When a big name enters a market, they so often do it half-heartedly, and you KNOW just by looking at it that they are just trying to fill a niche, get their name out there for free PR, and hope that the name alone will get people interested. Sorry, but that is a crucial mistake (see Sony and...

LoL @ those YT comments -> Officer: "Do you know why I ran you over today" ?? :D I avoid the road like it is made of hot lava. Unfortunately, I do have about a 300 yard ride to get to my trail system if I want to ride from my house, and the ONLY time I stress on my bike is those 300 yards.

I'm 6-3, age 50, and I find it hard to hop over my Ibera, and I bought the mini bag too !! It only sits 3" above seat height, but your leg knows where the seat is, so you really have to throw a leg to clear the Ibera bag. I knew that the large bag was just too tall for me to use.

I knew you would take my post as inflammatory. I tried to word it so it wasn't a negative, but it is just IMO too much to call his other rides 'obsolete'. And to be honest, I have removed the bookmark I had on his site when it became clear that he would never be interested in a class 1, and to...

SDuro FullNine 6 here .... I'm quite new to biking, having only started riding seriously in the past year, but my FullNine doesn't track like my mountain bike. You can feel its heft as you maneuver on it, but at 20+ lbs heavier than my bike, that's expected. I did get ballsy enough to ride...

Obsolete in that context is very click-baity. I know if most ebike owners were given access to multiple rides, they wouldn't settle for the same bike on different trails - they all have their area of specialty, so Karl enjoys this beast on his trails. I get that. But to say that he's going to...

Helluva ride ! I was briefly contemplating the Frey1000, and what really drew me in was the VERY cheap prices floating around on Alibaba, but once you get a shipping quote on a bike, you quickly lose any and all savings that made you interested in it in the first place ! It's quite shocking what...

Might as well plug the magazine for those of us who didn't even know there is an Ebike magazine available. Ravi already posted the link, and I'm on my second year of subscription to it. I've let a few of my subs lapse over the years due to changing interests, and I thought after I bought my...

Heh, Ravi and JR should get a commission for keeping this girl on the straight and narrow path to biking bliss ! I'm just amazed at how many hurdles she has encountered. We have stressed it already, but let me add it just in case you glossed over it .. DO NOT SETTLE for a lesser bike than what...

Good point. But after my bad experience test riding the single, solitary ebike they had in the shop, and getting NO info at all from either salesman who dealt with me, I am now looking for a reason to take my ebike in and rub it in their stuck up noses how much fun it is. They had a Turbo Vado...

I actually like the color .. different strokes. I was at one point before buying my Haibike thinking of buying a Frey1000 in the same black/green color scheme. I had a chance to test ride one in February but it was pouring raining and the dealer was an hours drive away. I wish they would put a...

Im looking at having my Alex MD40 rims converted to tubeless at a not so LBS in the Spring (Its about a 1.5 hr drive for me, but they specialize in ebikes, unlike my LBS which hates them with a passion. Very useful thread .. many thanks !

I'm in the same boat on my SDuro 6.0 - I thought I was done modding it to my liking, but since I've owned it I ALWAYS felt like I'm 2" too short on the position of the front bars. I prefer an upright riding position, so I'm now hoping this stem riser will fix my issue. Thanks for posting, Trail...

My wife found out I was cheating on her, after she found all the letters I was hiding... She got so mad and said she's never playing Scrabble with me again. :D Seriously, called it one time early in my ebike riding days. Told the guy I didn't think we were racing, then had a nice chat...

I just went over 500m on my SDuro FullNine on Saturday, every mile spent on the trails here in southcentral PA. I really want to get in a ride this month on the C&O in MD and put in a 50m ride on that trail.

My experience, so this is purely anecdotal: Eco - 88 Eco+- 64 Standard - 50 High - 42 That is with a very new 500w Yamaha battery on a very flat trail system with average pedal input. What REALLY kills the battery is high speed. If I average 21+ on a ride, my range drops by about 35-40%. If I...

I'm holding out for the eventual HyperFat 1500 ! No point in coasting along at 40 when your ride can do 55+ ** :p ** sarcasm, folks. Anything over 28 is just not at all safe, and even at 28 you need to have sufficient braking and better than average riding skill to avoid getting hurt.

Yet another Bikespeed RS owner - I thought 20 was moving along after I initially got my Haibike, but after a few months it started to grate on me that I'd routinely hit that 20mph limit quickly. Speed is addictive !! So I bought the Bikespeed and never looked back .. literally !! Nobody is going...

If you can find a leftover Haibike SDuro FullNine 6.0, that is pretty much what you are looking for. I am just short of 500 miles on mine, bought in late May, and it is an amazing bike. I SERIOUSLY doubt whether you are going to find one in your size that's available, but you may want to wait...

7% ? Hell, you had another 5% til you had to worry !! I rolled into my driveway on 1% last month, and I hopefully do not go any lower than that. Having the 500w on my Haibike is a treat, but having the Bikespeed RS is an invitation to get yourself in mileage trouble. I tested just how bad it...
