I also finally had a chance this afternoon to weigh my copy of the Current in stock configuration: 47.4 lbs. on the digital scale. Frame size M(53cm).

Whoa a tonneau that supports 1600 lbs, that's awesome! I do like the idea of having the bike up high and protected, and that RR5 is heavy of course... Maybe get a normal tailgate ramp wide enough to walk on, and make a little bridge ramp for between the tailgate and the tonneau, with a step...

It's hard to know what Augiesma may have eventually decided on, but deciding on single speed vs. multi there's a few more factors beside just the average grade or level or if you live in a flat area. One common example would be an unimproved trail or even a gravel or limestone trail that has...

Yup, I think the Future Shock does the same thing, in that it suspends the bars/stem and the frame and fork are all still rigidly attached components. It seems to use a gas damped spring directly in the top of the steerer tube instead of elastomer in the stem and a stem pivot mechanism like in...

Probably the simplest solution for shock absorption would be suspension stems, like the Redshift or the Kinekt if you find it necessary, one could be installed in a few minutes. I've not even begun to look at carbon disc forks yet, but maybe someone else can chime in on options they've used or...

Sorry if you misinterpreted stroking off as bribes, that's not what I meant. They're just your run of the mill bureaucrats so they aren't really super legislatively important, but regional stuff like that is part of the reason you do astroturf so there's materials and talking points somebody...

26 states passed 3 class legislation packages that were written directly by lobbyists, that's how laws get made whenever there is industry participation. It's not about quid pro quo corruption and never has been in the US, outside of several notable occurrences, at least at the national/state...

49 euros... I'm in the wrong business. !!! Good find though!

I think the good reliability is mostly because Bosch (usually) gets things right in the engineering and production, not a result of the closed ecosystem - I think that's just modern verticals profit optimization causing a ruckus and it has a high chance of ending badly long term, imo. Combining...

You might check out ebikes.ca and talk with Justin or one of the guys in the shop about the Phaserunner controller, they can really guide you and they are very smart and good people not looking to upsell or snow you. The stuff they make is a little more expensive, but they can really help out...

You certainly make some different choices than I would make, but I also never did a thousand miles ebike tour so I have no real idea what I'm talking about! But holy hell this is a FREAKING AWESOME project/trip idea!!!! Good luck!!! I hope you keep a nice triplog/journal porn for us to see :)

I have to agree with Alaskan, I just bought a Bosch and it's a anti-consumer proprietary locked down piece of kit. If and until it's hacked open and has good 3rd party support, you're stuck with the dealerships that carry Bosch, unless you can get what you need in parts alone from Modern Bike...

This bike works great and is fast in no assist mode, the extra weight makes little practical difference on the trails or roads on the level, and is more than nulled by the huge advantages in the wind and hills. On my test ride yesterday I was riding in 20+ mph gusts enjoyably. I have a...

pfft that trail access thing, that's laughable on its very face. Land managers aren't stupid people, but they respond to the same thing legislators do in this country. Money and power. Big bike hires big lobby who has the connections to make stuff happen, end of story. Land managers got...

IMO the three class system is a unmitigated disaster, marketing applied to law instead of using some more sensible art as the basis for law, like oh, I dunno, physics. The difference between a class 1 and a 2 is basically who can ride the thing, so more or less codified discrimination against...

I had good luck with em3ev too on a couple MAC hub motor setups and I think I have at least 4 batteries from them too - also not recent, but they were really good at the time and I still run those kits. They were my first and only high power/off road setups. I have 3 5 bafang mid drives and...

I literally stumbled into this bike while looking at others, after I found out Kona wouldn't ship to me and their website was broken as well! SO I searched around, saw this for a little more money and with the Bosch and a nice spec on the components, and I saw they were selling and in stock on...

While not totally perfect, anyone nearby can make you a passable copy by hand with a small chunk of aluminum bar, a dremel/angle grinder, belt sander, drill/drill press, and a tap set for the threading. Find a friend with a drill press or a small hobby shop in their garage, or even some folks...

You might be able to get a CYC mid drive on there, they seem to have more room for stuff around the bottom bracket - but with your downtube shaped in that curvy way, it would make the motor point down and lower clearance to the ground if it does fit. You can get all the dimensions and quite a...

So the bike came direct from Diamondback in record time, less than 48 hours after I pressed the order button on the website - which I found to be amazing - Amazon Prime doesn't even really have two day shipping up here! It was sent from an XPO logistics warehouse in Ohio to northern Michigan...
