I've owned a 2020 Ultra FS for over a year and never seen the frame flex. Honestly a non-issue in every day use. It's a great bike. The only issue I've ever really come across is that the front axle is a ROYAL PAIN to remove. I don't know how it gets so jammed into the fork dropouts, I've even...

The website was updated later in the day, shows belt/IGH drives coming in 2022 for Como and Vado.

Looks like a nice upgrade from the 2020 FS. I like the new battery design and the coil shock. Are the specs right that the boost hub leads to a 10 lb weight savings over the fat setup? That's significant. I absolutely love my 2020 FS (4" tires), it is almost a perfect "jack-of-all-trades"...

Thanks Roshan

So I was able (after much struggle) to get the axle through the wheel while it was off the fork. I tried to install it back on the fork, stuck again. I wiggled and pushed and tried to tap it through, but now I have a new problem - some piece broke off the end of the hub: I pretty much give...

Not sure what I'm doing wrong but getting that axel through the front is a nightmare. The rear is fine.

When I originally assembled my Ultra FS, I had quite a time getting the front skewer axle through. I took the tire off this weekend to replace the tube, and it was a bear getting the axle out and now trying to re-install it. Instead of banging it through I want to fix the issue. Can see on the...

Others definitely covered the main reasons (EU regulations, supplier relationships, tariffs, warranty), but I'll just say that Bafang is driving a lot of trends in the market. Their focus on power is forcing Bosch, Brose and the others into putting out higher torque motors. Their low pricing is...

I think a lot of it has to do with the low maintenance angle. Taking the Harleys for example, you've got a belt drive (no maintenance), Enviolo IGH (very little maintenance compared to derailleur), and rigid (no shock pumps, oil, sag settings, etc.). Along with the rack, fenders, and integrated...

If you are handy and know how to work on bikes, that build looks to have decent components (what is listed, anyway), and the BBSHD is a common kit motor. You may save some money up front. I would note, though, that it is not as quality a build as the Biktrix Ultra FS. The Ultra is a better...

I have a mid-drive with a throttle. Don't use it much, usually only when stopped on a hill or get too tired on a long climb. It's a nice to have, I vote yes if given the choice.

Speaking of which, is it possible to buy just a new wheel/rimset from Biktrix for the FS? I've been considering trying the 40mm rims with the Super Motos for some road riding.

I've ridden mine over 500 miles on all kinds of rides (trail, road), hard (busted derailleur to show for it), but have never experienced a phantom shift. This seems like one of those things where, yeah, maybe if you set up a specific scenario you could reproduce it, but in normal riding its...

Hey all. Writing because I'm having an issue with the Biktrix Inverted Fork and can't seem to debug it. The shock seems to be rigid all the time. No matter where the lockout dial is (full anti, full clock, middle, etc), there is absolutely no compression on the forks. I've tried a few things...

They shipped to me via FedEx.

It makes little sense to place trail rules based on "motorized" or "non-motorized". Safety to other riders and pedestrians should be the goal. If you are going to regulate vehicles on trails, do it by size/weight and set rules around speed. That way there is no nebulous questions about what is...

Biktrix Juggernaut Ultra FS! Great bike

It is a gateway drug. I got it not knowing what to expect. My experience was same as OP, found myself starting to ride it everywhere I could point it. Great fun but you do find the limits of the bike. Eventually upgraded to a FS mid drive, but still have and ride my XP. It is my travel bike...

Same experience as the rest. Perfectly fine for gravel, dirt, or fire road type trails. Can get bumpy without suspension - fork and/or suspension seatpost help a lot. Don’t jump it or ride long steep downhills, the folding mechanisms are not meant for that.

Do you need full suspension or not? Do you care about a mid drive vs. hub motor? A hub motor hard-tail might be good for you. It's a pretty cheap combo on e-bikes, so you can find many under $2k. Provides assist when you need it but when its off, the bike is a regular old pedaler. Remember...
