    2019 Haibike

    I heard 3Q 2019. Which seems pretty stupid for them to show up in shops when the season is over. Maybe they should just call them 2020 models? lol

    E-Bike Fatalities On The Rise In Israel

    I'm firmly convinced that the decrease in rider safety is linked to the increase in texting while driving. It's not us, it's them.

    "E-bikes to face speed limits on popular Seattle trails"

    Who ever posted the signs has the final say. Any jurisdiction can opt out of Class 1-3 altogether, so that trail is clearly Class 1 & 2 only. Local control is superior to the state law. Being a logical person, I'd suggest that the "operated on facilities that are within or adjacent to a...

    Juiced Bikes 40 mph!!

    Ah, another "But it has pedals, so it's an ebike" fantasy. The ebike laws that gave us the ability to ride them where bikes can go, clearly define what an ebike is, and the Hyperfat is not one. They're free to sell them, and people can ride them on the road, but stay off of the bike paths or the...

    Penalty for e-mtb on USFS trails ?

    A little google wizardy and this is what I came up with: https://www.wyofile.com/e-bikes-challenge-regulators-traditional-trail-users/ I've also heard fines of @ $400 and they can confiscate, but nothing substantiated, just internet hearsay.

    Why aren't there CHEAP & RELIABLE e-bikes in North America?

    As has been said, Americans don't consider bikes to be tools, and only enthusiasts and those who have lost their licenses use bikes to commute or run errands. Coupled with the difficulties in getting around without being run over, and longer distances. For sure there will be an increase in...

    Why Electric Bikes Shouldn't Be Allowed on Mountain Biking Trails?

    Yes, and companies like Luna aren't helping, this is clearly meant to skirt the laws and its 12kw. I'd like to be able to keep riding my ebike where I currently can, I hope the idiots don't ruin it for us...

    Why Electric Bikes Shouldn't Be Allowed on Mountain Biking Trails?

    While I agree with you, they aren't easy to change, it'll take money and action on a wide scale to make it happen. People for bikes could do it, but don't seem interested.

    No motorized vehicles allowed

    Ebikes are not motor vehicles in most of the US states, but they can be still be considered a motorized vehicle under your local laws. Its usually a good idea to ask around to see what the deal is where you ride, but don't be a jerk and you'll be fine just about everywhere.

    Why Electric Bikes Shouldn't Be Allowed on Mountain Biking Trails?

    It's worth reading the full statement, it's a hair more measured than some internet opeds would make it appear. (Link Removed - No Longer Exists)

    Body safety gear (esp. for knees)

    There are plenty of companies making mtb armor that is optimized to pedal in. I like Poc, but many people like G form, because they are thin and light.

    Front brakes bigger than rear brakes.

    Grabbing too much front brake will make you endo regardless of your rotor size. Not moving your mass back under hard braking will also make you endo. Your momentum gives your front wheel better traction under braking, which gives you a greater braking ability, just like a motorcycle. Besides...
