    How long will your EMTB last you?

    I bought the first front wheel drive from Toyota years ago. It never had any issue. They sold it when they knew how to build it. When Yamaha built that 2017 they knew how to build it. I bought it in dec. 2018 and i asked before buying. No Kool-Aid was involved.

    I am very low on the knowledge side of tech stuff etc... Just my view with 61 years on this planet. 45 years ago i got a moped the brand was Mobylette the other brand popular in Quebec was velo solex. They were kind of small motorcycles the cathegory was under 50cc. So at 16 years old there was...

    Battery, is this truth or fallacy?

    I started Ebiking a few months ago so i read to learn. I remember reading that fully charging our battery than fully discharging it is a positive thing we should do. Not all the time but after a while a battery has less capacity than when it was new. If i understand correctly it is about...

    The question is.... is he buying Shitmano? Is he over the 333 kilos limit? Will he buy a reliable brand to get over 3,800 kms on 1 engine?

    What makes me mad is we can be sure these managers and top guys get bonuses and riders get the problems while they pocket huge retiment benefits. Many are afraid of using their Ebikes not knowing at what time, what place the next problem will hit. There should be huge class actions and they...

    It is obvious the margins are higher. But i cannot say if the excess goes to the manufacturers, the retailers or some split. Also part of the larger income is invested in marketing, BS, Kool-Aid, so not all profit they try to acquire market shares. Do a few searches you will feel the russian did...

    How long will your EMTB last you?

    What i see is big income is partly at the cost of the car industry. Some home will have a car + 2 Ebikes instead of 2. The car business will react. People in power tend to keep it or at least do all they can to keep it, even increase it. GM or Toyota could buy a bike company give one with every...

    Ya but i bet many are commuters/city ones not our toys. Their earnings i guess include over 100 brands not just the Giant sticker. In north america it is just starting but india and many places they use bikes and motorbikes.

    If the car business was not controlling politicians there would not be thousand of dollars subvention for 1 Ecar with the same parking problems, with the same traffic jam problems. We all could get 600$US rebate/subvention when buying an Ebike.

    Hi people

    JetSetD and i see it pretty much the same. Being a light rider any brakes works for me and i avoid upgrades generaly. I like to buy used, here the sales taxes = 15% on new, but no used available yet with Ebikes so i found an unsold 2017 in dec 2018. The 500 Wh is enough for my use.

    Sometimes it is the personality. Some are realy part of group A, the doers. At 65 they still focus on that. Some are realy part of group B, not that much focussed on that. Obviously some are more in the middle. When you ask around for help to move or trail maintenance allways the same are...

    Hi people

    Giants are Yamaha with a twist. I am lucky i am full Yamaha. In Quebec still many say when my knees are real bad or a version of that so i rarely see any Ebike live. The showrooms have many Shimano. Now that i have a better idea about Ebikes i will try to test them all because finally it is a...

    I feel for you with issues. My bike chain picked up a big branch about 6 days ago. It was a long time with my bike in the shop using an other but i prefer my main bike. I just had my first ride and it was sweet. I am glad to be Eriding.
