I chickened out on buying a fatbike. Too many people told me I'd hate it. Too mushy feeling. Too much drag. Too much self steer. Only good for sand and snow. The fat tires are no substitute for suspension. I ended up buying a plus bike with 2.8"x27.5" tires. I don't notice any...

Stretching after the ride is WAY more important

Listening to Pedego CEO Don DiCostanzo on fox news now. Says since last Sept, their bikes are made in Taiwan and Vietnam. Batteries are from Korea and motors are made in Japan. He said Europe has been putting tariffs on Chinese made bikes since last year so they got out. DiCostanzo said cost...

The interwebs say pitbulls can maintain a running speed of 25-30mph and are great pets for runners. Usain Bolt runs 28mph and I'm sure dogs are faster than humans. Here's a video of a guy on his motorcycle clocking a pitbull easily running at 43mph. Better etune that pedelec soon!

Most amazing bicycle/animal chase I've ever seen....a bear! And this crazy guy abandons his bicycle to run when a branch blocks the trail! Absolutely terrifying.

I think TroutMD is trying to

I feel the luv again in this forum. Thanks for the support, reassurance and all the good info guys!

Hi Will. Thanks for the reply. I am personally super bummed about not getting the System X controller setup. My vendor, like BH, and like you, all refer to it as 'slightly different' and 'functionally identical' which drives me nuts. I'm trying to be civil, reasonable and cooperative in...

Awe, that's so nice-but you give me too much credit! ☺ Like when I order something French off the menu, don't know what it is and mispronounce its name, but the rest of my party think I'm cultured and start pronouncing it the way I do. ???

I ride my ebike like a short man wears lifted shoes or a bald man wears a toupee. To the point where I really believe I'm that fast/tall/handsome, and would never dare be seen without it. I peacock around the park, watching the little kiddies' mouths drop open at the sight of my speed...

I am suffering from this disease. Hopping on my ebike, I feel like Thanos putting on the infinity gauntlet. There's a gated community with a guard near my house. Recently, I've been cutting in as the gate closes. After squeezing into the private community, I use my e-mtb to climb up the...

That is epic! It has 2 throttles? I guess about 5hp? How long does it to get from 0-50?

Everyone talks about the need for 2....3...4 locks on their ebikes. Fahgettaboudit Kryptonites, Street Cuffs, Foldylocks. We're told to check on our bike every hour, and even under this much iron and steel, to not dare and leave our precious ebikes out overnight. Is all this caution an...

Ok, you've got a lot of typos in your post, so Im a little confused. The Brose is supposed to be good for 15,000km before any service is necessary, so I guess that's annually for you. I think your Brose TF is rare enough where most of us here will be talking about the T motor and less...

United States Forrest Service position paper on ebikes. I'll just leave this here.

Same here in suburban SoCal. Actually makes me a little sad. When I, the upper-middle-aged, out of shape old man would zoom past thin, muscled road bikers tricked out with the best gear on my ebike. It used to blow their minds and they'd race to try and keep up with me to get a better look...

I exchanged a brand new Bulls E-Stream Evo 2 for a BH EasyMotion Atom X 27.5+ Pro RC hardtail. I felt at the time that the BH offered superior tech, a superior battery, superior quality and a superior warranty. Now I'm having doubts about that decision. I'm 5'11" with a 31" inseam and got the...

Agreed! I rode the M2S FatBike full suspension. At 30mph on pavef roads (downhill) I felt like I was pretty close to the highest safe speed for that bike. Going 45mph would not be safe at all. The wind resistance would be a big problem, as would battery drain. The suspension on these...

It would get up to top speed quicker and with mor torque, but really wouldnt go any faster.

Just out of curiosity, does all this hold true for my smartphone too?
