    Bitrix Juggernaut? Turbo Vado? SL? Aventon Level? Alternatives?

    My Juggernaut Ultra is capped at 32mph, but you can set the top speed higher and go a little bit faster. The motor will supply the full 1500W to get up to 32mph then cut back to about 1000W to maintain at the capped speed.

    Why are SurRons so cheap?

    I think SurRon is an amazing deal. I think SurRons are so inexpesive right now because demand for ebikes is higher than demand for emotocross bikes, and dealers are having trouble clearing out their old stock of SurRons. I would buy a SurRon, except I am worried that chances of getting pulled...

    Fat Bike Gearing Question

    My Biktrix Juggernaut Ultra 1000 has 11 gears, and I would prefer if it had only 5. I start in the lowest gear and then quickly shift to the highest gear, hardly using any of the gears in between, and I would prefer if there were fewer shifts required to make this transition. There might be some...

    Fat Tire or no?

    Fat tires are best in deep snow, mud, and sand because fat tires have float. I like having a throttle in really mushy conditions so that I can focus on staying upright and let the motor do the work. There is debate of about the utility of fat tires on ice. On the one hand there is larger...

    Is the tektro 2-piston brakes and Biktrix standard inverted front fork good enough?

    I have a Biktrix fat bike (Ultra 1000) and no problem with the standard brakes. I had the Biktrix people switch the front fork to rigid because the fat tires provide enough suspension for me; plus I prefer the handling and reliability of rigid forks; but I am not riding on very rough terrain.

    Helmets- full face?

    Why haven't hockey players and football players switched to leatt soft shell armour? Do you think that a cyclist can't possibly be subjected to the same shoulder impact as these athletes?

    Helmets- full face?

    That Troy Lee armor is the one I was riding when I broke my shoulder. It's a soft shell. I believed the hype you reiterated. Previous to my fateful ride in the Troy Lee armor I fell on my shoulder in the Chinese armor you just disparaged, not a scratch. The Chinese armor has a hard shell plus a...

    Helmets- full face?

    I used to think name brands were better when I switched my armor from a Chinese brand to Tory Lee Designs, but then I broke my shoulder during the first ride in the new armor, and my wife had to cut me out of it. I've fallen in the Chinese armor with damage to my outer clothing layer but not a...

    Smart helmet?

    I do this with a GoPro5 under the rear rack and the phone on an aerobar, so I don't need to look down as much. The problem I have is the image on the GoPro5 cannot be made into a mirror image to mimic the action of a rearview mirror. Does mirror image functionality exist with other GoPros...

    Which headlight is sufficient for trails at night?

    I own one Cateye Volt 800 per rider. When I ride alone, I usually put two on the bar, so that I have a spare. When it is dark, I can put both on for extra brightness. This site compares the Volt 800 against several others: https://road.cc/content/review/251430-cateye-volt-800-front-light
