    Our Rides in Words, Photos & Videos

    Dave-cool thread you created. Couple things about this forum - I love the age group - me thinks, too much testosterone on the MTB forums - probably age related, although they are informative. Also, love the mix of interest and especially the pictures from around the world. Chargeride - where...

    Our Rides in Words, Photos & Videos

    A couple of days ago I did this challenging for me, but really fun trail. I never did it before because I there is shorter ride called Larison Rock very close to this one that may son and I would take on our MTBs. I chose this one because a trail guide listed it as an EMTB route and I always...

    Our Rides in Words, Photos & Videos

    Yesterday was the first really nice day we have had this year. The area is Fall Creek which is outside of Springfield, Oregon and a really nice place to bike ride as there are miles and miles of unused logging roads and hiking trails. The map area is due north of West Fir/Oakridge which is...

    This thing is a Drug

    I was looking at an old trail guide (1992-2nd publication-first in 1990) of mtb routes in Lane county, Oregon the other day. There wasn't a single suspension on any of the bikes shown in the pictures and the trails went from being paved to absolute gnarly downhill. Quote from that day was "if...

    E-Bike...Price Range...Climbing...Higher...

    Why does it matter that it screams e-bike? When people are traveling at 28 mph and pedaling at 50 rpm - that screams e-bike. Both look like excellent choices.

    I am in Oregon and ride at the South end of the Willamette Valley. Oakridge area in the summer/fall which has logging roads leading to downhill single track. Easy access, logging roads in the winter locally from my house.

    This thing is a Drug

    Taylor57 & Marci jo, I ended up with a Levo Comp, but more out of impulse and fear than by rational judgement. I had researched a lot of bikes on-line and wanted something to replace my older Giant - Trance full suspension (which I bought off my son). My first real MTB was a Trek 7000 - hard...

    This thing is a Drug

    I think I came to Ebikes late in life which is really a good thing because unlike many experiential things arriving late mean you lose - stocks and real estate, come to mind. Not with an EMTB, I have never owned a thing - where after every experience with this bike, I want to care for it - I...

    Big Specialized price increase

    I was in my LBS last week and they told me I was fortunate to have bought a Levo Comp a month ago because of the pending price increase. I would not have it now if the price would have been $7500. Too much money and now need to keep the bike by my bed at night as I am afraid to leave it in my...

    Frozen battery?

    Hi, new to forum. Just bought an ebike and can't believe I have been missing out on these awesome bikes. I laugh each time I ride it because it has changed everything I do with bikes now. A friend was delivering Christmas cards on her ebike and I became very interested in the bikes. I quit...
