    Zen Samurai Diamond

    Don't hate the throttler, hate the game. pennybags said a lot of what I was thinking, but I'd also add that I live in San Diego. It is arguably the biking capital of the world with the massive amount of cyclists, triathlons, and well-architected bike lanes here. It's a popular recreational and...

    NCM Moscow Trail Ride

    I just noticed that cable from the left brake only. To work effectively you need brake inhibitors on both, right? I grew up on BMX with right brake only so I use the front less often.

    Will Bosch be coming out with a way to add a thumb throttle? That's a great aftermarket concept.

    NCM Moscow Trail Ride

    I don't know. It would have to connect electronically to the motor...not sure where those electrical connections are housed as I haven't wanted to break anything open. Are you saying that there is a connection and I just didn't realize it with the stock system?

    NCM Moscow Trail Ride

    Mine didn't come with inhibitors as far as I can tell.

    SONDORS is releasing it's first mid-drive EBikes.

    My guess is they are neighbors since the company is in Malibu where Hollywoodites live to be away from hassle. I saw Schwarzenegger on a Chinese fat bike with a warehouse near his office. It is great marketing photos and cool to see famous people eMTB'ing!

    Your thoughts on building FLX Trail from Frame and Motor Only

    The Electrify Trail FS+ is available from a company in Utah. You may be able to get a nice fitting battery from them as it sure looks similar down to the naming.

    NCM Moscow Trail Ride

    Thanks those are phenomenal prices. I wanted them ASAP and ordered from the USA. Waiting a month from China is, well, Chinese water torture. At this point I'm not updating anything...just brakes/handles/cables.

    NCM Moscow Trail Ride

    I just bought these...cheapest hydraulic brakes I could find with enough cable and they were 4-piston with great reviews on a few sites as I cross-checked. I'm only a few months into my "MTB education" so I am just figuring out all the parts. I want to be able to completely build a bike from...

    Now THAT is how you write a thread intro! Well done, sir! I am captivated and my 10-yr-old is a scootering fanatic with a BMX bike he rides on occasion best of all worlds!

    NCM Moscow Trail Ride

    One of the things I could not find is someone riding on a trail with an NCM Moscow before I bought mine. I went on faith that it would work just fine and I'm very happy with my NCM Moscow (Standard). So yesterday I went ahead and made a brief video. I apologize in advance for the slight...

    Help choosing parts for build

    OMG that is amazing! You have a battery in that bottle? You totally fooled me...you can lock it up and park it like a normal bike anywhere and nobody would notice.

    1st e-bike conversion, talk me up, or talk me down!

    They are driving distance for me. I think they just developed an inventory issue on the HD which may make the decision for me.

    NCM Moscow Plus Single Speed Conversion

    What is this wizardry???!!! I have an NCM Moscow (Standard) and I find myself using 2 or 3 gears most of the time. Great bargain! Curious why you opted to go this route and pretty much convert to moped?

    1st e-bike conversion, talk me up, or talk me down!

    Where did you buy your BBSHD from? I was looking at Luna BBS02 since it comes upgraded - not sure if the "Heavy Duty" is that critical but I do plan on some mountain biking. You've been so active in this forum I get the hunch you will have your beast built in the next 24 hours - or at least up...

    The best eMTB motor 2020....is there such a thing?

    That is A FREAKING BEAUTY...and I've drooled over it in the past but at over $8K I can buy all 3 on my list above. HOWEVER...if I had the $8K budget I'd strongly consider it over just about anything in the market I've come across - including top of the line Specialized or Haibike models. I feel...

    The best eMTB motor 2020....is there such a thing?

    Those motors are all built into brand name bikes with distribution. Is Bafang on any reputable brand? None that I can think of. Bafang is a favorite with the DIY crowd though. Conversely, those in the article are not simple motors to find for the DIY crowd. It's a sign that this industry is...

    Which hydraulic brakes are 4 piston and motor cut off ready

    I believe just about any brake you can add a magnetic brake sensor for $10. Check out YouTube for videos on how to install them. I just bought a set of Shimano M365 for $58 as I saw Bolton Bikes used to use them and I'm not looking for high end - these simply are Shimano and hydraulic which is...
