I do not know but maybe the fact i am more flexible than average or my long legs let me move. At a demo i tried one, it felt good but i never miss having one.
I am sorry. I think you understand Yamaha is kind of open. What failed was Giant electronic. Mine is all Yamaha a Haibike 2017. All good sofar at 2,828km. In Canada Giant offers good support. I find Giant chainstay too long for where i ride and my style but i read many riders are happy.
I am not the envy guy, i appreciate simplicity. Just reading many Specialized Ebikes do not last long without upgrades. I ride a HT, no dropper, 500 Wh nothing fancy just what works for what i do.
That is it, knowing what we need/like. I am 60 kilos so sure i like climbing. All my bikes are geared to climb. I never used a 10S 11-46 so i do not recommand it but a rider told me he liked it.
It is simple their $$ go in publicity and we see many feeling the need to upgrade. I prefer when they sell value and rely on word of mouth to get sales. Here in Canada we have an outdoor coop with tons of members. We are all telling our family members, coworkers to go benefit of the low prices.
About the 8 options you better try it. I read some do like and some hate the gaps. Personaly i ride in all places so i like an 11-42 10 speeds. I need less double shifts than an 11. By not going as low as a 46 or 50 it picks up less branches. Depending on your area, tire size, etc... probably a...
A battery should be recharged not too cold(i have minus 40 in Canada) and not too hot, so i guess it depends where you live. I wrote them on that topic on their facebook page. Also if you travel will there be an outlet where you need it? I kind of remember reading it from their website and also...
Are you looking at the VLT 1 or 2? I demoed it 1 hr on small and 1 hr on med. Do you mean when you reach the legal max(32 kmh where i live). I was on unknowned trails so i never reached the max but it is Shimano so i can say like other Shimano(i hope that helps). I realy enjoyed how much it is...
I never rode those bikes so i am not commenting on those. Mine is Haibike with Yamaha 500 Wh and at 2,800 kms = 0 problem. The motor being new might have bugs just look at Specialized and Shimano those are not reliable. I never run my battery empty and i often ride over 4 hrs. I know i would...
Thanks but 460 CS is my max and 51 pounds is my max so i hope they offer a different model to Canadians because i have a Yamaha and love it. An Efatbike is on my shoping list, please santa
I will read that. Puting all that money on something unproven?
I am glad my Ebike has wide rims and tires. I focus on range and traction.
And reliabilty is on my top list.
For safety reasons i never have a lock in the trails. It is a weapon waiting to hurt someone, often the rider. Where i enter the trails i will lock it then take it back when i exit.
Injuries happen on the last run. You might say this is obvious, an injury ends my day.
35 years ago i was a ski patroller and that saying meant be on the slopes we will need you. This is not the time after 3pm to take a brake. People get tired they get injured. Stats were overwhelming most of...
