I this because you don't fix your own flats? I've never been held up for more than 20 minutes. -S

Since when? More contact equals more resistance but higher inflations of narrow tires probably account for the faster capabilities more than contact area. I went from 45 to 38 cm on my Dash and indeed eeked out a few mph. The width and nobbies of my current ride make it a slow descender, too...

Funny because I leave goatheads in, pulling them open the flood gates IME. Tire liners seems to stop almost everything but what @Brambor runs into. -S

Stromer, owned by BMC has headquarters in San Diego but it is hard to say what production timelines will look like. The ST2's cellular tech was the biggest holdup for that model. BTW - Some folks got free 2nd batteries or city kits when the ST2 was announced and then again when they actually...

Hope everything is straight and no major owwies. -S

Point being if there is no place for all that energy to go, then Sizzle. This was on DIY power builds, Stealth 'may' have electronics to prevent such a burn out. -S

FYI - I can vouch for Haibike as having a very stiff and stable frame, no experience with the Focus. I owned a cheaper bike that got the shimmy at higher speeds. -S

Stromer and many other DD hub motor designs. They are nice once up to speed, a bit less noise and few internal parts to wear out. Some of the e-motor bikes (street illegal) are using 3,500 & even 5,000 watt hub motors! I've read that if you throttle up with 5 Kw (or so) of battery and the motor...

500 watt direct drive VS 350 watt (performance line) mid drive is not apples to apples. I've owned both variations and the Bosch has more climbing torque (60 Nm have been claimed) and even a decent top end via reduction gears. Climb away! -S

That result is right inline with my experience, although I often pass slow e-bikers many of them are on rentals and probably have not been on a bike in years. My sore legs, deep sleep and continued weight control were my clues. Regarding your grandson how awesome is it that you get to ride...

Oh yes the caveat of low tire pressure. BTW - I've had two slow leaks in 3 thousand miles with liners. Both were composed of a thin wire that penetrated the liner, I'm guessing it is from a wire brush on some kind of rig used to sweep the trail. -S

OIC, thanks. -S

What are those giant mouse ear lookin things off the handlebars? -S

I did not vote because I have not met most of the other candidates, except the Stromer, and I love my Haibike FS RX. Some of those bikes are electric motorcycles with pedals, not really in the same class. And some can be unlocked to help meet your fun factors while voiding the warranty. We...

That is a kickstand adapter. The area near your thumb fits the rear stays opposite the cassette (gears). -S

And all this after the in shape, non-motorized Ladies have a go. -S

A 29'r without the cellphone (old style controller) would be nice, $4,200 price would be kewl too. -S

If 10K did not put a big enough hole in your wallet now you can pimp your Stealth up to motorcycle standards (looks badd azz btw). See and translate link for Deeters deets: -S

I just saw a FB post where they are lighting a 'new Stromer',.. lots of bounce cards and strobes but the bike is not shown yet. Could this be a Full Suspension ST2? ST1.1 with upgraded battery and motor/controller? Guess we'll have to wait for now. -S
