Recent Amazon purchase but having issues with the clamping mechanism in terms of securing the saddle. You have to severely over-torque the clamp bolt (25Nm instead of the 16Nm recommended) or the rails will work loose. Problem is this Thudbuster clamps to the rails horizontally as opposed to...

I have a Cane Creek Thudbuster ST G4 that I am currently using with a very uncomfortable seat. I want to replace the seat with either a Brooks B17 or a Brooks Flyer (sprung). Do I need a sprung seat with the Thudbuster I have? Is it even practical to use a sprung saddle with a suspension seat...

Anything comparable available in the USA?

Ordered the Dost Kope 5/4 for late June delivery, cancelled by phone 5/15 after learning I would be out of state for the summer on a gig job. When I did not get a refund after two weeks, I emailed customer support and they replied with the email posted here. Well, I contacted World Elite...

Mockins 500 lb Capacity Anti Tilt Motorcycle Hitch Carrier Set...$159! https://www.amazon.com/dp/B087Z4H148?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details Comes with a ramp and cargo straps. It will carry the heaviest of ebikes (OR ELECTRIC MOTORCYCLES) and it only weighs 65 lb itself so it's easy to...

Using my Biktrix Juggernaut Ultra Duo 3 with the 27.5 x 3 wheel/tire configuration primarily for paved streets and light-maintained trails; but do not like the knobby tires included with the bike. Not a lot out there in this tire size. Found some 27.5 x 2.8 sized Super Moto-X on Amazon but can't...

Could not resist the 1000w Bafang Ultra Motor mid-drive (160Nm) with a 52v/17Ah internal battery and the 52v/13 Ah extender battery they throw in FREE (for a limited time), plus the 11-speed SRAM NX drive train. Got the optional Tektro 4-piston brakes, and the A-bars. Chose the 'Electric Blue'...

I have been talking with Jim Decker over at Soul Fast Ebikes about their newest creation the full suspension "Cuda". Creative high-end design features make their bikes truly unique in the industry. Jim goes directly to the source for his components and that allows Soul to build high quality...

I did notice that when Bianchi came out with their newer E-Omnia line in 2020-2021 the initial MSRP's were $6000-$6500, then they dropped to $4200-$4900. Also, some of the larger ebike retailers like Propel seem to have a lot of inventory on close-out. If there are a ton of unsold 2020-2021...

I will post all the info once I receive the bike, but wanted to let members in Hawaii know they are offering FREE shipping to Hawaii! Called them before placing the order to confirm as their system automatically quoted the free shipping, their rep confirmed it and said currently buyers can...

The ebike purchase quest continues. Saw the recent review here but there are none on Maui to test ride. I am sold as far as brand, components and power train. The question I have is about comfort. I am wanting a more upright geometry. Looking at the bike and considering the adjustable stem, it...

Yesterday I had a chance to visit one of the best bike shops on Maui, West Maui Cycles in Lahaina for a test ride of a Turbo Vado 4.0. This bike was fun to ride with a comfortable, semi-up right frame geometry and an excellent SCRAM 11-speed drive train. I found the mid-drive 250w specialized...

If your on Maui here are some fun, kinda flat but scenic rides: 1) I like to park at Kanaha Beach Park and take the mostly off-street paved path behind the airport to Paia and then to Hookipa Beach and back. 2) Another Fav is to park at Lahaina Aquatic Center and ride through Front street and...

I have enjoyed riding my 2017 Stromer ST1 limited edition a few times around Maui. This bike has such a smooth and sturdy feel to it but the time has come to sell it (with a newer battery purchased last year) because I don't ride it much. The OD reading shows 205 total miles, LOL. Why? I am 225...

Aloha, I am currently enjoying my ST1 (pictured) but want to up the voltage/wattage for my next ebike to take on Maui's powerful trade winds. Wondering why the big three (Trek, Giant, Specialized) only offer 36 volt , 500-625 Wh batteries and 250w nominal/ 500w peak motors on their ebikes? I...
