Last years models are on sale. Might be more palatable but yeah have to pay to play.

Look at real trail bikes like Treks Powerfly offers or Specialized, Scott, Giant, etc.. Front wheel drives don't get traction, rear wheels torque break spokes etc.. Look at the mid-drives and able to use without the motor assist as well. I got the Trek Powerly 8 FS and have zero complaints. It's...

Some of them are available now. Check the Trek US site and there are more flavors than the 5, 8 from last year. European markets got 12 new models. 12.. Trek USA also has now tree subject - Ebike Mountain. Regardless of elitist mtb local groups the popularity is growing.

The walk function only worked once for about 2 seconds when my controller was broken. During normal usage and replacement - does not work - Powerfly 8

Over 500 miles of singletracks in less than 4 months on my Powerfly 8 FS. Replaced cranks and Bosch control unit (took a hard knock off trail endo avoiding downed tree). What are the general upgrades? Shadow XT derailer? where to go up from there? Any suggestions? Differences in chains...

Dielectric grease.

The interwebz told me the earth is flat......... Dude, jokes aside, wear a helmet.

Not interested in modifying my ebike. Engineers have designed to operate as intended the little I gain from modification isn't worth the warranty or pushing the device outside it's intended properties.

Can an Ebike provide transportation that most Americans use cars for? Depending on your circumstances - yes.

I keep front forks about 105 and rear about 250-260. The problem was the line I chose with that rock and my platform pedals. I pass that rock an awful lot before and after and no more problems. I aim for 20% sag and I now check before every ride. I have friends who wear gloves, I don't. In...

Leave it in turbo - coasting uphill is fun! Buy a bike, take the plunge. Soon everyone that said they wouldn't ride one will be riding them.

I use the Trek Powerfly 8 FS on all mountain bike trails/ singletracks. It's amazing, I put 400 miles on it last month without hitting pavement or gravel. The trek frame is a trail bike with a heck of a warranty and the Bosch mid-drive motor is imo indestructible. I'm learning how to Mountain...

I ordered separate wheels (cassettes, discs, etc.) for a road set but have been waiting almost two months for the line comp wheels and I'm getting ready to ask for my money back. Local Trek store sales man says," yes, these are new so their going on bikes instead of the warehouse for delivery"...

This IS better. I'm wondering if it will be the same price though. It's different than the European 2018 Powerfly 9 though. Also - no knockblock on the teaser. Love this bike!

North Carolina defines a class I pedelec as a bicycle. So until I see the "no e-bike" allowed I'll ride with assist. Now US forestry is different..... for now.

What kind of hill can't be ridden up? Are you sure you're seat is set up correctly?

I'm completely happy with my mountain bike, in NC I've not seen any "no e-bike" signs on local trails. If I do then I'll have to re-evaluate how I donate and which groups I will support. I know US Forestry has a e-bike in motorized only and I'm positive that is a stupid rule.

For me the power of the Giant engine at lower gears was obviously different than the Bosch. It felt like the same torque as the higher gears of the Bosch. When I'm riding the lower gears of my powerfly give me much more torque where the assist is less obvious the higher the gearing. This makes a...

I haven't got hate on trails only on the forum. I hope the reaction against e-bikes does pass, they are amazing at getting me to want to ride every day. I'm so happy with the full suspension and Bosch assist.

Yup, That's Hillsborough. Met the guy building the trails at Brumley last week, told him how much I enjoyed the trails there and he let me know about TORC and how to donate for trail building. Now family supporters of TORC! There's quite a bit of hate from other locals towards ebikes which is...
