    Fat bikes a fad?

    Using the same 557wh (11.6ah) batteries I get 85-95% of the range on my 4.8" x 26" fat tires as I do on my mountain bike with 2.2" x 27.5" and 'road' bike with 50mm x 700c. I do not see the penalty in battery life you speak of? As for motor stress, perhaps I do ride trails that have much...

    The truth: How far can an electric bicycle really go on a single charge?

    First part of your statement is absolutely correct. Adding even 80-150watts of pedal turning to a ride versus just holding the thumb throttle and having the motor do all the work will roughly double your ride distance in most cases. As for speed, each motor has an ideal speed, rpm's in...

    The truth: How far can an electric bicycle really go on a single charge?

    Great article FlatSix911 - appreciate the link and insight shared. I'm new to the forum (just signed up today and this is my first post) and I have been an ebike rider for a few years getting quite active last year and thankfully into this year. I have several Bionx setups with a collection of...
