    eBike Storage on an RV Motorhome

    I've been doing a lot of research to figure out how best to carry my new fat tire Juggernaut Ultra 1000 from Biktrix on my Leisure Travel Vans "Unity" RV, a 25ft Motorhome. Biggest concern is theft and exposure outdoors. Looked at a lot of Racks, and Motorcycle or Dirt Bike Ramps. They all left...

    Exess eBike CAN be Shipped to the USA!

    Not sure if you estimated this without their battery. But then you must add back in the one from Luna. Unless, of course, they come back with a different story on Monday. I'm just excited that the people who have lusted after this might actually be able to get one. We'll know soon enough. Therte...

    Exess eBike CAN be Shipped to the USA!

    I will post the pricing as soon as I receive it on Monday. You may want to await the Spring 2019 redesign. It gives you some time to decide. This is the main reason I posted this -- in case anyone had an interest. That frame and bike look almost fluid, to me. Not sure if it performs any better...

    Exess eBike CAN be Shipped to the USA!

    From some other Forums, it sounds like they've been doing it this way for awhile -- but through certain dealers Stateside. I do not know who that might be. They are redesigning for 2019 models, due out in the Spring. Maybe this is the beginning of how they need to get around a hassle for them...

    Exess eBike CAN be Shipped to the USA!

    Following-up on a previous discussion, elsewhere -- I contacted the company directly. Rumor had it they refused to ship to the USA. THIS is the eBike we were discussing -- possibly, the most-beautiful one I came across in my research, so far: https://www.exess-bikes.de/ I just had to check...

    Bafang Ultra Max Mid-Drive Options?

    Not sure if these are the same type of component, but the Biktrix Juggernaut 1000 that I just placed an order for has the Ultra Max with the SRAM Gx1 11sp transmission, and has Torque Sensor, plus PAS Sensor, plus On-Demand Throttle. Thanks, everyone, for the feedback. I really came to like...

    Bafang Ultra Max Mid-Drive Options?

    On the Ultra Motor -- Yes, I found that page, too. Which was all the more confusing because it's stamped M620 on the side of the Motor! :p

    What Width Tire is Considered Fat?

    I wonder if there's an environment "limit"? For example, 3" will get you down any trail, but you need 4" for the beach or snow.

    Juggernaut Ultra FS review

    I'm looking at their Pre-Order Ultra 1000, and was comparing against the FS. But this will be my first eBike, so I may not go whole-hog. Roshan has been great with me, trying to work out a deal because of issues with his website ordering today. This Review was very timely for me to find -- not...

    My new 2019 Juggernaut - an awesome bike

    Those handlebars are the one option I asked Roshan and Heather about. They don't offer taller handlebars, but I wonder if they can extend the cables for me if I go with this ebike? I'm not sure about all the criticism I read about Roshan here. He took my calls himself on two occasions, and was...

    What are the differences between RST and Wren Inverted suspension forks?

    In Roshan's defense on the Juggernaut -- he told me it does NOT need an inverted fork. Unless I think it does. He offers them because some people insist on them -- not because he feels it's required. He is trying to serve a market while not judging why people make the decisions they do. Same...

    How many times have you heard "that's cheating!"? ?

    I've heard it as soon as I mention I'm just "thinking about getting an ebike". But my answer is similar to the one I give for having added Levelers to my 25ft Motorhome. In the case of that situation, "It's NOT about leveling the coach -- which anyone can do with a set of what are known as Lego...

    What Width Tire is Considered Fat?

    I see some "Fat" Bikes (even with the word "Fat" in its name) that have 2.8" Wide Tires. I always thought 4" was the starting point. What do you consider to be the tipping point?

    Bafang Ultra Max Mid-Drive Options?

    I have been researching a fair amount. Decided mid-drive was the way I wanted to go - for several reasons, including torque, and ease of removing wheels in case of a flat. Then I discovered the latest Bafang iteration -- their Ultra Max, or Max Ultra, @ 1000w. I weigh about 250lbs, so I thought...

    What are the differences between RST and Wren Inverted suspension forks?

    On the newest Biktrix Juggernaut Ultra 1000, the standard fork is an RST. The upgrade for the Wren Inverted adds $800. What are the main reasons for the Wren?

    How Many Have Received Fines for Class 3?

    These are great responses! Both Pro and Con. One of the main reasons I asked is because the ebikes that are Class 3 or above also offer greater Range. I was not wanting to do 30mph on a populated trail in a congested area, of course. But if I buy one with longer range, and it happens to be a...

    How Many Have Received Fines for Class 3?

    "No ebikes on this trail" is an understandable and easily observable violation. Like "no motor vehicles allowed". But the stealthier part of their use - higher speeds and larger motors, where otherwise allowed - is my concern. Would I be just asking for trouble by buying one of the "ultra"...

    How Many Have Received Fines for Class 3?

    Understood. That's what I was curious about. Does anyone really police these speed issues? Some of the reviews almost scare you away from the faster bikes, but I'm wondering if it's a true "threat" to enjoying them.

    How Important are Disc Brakes for a Heavy Rider?

    Well, that's what I'm trying to understand. Are hydraulic brakes necessary if you are a heavier rider?
