    Hello! Diving into EBikes

    As a point of clarification, the pedal assist is just as instant on some ebikes. That is not to bash throttles rather that the first part of your statement is inaccurate.

    Choosing FS e-bike for large rider for mixed offroad / paved trail use

    In auto industry I can't how many times I've see a vehicle that didn't meet it's weight rating because it didn't have the right tires or someone put aftermarket rims on without checking their weight rating.

    Moving Away From Heavy E-Bikes

    I think u'll find that has changed if it wasn't just a question of the quality of the system. Interestingly enough some vehicles have been made with 4 disc and a small drum in the center of the rear disc for the emergency brake. Anyway, back to ebikes for the most part hydraulic disc brakes are...

    If you eliminate poorly made batteries and changers and people weren't leaving their batteries on chargers for excessive long amount of time battery firers would be rare.
