    You Really Do Get What You Paid For (Motors)

    I finally had a chance to demo aventon's fat bike and also a bike with bafang mid drive. The gap in quality (and safety) between the industry leaders such as Bosch, Shimano and Brose and the aforementioned is enormous. With the Aventon, power did not come on at all without at least a half...

    I'm considering the 2021 Radrover for a potential Black Friday purchase. I want a comfortable bike, but 4" tires might be a bit much. Who has sized down to say 3.3" or 3" tires? How was your experience?

    How Does Your Lectric XP Compare to Bigger Wheeled Bikes (26" and Over)?

    I'm looking at several folding models with 20" wheels, including the XP. For those of you who ride bikes with standard sized wheels 26" and bigger, do you find that the smaller wheel size makes balance more difficult or that you have to correct your steering more often? I don't want a twitchy...
