Full suspension Ultra bike!

[dugg914]

So I peeled off the bubble wrap, took it out of the box, programmed the Display, charged up the battery, and actually got to ride it for 5 minutes this morning.

 

[dugg914]

I expected a few bumps and they were there:
-Wrong Fork (but I can live with this one)
-Wrong battery ( correct one is shipping to me now)
-Wrong headlight


Strong likes:
-Motor powerfull
-Motor integrated into frame, not sticking out
-Great color display, easy to program
-Easy to mount and dismount (26X3 tires)
-Full Suspendion
-Excellent price for the bike

It is so difficult to not hit that throttle and fly. I keep telling myself-pedal, pedal, get that exercise.

I just took my throttle off. Didn't ever use it.

Sweet bike. Did you swap out the tires or was that an option?

I'm sure it's an option. Roshan is flexible on that sort of thing..

That's exactly what this market needs: more options. I'm not talking a full customization, but personal preferences that don't require a lot of training for the non-mechanic employee to do like swapping tires or saddle. If I get a fat tire bike, I plan on putting a set of Origin Supercell or VeeTire Speedsters on once it arrives. I'd pay extra to have that done prior to shipping, and then it's ready to go once I get it.

 

[dugg914]

Yes, the tires were an option. Great ride yesterday, the full suspension a tremendous difference over the Evelo hardtail I had. I'll be back out again this morning.

 

[TForan]

Good choice on the tires. The Kendas are soooo loud.

Can't wait to see your bike with the Wren!!

 

[dugg914]

Here it is with the Wren and a couple extras I added: 20A battery, back cargo shelf, noseless seat, and handlebars raised with a MTB adjustable extension. Fun to ride even with a temperature of 92F!

 

[dugg914]

Yes, the tires are different. I blew out the back tire in less than 2 weeks by riding over large, sharp rocks. Now my wife just can't stand that the tires are different and insists that I get a tire for the front that matches the rear.

 

[TForan]

Aren't they a lot of fun on the street ? What do you end up with brakes ? I just swapped out my stock front mechanical to a four piston hydraulic and it's just what I wanted and needed. Enjoy !

 

[dugg914]

The FS comes standard with hydraulic disc brakes and I am glad it does. I've already had to make a couple power stops to not get run over by cars. And yes, I am enjoying it!

Those look like mechanical brakes. I'm I wrong ?

 

[dugg914]

Nope, you are right and I am wrong. Looks like they put mechanical rather than hydraulic brakes on it. I need to look into upgrading. Thanks!

 

[TForan]

I put a 725E on the front of mine and it really pulls it down.

 

[dugg914]

Sounds good. Where did you get the 725E? I checked the internet and could not find any for sale.

I bought it from Roshan. I just installed the front because it's a bit more complicated routing the line to the back but I found that's all I need . Greatly increased stopping power.

@dugg914 - now that you’ve had the bike a bit over a month how about an update?

I’m probably going to order one later this week, I’m trying to decide whether to upgrade to the wren fork and hydraulic brakes. I already have a CCS for commuting and this will be my winter fun toy.
