Very stealthy and I think in a few years with battery improvements we will see 750w ebikes that look like this. The lighter and more stealthy ebikes can be made the more people in the US they will attract, especially the road warriors I see struggling up hills and boomers who want to still...

That's a solid ride...how many miles would you estimate and what bike do you ride? I'll have to work my way up to that trip. Have you encountered any negative reactions to your ebike being on the NCR trail? We are not speed fanatics so there should be no problems, but sometimes it feels so...

I think the specs and price are very good and that you will have blast riding it. I'd love to read your review once you have ridden it for while. That first 750w burst of power should give you a rush. Just put it in the highest boost mode and zoom off you go. Have some fun and blow by the...

See, my wife's bike is getting the praise already. I have 500w, she only has 350w, so I have the power. Seriously, went for a 10 mile ride tonight and she loves it, upright seating and no pressure on her hands..thinks she's the queen riding up hills and downhill with regenerative power...I...

We're now officially a two ebike family. Just had my first 10 mile ride with some hills that make me short winded walking up and the DB made them feel easy. Easily got up to 28 mph on flats but that's actually faster than I feel comfortable riding in an urban setting. My wife just got her...

Very cool. I can't wait until our military starts buying them at $750,000 each...but that will include the optional Isis decoder ring, lol.

I decided to buy the best ebike I could find from them closest dealer possible and love my purchase of the Diamondback Trace EXC from my local Performance Bike store with nation wide coverage where ever I might need service. I thought about buying from an online dealer but then where to get...

Amen JoePah. Not many of us boomers are, going to be competing with the local Mt bike crowd for space on the single track paths. As for my wife and I we can now ride longer, further, and flatten hills which would have destroyed us on our old bikes and still get some good exercise and fresh...

I will have my Diamondback Trace EXC next week and will give you an update on the ride power etc. Nice thing is that it's available at REI and a Performance Bike stores for local sales and support. Forget about the cargo bikes people are suggesting unless you like the style. I think that they...

Hope for a good first ride that's all.

I really like the Polaris ebikes as well they just need better marketing and distribution. My local Polaris dealers talked to me as if I was an idiot (which I well be) when I even mentioned electric bicycles. A good product but poor marketing and sales, and support. I would have bought a...

I agree it's hard to stop shopping and reviewing. Eventually you'll pull the trigger on one and realize this doesn't have to be the ebike for the rest of my life, just one until a better one that I can afford comes along. Until then find one you like and enjoy the ride .

Very good advice. I'll definitely put it through it through its paces before I bring it home. Thanks.

What am I supposed to do? If she bought the bike I suggested and she hated it or has any problems then it would be on me, but she chose it herself from a very reputable dealer now it is on her. Drive the extra 50 miles vs 3 miles from what I suggested for service and she is aware of that. I...

Exactly right and to the point. I purchased a DB Trace EXC from my local Performance Bike shop which is 3 miles from home vs 50 , miles to the closest true ebike store. There will be a learning curve for them but it will also help them gain experience and probably sell a lot more ebikes...

0.6gup I agree with Brambor's opinion of the Bionx system and if you feel that you are mechanically capable a DIY project could be fun. Otherwise get an experienced dealer to install it for you for $150-250 from what I've found and you will have a shop to service and maintain the bike for...

I love long ranting posts. Helps to clear your head to put it in writing. Unfortunately it looks like BMW went with the cheap route of a standard Chinese made bike, I've seen this exact style on other ebikes and can probably be found on Alibaba. Too bad they didn't decide to make a one of a...

I'm in your same weight range and have tested a number of ebikes and I can say that you will want at least a 500w motor, rear hub or mid drive, or 750w even better if you can find it with a 48W battery with most ah you can find, probably 10 or more. I personally don't like the mid drives but...

Thanks George. I really respect your opinion and posts. It's not as if this will be the last ebike I have, but let's get the party started already. Will be good experience for my local Performance Bike store as well. My wife went with a Raleigh Cameo with Bionx 350W conversion and I think she...
