I would try Googling around on the shocks that come with each bike and how they handle heavier riders. Most of the air shocks i see on eBike are built for action. Look for an air shock with a reservoir - that is usually a good indication that it can handle more action.
Also, look at bikes...
I would look at any bike you want and just make sure the air shock or coil shock can be set up for your weight.
Most ebikes are over-built to be hard charging all mountain or enduro machines that can be jumped or dropped off some pretty sizeable stuff... and as long as you don't go nuts, the...
Keep an eye out on KMC, they should be releasing an even beefier eBike specific chain in the coming months that's said to be stronger than any other chains on the market currently.
Both would be nice to see. I definitely feel like the Kenevo fills a niche that very few other bikes fill, so keeping 180/180 or going 180/200 with a 200/200 option would be nice to see.
Ok, something must have been acting up on my bike or i was just drunk. Went out yesterday evening and rode no-handed with ease. Before, it seemed like the torque from the motor was uneven and "jumpy"
Something as simple as riding no handed I've found takes a bit more intuition with a motor. I'm wondering what motor people have and how they've found riding no handed easy or not easy. Give it a try next time you're out if you haven't. Haha
Cell phones are the same way. It's up to the end user to *know* to only charge to 80% and let it fall to no less than 20% to maximize the health of the battery cells. They make money selling $1000 phones that are slippery so they fall out of your hand, need a replacement screen, and the...
LiFe *ideally* likes a charge up to 80% and a discharge down to about 20% for maximum lifespan (total number of charges and discharges in the batteries lifespan) I personally charge to 100% right before I head out or the night before though but try not to go lower than 20%
I'm guessing there...
No... This was only true of Nicad batteries, where you had to cycle them
LiFe batteries, which we now use, have a BMS (battery management system) to keep cell voltages balanced to maintain a healthy battery pack.
The idea of cycling Nicad batteries and fully draining them every once in awhile...
I prefer the feel and ride quality of Ti... that "magic" springiness that people talk about. Once i hit rough pavement or gravel, the Ti really shines - IMO.
My Ti road bike has custom formed seat and chainstay and is really an efficient pedaler, not the wet noodle some Ti bikes are. I think...
Not sure if you're looking for a custom frame bag but www.bike-bag.co.uk made a bag for my DIY ebike for £67.50 - i'd recommend him if budget and custom is at the top of your list. He can also do custom embroidery on the bags too.
Now that 10k is "normal" spending for an eBike, i bet someone in China could find a way to make it economically viable to produce a tube. I know you can get 50mm downtubes from China currently... but maybe it's wishful thinking...
