I was promised 0.00045671... It's going back.

Silver =)

Thanks! Your posts here and on other threads were among the most helpful.

So I went ahead and ordered a 'Rize' model. I found a handy simulator thanks to one of @AHicks posts in another thread (https://ebikes.ca/tools/simulator.html), and mapped out potential routes on mapmyrun.com (they have a hidden interface that shows the grade changes along the route). At my...

I'd forgotten the Juiced crosscurrent had a 750W motor. I'd somewhat discounted that one in my mind after reading the forum posts on it. It seems like many owners weren't impressed with it's longevity. On the other hand, Rize hasn't really been around long enough to judge longevity one way or...

Thanks, very helpful! A couple minutes of burst is probably all I need. I live in more of a hilly than a mountainous area. The peaks of the Appalachian mountains are pretty modest compared to most mountain ranges =) I wish they sold the 750W motor without the fat tires. If they did I might pay...

So just some back-of-the-envelope math... The hill in question is 40m over 0.3 miles. If I climb at 10 mph that is about 108 seconds. That means I'd be climbing at a rate of ~0.37 m/s. My rider+bike weight is ~105 kilos so assuming perfect efficiency I'd need at least 380W of power to maintain...

Thanks for the input guys. How much of a struggle would a ~10% grade for ~0.3 miles be on a hub motor of your Rize X (the most difficult stretch of my would-be commute for the house we looked at today)? I assume if I'm able to maintain speed (and thus RPMs in the motor) it will be better than...

How hilly is the area you live in? People sure do seem to love their fat-bikes! I've been commuting almost exclusively by non-e-bike for the past ~4 years on 2-inch hybrid road tires. I really haven't had any problem with rolling comfort on them. This purchase has a very specific justification...

I agree. To clarify, I meant the "Rize X" and "Rize" are probably fairly similar in their hill-climbing ability (for exactly the reason you mentioned). For me, the choice is between the "Rize" (hate this branding! call it the "Rize Vanilla" or ... something!) and the "Rize RX". So basically the...

I'm considering the 'Rize' model, just how bad is the Rise X (I assume it is fairly similar) at climbing hills compared to the RX? I live in a fairly hilly area (Appalachia), so they will be a part of my commute (primary intended use) and joy rides (bonus use). On the other hand, the price jump...
