    Lol oh this thing was way smaller than a folder. It was a micro bike. Ive seen the ads for them and the people in the ads trying to look totally casual riding down a city street like a circus bear. 🙄 To each his own but not my "speed". I think the rad mini is cool its something i might have...

    Exactly. I find it ironic that anyone who is pro exercise, pro green future, pro whatever....would be anti electric bike. Commuting 5 miles each day takes me LESS time on an ebike than getting in my suv and sitting at light after light and then when i come home i dont have to stop at the gym and...

    Went to crazylennys site for fla. Not great reviews a lot about no repairs. The bike selection they have posted are some assortment of mixed unknowns and really the magnum is the only one in a reasonable price range that even meets close to my specs of other bikes for the price. Since i cant...

    Ah they all run together at this point. The torque sensing well, since i havent driven them to really tell the diff it prob wouldnt matter. Again the juiced has it for 1699 on the ccx so i figure a 1699 ccx and a 1499 rover for offroad or something similiar im still at 3 grand instead of a 2700...

    How do you feel about the performance of the fat tires ? I looked at juice closely it was one of my top contenders bc the specs and price are just right. Was torn between the rip and cross current tho bc of tires. I do like it has torque sensing even tho i have no idea the difference in feeling...

Beaides that the roads are so bad from salt air and...
