    Which to pick?

    Thanks for that. I’ve rode both soft and hard tail before….its been a minute though. I just needed a reminder of how much smoother the full suspension is. Amazingly, and very possibly an error, the 2 and 2X are both listed at the same weight. That would make it even easier to justify the 2X.

    Which to pick?

    Thanks everyone for the great advice, one follow up question (as I tend to over analyze everything). If I were considering the Nomad 2X, and there is no weight difference between the 2 and 2X, are there any reasons I would want to consider the hard tail? I know the Hard tail is $500 cheaper...

    Definitely good advice, thanks.

    Which to pick?

    No worries at all. I would agree about the dealer, however where I live there are no dealers for either proximate. The market around me seems largely urban rider with some rail trail, so dealers seem focussed on that market (Gazelle, Aventon, etc)). All great bikes, just not what I am looking...

    Which to pick?

    When I referred to wide track any trail that is wide enough side by side or two way traffic (bigger than single track but narrower than a logging road. I am not looking to do technical single track. I will be on old logging roads and trails through the woods, some gravel and the odd rail trail...

    Which to pick?

    Hey all, and thank you in advance for your input: I am deciding on a new bike and have it narrowed down to 3. I am hoping that some of you have experience with one or more of these and can weigh in. The final 3: (no particular order) 1. Himiway D5 2.0 2 Velotric Nomad 2X 3. Himiway D5 Pro...

    Looking for input/advice on first e-bike

    Thanks for the input everyone, apparently if you don’t sign in for a couple of days the thread really grows lol. Lots to consider. Many of the bikes I’ve looked at have the ability to switch between classes electronically if you dig into the menu’s, not all. I think @PatriciaK mentioned to be...

    Looking for input/advice on first e-bike

    Thanks, those are some good points I need to consider. I believe the Cobra has a Torque sensor; which I would prefer over the Cadence sensors. I do need to lay eyes and hands on these bikes to assess if I am comfortable with the weight and configuration. I can lift that weight into my pickup...

    Looking for input/advice on first e-bike

    Thanks, I plan to. I am 6’2” with a 34” inseam, fairly confident I can both fit and handle one….that said I plan on demo’ing one first to be sure. I don’t want to regret spending that much money.

    No, you can buy an inverter and/or the solar panel separately. When I said it comes with a lot for the price I was referring to the rear rack, mud guards, large battery and the ability to switch between Class 1/2/3 (according to the person I spoke with at Mokwheel).

    Looking for input/advice on first e-bike

    Hi everyone. I am looking to get my first e-bike, I’ve tried two different ones (both ST’s) but prefer the look and feel of a more traditional MB frame and the look at bigger tires. Hoping that fatter tires also give a nicer ride, but I would still want some suspension too. I’ve looked all...
