    CheapAss Rack Works on my Trail

    I decided I'd like to have the option of occasionally adding a rack to my G3 Trail and did not want to spend a fortune. So I did a little web shopping and found this cheapie...

    Reckless ebikers

    Agree with Cowlitz, with the proliferation of e-bikes it is only a matter of times before many trails are off limits, especially if e-bikers are not courteous with their less-than-god-given-power. There is a beach path near me that is open to "bikes" and I took it once - and never again -...

    FLX Trail Questions for Current Owners!

    You are correct, there is no shift detection and there is usually no problem with the derailleur. The only exception I have noticed is when I am off road in steep terrain and am really pushing hard with plenty of power assist. Of course I could let off a little to shift, but at that point I am...

    FLX Trail Questions for Current Owners!

    You have to shift through the gears to reach max speed with the throttle, so acceleration is like a stick shift in a car, you go through the gears. But yeah, acceleration is pretty good. When you are peddling and hit the throttle, it gives you a boost (my only use for the throttle is usually...

    FLX Trail Questions for Current Owners!

    I have had my G3 Trail for 2 months and have 400 miles on it. I had no previous experience with e-bikes and little with other bikes in recent years, so you could call me a neophyte, but I can share with you my observations. I use the bike for exercise, taking the place of my stationary bike...

    Battery Terminology

    I found this on the internet - In order to ship ANY lithium batteries products via air freight, the UN 38.3 test must be passed by the battery packs. New regulations were passed in 2016 that tighten requirements for shipments of lithium products and that forbid lithium batteries to be shipped on...

    $2.5k Cool Looking MTB w/FRAME INTEGRATED BATTERY for Big Hill Climbing

    Here's another nod for the FLX. I have a FLX Trail - the latest generation. Take a look at their web site and the video they have on their new generation Trail. Hard to see that it is an e-bike and as you listen to their "new" features you will note that they are all the "cons" that they...

    FLX Trail Questions for Current Owners!

    I replaced the stock tires (27.5x2.1) on my G3 Trail with 27.5x27.25's and there is still plenty of clearance. Reason for the change was to put on tires that had extra flat protection - Schwalbe Smart Sams.

    Newbie from So Cal

    Hi, I recently purchased a FLX Trail after lurking around ERB for a while. My first venture in to electric bikes and so far, I'm enjoying a lot. Now I can tell my cardiologist during my regular visits when he ALWAYS asks me about exercise - "Yep, 'ride my bike every other day." Until I...
