That is nice and pretty sweet, but you're skirting past the legal definition of an ebike with a build like that. Btw the way motion hub drive bikes with 48v have plenty of kick. Brose motors are designed to enhance your riding experience, not replace your need to pedal.

Have you rode a bike with a mid drive before?

Those are bonkers nice designs for next year!

How much do they charge for the sun tour post? Only reason I ask is that you can get it from bike-discount.de for around eighty bucks, that is where I got mine 2 years ago.

Good for them. When I bought my fat bike from them, the direct sales model was a hot topic for discussion over at the mtb forum. Almost as hot as the whole ebikes on mtb trails topic is there. Will it be the same here? I do find it interesting they are testing the market with a very high end...

Well, even though there are local dealers that participate, most of the event attendees are likely brand representatives (if the minnesota event is any indication, I'd say it was 70/30 brands/local) - if they didn't plan their accommodations welllll in advance (you may not find it interesting...

I think it is more likely related to logistics because of the eclipse. Portland is a prime destination for it. I heard a buddy mention that hotels are all booked and there are over twenty thousand vehicles rented requiring them to bring cars in from other areas to meet demand. So, not because...

I think your reference to depreciation of electric vehicles is a little off. The reason they appear so low is because the subsidies they get mean nobody paid anywhere near sticker in the first place! If anything electric car batteries have proven a lot more resilient than most would have...

Fyi if anyone looks to get some larger tires on the non plus bike, schwalbe smart Sam 2.6 tires fit just fine with a little more than a quarter inch clearance all around and no chain rub. Bike discount. De has them for under thirty euros and shipping to the US is far and reasonable. They also...

Yes, yes and a thousand times yes. You're welcome!

I'll be curious to see what you think of the new bosch emtb mode. I had my bulls updated in the spring with the latest firmware, I could tell the difference (and a 4th level of assist was also added). I much prefer the Brose power delivery than bosch, it feels like a more natural riding...

Biktrix had several far tire models around $2k with mid drives. While some hub motors do well on hills, mid drives do generally perform better.

I'll give you my 2 cents. Don't bother with this bike, period. The vast majority of ebikes are NOT front hubs for a reason - loss of traction, especially with that much power, is a real possibility, likely often and especially when conditions are worst. You're right, ebikes aren't cheap, but...

That should be a good one too!

You should consider advertising on sports radio here it is quite popular as well...kfan is the station... If it isn't too late. Looking forward to it!

@SteveO tire type doesn't have a significant impact, though a smooth tire might carry your speed marginally better. Realistically tires have maybe a couple percentage points impact on efficiency, not worth worrying over, especially on an ebike. Above 25mph wind is your biggest enemy. Don't...

Have you considered the bulls six 50 e 2 street? Very similar to the trek super commuter for over a thousand less (more if you negotiate). I've ridden the six fifty and the lacuba 45 and liked the six fifty much better. The lacuba is a very upright stance while the six fifty is more forward...

If it is a vehicle replacement, definitely do not cheap out on your purchase. Buy a reputable, nationally sold and serviced brand. You must have narrowed it down at this point, the industry has made some big strides in the last 2 years and your asks are for one bike that does it all! I would...

Doubt it - they probably still have it in the model line-up in Europe (where they have about 70 different bikes). They just keep the available models in the US slim, and the Jet probably overlaps with a few other available bikes in terms of style and level of components already. They are...

Pretty sure it is dealer only, and that looks like the European software, as when he removes the speed limiter, it talks about breaking the 25kph limit - that is the European limit, not the US limit. I'm sure there would be a US version of the software since we have different requirements. I...
