    eBikers Dad Warned You About!

    I ride motorcycles on and off road many trails are now closed because some people just seem to have a proclivity towards abusing whatever the system is. This normally ends up in over-regulation and ruins it for all the responsible folk.

    Trek Super Commuter + 8s

    @WhiteMountainsNH I am in the same boat I used to ride the MS150 with a road bike and moved to C. Conway and now the mountains and years have me seeking an e-bike for this area. @Alaskan moved from Bridgton to C. Conway small world it is

    Hill climbing ability

    I could see using the Juggernaut MX 1000 to commute if I could get the 29 x 3" wheels and street tires.

    @elyhim My local bike shop is 2.5 hrs. away so that is an issue. Most repairs I will do myself as I do with all my motorcycles. My job keeps me busy from 5:00 am - 5:00 pm so a reliable low maintenance E-bike is high on my list.

    @PCDoctorUSA I have been going back and forth on the DYI it seems that it is not less expensive than say a RadPower or Juiced type but you would end up with better bits and pieces for the same dollars. You can go really cheap bike, battery and ebay kit not really getting something safe in...

    Hill climbing ability

    I am having trouble deciding myself between a nicely designed as @MisterM would call euro bike and what seems to be a high power Bafang bike. Trouble is my LBS does not carry these high power Bafangs to try one against the other euro bikes. The other thing is battery replacement cost. I love...

    Bafang Ultra in a cruiser frame?

    "The Ultra has too much torque for the Nexus." I wonder how the Nuvinci would handle the torque

    Bafang Ultra in a cruiser frame?

    Stunner is mid drive with 7 speed internal hub Shimano Nexus gears I can see where the Speedsters would make a big difference. https://www.biktrix.com/collections/bikes/products/biktrix-stunner?variant=54785500181

    Bafang Ultra in a cruiser frame?

    @TForan Do you use street tires? It would be nice if the Stunner came with the Ultra motor

    Hill climbing ability

    @mrgold35 I can only imagine that tire drag would have a major effect as well. Back when I was in my late thirties early forties I got back into bicycles started with an old steel 10 speed. My son wanted to ride the MS150 ride in Maine so after 20 years of not riding I oiled up this old ten...

    @Mr. Coffee You mentioned your Pedego 7 speed lagged on some steep hills this is a geared hub drive correct? If so is it a Bafang? I am wondering how the same 7 speed would be with a mid-drive.
