Thanks for the quick response. I want to be able to pedal with no assist, but use the Throttle for a boost now and then. Is this possible with the Travalanche? Is the throttle usable with pedal assist zero.

Do any of the bikes sold by Luna have on option to ride with no pedal assist but throttle enabled? I want to be able to pedal with no assist, but use the Throttle for a boost now and then. Is the throttle usable with pedal assist zero. On the Luna Banana? On the X1? On the Apollo? Thanks.

Do any of the bikes sold by Watt Wagons have on option to ride with no pedal assist but throttle enabled? Thanks.

Do any of the Bafang bikes have on option to ride with no pedal assist but throttle enabled? I want to be able to pedal with no assist, but use the Throttle for a boost now and then. Is the throttle usable with pedal assist zero. I am informed in the Watt Wagons thread that this is possible on...

Which brings me back to the point about the cars. I am not going to kill anyone else with my ebike, but you might kill someone else with your car. Yet you think that you are the one who is in danger from me.

I offer this practical guide for people to determine whether an X1 is a suitable ebike for them. https://external-preview.redd.it/ffxkLlOz6L2KTjWZ14aqeubyuMT4T0kKlu-C8veAObk.jpg?auto=webp&s=4cca418147f43d02961cd0d54c79524323f64f58

By this logic, driving should be illegal for everyone.

You can't compete on merit (or else you would have named a competing "respected" bike to the X1 in terms of price/weight/power), so you try to shame others into being brand-slaves. Land Rover is an excellent choice for your strawman argument: Don't buy an X1 because Land Rover is better than a...

First you moved the goalposts to a situation where having a MTB would be better than having an eMTB. Now you are moving the goalposts to a situation where having no bike at all would be better. The $3500 X1 weighs 50-60lbs (minimum 51lbs) with a 1000 (regular mode) to 2000 (ludicrous mode) watt...

By the standard of highly technical rides, any eMTB makes a poor MTB when compared to the same model without the motor plus battery. I like how you are telling pmcdonald about how great the torque and high peak power of the respected brands are. But when faced with a skanky motor that puts...

Your first video showed people riding in a river, and now that I have shown you a river that your bikes can't ride in, you would like to move the goal posts. The bottom line is that you can put the more powerful Bafang mid-drive motor on any kind of bike, and the Bafang will outperform Bosch...

Cute bikes. Now watch this:

For the same price/weight, better to have a powerful motor and throttle (and not need them) than to have a respected ebike and need the power/throttle. Also, based on blog and forum posts, I would say that Biktrix is actually one of the more respected ebike companies, which was a big factor in...

If you can afford another set of prescription lenses, consider: 1) Prescription sport glasses 2) Prescription swim goggles 3) Universal lens insert for goggles

The X1 is also carbon fibre. If weight is not as important as durability then an aluminum Ultra FS is a good choice, but bikes like the Juggernaut Ultra FS are big and bulky. If weight and price are your main issues then your best choices are Apollo and X1. You are having range anxiety about...

Carrying a spare battery will add about 10 lbs of weight; plus the spare battery is going to be in a suboptimal position that will diminish the ride. I think you want the Luna Apollo; you get the most battery with the least weight.

I rode an Ultra during the winter in Edmonton 2018-2019 and one commute to begin the winter of 2019 during which I broke my shoulder, slipping on some ice on the hill across the bridge from the ball statue. I was going downhill and not even using the motor. But ice had built up during the day...

Some of these bikes have been advertised on Kijiji as not needing license or insurance. I knew someone was going to get busted for riding something that looked too much like a motorcycle. That said, I won't narc on you, and I hope you won't narc on me.

Are there any more local options for a bike like this one? https://www.alibaba.com/product-detail/Bafang-48V-1000W-Mid-Motor-20_62003463140.html?spm=a2700.7724857.videoBannerStyleA_top.8.78be6b4bS7R5WU I don't care about the suspension, but I like the rack and fenders. Thanks
