I will post how I make out. Thanks again. I have had previous success with a (legal) shipping service that provides a U.S. address and then they re-ship to my Canadian address with all the proper duties charged and such. This is my plan B if I can't get them in a direct order (online or LBS) first.

I was simply quoting the OP's original suggestion of a possible $75-100 discount. I too agree a LBS or online source would never offer this discount for both the reasons you have just stated and what I shared as my insight to their experience (chatting with my few favorite LBS owners the last 2...

Advantage? It's a narrow window (as the opinions appear in this thread) but it's the obvious situations - Sand, Snow and open to debate (personal preference) really rough/rocky/rooted single track/back country riding. If I was told I could only keep one ebike from my current collection it would...

100% agree with your suggested test and expected results. This however is EBR and I was simply speaking to the overall experience with similar motors and batteries acting as the great equalizer. While my 4.8" fat tire bike does not go as far as my 2.2" mountain bike with the same size/family...

I started out the last few years with Bionx 48v motors/batteries and like others here, less go-go juice as the battery depletes. That said the display on my Bionx bikes show me this - Battery level 100% to 40% will give me up to the full 100% assist. Battery level 40% to 20% will limit only to...

Thank you so much for this recommendation Steve. I'm building out a long distance 2WD bike (one of a couple projects I have in motion for this summer) and the one key part I have been struggling with, like OlePhart was - is tire repair/replacement while far from home on wheels (in my case both)...

First day here, excited to meet everyone and loving the threads and photos. Wanted to share a few photos from my first winter of properly riding the white fluffy stuff. These photos are to remind us to enjoy every beautiful sunny day (those of us who are in our summer months of course, lol) and...

While you think they could set aside the charger from the 'bundled' ebike you're purchasing and knock $75-100 off - they in turn now have a charger that they can only sell to someone coming in (or going online) who needs a replacement charger or wants a second charger. The risk is to the seller...

How did you find the 1.9" tires in snow? I ask because I did try for fun my 2.2" tires last winter for a few rides out - only where there was some 'road' to work with and basically packed snow did I find the ride enjoyable and didn't have to worry (as much) about the front tire sliding out...

Using the same 557wh (11.6ah) batteries I get 85-95% of the range on my 4.8" x 26" fat tires as I do on my mountain bike with 2.2" x 27.5" and 'road' bike with 50mm x 700c. I do not see the penalty in battery life you speak of? As for motor stress, perhaps I do ride trails that have much...

You linked the 3 video's that inspired one of my summer projects and added a 4th (thank you) - I'm building out a 2WD Pugsley for this winter and the idea came from my RWD winter riding last year leading me to these videos. :) I will share this winter my experience between my RWD (hub) setup...

Awesome link - thanks Thomas for the share! Got lots of reading to do now while still in (mostly) lockdown. Appreciate!

Fully agree for in city riders. Humbly disagree for anyone who has access to/desire to riding on beaches and most of all are in areas that get a good proper amount of snow and they want to ride it. Out of my rotation of bikes I ride 10-25% of the time on fat tires in the spring/summer/fall and...

My first day here, excited to get to chat with everyone and share experiences and hopefully contribute to the forums. Since I have 3 fat bikes in my collection I can give some insight perhaps. :cool: The first fat tire bike I purchased 5 years ago, non-e with 4.6" tires. Weighs 32lbs dry and I...

First part of your statement is absolutely correct. Adding even 80-150watts of pedal turning to a ride versus just holding the thumb throttle and having the motor do all the work will roughly double your ride distance in most cases. As for speed, each motor has an ideal speed, rpm's in...

Great article FlatSix911 - appreciate the link and insight shared. I'm new to the forum (just signed up today and this is my first post) and I have been an ebike rider for a few years getting quite active last year and thankfully into this year. I have several Bionx setups with a collection of...
