Cool thanks, I think the tire industry is going to catch up two e bikes. And start making 2.8 to 3.2 in tires. Looking to get cushion and suspension from my tires, the roads are rough, and I think tires can give you a better suspension often than Forks and shocks. I think the sweet spot for...

still trying to figure out what the sweet spot is for an electric bike being ridden primarily on the street Like What are the points where the trade-off between float and cushioning , maneuverability, speed and efficiency, really become noticeable I Still think the bike industry hasn't really...

I probably ridden about 10000 miles and I've had my e-bike for 5 years And to compare a trail ride to a a street ride with many potholes and cracks is silly What happens is on a street ride you get up to speed and then all of a sudden you hit a big pothole, or you go over rough pavement...

You're just proving my point! Your real argument is that you can not get top quality wider tires so you're just going to argue for your thinner tires The increase in grip and comfort is exponential!! The decrease in speed and range is negligible!! Let me say that again The increase in grip...

That's what I said your bike isn't designed for those tires so you're ruling them out Obviously If you have proper rims the tires won't slip off I can say my 1995 Honda is faster than my neighbors Ferrari, and when he challenges me I can just say listen let's agree to disagree you have your...

Well this is a forum discussing electric bikes right? Most Electric bikes weigh 60 pounds on average, So We're already talkin about bikes that are not going to be nearly as efficient as it 16 or 17 pound road bike I've Already explained the reason thin tires are so coveted on road bikes is...

what would you recommend for an e-bike for someone who primarily rides on the roads Do You think of 2.8 in is probably the best of both worlds? Honestly I might even want to go with like a 3.2 but they just don't make the real high-end tires in that width If anyone knows this different let me...

Guys let's think rationally! The main issue with e-bikes is not getting an extra few miles per hour faster. It is usually range and comfort and safety The Reason people are into thin tires on road bikes is because they can go a lot faster. Maybe five miles per hour faster compared to a...

Also look into primarily ride on the street. Occasionally Trails but 95% of the time Street

How do you like The Fat Tires? How wide? I guess I should try it. But I kind of think it might be Overkill How Does it handle? You ever ride a 2.8 inch tire. I'm thinking that might be the best of both worlds

I just rode in a lot of different bikes for 45 years. Everything from racing bikes to mountain bikes I Don't know why you keep saying fat tire bikes I Don't want a Fat Tire Bike 2.8 in is considered plus-size 2.8 in will give you way more cushion, and grip than 1.75 in It Will only have...

Cool what kind of bike?

Oh it also has much better grip so you don't fall and kill yourself Yeah I guess I'm crazy for wanting a better riding experience A more comfortable safer tire that is better in almost every way And all the recent findings have shown that wider tires up to a certain point add very little...

Maybe you can explain to me what the benefits of a 1.75 inch tire is When you can get a 2.8 inch tire that has better rolling resistance and is lighter I guarantee you the Schwalbe 2.8 inch G1 Tire is lighter than 90% of tires around 1.75 in and has lower rolling resistance than another 90% of...

I have heard the m600 is a loud motor. Someone else mention that it did quiet down over time I Was thinking of getting an flx Trail. Ora HPC Scout which uses the bafang 750 How did things work out for you? Does the Luna nylon gear work good?? Would love to get some advice thanks

On the plus side the bafang is more powerful with a throttle On The downside of heard it's louder Can anyone speak to how well the torque sensor is with the m600 compared to the more expensive brands? Any other comparisons people are familiar with, pros and cons between them??

Good point! That's what I was thinking too.

Honestly there are times where a throttle comes in really handy And it's also just a lot of fun once in awhile I Like to Pedal almost all the time. But every once in awhile a throttle is just a nice feature to have I Guess I have to just try it for myself but since a lot of neat drives don't...

Nice! So you just fix up your old bikes. How much lighter are the new Hub Motors? I have the original Juiced cross-current. I doubt the new ones are that much lighter. Do you have any specs on this? I thought of trying to modify my crosscurrent to put wider tires on it but most people have...
