The BBSHD for one is not a torque sensing motor its cadence which might actually be better for your lady's knees but imho a purpose built bike is the way to go for your first bike, build a DIY bike after you have some ebike experience and you know exactly what you need in an E-Bike.

maybe check out some how to vids before you start. Ithink these were the two that got me through my first motor swap with no issues!

Thats odd, keep im mind those bolts are snug so after unscrewing you will need to stick something in the whole and tap the bolts out with a mallet, they will not just fall out after they are unscrewed.

'86 Hutch Trickstar, selling mine was one of the biggest mistakes i ever made! If i had $4800 lying around i would snag this for sure!

For the type of ridding i do QR is just fine, this is a more comfortable price range for me!

That weight is going to limit you but ill go ahead and recommend a Specialized Turbo Vado, its only 5lbs over your target weight and for sure checks the rest of your boxes.

I was hoping for something closer to the $1500, kinda steep but i feel like this is really the one thing keeping my bike from being a perfect fit for me!

I used to use Monster Cables 25 years ago because i heard they were supper durable and i was constantly destroying cables, i didnt even know there was any type sound improvement associated with them lol, turns out they were not much stronger than any other brand. I destroyed them like every...

`If you dont mind me asking, how much did that set you back total? This is something i have been think of adding to my RX.

yeah i know, some of those Bosch "250s" can peak close to 900w if im remembering correctly, 250 is a load of HS!

lol, when i think of WW2 Bikes i usually think of my cruiser but yeah i totally get what your saying, riding that while wearing a leather trench coat could look suspect.

Meh, nothing really wrong it, nothing really amazing about it either imo, just a lil tiny cargo bike. If your someone in the market for something like a RadWagon this may be a good choice for you and its probably worth the additional $800 bucks as it does have a bigger battery and better...

If you like the Fork get the Cyrusher. I would not buy the QK because its over priced as usual, they are always over priced unless they are running some type of deal! There is also the Rize RX Dual, crappier components but it does come with a 52v system vs 48v with the others and that is huge...

Brose is quiet but i dont know that they are BBSHD level quiet and they are also a 250motor compared to a 1000watt. This is what a 1000watt BBSHD sounds like climbing, if anyone could make this climb with a 250watt Brose and produce less motor noise i would be impressed. I hear more wind and...

Im 6/3 and the only bikes that i have had a real problem fitting on are the little Retro Style/Scrambler E-Mopeds with no adjustable seat. Fine if you want to sit and throttle but to pedal those bikes for a long ride might suck it yo are tall. Go for the bike you like, get the biggest frame...

In all honesty the power feels about the same to me but my BBSHD bike is 52v vs my 48v M620 powered bike. If i had to choose one it would be the Ultra, i feel like it is a little more durable and its easier for me to get a good workout, i do adore the smoothness and quiet of the BBSHD but the...

One can only speculate but im pretty sure they have their reasons, meaning its not something they just overlooked.

Yes they come "pre lubed" but Bafang's definition of lubed is different from most lol, they put very little grease in their motors! Maybe you just need to replace a busted gear? If i had one of those original motors i would for sure try and keep it going, not a sturdy as todays Ultra but they...

Well today was that day for me lol, finally decided to check out a dispensary thanks to this thread and the whole experience was just kickass! The people on staff were professional and friendly and the variety was mind numbing! Prices were more than what im used to but the variety more than made...

your not going to really find any other brands that offer the same performance as Frey imho but it never hurts to look around.
