    You don't buy an eMTB just for the motor - Unique review of top 12 eMTB's

    After 6 weeks, I could not be happier with the Brose motor and my 2017 Easy Motion Atom Lynx 6.0. Just a phenomenal machine. I was pleasantly surprised to find that despite what alot of people have told me; it's not all that bad to pedal without power. Consequently, I'm typically only using 20%...

    Charging on the road

    No, I have the 1A inverter for a stereo speaker, but I have not tried it, or any other inverter to charge the battery. Thanks. I'll look into the BESTEK. The van has two batteries.

    What are the most flat-resistant 27.5 x 2.35 tires for rocky singletrack ? I don't care about the weight.

    How about a sticky for new bike owners ?

    I put a down payment on a 2017 Easy Motion Atom Lynx 6 27.5, sight unseen from a shop 600 miles away and I'm gonna pick it up. It was the last one, so that pushed me into making a decision. How crazy is that ? I do have the option to switch, if I don't like it. As far as a $1,000 bike, I'd have...

    How about a sticky for new bike owners ?

    If that's the case, why would anyone spend over $1,000 for a bike...I know I wouldn't.

    2017 vs 2018

    Yikes, 70/20 is the new 80/20...might as well just buy an extra battery from the get go for 100%

    How about a sticky for new bike owners ?

    Well, perhaps the better way to look at this is, " It's my first and possibly last ebike...how is the best way to take care of it and avoid problems."

    2017 vs 2018

    Having a hard time quantifying the closeout discount for 2017 vs holding out for the improvements of 2018. Given the depreciation for ebkies, I want to hang onto whatever I buy for awhile...

    How about a sticky for new bike owners ?

    I just learned about the 20/80 charging which seems to be common knowledge, but not so much for newbies. Why not list this and other do's and dont's for new ebike owners in a stcky thread ?

    Charge cycles

    I was looking at two fairly similar FS MTB bikes with the Brose motor and wonder why their charge cycles differ so much. One lists 700 charge cycles for a 460 wh battery while the other is listing only 500 charge cycles for a 600 wh battery.

    Is Bulls the best ebike ?

    I noticed that Bulls has 5 best in class ebikes according to Court's rating system, pretty much lapping the field. Are they really that good ?

    Reaction to first ebike experience

    Well congrats on the bike, and on keeping your options open. Choosing hub-driven when you were looking at mid drives initially, is going against the grain. Lots of choices out there and few places to demo any kind of selection.

    Probably gonna go with the atom lynx, if the one-size-fits-all-frame fits...love the specs. Now the question is 2017 or 2018 ?
