    How about a sticky for new bike owners ?

    Well, perhaps the better way to look at this is, " It's my first and possibly last ebike...how is the best way to take care of it and avoid problems."

    2017 vs 2018

    Having a hard time quantifying the closeout discount for 2017 vs holding out for the improvements of 2018. Given the depreciation for ebkies, I want to hang onto whatever I buy for awhile...

    How about a sticky for new bike owners ?

    I just learned about the 20/80 charging which seems to be common knowledge, but not so much for newbies. Why not list this and other do's and dont's for new ebike owners in a stcky thread ?

    Charge cycles

    I was looking at two fairly similar FS MTB bikes with the Brose motor and wonder why their charge cycles differ so much. One lists 700 charge cycles for a 460 wh battery while the other is listing only 500 charge cycles for a 600 wh battery.

    I noticed that Bulls has 5 best in class ebikes according to Court's rating system, pretty much lapping the field. Are they really that good ?

    Reaction to first ebike experience

    Well congrats on the bike, and on keeping your options open. Choosing hub-driven when you were looking at mid drives initially, is going against the grain. Lots of choices out there and few places to demo any kind of selection.

    2017 FS MTB Choices

    LOL. I know. Maybe I'll have it figured out when the 2018 closeouts roll through. Riding the Turbo Levo with brose muddied the water for sure. I would have bought it, if it had been in my price range.

    Want to get into ebikes but I am a little confused now

    I rented Specialized Turbo FSR 6Fattie with 3" tires today and was absolutely floored by it's performance. Rode in lowest assist level on intermediate single track with tons of rocks and lots of climbing, in slick conditions. The bike stuck to trail like it was on rails. Only used 3 bars out of...
