    New Bosch SX Super Light motor launched

    I do not trust any 250 battery. We all know the last 1/4 is wayyy less than 1/3 of the top 75%. It all depends how smart the system really is. Any one is happy from a 250watts after 2 years?? I know 400watts is not enough to deal with real cold and snow/ice. What is the total price with the 2...

    10 speed groupset

    The idea with a 9 or 10 speeds is you have the benefit of less shifting. I rarely use the 11T so i use 9 speeds. I only need 8 shifts to go over my range. There is no good reason to copy a regular bike for an electric assisted bike. The 12S is crazy in my mind. It is just to ask 8,000 to...

    Reign Yamaha motor, maintenance?

    I suggest you avoid pedal stikes and do not wash any Ebike, just wipe off the excess. Those things might create problems.

    Selling an emtb - no warranty

    Here there is a buying season and a selling season. It depends some bikes/ebikes have a good reputation and they are easier to sell.

    Paying for your EBike

    I always pay cash. I only paid 4,000$ for a new Giant Stance. I do not plan on paying over 6,000$ for any bike.

    Ebike suggestion

    Giant tends to offer value so look at some built in your budget. You want to stay away from light Ebikes.

    Convert 29er to 27.5?

    I guess if you are into going down very fast it might feel like you have less control but it does not attrack me. It allows me to pass others much easier and i avoid trees in some snowshoes trails where trees are closer than 760.

    Convert 29er to 27.5?

    I kind of enjoy having 2 bikes. A HT 20 pounds, 120mm on 29, it is short. My Ebike is also 29, FS 130/120 obviously not as short. It is a Giant/Yamaha and the rear is kind of long. I simply went from 740 to 720, 700, 680, 620, 600. Every few months i did cut after testing with my brakes a little...

    Convert 29er to 27.5?

    What we read and listen to is mainly general stuff but we are unique. If we are average others might help us but we might have to be curious and try different options. I am 5feet11 and i love small frame bikes/Ebikes. I simply modify them raising the saddle and the bar. It is cheap and i can...

    Convert 29er to 27.5?

    You might be far from average. Your legs are probably on the short side. Like me you can probably only select a bike by trying it. How tall we are is the wrong way to select frame size. If you are short LIV might be an option. Their 29 wheels are 27.5 for their smallest frame. This is just an...

    Convert 29er to 27.5?

    Where i ride i enjoy a high bike/Ebike. This is looking for troubles lower most Emountain bikes. Maybe you can switch to a longuer fork to compensate but switching Ebike is worth considering.

    Buyer beware! What should you consider when buying second hand?

    Bikes should not be washed and Ebikes should never be washed. Do not buy a clean Ebike. Select a brand you trust and with a good retailer close to you. Buy off season to get a decent price. Go for a HT if you are on a budget.

    In my area we are some riders who enjoy a Maxxis DHF for rear use. Good rolling with good grip.
