Well, to be more precise, when I said analog mountain bikers, I meant friends, and when I said "trying to keep up" I meant that I had my assist dialed down to minimum, which they felt was fair to make up for the added weight of my bike. The buddies figured that crossing a stream was something...

OP is in Minnesota and vendor is in Madison Wisconsin....duh. 😜

I've got almost 1000, primarily high speed (20mph) rutty, pot holed road miles on emtb. I've got Schwabe Nobby Nics on and I fill them to about 22lbs. I was new to biking and new to tubeless and sealant. I was under the impression that it made tires practically puncture proof. In the past...

Wow, that's amazing. I agree it may be a little overkill for ebikes, but what great news for the future of electric transportation. Now when are you going to let us know about cells that hold twice as much juice so we can halve the weight of our batteries and get our ebikes down to a...

You keep saying that, but that will never get ebikes into a 'low' weight range. Motors and batteries are going to have to get substantially lighter, which I believe will happen in the next few years.

I dislike 1000 watts of motor and 30mph on a full suspension mountain bike. It's on something like that, that the accident which gets emtb's banned from trail systems will occur. No hiker wants to be passed by a guy with a throttle going 30 unless they're at a motocross event 😳 And for God's...

So I take it that you believe the Yamaha motor is more efficient than others? Interesting! Would be interested in seeing data comparing ranges of different motors...that's not usually discussed.

Yeah, I'm a 200+lb. Rider with about 10lbs of gear on my 51lb bike. I've got really fat 2.8" plus sized tires that I keep at a low 19lbs of pressure to give a cushy ride, and my rides are very hilly. Add that all up and I'd bet we'd have similar results. You didnt mention tires or riding...

I'm waaaaay too stupid to understand that 🤣🤣

Yeah, and I love how he assumed Taco799 had "no idea what he really wants", and a "lack of desire to do research". 🤣🤣🤣 Ok, this know-nothing will go ahead and buzz off now, for assuming that our members are not stupid and not lazy.

Hi Zak! I grew up in that area. I remember being a kid riding my bicycle around skyline college and how bad the hills were. I used to call my dad to pick me up at the bottom of skyline Blvd and drive me up! You definitely need an ebike! Good luck.

I bought an electric mountain bike. I use it primarily for errands and pleasure riding. I thought it offered the most comfort for a novice rider as well as the most versatility, allowing me to trail ride, gravel ride or stick to city streets. Now I'm wondering if I made a mistake by buying a...

It's crazy when a vendor comes on here to assumedly promote their business, then tells a good intentioned person 'you don't know squat' and to 'buzz off'. Talking to another person like that on THIS forum is disappointing. I won't try to discern his motives, because he's right, I'm no ebike...

I'm up to 700 miles on the Brose S that's in my BH Atom X. I've completely submerged it in river crossings 3 times 😳😳😳😳. It's still functioning perfectly afterwards. I hope I don't live to regret those dunkings. One was a depth miscalculation and the other two were done out of peer pressure...

I live in SoCal...can see Catalina Island from the telescope on my balcony...but have never thought about biking out there. How old is your son? Good luck!

Hi Taco. I live in your neck of the woods. I bought a BH Atom X e-mountain bike. My concern was comfort for a daily 25 mile rides. Big tires for a soft ride and an upright riding position allow me to go much longer in comfort. What's your intended route? 101, then cut inland somewhere...

First that's not a drop bar road bike. 2nd, with a heavier rider (I'm assuming with the powerlifter comment, sorry 🤣), San Diego's hills, and the 'max assist' OP is specifying, there is no way the Shred will make that 40 mile round trip. Finally, that's not a 'money is no object' ebike....not...

Hi e-ocean. I bought a Topeka Alt Position Cage mount. It moves the cage mount screws down about two inches. I had hoped this would create enough space for a decent water bottle....it does not. 😩😠 All I can fit in there is a stubby, 21oz waterbottle, and even that scratches the frame...

I've tried battery powered bike lights and USB 'rechargeable' bike lights. Neither has given me the brightness I'd like to stand out on a sunny SoCal day. My BH Atom X has one USB 2.0 port built into the controller. Can anyone suggest a reasonably priced (sub $50) bike lighting system that is...

That does sound like me! I appreciate the feedback. Have you ever thought about full suspension for your riding style? Do you feel that having the Kinekt covers some or most of the bases that a full suspension would?
