A possible contender with belt drive for $1400, new Luna bike. No experience and it's a new model... https://lunacycle.com/luna-eclipse-folding-ebike/

Yeah, not so sure on 30mph+ on one of those although there's at least one crazy video out there of a dude zipping down a highway on one..

This is all I have to say about that. ;) (yeah, they're not shiny, found convection is more consistent but - beats the not-from-NY/etc bagel shops anyways..)

Thx, so D2/E2 have OTT but internally adjusted only? And yeah - lol, ergonomics apply everywhere. had a pinched nerve from a marathon coding session decades ago (like 72 hours no sleep), learned all about them since. Still somewhat tweaking my bike bar ergos but tons of changes since out of box.

Totally in for a review of the E2. Have the parts and will be upgrading my Yari to Lyric Ultimate spec (damper and air spring replacement), but keep looking at DVO forks, and it's not entirely clear how a form like the E2 compares to e.g. the Onyx SC D1 etc.. I can easily flex the Yari (35mm...

Unsure if you mean a 'kick scooter' (powered skateboard with bars) versus a 'step-through moped' type of scooter. Kind of interesting looking at laws across mopeds and scooters in the US, e.g. NY requires a motorcycle endorsement for mopeds (they have pedals too, remember) over 30mph, or...

Doh on Ultraglide - you got it though, meant Linkglide. ;) Yeah, I'm not convinced on the 'needing' the 50T either, but have been considering moving to 10S, or 11S Linkglide if it ever shows up. Didn't realize you'd swapped wheels, but yeah, the 2.8 width I'm comparing between my last...

Thanks. Huge 'yes' on the wait - I had components for the build coming in from all over. Why switching rotor mount + going to Shimano XT from SRAM? I keep wanting to hear real-world experience with 'Ultraglide' Shimano e-bike drivetrain but unobtanium...

Maybe, and me too. Apologies if so, might have even quoted the wrong post - I know someone stated no speedos, etc. Moving on. :) True but if e.g. scooters with speeds > 30mph (estimated, I don't have interest in scooters, but see DUI offenders riding them on license loss) require a...

Yeah, which is kind of the basis of 'some level of limits are appropriate,' as e.g. eMTBs <= 20mph or 28mph in most cases don't add significant trail 'wear,' while e.g. 'e-motorcycles' just like my DRZ and other dirt bikes - do. Possible the multi-use may be the only ones open at Pisgah - need...

It's...confusing. Try to sort which trails are ok for e-bikes at Pisgah. I can't quite manage to get much clarity honestly.. :( Trailforks shows 437 MTB trails but only 53 for ebike. Can't locate the more 'official' link at the moment, but it's quite confusing...

Yep, but reality is some 'multi-use' include horses. I'd rather not fight 'kick horses out' vs 'let reasonable ebikes ride on multi-use trails.' I also had an easement through the prior property for...horses, because someone, sometime, long back - had horses. :-/ No inherent dislike of them...

NC as well, but there are some very nice Federal parks which are mostly e-bike off-limits. :-/

Usually, but it's not technically true. The display is just spitting out what the controller knows/has calculated from the speed sensor, wheel circumference etc. Of course, most bikes also have a display of some kind, and even the limited ones show speed and something for battery, but no...

No clue who you're calling 'you' or responding to. Reality is for state and federal land there are various 'multi-use' trails, which include hiking, horses, bicycles and <some ebikes depending..>. "A bicycle is the only way to enjoy trails' is kind of ignoring they're actually the latest to the...

Yeah, it's kind of tough as there are a range of specific use cases. I believe scooters are licensed/plated/insured though, so at what point is an 'e-bike' an e-scooter or e-motorcycle, from a non-self-serving standpoint? Probably somewhere around 30mph, throttle or not, etc. While it is cool...

Eh, there's also something called personal responsibility. I used to do a lot of (car) track events at Roebling, VIR, etc. Just because someone can take the long straight to 150mph and start braking at e.g. cone 3 before turn 1, doesn't mean everyone can. Ride within your limits and where...

Yeah, very true. Did MSF, 'Advanced' MSF, several Police training courses, and a few others, including periodically after I had tons of ride time in, just to learn new things and sharpen skills. Really, I think the 'problem areas' come in with a handful of people: 1. "I can do anything I...
