Considering non ebike mtn bike?

[E biker]

Checked out a carbon fiber fat tire trail non electric bike today, just picking it up was almost a selling point, any one else went this way instead of electric, I am fed up with the regulations and the gray area..uncle!

What brand was it? Lots of really nice carbon mtb and gravel bikes on the market lately.

I actually didn't look, we were there to purchase a upgrade for her.
But I just happened to see my Denago fat 2 has a label that says Class 1 upgradable to Class 2 or 3.What does that mean ?
Can you recommend one, this one was 1600 300 off.

I don't sell eBikes, I just provide brakes and brake parts for them. Many eBikes are using my brand, Bengal.

Here's a link to a popular brand using Bengal and the Class 1,2,3 definitions.

We have non E bikes, as well as e. My non e bikes included a 2023 Rocky mountain Growler, 1994 specialized Rockhopper A1 FS Comp and a 1991 CCM tange steel frame commuter bike. My wife and son both have GT agressors. All our bikes have many upgrades vs stock to make them lighter and perform better. The E bike gets used for commuting to work and going to the store for groceries.

I loved it, but have to put new tires/tubes (weather/time checked) and replace 1 spoke that is broke, it also came with a Cateye Model OS1.0 bike computer, that shows 160 total miles ridden, and is totally programable.

This bike has been lying folded up inside a 1985?, 185 Cessna SW, the previous owner thought the bike was a 2009 yr model (he's not sure being 87 yoa).

This bike is a feather weight compared to it's older sisters, and has tiny skinny tires, 26x1.75" tires, going to up grade to 26x 2.25 tires, I think?
ymmv
ps, the better half is eyeing it, I might lose it?
