    FREY AM1000 V6 - too specialized?

    I'm an all round ebike rider. I love the trails, having a "little" adventure through some single track, as well riding with my wife on gravel/paved trails. I'm 67 yrs old, but I haven't given in to not having fun on my bike. I'm looking at getting a full suspension but I am hesitant on making...

    Which Frey to buy for commuting that has full suspension?

    Making a $5000 decision on a bike that you have never been on can be a daunting task. I'm looking for a commuter as well as FS, so I'm wondering if any Frey owners have found the solution or compromise. I am pondering the AM1000, M600 and CC. All of which I believe I can put a rack on. Are any...

    Is there a Trek Powerfly FS 9 EQ with similar features?

    So far it looks like Frey checks a lot of the boxes. My budget is $4k US or $5K CA. Frey have a couple of FS ebikes that are within my price range. The M600, AM1000, EX, CC. If I drop the rack, there is the Giant Stance E+2, Eunorau HS, to consider as well Cube have a couple I've been...

    What is the difference between 80nm of torque on a hub motor(cadence sensor) compared to a 80nm of torque on a MD (torque sensor)

    I have a cadence sensor on my 750w Bafang G06 series hub motor that puts out 80n.m of torque. Will there be a noticeable difference on climbs if I get a Bosch 250W torque sensing mid drive motor with 85n.m of torque?

    Is there a Trek Powerfly FS 9 EQ with similar features?

    Is there a Trek Powerfly FS 9 EQ with similar features?

    So I have an fat tire ebike now and would like something a bit more versatile. I found the Powerfly FS 9 EQ, but I don't have 8k CA to spend on an ebike. Does anyone know if there is something similar to this out there with integrated battery. I want a full suspension, but not a full blown Emtb...

    SCAM or LEGIT?

    This is definitely a SCAM. The guy so far has sent me 3 separate addresses of where his warehouse is located. Each time I Google them they come up as some other business. When I asked for photos of his warehouse where all these bikes are stored he sent me photos of the interior of a bike shop. I...

    SCAM or LEGIT?

    Just Google his email address or phone#s 2036757348 or +447377350333, and you can see he is a new member to a lot of classified forums in North America and oversees where he is selling Specialized, Trek, Cannondale.

    SCAM or LEGIT?

    I was on my local bike classified forum yesterday and this guy Dave Jackson had listed a ton of brand new Trek bikes for cheap, included high end emtb's. i.e. 2021 Trek Rail 9.7 $4,000 USD. I contacted him by email and he wrote: Brand new original bike which is still sealed in its original...

    Looks like a great bike but I can't find any info on where to buy one.

    FLX Trail 5 import from USA to Canada.

    There are a-holes everywhere that do not heed to safety, and regard people on paths as obstacles. I see uber bikers that will ride down the center lane in their jester outfits darting in between and around other bikers and pedestrians like it's the Tour de France. But I get your point. Having a...

    FLX Trail 5 import from USA to Canada.

    My reference to the "pain in the ass" is that I can't purchase the bike I want because it has the "potential" to exceed Canada regulations even if I have the company ship it programmed to meet our regulations. Trust me, I have no need for speed or injury, I just want the torque this bike has, as...

    FLX Trail 5 import from USA to Canada.

    LOL. My intention was to bring awareness to the new regulations. How did my thread end up taking on another life and become a "danger and a menace" thread. Doesn't matter. However I would like to hear from someone who has received a new bike shipped from the US where its power is unlocked...

    FLX Trail 5 import from USA to Canada.

    I have been looking for a new ebike and it appears that the FLX Trail5 checks most boxes. I love the look with the integrated battery, Mid-drive, 120nm torque, 130mm travel on forks, suspension seat..etc.. But my bubble just burst as I found out Canada has updated its laws around ebikes. On...

    Looking for E Mountain Bike recommendations.

    Foregoing the 1000W mid drive, I thought I found the right bike in the F5 Trail by FLX, but they don't ship to Canada. https://flx.bike/products/f5-trail

    Looking for E Mountain Bike recommendations.

    I have a Voltbike Yukon 750. I am comfortable with it's riding position (15" reach), as I have neck issues. I'm looking for a new bike for trail riding and single track on a farm. My criteria is as follows: Reach max of 19", weigh no more than 60lbs, at least 120nm of torque, 1000w mid drive...
