    Juggernaut Classic vs HD

    No worries, sorry it wasn't earlier! That's awesome, glad you and your wife are enjoying your bikes! My wife is currently in the waiting game for her Stunner Step Thru. :)

    Juggernaut Classic vs HD

    Thanks for that advice, I'll be keeping an eye on it and hopefully it's just the derailleur! I have definitely joined the Facebook group, which has been very helpful too. Thanks!

    Juggernaut Classic vs HD

    Apologies for taking a while, but I received my bike at the end of July and have had a few weeks with it now - and am ready to post some of my thoughts, hopefully they'll be helpful for someone. One note: I ordered the Juggernaut Classic, as I mentioned above, with everything stock except one...

    Swift Lite

    I haven’t seen any official reviews either, I think they just started selling them a month ago. A few people have received them and most seem to like them, from what I’ve seen in that Facebook group, for whatever that is worth.

    Swift Lite

    From the brief information you have provided - probably would suit your needs. Does not have many gears or assist levels, but for getting around town and some minor hills it looks ok. The model is new for them, though - I've seen a few hiccups for people, but others who it has worked great for...

    Will do! Still waiting on the bike, though. :) Hopefully by end of the month!

    Juggernaut Classic vs HD

    Wanting to complete a loop here - have ended up purchasing a Juggernaut Classic but will be upgrading the drivetrain to Deore for a pretty reasonable price. Kudos to the customer support at Biktrix for helping me with a number of questions, including Roshan himself. Now I just have to wait for...

    Juggernaut Classic vs HD

    Ouch!! Hopefully you’ve recovered from that spill! Agree with Edmonton ice as a significant hazard, I’d definitely be looking at studded tires for winter. The armor seems like a good idea too! Thanks!

    Juggernaut Classic vs HD

    I have heard/read that about Biktrix and their support- and I’d like to support a provincial neighbour if I can. :) Just need to figure out my personal cost and component comfort level! Thanks!!

    Juggernaut Classic vs HD

    I'm fortunate that my distance to work isn't TOO far - but it's still really damn cold and icy some days. An ebike is much cheaper than a car, though, and likely safer (and quicker) than transit for the near future - so.... we'll see. :) Thanks for your thoughts on the HD, it does look really good!

    Best drivetrain options/value for money?

    For me it’s also 105 on road bikes but I don’t know the mtb range well- thanks very much, greatly appreciated!!

    Much appreciated, Ravi and Nova! Thanks!

    Juggernaut Classic vs HD

    I live in Edmonton - so -15C or colder is most definitely a normal thing in winter! :) There are definitely hills, although only one on my commute. Icy pavement/trails are pretty common too - and would also be my top concern for winter. I like the idea of a more robust drivetrain with more...

    Best drivetrain options/value for money?

    Does anyone have any insights on the best value for money drivetrain/shifting/rear derailleur components to consider for a fat bike? I see a lot of Shimano Tourney, Altus or Acera in entry level/direct to consumer fat ebikes - how do these fare in general? Good enough, or is it usually worth...

    Juggernaut Classic vs HD

    Would anyone have any insights to share on comparing the Juggernaut Classic vs Juggernaut HD? As best as I can tell, the primary differences are a more powerful motor, better quality rear derailleur/shifter and better brakes, all favouring the Juggernaut HD. Is that roughly correct? The...

    My review of the 2020 Rize X

    Great reviews everyone! Question if I may - how are people's experiences with the bikes and fat tires on the road? I'm considering the Rize X as an all year commuter but I know fat tires are really best used for off-road/snow/sand etc., and in briefly speaking with Rize they didn't really...
