    Rear hubs...they're much quieter with some grease in them too. ;)

    Road Tires for EXPLORE E+ 1 GTS?

    AFAIK you can order right from Schwalbe USA. Sometimes there's an amazon seller as well. The last set of tires I got came from amazon UK. Arrived in about a week. EDIT: Looks like Bike Tires Direct carries them as well - I've bought a lot of tires from them, service is excellent.

    Road Tires for EXPLORE E+ 1 GTS?

    These are the best I've found - Marathon e-bike. The 28x2 does fit the 700c rim, and is a great size compromise for the Explore. We've never had a flat with these. Weight is rather irrelevant on a ebike. https://www.schwalbetires.com/bike_tires/road_tires/Marathon_E-Plus

    eMTB Options For 2024

    I would rather carry the bike up or down the super-gnarly sections than endo-it and land on my head. o_O BTDT got the t-shirt. Wife on a road trip, I was riding dirtbikes with the guys, "Honey, I need to go to ER for xrays, I may have broken my neck." Her "Do I need to come home?" "If they keep...

    eMTB Options For 2024

    Seems like the direct-to consumer Motobecane is a bargain. HAL, right? IMO, part of what you get with the higher cost bikes is latest and greatest componentry. Wheelsets, drivetrain, and the newest trends in ergos and geometry. And of course, really good suspension. There is quite a difference...

    Thanks guys. John was upset that I was misrepresenting myself by using Julia Roberts image as my avatar, claiming I was a "just a poser", and that she wasn't "narrow minded and petty" like I am. 🤣 The hub-drive fat-tire folders seem to be all the rage these days. They even come with full...

    Fat Tire EV in the $1k - $1.7k range. Help me decide

    Haha, yep. When I was 12 I got one similar from Morini of Italy. Looked like a Honda QA50, but had a 2-stroke motor. That would have been about 1969. The one before that had a lawn-mower engine in it.

    There is nothing discouraging here, John. And I don't live in the Netherlands, and don't care what they ride. This thread is about state of the art e-mountain bikes - the best of what's out there. I also don't care what people buy - they can go for whatever they want - it's a free country. This...

    Derestrict

    Everybody wishes there was a way to restrict this. Oh well. :rolleyes: If you're in euro-spec then all bets are off - their 25kmh IS too slow.

    Fat Tire EV in the $1k - $1.7k range. Help me decide

    The RadRunner isn't a folder, but their Mini is. RadPower bikes enjoy a huge fanbase - they do a good overall job on their bikes and customer satisfaction. I highly recommend them for new-comers to the ebike phenomenon. Have you ridden any bike at 28mph for any length of time? I find it...

    Cheap Suspension Seatposts - Worth it or Worse than nothing?

    We had a Satori Harmony cheapo one we used on a couple of our hybrid bikes and thought they were better than nothing. Maybe only an inch of travel or so, but they are adjustable, perhaps a little bit, and were reasonably happy with it for the $$ invested. They provide just a shade of extra...

    These new slim bikes are really attractive. I almost kick myself for passing on the LevoSL last year. Almost. 😁 Great looking ebike. 👍

    Outlet timer and delay?

    Tinkerer extraordinaire. And you're wasting your time. But carry on...seems to entertain. LOL I have five cars so I don't ride that much. The 6ah charger for the Giant bikes has a 60% limit button for a storage charge. Set it and forget it. And no, my packs don't heat up. Sorry.

    Outlet timer and delay?

    If your battery is getting hot after riding there's something wrong. Just charge it to 50-60% after a ride if you're going to store it. If your charger doesn't have that setting built in, a plug-in timer could be set to shut if off. Or charge it for an hour and unplug it. Why oh why do people...

    Hello From California, but Not the Coast

    And NONE of them are legal for ebikes. On the roads, yes, and any motorized OHV trails. But if you are aware of any single track in national forest that is ebike legal, please post them up. 👍
