I slapped the rear Axiom rack on, which'll help carry a LOT of bikepacking gear, but now I need to find a reasonably priced front rack. The Axiom's under $50 (got this one for $35) - a great deal for such a high-capacity rack - but they don't seem to make front racks, and the other ones I've...

Here's the other side, taken on my stand as I prepare to install a 110 lb capacity Axiom Streamliner rack... almost looks like an oil can under there...

That's why I snagged it, right before they ran out of large frames! Rides purty nice, too 👌 Yikes! I already have extra wheelsets for two of my eMTBs because it's easier than swapping tires all the time (good wkd for Ice Spiker tires on trails coming up hereabouts). But different wheels...

This might help with your seated pedaling problem. I love them on my hardtails! Their out of stock, but if your old MTB came with a 27.2 post, you're in luck soonly. Otherwise it says Spring https://canecreek.com/product/thudbuster-lt/

Thanks for enlightening me - do you know when they started offering batteries? Are they Bafang branded or Hailong etc? The pic below is the 48V 11.6Ah on Bafang USA DIrect's website, which I assumed meant they only offer other makers' batteries. It's clearly a Hailong, so I was clearly wrong...

Where are those pics from?

There's a lot of talk in this thread about batteries, while the OP was asking about Bafang. Last I checked, Bafang doesn't make or even sell batteries 🤔

My perspective is based on limited experience with Bafang BBS01, 02, and HD motors, and extensive experience with Shimano, Bosch, Yamaha and Brose equipped bikes. Each bike I rode called itself an electric mountain bike, but hands down the big four are far more suited to twisty, technical...

For once I'll let the pictures do the talkin'... 😄:cool: Links to bike and kit below 👍 https://www.poseidonbike.com/collections/adventure-bike/products/redwood https://www.eco-ebike.com/collections/tongsheng-tsdz2

I'm pretty sure that EasyMotion used Dapu hub motors. I know their Evo Snow model did - I had one in 2017. Pretty much any battery can be rebuilt by someone with the skills etc. Regarding replacement or extra batteries and specialty parts, Voltaire Cycles (formerly Electric Spokes) of Verona...

My bad! I'm gettin' old...

Looks like Priority has a $700 discount for Costco members on its Embark ebike. Priority ships directly to you and handles all warranty issues, not Costco, so the generous return policy doesn't apply. The $3300 Priority Embark is $2600 if you're a member and use the Shop Costco Next page...

I see it now, sort of... but without frame geometry specs, it's moot anyway. I just noticed another difference from the grey and yellow pics, both of which were lifted from the current Rockstar page: The front brake rotor looks larger on the yellow one, and is a two-piece rotor, as well.

Great soundtrack! I can't see much difference in the fork's slack, though. Looks like a Vimeo commenter noticed the different downtube from the original photo, too.

IMO, fat tires are best for unpacked snow (but not too deep and definitely not on ice), while studded MTB-width tires work great on packed snow. A lot can depend on ambient temperature, sun exposure, etc. Pretty much any width studded tires will work on ice, but fat studded tires tend to cost...

When your bikes arrive, I'll be curious which frame, crank and tires they actually come with. Two photos currently on the Rockstar web page show different set-ups. In the greyscale pic below, the motor's integration is horizontally oriented with the crank, but in the yellow one, it's angled...

Agreed! I splurged and bought a second set of compatible wheels, they're much easier to swap out.

Long ago, I learned the hard way what road treatments can do to bikes, so I steer clear of pavement for most of the Winter here in New England. I'm fortunate, however, to have 3k+ acres of state land with endless miles of various types of trails as my "backyard." When the snow's 4 inches or...

Love it! Dave, your descriptions and analyses of your Giant are great, and "E-bike Evangelist" Jeff's summaries are spot on, too. Kudos to "Jillita" for producing this inspirational and informative piece👍 On the video editing side, the volume of the background music makes it difficult for me...
