    Mid-drive or Hub motor

    I'd like to see the pros and cons of each, especially regarding longevity and reliability. Is the trend toward more mid-drive motors ? Sorry, I see there is a thread already. Feel free to delete.

    Recommendation for large,unfit,new rider

    Thanks, that looks like a good choice. Will the hub-driven be as reliable as a mid-drive ?

    If it has a throttle, I don't think it will be a class one.

    Converting Class 1 eBike to Class 3 eBike

    I don't know the trail access situation in Germany, but those types of devices are going to create problems in the U.S. for those of us trying to get class one pedal-assist access on mountain bike trails.

    Shift gears or raise and lower levels

    I I have basically the same question, except I'm usually alternating between power off and Level one. Yesterday in rolling terrain, I was constantly hitting power on/power off and it occurred to me that I might be better off minimizing my assist level button and do more shifting. I tend to get...

    NPR Radio E-Bike Story as heard on 'Here and Now'

    We missed our chance when we had an avid mountain biker in office (GW Bush). I don't think the Donald is too keen on anything outdoors.

    Best dual-suspension trail bike...

    I think the general concsensus is that the best class I emtb out there is the Pivot Shuttle at $10,000; but if you are talking best bike for the money, I think Easy Motion Atoms are going to be in the conversation. Maybe because I have one...LOL.

    You don't buy an eMTB just for the motor - Unique review of top 12 eMTB's

    After 6 weeks, I could not be happier with the Brose motor and my 2017 Easy Motion Atom Lynx 6.0. Just a phenomenal machine. I was pleasantly surprised to find that despite what alot of people have told me; it's not all that bad to pedal without power. Consequently, I'm typically only using 20%...

    Charging on the road

    No, I have the 1A inverter for a stereo speaker, but I have not tried it, or any other inverter to charge the battery. Thanks. I'll look into the BESTEK. The van has two batteries.

    How about a sticky for new bike owners ?

    I put a down payment on a 2017 Easy Motion Atom Lynx 6 27.5, sight unseen from a shop 600 miles away and I'm gonna pick it up. It was the last one, so that pushed me into making a decision. How crazy is that ? I do have the option to switch, if I don't like it. As far as a $1,000 bike, I'd have...

    How about a sticky for new bike owners ?

    If that's the case, why would anyone spend over $1,000 for a bike...I know I wouldn't.
