    eMTB Options For 2024

    @Stefan Mikes take a look at the Maxxis Chronicle if you can still find them in 27.5". Versatile tire and they roll well and are surprisingly quiet and reviews bear that out. I put a 27.5"x 3" pair on a new set of 40 mm rims and they are noticeably quieter than my Schwalbe Nobby Nics.

    Ended up going with the 90 mm size since that gave me the slight elbow bend I wanted and just tad less forward position. It works as advertised and I get now why the reviews I read were pretty glowing. This bike is a blast to ride and meant to be able to be ridden at 20+ mph.

    Quad Lock Phone Mount?

    I have mounts on all three of my E-Bikes and have a car mount. It’s super secure without question. I had reservations about the case at first ( I have an iPhone X) but it was unfounded. It’s not the thinnest case out there, but also not super thick either. I was sold when I was told it worked...

    Anyone have experienced with Rola Convoy Modular Bike Carrier?

    I don’t have your bike and I just looked and saw that it has fenders. What’s great about this rack is you can set it so that that the anchor arm clamps to the top tube of your RadRover5.

    Anyone have experienced with Rola Convoy Modular Bike Carrier?

    I have the single configuration with the 2” hitch. Capacity for single bike is 80lbs and with 1 add on unit capacity is 75 lbs per bike. Good up to 5” tires. It’s a heavy rack, but it’s also heavy duty. It will work excellent for your bike and the price can’t be beat. If you get it, assemble it...

    eMTB Options For 2024

    I'm surprised on the weight of 53 lbs considering the front triangle is carbon and it's using the Bosch CX Gen4 motor. Base model $5500...ouch. I know it's a Hybrid but a bit surprised he categorized it as more of a trail rider with all that suspension travel. Still, beautiful bike.

    After a little research on the Shockstop the only conclusion I could reach is that it's a no-brainer. Ordered the +/- 6 in 100mm....same length as current stem. Thanks @bob armani .

    BMC Alpenchallenge AMP E-bikes

    If you would have asked me about the suspension stem before I changed out the tires that came stock with the Sport I would have said a definite 'yes', but with the somewhat larger volume tires and even more so running less psi, it's more than tolerable, to my surprise I might add. So other than...

    BMC Alpenchallenge AMP E-bikes

    My model, Sport One, has the Steps e6100 motor. Only the LTD in the Sport, City and Cross get the e8000. 10Nm torque difference, 70 vs 60. Same small form factor for most part and the 6100 is actually the quieter of the two. Since I won't be conquering any major hills on this bike it's of little...

    Crazy Lennys. They had gotten 5 factory demos in various sizes and sold out quick. I agree about the weight. Amazing at 34 lbs motor and battery included.

    BMC Alpenchallenge AMP E-bikes

    I’ve always found this bike intriguing, so when the chance to buy a factory demo Sport One with full warranty for close to 40% off I pulled the trigger. I got a medium that had 154 miles on it. After the first ride I knew right away that the tires had to go. Rolled fast, but you felt every...

    SONDORS is releasing it's first mid-drive EBikes.

    The first wave appears to be sold out of Rockstar according to Sondors web site. I see new shipping date of January 2021 for next wave. The LX is listed as sold out. I also checked Cruiser and matte black color in that model is sold out.

    I won't argue with you when it comes to specifics, it would be nice. Using the word 'premium' to describe components is pretty vague and I shouldn't have to figure it out by looking at close-up photos, but the bottom line is that they don't use crap no-name stuff.

    No I wasn't. I was just trying to say if you put 2 and 2 together it's easy to surmise based on the components they put on their other bikes, like the MXS, that one could expect similar on the mid drives.

    Vaporware? If this was a Kickstarter thing I might agree with that comment, but it's not. As for components, look at the MXS model that some are now getting. Appears to be mostly Shimano parts. Are they top-of-the-line parts, no, and I wouldn't expect them to be given the bike pricing, but they...

    SONDORS is releasing it's first mid-drive EBikes.

    The tires on the LX appear to be the Maxxis Colossus. They are 4.8" wide tires, not 4". The width of the rims for the 4.8" tires most likely won't even accommodate downsizing to 4" tires. Don't even think about 3" on those rims.

    I guess I'm one of those suckers that's pre-ordered a Cruiser, but I have a feeling I'll have the last laugh. I can cancel anytime between now and October if things change drastically that I don't like. If it pans out to be even close to what I'm hoping for, especially with the Ultra motor, high...
