    Just took delivery of an Ocean Current

    Kenda Block 8's are terrible. Tora did you a favor and saved you some $$.

    Isn't it ironic

    This is the precise reason I bought my eMotion Evo ebike. Integrated battery and looks that don't scream Look at me, I am an ebike!" I love trail riding and keeping it "stealth" and riding slower around people, make me able to ride any trail I want.

    $2500 for Fat Bike budget

    I love riding fat ebikes on the street or off road. The roads around me are not very good, so the cushy ride of a fat bike is perhaps the smoothest you can get on almost any bike. They also feel more sturdy, solid and safe. If you have a good motor and at least 48v battery, the extra size and...

    should i buy this sondors?

    Li Batteries also die if charged then stored at 100% unused for long periods of time. If the battery was stored a 50-70%, then it will most likely be ok. However, the original Sondors are over 3 years old now so who knows. You can always charge it up full and then test the voltage to see...

    Best Lock for Ebikes

    There is no single lock that a $25 angle grinder can't cut through, however, you can make it more difficult and cause a thief to want to just pass on your bike and move to the next less secure bike. I use a combination of 2 locks and cables and haven't had issues yet. It does add to the weight...

    Front suspension forks

    Most of the front suspensions which come on the most cheaper ebikes are adequate but not great. These are your standard Suntour, Mozo, Top Gun etc. If you really want a really good front suspension you're going to have to pay some money for RockShox or Fox etc.

    Why do we ebike?

    I got into ebikes about 6 years ago. I currently have 5. Then shortly after I got into electric motorcycles and now I have two. Then an electric car. I'm guess I'm not a fan of gas-powered anything anymore. I consider myself a pretty hardcore mountain biker and ebikes add to the excitement...

    Life span of an eBike

    Pretty much everything on any Sondors ebike is still upgradable and available. The Sondors parts section alone has 64 parts listed. There are 3 other online stores which carry components for Sondors. When you sell 30,000+ ebikes, you have options for sure.

    Don't think this issue can be permanently resolved since it is a design fault

    Just got a Shred

    Sad you have to do these work arounds to make your bikes work properly. Guess I'll add Surface to my do not buy list

    What are your favorite 'fast E-bike approved' helmets that you own?

    If you are going fast and want maximum head protection, nothing less than a full helmet will do. Increasing speed significantly increases the likelihood of sustaining facial fractures directly mandibular fractures. Our study suggests that e-bike–related trauma may involve serious injuries and...

    Life span of an eBike

    If you need an ebike battery rebuilt, I recommend Nethers. They do good, work, reasonably priced and use quality cells. https://netherswholesale.com/. John will rebuild just about any pack

    Life span of an eBike

    I have a 2013 Polaris ebike that still runs with no issues. Just rebuilt the battery after 5 years and now it is good as new. Other than regular maintenance, there is no reason why this could not last another 5 years easily

    got my RadRover

    Replace those Kendas with some "good" tires and get a better ride, quieter ride, more puncture resistance and probably a wee bit more juice left in the battery

    frustrated rant: the more i learn the more i cant find an ebike

    Thanks Bob. I also like the EZ Motion Big Bud Pro + which essentially has the same system but on a fat bike with a slightly larger 600wH battery
