    eMTB Options For 2024

    I changed size to 2.6 vs 2.8 original. If you put over 20 psi they are reasonably quiet? I run air pressures of 25 to 10 psi depending on the riding surface. Since the nobbies didn't bother me I don't know if I can give good information on noise. I thought for the price I would try them, so far...

    eMTB Options For 2024

    https://www.vittoria.com/us/mezcal-xc.html I run these on my Turbo Levo. They are tubeless. I ride pavement, dirt and gravel. I keep my speed under 20 mph on the downhills, I cannot afford to crash!! The price is reasonable. I do not ride in the mud, don't want to damage the trails.

    Aostirmotor full suspension on Amazon

    It is also very heavy, 75 lbs. I would be concerned about the seat height. I have a 28" inseam and the less expensive bikes were to big for me. The lowest pedal speed is 11 mph? This is awful fast.

    2018 Turbo Vado 2.0 Start Up / Power Problem

    I had to have a new battery to motor power cable. $27.00 installed on my turbo levo. My old cable would work with dielectric silicon grease on the connector. You can get it at any auto parts store. It is used on all the connections on your car.

    What is a cheap bike?

    Tippy go away. I spend my money the way I want to and I respect others who do the same. We all have our limits on the amounts we have to spend. I would never criticize anyone for spending within their budget or needs.

    72 Year Old Male Buying 1st eBike.

    I didn't buy my ebike to save money. I bought it for fit, power, quality and to ride. If you do not enjoy riding the bike because of poor fit, lack of power or lack of quality, it will be a waste of money. I just had to replace the power cord from the battery to the motor/controller. The LBS...

    protecting battery connector points - silicone grease or something else?

    I use Napa dielectric silicon compound. This completed the connection when I had a faulty battery plug. The bike would not go without it. Plug has since been replaced.

    Camper, extender hitch, heavy mtn ebike....help!

    I fit my emtb and my wife's trike in a 4x6 enclosed trailer. There is no worry about weather or thieves. I use a Rocky Mounts Backstage that swings to the side when hauling my bike alone on jeep or van. It allows access to the rear of the vehicle. It is heavy, but will hold 2 ebikes. I also use...

    Hi all! I'm new here and to ebikes and I need some help.....

    I am a short person also, I do not believe you will find a generic mail order bike to fit your body. I had to try various frame sized to find a good fit. This will probably push you into a higher price range. This should result in a comfortable ride and you would ride more. Good luck in your...

    Radcity, thru or not

    It appears you need a dropper seat post PNW Components even makes one with a suspension. I would not be able to get on my bike easily without one.
