You have it backwards, ebikes are legal on BLM non motorized trails only if the local district authorizes them. They aren't legal on non motorized in Moab regardless of how many tickets you know of being handed out or not. You can certainly make the argument that no one is handing out tickets...
My assumption of the YT business model was:
1) Order bikes from Asia in Feb.
2) Ride preproduction bikes all summer, tease new product from time to time.
3) Take pre-orders, keep riding
4) Get bikes in November, stop riding.
5) Ship bikes for 3 weeks until they sell out.
6) Fatten bank...
Because motor mount configurations are not universal, and tooling for frame molds is very expensive. Going with a smaller, lesser known and less tested motor manufacturer is risky, and you’re committed to that decision for several years. It could break your company if it all goes wrong, look at...
I could see it as a training tool for either a pro, or a dentist who races masters class that wants to use it on recovery days while keeping the same feel as their race bike. Other than that, why wouldn't you buy an emtb that would be far more fun to ride? I'd rather buy an e-gravel bike than...
MTB groups are stepping back and taking a hands off approach in an attempt to divert blame from the idiots on non class 1 ebikes and other electric toys out there. I doubt they'll ever embrace emtbs for this reason.
I like these, strong well made tools. IME, some multi tools end up so small and light that they cease to be functional. Many of their chainbreakers are cute, but worthless.

Since it's your cat, why not just stick a covered litter box out there somewhere? She'd likely prefer that. Or frame up a simple wood box and throw some sand in it. You do realize that your cat is trying to train you to move the bike out of her patio? They're smart little beasts.....
Luna doesn't know much about anything about bikes afaict if you read any of their product descriptions, especially of the worst of them. Just buying stock Dengfu frames has been a step up over previous products. They tried designing their own and they were horrid. Still sold ofc. This was a...
Me too. I don't think adding a gearbox to an existing motor matters that much in appearance. I think we might start to see suspension kinematics start to mimic what we see on dirtbikes a little, but again, that won't matter to anyone.
We have been here before, for sure. I'm seeing more of...
Luna has a new controller about to be released for the m500/600which will allow custom programming, from what I understand the PAS is pretty lousy with the stock motor. It'll also provide much higher power levels if one is interested in such things....
They're going to rebadge that same frame...
