There are a bunch of good ones out there (from what I read), nerd, but be aware that most of them are most decidedly not lightweights.

Interesting, Marcela. Keep me/us posted. Does your model have the RST Guide front fork suspension? I’m just curious as I was considering that fork as a replacement on my bike down the road (that’s a whole other long story :) ). Tell me/us what you think about the weight of the bike?

That doesn’t happen on my RipCurrent S, Larry. The throttle and the pedal assist should (IMO) be independent, and cadence-only motor control might be a bit binary. But, honestly, it sounds like the controller on the Portola is a bit primitive. Many people complain about the throttle on...

This is just from a few months ago, see below. Also, regarding fatties, you might want to look at 20” tires as they are popular now, and all the vendors I mentioned in that thread have versions of 20” bikes. https://forums.electricbikereview.com/threads/fat-bike-advice-to-my-eye-doc.57373/

Looks like fun. That’s awfully heavy, although I thought my Juiced RipCurrent S was heavy when I first bought it… I’ll be curious to know if you can actually get comfortable banging the Warrior around on single tracks. I feel like this might’ve been the next evolution of a Juiced bike if...

Lovely, JG!

There are oh so many human flaws that have reared their ugly heads in modern times. Frankly, the urge to cheat seems like very small potatoes to me, but I’ll stay far away from that argument. :) In any case, for a race official like you, I’m sure it’s of primary importance and (while not new)...

Sorry, I don’t know your bike. But, this sounds like your bike uses only pedal cadence to apply its power? I don’t know if your bike has torque sensing capability, but you should look for that in your settings (and check your manual). Some bikes offer options in this area. Regardless, the...

👍 Radio has always played to the human condition of wanting to communicate... even from remote places. I don’t know if it’s always been true outside the US, but In the US acquisition of ham licenses required testing and demonstration of levels of skill/knowledge/training/electronics. Long...

Terrific analysis and fair. Very well-spoken guy!!! I love that he pointed out the irony with DJI and self-imposed regulations on drones… It is what it is, and it will play out the way all personal liberties play out. I’ll have to find some way to get an Avinox-equipped fat-tire bike before...

@Wallykl Some interesting replies here: https://forums.electricbikereview.com/threads/lifepo4-tech.58229/

Thanks for clarifying. Obviously, I was just reacting to incorrect information / rumor coming from someone.

Totally know that story, Ràs… Juiced was around for 15 years before they imploded. Having said that, my bike was not prevented from working. I think that if the bikes became unrideable, that’s a fatally-flawed security system. Unbelievable.

Necrothread. I’ll admit; I looked. :mad:

I think that’s cool, Jim. If you really get into it, you’ll have to figure out how to mount it on your handlebars and power it from your bike battery! :) Cheers. WA2MAL (from the 1970’s).

Well, it certainly is inexcusable for the bikes to stop working with their website down, if that’s what happened. Jeez. I read something on the (current) site that you don’t need to run the app (at least with the new bikes?).

I really like that elongated top tube design. I haven’t seen anything like that before. To me it looks indestructible with those monstrous-diameter tubes, and at the same time it looks kind of svelte. Very nice design. To my eye, separating the hub motor from the gears/IGH really makes the...

That Vanmoof is wicked cool, @mschwett . Very interesting beast with a unique design. Battery and electronics are in the top tube? Do you like how the combination of pedal power through the IGH works with a front motor? Seems really clever for anything but rough MTB-type terrain!

Very nice indeed. Are they still around or is it just that they don’t make fatties anymore?
