    Why do the top manufacturers embrace 36 volt/ 250 watt power systems?

    On Maui I have never encountered any police that even check if you have a bicycle license/Registration let alone the wattage your running; literally never in 25 years here. Our last chief of police backed into a Harley with his truck and then took off; he only got caught cuz of parking lot...

    Why do the top manufacturers embrace 36 volt/ 250 watt power systems?

    No doubt the day will come where all mid-motor ebikes will come with belt drives so manufacturers won't be paying warranty claims; and the chain will be a part of ebike history. Like a model T.

    Thudbuster vs Kinekt seat posts

    I have heard other TB squeaking on other bikes as well. Which one do you prefer? Why did you buy the TB after first owning a float, or if I got the order wrong why did you switch up? I have never experienced the pogo effect with Body Float I weigh 225.

    Body Float/Knekt over TB for sure. I have had both. I am a larger rider and the float has better performance and you don't have the squeaky noise you get from the TB's elastomer insert.

    Why do the top manufacturers embrace 36 volt/ 250 watt power systems?

    Of course, I always get a good workout. I bought a 48v/750w bike so you have the extra assist if you need it. With modern, efficient LI batteries the weight trade off is no big deal, and of course, all you have to do is lower the assist level and you're working as hard as you want. With the...

    Why do the top manufacturers embrace 36 volt/ 250 watt power systems?

    And then I found the Dost Kope which combines 48v/24Ah battery and 750w/1000w mid-drive performance with high quality components and design as well as an upright stance built for comfort (and free shipping to Hawaii!). So why the change of mind? With the higher power I still have the option of...

    Dost Kope order...NOT going well....Finally the Saga Concludes.

    I will post all the info once I receive the bike, but wanted to let members in Hawaii know they are offering FREE shipping to Hawaii! Called them before placing the order to confirm as their system automatically quoted the free shipping, their rep confirmed it and said currently buyers can...

    ICONIC EVO TR 2 SPEED, anyone purchased or test drive it yet?

    Aloha! Not really looking for a MTB, I need a more upright stance for more comfort. Ebikes Hawaii charges $175 for Young Brothers Port to Port. S/W Ryan today, they will pack it and take to YB's for that cost.

    Does the Dost use torque or cadence sensors?

    Cadence with 24 magnets instead of 12, and apparently the CVT version is dialed in to be extra sensitive to reduce lag times.

    New Drop - First Impressions

    As far as my research goes, this is one of the few bikes that combines upright comfort with higher quality components and design, not to mention 48v huge batteries and 750w/1000v mid-drive power. I must have it. I am buying the Kope Chain in glacial white cuz I need to shift gears like I have...

    Noticed the same noise on the new Trek Alante 7s I test rode recently, it has the same Bosch speed motor (Gen3)

    20mph vs 28 mph Bosch mid-drive motor for Bulls ICONIC EVO TR 1 in Canada??

    What I found by calling Bulls USA is this: The newer TR1 with the 750 Wh battery is a class 1 (20 mph max) Bosch CX motor, the 2021 TR1 model with the 625 Ah battery has the Bosch speed motor, class 3 (28 mph). They did the switch due to the release of the new TR2 which has the speed class 3 motor.
