My current type 2 stepthrough E-Bike is too heavy and is not much fun to ride. Since we do most of our riding on dirt and gravel roads, oh and a lot of poorly maintained asphalt roads, i am thinking of going to more of a gravel bike set up. I first thought of a full suspension mtb but now I am...

I have a Salsa Fargo that I have been riding for about 8 years and the bearings are making noise and my battery is not what it used to be so it is time to rekit the bike. (Bike is still in great condition). I live in the mountains so torque and power are critical to me. I have had no issues...

I am looking for what seems to be the impossible. At 80 years old I live in relatively mountainous country but still love to ride my bike. The only road that leads up to our home is a very steep (maybe 25 degrees) and long dirt road. My current e-bike can go up this hill but only in the...

I am riding with my father who is very close to 80. His balance is great and we ride a lot of fire trails. His bike is an hard tail with an M620 motor. He seems to be doing pretty darned good but when we hit a steep long climb I get worried about his heart. Is there a more powerful full...

In looking for a more powerful e-bike I see a number of adds (especially on Amazon) for dual powered bikes. Are these bikes being made as cheap mopeds or do you even pedal them? Is it safe to assume there are two batteries that need to be charged? Does anyone make one that is as reliable and...

I am planning on building my wife an E-Bike this Spring. It will be powered by a BBSHD motor and now I am trying to decide on the crank and rear gear set. Riding will be primarily roads in a rural and very hilly area. There are a couple of very steep hills that are about 300 yards long so she...

While this is not a problem I am curious about how the bike handles PAS. Since the bike has a torque sensor can you get maximum torque in the lowest PAS setting? I have noticed that the watt display can hit 1500 or max in the lowest PAS setting and that gets me wondering how it works. I am...

Does Biktrix have any plans on producing the full suspension step through bike with the 2300 watt motor?

I have 2 heavy e bikes (+70 lbs) that I want to transport on the back of my RV across the North West. They are difficult to lift up on my current Thule rack which was used for regular mountain bikes for years, plus it is not rated for that much weight. I am looking for suggestions from other E...

I have a steel Salsa Fargo with a Bayfang BBSHD and a 52v battery that has been my everyday go to bike for the past sux years. I am told that I rode it way too much on level zero and that has caused me to replace bearings at least once. I have decided to move this setup to my wife’s bike...

Does anyone have a manual or URL to user documents on the Photon Ultra Front Fork or the Zen suspension post?

I currently have a Salsa Fargo with the Bafang 1kw motor and a 52v battery. It rides ok except that the bearings dont seem to last more than a year of hard use. Ihave thought about going to the 750 watt motor but I really need the power. I understand that CYC makes an ebike kit that can go up...

I have a nice stepthrough e bike with an M620 motor. I am still finding some tough pedaling on very long and steep upgrades. I noticed today, (on line), that there is a company that can modify the output of a fully functional M620 from a 1,000/1,500 watt motor to (IIRC) to 1,500/2300watts...

I am riding my new Zen Photon Ultra and the speed and distance on my bike. The bike computer was set at the factory for a 26” wheel. The original specs on the bike said 27.5”. When I measure the diameter of the wheel from the floor to the top of the tire it is about 27.5” but the wheel rim is...

My Zen e-bike provides a lot of information but I want to ensure I am getting a decent workout whenever I ride. I am looking for a bike computer that will monitor cadence and heart rate. Mapping is provided by my iPhone and GPS. It seems I cant get this data without spending a lot of money...

It appears that my Zen Photon Ultra current belt drive set up is geared to low. Gear 1 is ridiculously low and I find myself riding in gear 14 just to barely maintain a touring speed of 16mph. I would like to be cruising in gear 11 but the pedal rotation speed is beyond my capabilities (must...

Which bike companies offer a reasonably good step through EBike with a Bafang M620 1000w motor that is not the CAN version? Hopefully a company that uses good quality parts and has a good customer support group.

Your typical ebike console has almost all the information that a bike computer provides, however one item I really like is an easy to read and monitor heart rate display. I typically used to ride my bike to maintain a particular heart rate level based upon what my goals for that day are and...

I live in a very mountainous area and am finding my current E Bike a bit underpowered. I am looking at a line of mid drive motors that increase my torque from 85Nm to 120Nm for the same wattage. We do not do single track or fully loaded long distance (+350 mile) touring, but do ride our bikes...

Thanks to all the input on this and another forum I am down to two very similar and excellent choices, I think. The prices are very similar. The Photon Pro has a better hub and a good front fork and a single long distant battery. The Omega has two batteries giving a bit more distance and the...
