    How Many e-Bikes do you have and ride ??

    Hi All, I'm curious how many e-Bike you own ? I bought two Treks 6 years ago, an XM700 Commuter - Class 3 and a Powerfly 7 MTB / 90% Rail Trails. 12,000 miles. Love the bikes. I'm in the process of buying a Trek Allant + 7s because the 60Nm of torque from my XM700 is starting to pull at my...

    Poachers and e-bikes.....

    Scum poachers using 'e-bikes'. Let me correct the story......Poachers using 'electric motorcycles'. Perhaps similar to the very high power Surron type off road 'electric motorcycles' currently being discussed on this forum ? Hmmmm ...

    Installed a Rock Shox on my Trek XM700+

    'Dongle' for a Trek Powerfly 7 e-MTB

    I ride a Trek Powerfly 7 MTB( Class 2 - 20MPH Max ) and would like recommendations on a speed 'dongle'. I ride exclusively rails to trails and limited roads and being able to hit 23-24mph would be a joy.... The new Trek Police Powerfly is exactly the same bike and it's a Class 3. I contacted...

    Juiced HyperScrambler

    The New Juiced HyperScrambler looks like a cool, fun hi-tech electric scooter. My problem is Juiced is marketing the HyperScrambler as an e-bike. This is not an e-bike. Yes it has pedals and 7 or 9 gears, but the pedals appear to be a platform for standing or a footrest while running through...
