I like the Topeak MTS DXP 22.6L rack bag with fold out panniers and pop-up top options for space on demand (around $105, Amazon). The spouse has the Velcro version on her Radcity and I have the plastic bottom QuickTrack bag version for my Radrover with Topeak fat tire rear rack track system. We...

What are you comparing? The best combo of everything on your check list that fits your needs, wants, budget, and riding environment. Very few ebikers are picking a specific motor type and test riding every ebike combination with that one particular motor.

Best ebike motor and best ebike for you don't always match up. Some ebike manufactures have similar models of ebikes; but, with a mid-drive or rear hub motor option (rear hub Himiway Cobra -vs- mid-drive Cobra Pro for example). You might need to narrow down your wants -vs- needs to help with...

I have Cirrus Kinekt Bodyfloat suspension seatpost on my hard tail Radrover 4" fat tire for years. Recently upgraded to full suspension Himiway Cobra Pro and swapped the Bodyfloat over (had to add a shim from 27.2mmm to 30.9mm for the larger Himiway seatpost hole). I don't do a lot of downhill...

My Himiway Cobra Pro is +95lbs with rack, bag, aux light with almost a 53" wheelbase and fits with room to spare on QuikRStuff Mach2 rack 56" max wheelbase. I like having the extra rack tray wheelbase length because I sometimes need to adjust the ebikes left/right for seat and handlebar...

I only need a lock/chain about 10%-20% of the time I ride. I added a rear rack with Topeak rack bag with fold out panniers to my Radrover fat tire and Himiway Cobra Pro ebikes. The top part of the rack Topeak bag is usually filled with tools/spare parts/flashlight/electric air pump (fold out...

I have 2 Radrover fat tire and 2 Radcity ebikes in black and white. I try to use those pre-cut paint protection film on high impact areas to help protect the paint and the frame from nicks. I also have a paint pen in white and black to touch up nicks exposing the aluminum frame (usually around...

I added a Himiway Cobra Pro with a 4.8" fat tires, +90lbs, and little under a 53" wheelbase. The spouse has a Radcity with 2.3" tires, +70lbs, and 44" wheel base. I researched 2" platform racks and narrowed down to 1UP and QuikRStuff Mach 2. The 1Up rack is very similar to the QuikRStuff...

I purchased my Cobra Pro last year before the D7 was announced. The upgraded specs on the D7 and color choices would have been my 1st choice if both were offered side-by-side for the same price.

I have the previous model Himiway Cobra Pro with the same Bafang M620. Excellent powerplant and soooo much smoother compared to my Radrover 750w Bafang geared rear hub. I can ride exactly the same with the M620 on PAS 1 up to 20 mph because of 2X the tq compared to having to use PAS 2-4 with...

Work commuting before dawn always had me concerned with being hi-vis from all directions. I don't think drivers from a side streets can see my socks because of parked cars or shrub/hedges sometimes. I like having side illumination on my ebike, hi-vis jacket, and front/rear helmet lights during...

I always adjust tire PSI factoring in riding conditions, best combo of ebike braking/handling, weight of the ebike, type of tires, and weight of the rider. My 75lbs rear hub Radrover fat tire rode best at 20F:22R with 4" tires and my full suspension mid-drive Himiway Cobra Pro rides best at...

I added a full suspension fat tire ebike (Himiway Cobra Pro). I was really surprised how smooth and stable the full suspension felt in all riding situations and speeds compared to my Radrover. Way more time staying seated over all types of terrain and bumps compared to my hard-tail/tail heavy...

I started out with wrap around eye protection; but, they didn't work in all situations. I had issues with hitting a swarm of gnats and getting bugs in my eyes, getting dust/dirt in my eyes on windy days or trail riding, or my eyes start to water in colder temps. I figured the non-helmet...

Welcome! I'm up the road from you in ABQ. I love the NM weather because we can ride almost all year (I don't ride the +/-14 days a year of snow, ice, or heavy rain).

6'3" (75 inches/190.5 cm), 300lbs, size 14 shoes, and 6'11" (83 inches/211 cm) wing span. I like to shop at Aero Tech Design for big/tall cycling gear: https://www.aerotechdesigns.com/

Riding a cadence sensor rear hub is "fall off a log" easy; especially, with a throttle. It was a very good choice for the wife and I getting back into (e)biking after a +30 year break. A rear hub to me is similar to those moving sidewalks in airports you have the option to walk or stand...

For me, it comes down to the weight of the ebike+rider first and tq+gearing second for speed/hill climbing ability. We have identical 2016 Radrover 4" fat tire ebikes and the spouse (130lbs) leaves me behind (290lbs) on hill climbs. I just added a mid drive 10 speed with 1000w/160nm and she...

Sad; but, true. You might really confuse the police if you tell them you are in the process of shop lifting the ebike if pulled over.

Doesn't sound fair to ride a pedal bike 15-20 mph with zero fines and you get a $50-$500 riding an ebike 5-12 mph? Doing a speed limits for all (e)bikes with fines depending on speed over the limit and number of offensives seems fair just like speeding fines on roadways.
