    Waiting for Wattwagon motor - USPS delays

    Jacked is a rather vague term. @pushkar is pretty responsive and has a reputation for high customer satisfaction. Have you reached out to him? I do know that the the new motor with Archon X1 controller was recently launched and a few folks have already done the upgrade and are enjoying the...

    WW UC Pro and beyond - color and personalization options

    @pushkar, Maybe you can offer more than two colors as standard and offer the special colors and design as an upgrade if the cost works out.

    Hello from Kansas

    Yeah, for you that makes sense. I'm trying to build hardtail front suspension mountain bike. Probably end up with better specs than the original FLX Trail, but still can't swallow spending $1000+ on components. Now if I can figure out to reduce the budget by 50% would be the motivator to pull...

    Hello from Kansas

    That's assuming that you already have an analog bike to begin with correct? In my case, I'm missing everything except the motor and frame which drives up cost. The battery alone (sourced from China, not FLX) was $440 (I believe FLX charges some outrageous mount like $799.)

    Hello from Kansas

    Hi and welcome to the forum! I'm curious about the costs of building your ebike conversions. The reason I ask is I've been given a donor frame and motor from an 2016 FLX Trail ebike and been trying to source parts to keep the project worthwhile. But with the battery, drivetrain groupset...

    Let's Ride Together (Ebike gangs 😉)

    Too bad the best ride for California is 600 miles away. 😞

    First ebike

    My neighbor just bought one and I rode it around the neighborhood. I own a Haibike with Bosch Performance Line motor. Some observations.... Throttle is nice and feels like riding a slow moped There is very little difference in power between lowest to the highest assist When you first start to...

    Your thoughts on building FLX Trail from Frame and Motor Only

    That makes sense as to why JGBike comes with the extra adapter since their front rotor is 180mm. Not worth more than double the price.

    Superbike - Series 2 unlock upgrades.

    That's given, but I think it's because of all the prep work he has to do including sourcing components since they are backordered.

    Your thoughts on building FLX Trail from Frame and Motor Only

    I picked up the frame and motor today. It doesn't look half bad, just a bit dirty. I'm going to have a lot of questions while I source parts and start the build. With that said, I'm planning on ordering Shimano MT200 Brake set. Amazon offers this via JGBike for $129 while ebay Chinese vendor...

    Superbike - Series 2 unlock upgrades.

    @pushkar said he got the prototypes but he needs a little more time time make the build to post the pics.

    Anyone know where I can source a low priced (durable) 27x2.4 wheel set for under $100?

    Your thoughts on building FLX Trail from Frame and Motor Only

    I did a Amazon scavenger hunt. What do you guys think? The battery, I think I will have to source from Alibaba - 36v 17ah around $200-250.

    New Turbo Vado 5.0 is a 2021 :)

    It could just mean that there will be no change between 2020 and 2021 models.

    Your thoughts on building FLX Trail from Frame and Motor Only

    I'm not looking to outfit this bike with exceptional components. Low price and good value that'll work is fine.

    Your thoughts on building FLX Trail from Frame and Motor Only

    Lots of experts on this forum and I would appreciate your thoughts, opinions, advice, suggestions, and recommendations on a potential bike building project. Thanks in advance! 🙏 I have someone that's willing to give me the 2016 FLX Trail that he gutted to upgrade to FLX F2. It only comes with...

    Quick update on Archon / Rohloff / Kindernay tests

    What would be the difference since you're holding the cost of the wheel? Once you receive the old wheel, wouldn't the transaction be complete?
