That little Desert Sled is pretty much all I can handle dual-sporting off road any more. I'm way out of practice!

Yup, a couple of Haibike Trekking 7.0's in the normal weekly bike rotation. If for space, cost or other reasons I could only have one bike, it would likely be the Haibike Trekking. Even over the Turbo Vado 4.0 as an all-purpose tool. (Not shown since it is out in the shed and not in the...

Welcome! I'm no expert but I believe, based on the pic, that you have a Gen 3 motor (the Gen 4's appear smaller to me). Someone will correct me if I'm wrong. Nice bike! Both the Gen 3 and Gen 4 Bosch motors are excellent. I somewhat like the Gen 3's since you can still easily 'chip' them to...

What you are currently seeing in e-bikes is not what had been the normal. Currently e-bike companies are still dealing with the impacts of a several-month shut-down by all of the Chinese bike and component manufacturers as well as a doubling, tripling or more in e-bike sales volume. When I...

My wife and I were living in the Silicon Valley in 2010. Working in high tech in such an area kind of sucks you into the "latest and greatest new technology, gotta have it" mindset. E-bikes at that time were pretty young, and rather unknown in the U.S. I don't even recall the reason but I...

Proper saddle position (height) means that you get full leg extension at the bottom of your pedal stroke (without hyper-extending). Generally one does initial set-up by raising the seat to the height of their hip while standing next to the upright bike. Then fine-tuning happens after riding a...

Well, I just got the shipping notice that my wife's Brushed Aluminum HyperScorp is shipping today. It will likely be delivered tomorrow. Wish me luck. From the recent HyperScorpion posts, it sounds like I'll need it! :(

👍👍👍 For what it is worth, I know that you were asking about a Kinekt seat post but I have found with the ride of our Trekking bikes (due to the way they are built and the larger volume tires, front suspension fork, etc.), the ride is very comfortable without a suspension seat post. I really...

The prevailing thought, based on what I have read, is that the Haibike Trekking frames 'run large'. Didn't really seem the case to me as I am very comfortable on my XL sized frame, and its nice as I don't have to run the seat post way up like on many other bikes (I'm 6'4" with a 33" inseam)...

Looks like 4.5" will be about the minimum "exposed height" you would need for a Kinekt.

No, both of our '19 Trekking 7.0's are high step diamond frames. A couple of pics - the first showing the full length of my seatpost (XL frame size) and the second showing how far that seatpost fits into the seat tube. I also tried to take a photo of the interior of my seat tube, but wasn't...

Yamaha seems to be hitting it out of the park with their new e-bikes. Hope they price the Moro reasonably like they did with the Civante, but both are looking really nice.

I've had great luck with both Crazy Lenny's and ebikes508. Multiple purchases from both and all have been perfect.

Things sure happen fast at e-bike speeds. All it takes is a momentary lapse of concentration - that's how I went down as well. Heal quick!

Maybe I have just drunk the helmet manufacturer Kool Aid but I go by their recommendations to replace my MC and bike helmets every 5 (or so) years. All that sweat and UV exposure does bad things to the materials helmets are made of which are there to protect us. I also retire any helmet which...

I think that for street riding you need to have 'standard' minimum protection (helmet (MIPS type preferred), gloves, eye protection), and then you need to concentrate on accident prevention. Some folks ride on the street with knee and/or elbow protection, and this makes some sense. But I...

I'm just saying that EVERY bike manufacturer is looking for component parts, and component part manufacturers lost production time during shut-downs and have yet to been able to catch up to ever increasing demand. In a normal world I am pretty certain that Juiced would have had critical back-up...

I agree - Ever since I saw the review of this bike last April on Electric Bike Action, it has been on my short list. https://electricbikeaction.com/bike-test-bulls-iconic-evo-tr-1-speed/

In a pre-COVID world, that would likely have been possible.

I guess that I have been very fortunate so far. Have purchased 3 e-bikes from CL's, and have always been treated with full respect (have worked over the phone with Lenny, the lady in sales, and John via email). All bikes arrived in perfect cosmetic and working order, and I have yet to have...
