Go tubeless if you can. Just saw Finish Line's demo video at Sea Otter with their carbon fiber additive to their tubeless goo - had like 100 punctures from people stabbing the tire and sealed instantly and still held air.

Ha, so they're the Microsoft equivalent of the ebike world :)

Absent buying utter crap bikes from Amazon or Alibaba, it's not a worry, as nobody is willing to risk a brand selling junk batteries There are batteries and then there are batteries. Can buy lower Grade B or C cells for cheap because they have lower power density. Similar idea with computer...

? He wasn't asking how to swap motors - only about swapping wheelsets on mid-motor bikes.

With a mid-motor, there's no difference than a normal bike to change wheels. Can be done in a few minutes.

Why would they pose a problem? You're not going to climb faster than 20mph and sure as heck any bike goes downhill faster than 20mph. The only time you're likely to go faster than 20mph is on flatish roads where speed pedelecs are already present.

So, who got a shipping notice? Anyone?

Bike share seems destined to fail as mass transit- look at the disaster unfolding in China. Literally millions of ebikes are being scrapped - most are new or almost new. Clogging up every available sidewalk and people treat them worse than garbage - just dump them anywhere. Not a chance...

Why not just buy a mid motor emtb to start? Put some road tires on, or buy a second wheelset and can use as a commuter and a trail runner - two birds, one stone. Rear hub motor bikes don't offer such flexibility. Biktrix offers a hardtail with various wheel options (can request additional...

You probably were looking at the $C prices. There's a currency toggle to USD at the top left. There's multiple Canadian companies offering similar bikes. Surface604, Biktrix, Teo, Voltbike etc etc etc

Not even sure how USFS would even know if you've got an ebike unless it's a bike with obvious slapped-on batteries. Worst I could see is they give you a warning - you'd probably only come to their attention by acting like some sort of idiot - nobody is going to waste their time policing silly...

Lol. I strongly suggest you buy from Rad - seems you're really hung up about shipping.

From Court's review last year: "VoltBike is an online-only electric bike company based out of Burnaby Canada. They recently expanded to a shipping depot in Northern Washington to serve both markets more effectively, and to me, that’s a sign that the business is going well. I’ve reviewed a...

Vast majority of ebikes are assembled in China, or places like Vietnam. USA cannot compete with $1/hr labor.

For $1700, surely you can find a better bike? Court recommends the Voltbike Enduro (best value full suspension emtb). Bafang mid motor is a much nicer option imo. https://electricbikereview.com/best-electric-bikes/ https://electricbikereview.com/voltbike/enduro/

Consider Evelo. Nice bikes with outstanding warranty. Lots of these direct-sales guys are tiny shops with little/no inventory, dubious customer service and weak-to-lousy warranties. Surface604 seems to be one of the better/bigger ones, along with Juiced/Rad. While I'm not a huge fan of...

Almost all are assembled in China.

I'd avoid any bike with a rack-mounted battery. Places a lot of weight in the wrong place (tail/top heavy). I'm a fan of online sellers as price points are better and selection is greater than relying on whatever brands your local bike shops might carry. I'd also look for a bike with fatter...

Does the suspension fork have a lockout? If so, curious why you removed the fork and went with rigid?
