    Oh my goodness - look at all these e-bike returns

    Yes! I was In line for the service counter in a Sears store a few days after Xmas once and the person ahead of me returned a fake Xmas tree with tinsel still hanging if on it. When I got to the counter I said something about it to the clerk and she went on to tell me stories about women...

    Possible Game Changer For Charging Ebike Batteries

    I use a squirrel in a cage to top up my batteries up after every ride, just costs a few nuts.

    New guy here. Name is Peter.

    I had a Voltbike Yukon, ended up giving it to a neighbourhood kid. I couldn't turn the front wheel and pedal at the same time, my foot would hit the wheel. The bike was delivered with a non functioning display, I had to pay $100 for them to send me a working one. I'm not new to bikes or eBikes...

    Suspension or rigid fork for touring, your opinion?

    I don't suppose anyone remembers how when suspension forks first came out they would include a free air pump with each fork, I got a nice one with my first Marzocchi and Rockshock forks. That must have been 30 or more years ago, I'm guessing here, and I'm still using the pumps, now that's good...

    Suspension or rigid fork for touring, your opinion?

    Yes, Marzocchi are good forks, they were the first suspension fork I ever used if I recall. I guess my point was Suntour don't make a good fork in my opinion, I don't think I've ever seen a Suntour fork at Whisler or any bike park for that matter. Any fork is good riding on pavement. I know the...

    Suspension or rigid fork for touring, your opinion?

    Most Suntour forks and especially the NEX are bad forks, Fox and Rockshock forks like you find on the Levo and Kenevo are real forks. You're comparing apples to oranges.

    I'm not going anywhere near the shop😏 Thanks for the link though that is a LOT of money. That must be his cost price.

    BH Atom E-Bikes Amaze with their new 720Wh Battery Pack

    I picked up my BH AtomX today and decided to get an additional battery, I was surprised that a spare 700wh battery with the new 21700? cells only set me back $407CAN which is about $300US. I've heard batteries are coming down but this is great. That was from a dealer and these are built in...

    Electric Bike Company Now Offers Seven Speed Mechanical Gears

    I was also confused, I thought it had taken them 50 years to catch up with the rest of the industry. Senility I guess.

    Motobecane Electric Dual Suspension Shimano E8000 Mid Drive HAL Eboost Pro 1x11 XT

    Nice specs with a great price, not available in Canada ( that I know of ) or I would grab one. XT brakes are good off road especially if you do any DH or Enduro riding. This is not the first full suspension eMTB with an E8000 sold in NA though in spite of what their ads say. Let us know if you...

    Revolutionary 13-speed gearbox design by Shimano

    I've already posted about that transmission on here, bikeradar have a good video, lots of stuff on the internet including the Tube. Looks revolutionary, I don't think it's intended for eBikes yet but would be great on a conventional bike.

    reliability

    Before we get into a bike I would ask if you have a good dealer near you and if so what brand bikes do they sell? A warranty is useless if you have to ship it to Toronto or Miami every time you have an issue. I've owned twelve eBikes and currently have eight, from my experience I would suggest...

    E-bike specific Internal Gear Hub by Shimano for 2019

    I agree, I was going to buy a bike ( mountain bike ) with the SRAM EX1 8 speed eBike specific setup and after a test ride with the bike which had a Shimano E8000 motor and I found it totally lacking It depends on the bike, I have an eProdigy Magic Pro with the Alfine 8, the eProdigy is a very...

    E-bike specific Internal Gear Hub by Shimano for 2019

    I have both the Alfine 8 and 11 and these are giving me good service with 90 and 110 nm motors. The Alfine 8 is an improvement over the Nexus 8 which did give some early problems. The key to any IGH is to use common sense when shifting, they don't work well in a mountain biking scenario. Shimano...
