It is a shame the Tero hardtail doesn't come similarly spec'd out.

Agreed! Unfortunately the step through bikes don't seem to be made in XL sizes. I'm 6'3" and have been dissapointed in some brands that don't make ANY XL sizes even with top bars (Yamaha YDX Torc).

Don't blink too slowly JG. I was 40 yesterday, blinked and now I'm almost twice that, old, and decrepit, but still on the green side of the turf. Happy trails to you. ;-)

Do any older riders add dropper posts to make on/off the bikes easier? As the years start adding up, it's starting to be a big lift getting a leg over the saddle. And step thrus for XL sizes seem not on design boards.Yeah, you can lean the bike over to the side, if the groceries aren't too...

I wish I could point you to a professional review, but alas. I did get a chance to ride the Kemen MID 30 SUV in the fall though. It was the sweetest ride I have had. It was supposed to be a few blocks around the shop's neighborhood. But there was a 6 mile loop nearby, and ... Everything just fit...

The Kemen 30 SUV I rode was 52lbs. The Urrun didn't ride as well for me and weighed 46lbs- my sweet spot. Unfortunately the battery is not easily removed. It also had a 32 tooth bottom bracket forcing a high cadence. The Urrun also had uncomfortably wide handlebar- and I have long arms.

How was the response from Haro? Did they resolve your problem? Easy to work with?

Are you opening a can of worms for me Stefan? ;-) I have no full suspension bike history. With the 15% off, the Yamaha drive, it does look interesting. Is it legal to put a rack on a FS bike and go to the grocery store? I guess I'll have to take a ride at the local Giant shop when they get the...

I can appreciate that. There is lots of frustrations associated with interfacing and keeping screen apps working. Not being used to an ebike, yet ;-) , when the motor is on I find it hard to decide when to shift. It almost seemed that in the extreme, 1 gear and a variable motor was all that...

Yes, they said take it for a day! It was more than good. The 20" size they had was small. If I order one it will be 22", their largest size, but there is no inventory now, so no rush. Fully refundable purchase within a week, plus they'll swap for quieter, in stock tires at no cost. The 27.5"...

Weight- 46lbs Removable battery. Cool LBS- Niwot Wheels

yes, I rode a Yamaha YDX Torc with SLX cassette. A totally great bike, except for my butt being half off the back of the seat. If they made an XL and had a shop that dealt with bike and not just motorcycles and ATVs within 30 miles, I could quit this search for my bike. Instead it is still a...

How are you liking the Tero 4? I test rode the Tero 3, and the shifting was clunking with each gear shift. It could have just been put together poorly, or it might be the difference between the low end Deore cassettes I'm used to and the Alivio. I'm not seeing the Tero 4 on the US web page. How...

Thanks for the suggestion, but the washboard dirt roads around here make front suspension a necessity. With a $4k budget, I'll have to accept something in the mid weight range, 46ish lbs, based on what's available now.

Wow, this discussion, partially about range anxiety is helping me lean heavier into the weight of the upcoming bike purchase. I spend the first bit of a test ride looking for hills near the bike shop, then riding around with and without power assist. For me the arguement- 'a bikes weight doesn't...

Nomad- Which Giant are you riding? Are you on many hills? How do you find the Yamaha motor? The large front sprocket and smaller cassette range have me a bit concernedmwith all the hills here. That said, I am on my way to the local Giant shop to see about their pre-season sale today. :-)

Hi Nomad, I am truely brand agnostic. I don't buy enough to enjoy any sense of brand loyalty. I did ride a Bosch Performance Speed motor today on a Gazelle Medeo T10 (according to the sales rep). It definitely had more whine to it than the Shimano. It did say Gazelle, it was marked Medeo, but...

I'm not sure when back in the days were (was?), but they are a souther Cal company that made BMXs since the late '70s. Not sure when they started ebikes, but the lbs owner says they are good to deal with, and they did respond to my email quickly. I'm curious to see who will use the EP6.

First and foremost- thanks for all the input and suggestions. It is a big help. Did a 15 mile 2nd test ride of the Haro, a lot of mud, snow, and slush. It is an all Shimano bike with a Taiwanese frame. It was the 20" frame and sat half off the back of the saddle. It's 46lb weren't...
