    Just got a Shred

    DaveS - thank you for the pics. This one is on me .. I misinterpreted Court's comment on the display. I thought he meant it could not easily be removed from the handlebars, when in fact he meant it does not disconnect from the underside of the display carrier. With the Haibike setup, the display...

    Just got a Shred

    I watched Court's review on this bike again. I had watched it a month ago when I gre bored of waiting for Juice to restock, and I really liked it, but after watching the video again I did find something that bugged me about the bike - that non-removable display that makes it much more difficult...

    Best bang for the buck

    Hard to say. As of right now, they are still enclosed in a very large cardboard box (along with the rest of the bike !!), shipping out of Madison, Wisconsin sometime tomorrow. :( I am trying to be patient, but it's sooo hard knowing it's soon on its way. I plan on taking 2 days off work just to...

    Best bang for the buck

    That SDuro FullNine 5 gets my vote for best bang for the buck, and its a close tossup for #2 between the Evo Pro 27.5 and the Surface. It really does depend on the trails that you ride, so that is the most important factor to keep in mind. Every guy is going to recommend the same bike that he...

    Has anyone received their May pre-order?

    Was gonna say - it probably dropped off the back of the truck on the lot, and then was eventually .. RECOVERED. But I like Kev's explanation. It has a better ending than mine. ;)

    Just got a Shred

    What a thorough and concise review ! This is what makes EBR such a pleasure to read - when you find someone who genuinely KNOWS bikes, knows what a buyer is concerned with when they go to buy, and answers most of the typical newbie ebike questions posed to a new owner right off the bat. It's a...

    Wider / fatter tires for Haibike Sduro 5.0

    I'm looking at adding Schwalbe Nobby Nic 29x2.6" on the rear and 2.8" on the front of my SDuro FN 6.0. Looks like the 2.8s are too tight on the rear, but will fit fine on the front. I've never run a bike with different width tires, but I think it will actually benefit me with what I'm trying to...

    Has anyone ridden the RipCurrent S?

    I didn't have my financing squared away until mid April, so the Hyperfat was essentially out of my reach that early in the game (but I have always wanted one). By the end of April, I was ready to buy, but missed out on an order for the RCS. I had it in my cart 2x at the end of April and gave it...

    Has anyone ridden the RipCurrent S?

    Considering it will be about another week til the RCS are available for ordering, and its may take up to 2 months to receive it, I am glad I moved on - my bike should arrive as soon as this Saturday, or more likely early next week. Considering I have been after a Hyperfat all the way back to...

    Has anyone ridden the RipCurrent S?

    Wow, the last comment in that video linked above was from the owner, and here it is: I need to mention that since this video, my Juiced Bikes Ripcurrent S died on the very next ride. On May 9th the motor simply ceased propelling the bike. The computer and headlight still operate, but the motor...

    Looking for suggestions on a 27.5 plus ebike

    As Tom Petty sang back in the early 80's 'The Waiting' is truly ... the hardest part. Still no acknowledgement on shipping from the etailer (it had to first be shipped from Ohio to Wisconsin, then assembled and tested, then packed back up for delivery to PA). I was hoping to see it by this...

    Fullsize rack on full-suspension bike

    I bought a FullNine 6 (haven't received it yet) and have an interest in adding a rear rack, so I am following this discussion with interest. My plan was to just copy the Trekking 4.0 rear rack, an XLC Carrymore Systemgepäckträger Alloy Rack with Spring Latch and Pannier Hangars, but it appears...

    Help...Deciding on which dongle to buy..

    HammsBear, were you OK with doing this yourself after watching the video ?? I am new to riding, having only started riding again in the past year, so mechanically, I can't even keep my chain clean and lubed at this point.

    Help...Deciding on which dongle to buy..

    So I watched two videos on the installation, and one slides the Bikespeed RS up into the skidplate, but the other one keeps it tucked into the motor enclosure. Is there a preference for its location ?

    Looking for suggestions on a 27.5 plus ebike

    That is in fact the bike ! The vendor even offered me an upgrade to the FullNine 6.5 for the same price after knowing what I had gone through to get to this point. I didn't notice much difference from the 6.0 to the 6.5 other than the front shock, but I had by now fallen in love with that...

    Quoted Battery Range Standards

    Bruce beat me to it - its just crazy !! Wild west is exactly the phrase I was going to type as well. When you see guys zooming by cops doing 45mph in a 35 zone ON A BIKE you know we are definitely flying under the radar here. Luckily, we are all 6'-3", 180 lbs like me (just look at Bruce up...

    Looking for suggestions on a 27.5 plus ebike

    Nobody has them in stock. I challenge you to find a vendor stocking a 52 or 55cm for under $2998. I found TWO that had them, at $2999 and $3499. Trust me, I called six of them today. Now what you will find is a few listing them on their website, but when you call they are sold out. I found out...

    Looking for suggestions on a 27.5 plus ebike

    HAH !!! And to think my ordeal was over after 'ordering' my HardSeven 6 yesterday !?! HAH !! I received a call from the e-tailer (apologizing profusely) that unfortunately they had sold the last one the day before I ordered. Not too keen on my card being charged after they verified inventory...

    The four best words..

    I prefer this instead "You won the lottery !!!" but to each their own. I placed my order today so I have a week to wait, but I was terribly unproductive at work. I will be a LOT more nervous when it shows up at the door and I have to tell my wife what I bought .. *gulp* Married men, you know...
