    FLX Blade 2.0

    OK guys, haven't updated my Blade2 experiences over the past year and a half, so here it goes. Once all my mechanical issues were resolved, bent front rotor and the dreaded Rohloff hangar bolt, then I concentrated on riding the bike itself. The Rohloff was definitely a learning curve as the hub...

    FLX Blade 2.0

    OK, rode my Blade2 home this morning ... six miles of liking this bike more and more. As I forgot how to switch between eco and sport, the ride was in eco (someone reminding me that I have a barking hamstring). Power was always there, and mostly in a smooth manner ... and even in eco you knew...

    FLX Blade 2.0

    OK, I'm not a "glass half-empty" guy, however the problems with the new Blade cropping up on this forum can ramp up the anxiety. After countless hours researching my new ebike, then going with FLX to get the bike I wanted at a reasonable price, my mind is beginning to doubt my process ... hate...

    FLX Blade 2.0

    Thanks will do that ... however, I had my LBS order the front rotor. If FLX doesnt want to cover a shop repair, I’ll use the warranty covered disk as a spare. Just gotta get on the bike. After almost 3 months of corona protocols my patience needs rebooting and no place better than my new Blade.

Morning Guys, Took my new Blade to my LBS Saturday because there was a problem with the front brakes grinding. He called this morning to say my front rotor was bent too far for...

    FLX Blade 2.0

    When you browse these forums you begin to understand ... lots of stuff can go wrong with an ebike. I’ve been relatively crisis free if you don’t count a mangled derailleur. Now with my new Blade2 I had it all put together, charged the battery, and ... nothing, no power to the controller. My...

    FLX Blade 2.0

    Owning an ebike entails relearning many life lessons ... humility (which is super hard considering what you’re riding), and now patience (which is much easier considering what I’m not riding and have no choice). LBS was not able to get to my Blade today so I’m not getting to it either ... Monday...

    My Top 4 Value FS eMTB

    “It’s true, you can’t just have 1 bike“ As a family we always had a host of bikes, but as the years progressed my wife was the serious rider with the serious collection of bikes ... which to my detriment, I always mentioned. Now that I am riding again an ebike was the only way I could keep up...

    FLX Blade 2.0

    I ordered at the very last minute when a champagne blade came available. Was my last choice, but I ordered it anyway ... now I’m looking for some matching pink shoes. Just kidding, but the color, or perhaps the bike itself, is already growing on me after spending only moments together...

    FLX Blade 2.0

    UPS played pingpong with my Blade2 for a week and finally delivered it after I left town for a few days ... luckily someone was able to scoot it inside. The assembly was pretty straight forward, but it needed more attention than my expertise could provide. So down to the LBS. Did ride it up the...
