    Ebike Motor Power Curve Comparison Chart: BOSCH, Yamaha, Shimano, Brose

    @pxpaulx; I am planning on taking the bike on some Flagstaff trails tomorrow and really test out the new emtb mode. Unfortunately there isn't a Bulls dealer anywhere in my state to do the Brose update, which I would also like to do. Although both are great, I totally agree with you on the...

    Ebike Motor Power Curve Comparison Chart: BOSCH, Yamaha, Shimano, Brose

    I've very surprised by the Brose curve, notably the poor peak performance. I have both a full suspension emtb with the Bosch CX motor and one with the Brose. I actually like the performance of the Brose better. Feels to me like it has as much power, but almost silent. I do tent to ride the Brose...

    Solution for bike-to-bike communication?

    An emtb riding buddy and I have tried many communication devices including trying to adapt our motorcycle Sena Bluetooth headsets to our bike helmets. The solution that works well for us is a pair of programmable amateur radios with the FRS & GMRS frequencies and using a speaker microphone (like...

    And the car driver never stopped...

    But the Alternative Facts are that "a man and woman where standing in the middle of the road and threw a bike at his car." Who you going to believe, the Dean of Students, or that lying GoPro camera?

    Anyone know of a rear bike rack that works with Tesla Model S?

    I would NEVER use a trunk mounted rack on my Tesla. A hitch platform rack is the only way to go. 1Upusa.com makes a very nice heavy-duty platform rack what will support the heavier ebikes. I would also suggest going with the Torklift 2" receiver/hitch for heavier bikes.

    Any Prescott AZ emtb riders?

    Anyone want to meet up for a emtb ride on some of the wonderful trails around Prescott? I'm getting a little bored riding by myself as I only have one buddy that has an emtb, and by nature they are not totally compatible riding with others on "analog" bikes. I'm a strong reasonably fit 58...

    Anyone know of a rear bike rack that works with Tesla Model S?

    I have the Torklift hitch, and a 1Up rack on my Model S. Both are top quality. I even made a "taillight bar" for extra visibility which will hopefully help me not get rear-ended.

    Yamaha or Bosche ?

    I'm probably about 15 lbs heavier, but am certainly a stronger peddler.

    My 2017 Brose Motor, SLOW as molasses, SAD, such a good looking bike..

    I have both a Bulls with Brose motor emtb, and a Haibike Bosch CX powered emtb and I prefer the slightly more subtle power delivery yet just as powerful if not more Brose motor. Plus the Brose is almost silent compared to the racket the Bosch motor makes in the higher power settings.

    Need Software Support on my 2017 BULLS Bike...Resolution Found.

    I have a Haibike Xduro FS emtb with the Bosch CX motor, and a Bulls E-Stream Enduro FS emtb with the Brose motor. I like riding the Bulls significantly more due to the more more intuitive Brose power delivery. Sure, the Bosch has a little more of a "kick" right off the start when in the highest...

    charging haibike yamaha battery via 12v DC (plug in a motorhome / RV / car)

    I hope someone who really knows about this will chime in. I'm tried to figure this out myself as I would love to be able to charge my emtb when out with my camper. I have a 12v 84Ah battery, 100 watt solar panel, a and 400 watt modified sine wave inverter, but haven't had the guts to try it. I...

    Bosch CX motor software upgrade

    I'm hoping that the software update will make my Bosch powered Haibike a little more intuitive like my Brose powered Bulls.

    Bosch CX motor software upgrade

    Looks like Bosch is coming out with a software update. Replacing Sport mode with the new eMTB mode, "and is capable of adapting itself to the rider and the route on-the-fly." "The eMTB mode independently switches between Tour, Sport and Turbo depending on how much force the rider exerts on the...

    When you have no option but to buy online...

    I sorry you had a bad experience with Motostrano. I've received 2 bikes from them at different times, and so did a good friend, and all where in great condition. It was obvious they took care in packing them with additional cardboard in all the crucial areas. I was pleased with doing business...

    First up........LOVE my new Bulls E-stream FS3 27.5

    I've got the similar E-Stream Enduro and absolutely love it. Bought it about 6 months after getting a Haibike Xduro FS RC. The Haibike has been relegated to a "buddy bike" since getting the Brose powered Bulls...

    Is An Electric Bike Worth It? *Noob alert!*

    I agree with the other replies, and think an ebike would probably work great for you. You'll more that pay for the bike in what you save for the parking permit for a car! Just make sure you get a good lock and are able to park in a safe place.
