    The infamous Motobecane HAL E-MTB. I bought one…

    The dropper post has been constant problems. Finally bought a use wireless sram ASX dropper and it is awesome. After trying rekkon, ikon and other tires, no have 27.5 x 2.8 minion DHF front and DHRII rear. Best tires by far.

    The infamous Motobecane HAL E-MTB. I bought one…

    I reviewed the new Hal eboost team vs the Hal eboost pro that I have. I would still go with the pro over the team I bought for many reasons. The external battery on the pro is far easier to change than the internal battery. The team has a 12 speed rear cog (expensive parts) and not worth it...

    Hi. I would not recommend a kit since you need to very carefully measure distance from rear derailuer to the motor and from the right shifter to the computer to order the correct size wires. I am sure the kit is far more. The DI2 works great and the prices are a bargain- probably because...

I had to drop the motor- 6 bolts and remove...

    Soo happy I purchased the Motobecane eboost after seeing the other posts here. Awesome bike. I ordered one size smaller, 38cm, and it fits great. I am 5' 8". The pike shock and monarch rear are easy to set up and give a great ride. I took the stickers off the rims and frame. The dropper...

    Hi, Thank you for posting the pictures and comments regarding the Motobecane eboost. I ordered a high level Haibike full seven 9.0 on a black Friday sale and after seeing your post I canceled the order and then ordered the Motobecane. $500 less than the Haibike and better front fork (pike vs...
