Not many step thrus that can do 28mph. Bulls has a few. Cross Mover Step Thru with 350w Bosch Performance Speed motor is rated up to 28mph. (Link Removed - No Longer Exists) How about Evelo Aurora Fully Loaded with 750w motor and NuVinci hub? My wife really likes it because it's powerful and...

35 miles one way commute is a long grind, even on an ebike. I'd check out if there are realistic bike routes - if you're stuck on roads in LA traffic, you're taking your life in your hands.

Probably Endless Sphere forum is a better place to ask than EBR

Skipping can also be caused by a stiff link - carefully watch your chain to see if there's a link that doesn't fully seat on the cassette. Can use a chain tool to free up the link.

The problem is all too many people love a "cause" to give them something to do and somewhere to vent their anger over their useless and inconsequential lives. So out comes the righteous anger if someone dares rides 16mph in a 15mph zone. The people I detest are those who stand/walk/ride 3-4...

If you're riding steep hills, a mid motor is a far better choice.

No, it's not designed for off-road use at all. Tora/Juiced simply say that to pretend that it won't be used on-road, and thus can rationalize selling it. Tora loves speed - he posts vids showing him going 30+mph for extended rides on his other bikes. And even if it does go 40mph, wind...

Look for a helmet with mips technology. Virginia Tech does some real world testing and found 4 helmets that were highly rated. https://vtnews.vt.edu/articles/2018/06/ictas-bikehelmetratings.html Specialized Chamonix MIPS is one of the few 5 star helmets that can be readily purchased at a...

You'd have to have a death wish to ride an ebike 40mph

Nice choice. I was interested in Bulls but ELV left me unimpressed when I had questions, so went another direction. Bay Area desperately needs a good Bulls dealer with good inventory.

The bike is fairly quiet even with the chain. I don't notice it over tire noise. I think they said it would cost a few hundred more for Gates belt/chainring. Honestly, not sure it would be a significant improvement. If Trump doesn't pull his head out, my understanding is tariffs will jump up...

Honestly, the Delta X is a wannabe - not really good for offroad since lacks rear suspension. The Aurora has same 750w motor, but has much more upright riding position and low step over. For general cruising around town, picking up groceries or on packed trails, the Aurora is probably better...

Wife has one and really likes it. About my only complaint when riding is it has cadence sensor that has a bit of delay (half second?) - just something to get used to I guess (I'm used to torque sensors). Very easy to ride. Upright, comfortable sitting position with swept-back grips. Seems...

Shoot. Ordered mine 2 days ago and arrives tomorrow. Could have used that 15% discount...

Check out the Evelo Aurora https://www.evelo.com/electric-bicycles/aurora/

My understanding is Court sold his Levo a while ago.

Lol. You've been around Silicon Valley techno-babble too long.

Wouldn't call that an emtb. More like an urban/trail bike. Still, that new 720wh battery and overall design is very nice. Their 2018 Atom X Lynx 5/6 Pro models have same battery and similar geometry with 5" and 6" suspension and are using Brose S motor. Curious if they move to Shimano Steps...

Dunno if anyplace stateside offers tuning kits. I remember several people saying their LBS had tuning kits in the store available for purchase. There's a ghetto hack where you relocate the OEM speed sensor and magnet from the wheel and attach to pedal (glue/duct tape etc). No need for buying...

Fully Loaded also has nicer components and larger battery. Little reason to settle for the smaller motor imo.
