frames geometry. If you're really are the careful type, it would be foolish to make decisions only based on what you read without ever...

    Your thoughts on building FLX Trail from Frame and Motor Only

    The original spec for the bike is: GEARING DETAILS: 9 Speed 1x9 Shimano Alivio, 11-40T CRANKS: Prowheel a004n, 48T Chainring Can anyone tell me whether SHIMANO Deore M4100 1X10 Speed MTB Groupset 4 Pcs 46T will work? Specification: Shimano Deore SL-M4100 Rapidfire Plus shifting lever...

    Ok, so I narrowed it down, but still need help please.....

    Now I’m getting confused....your jumping among R1Up, Bitrix, Specialized, Haibike, mountain bike, fat tire bike, exercise bike, commuter bike. I get the impression that you don’t really know what you want and your only focus is on the price. My recommendation is to at least test ride the...

    It looks like they are close to developing the vaccine since they are now trying to decide the priority of who gets the vaccine first. Here's hoping! 🙏 https://www.al.com/news/2020/08/coronavirus-update-covid-19-vaccine-ready-by-end-of-year-early-2021-fauci-says.html

    What do you all think about this color? It's an exclusive color on top trims with luxury brands like Audi and BMW. Paint color option alone is close to $4000. :oops: I think it would look really nice on the new UC Pro, but that may just be my opinion.

    Electric Bike Displays

    Does anyone know how the displays work with the motor? What I mean is do I need to use specific display for a particular motor, or will any generic display work? I'm trying to source a display for Bofelli 250W mid drive motor that came with 2016 FLX Trail (Gen 1). The original display that...

    Maybe you got the experimental version that uses the flux capacitor! 🤣

    So do you have a different short list now than your original post?

    What is a cheap bike?

    There's no reason to rant about it without having tested the mid-drive offerings from Bosch, Yamaha, or Brose. You're sorely mistaken if you think that these "higher end" bikes are only sold at LBS or can only be bought for $4000. There's plenty of online vendors like Crazy Lenny, Bicycle Blue...

    Ultra Eagle review

    That bike is waaaaaaay over priced for what you get with mid-tier components.

    Ok, so I narrowed it down, but still need help please.....

    This is probably best deal right now. Haibike’s top of the line trekking bike with high end components and $2000 off retail ($4699) probably better deal than the Yamaha. It’s a small frame 48cm which is good for your height. A 2019 model class 3 speed 28mph. Even if you have to spend a...

    Ok. I stand corrected. I thought it would help to see both sides to understand how the casing is assembled.

    Ok, so I narrowed it down, but still need help please.....

    The Haibike Trekking that @FlatSix911 linked is also a good deal. It pretty much comes with everything, so no need to spend extra. The tires are skinny which will have low rolling resistance. Yamaha PW-SE 250W motor will deliver smooth assist and powerful enough to climb hills easily...

    I would start with removing the cassette first.
