    Vitus E-Mythique LT Enduro EMTB - Bargain of the year

    "If there's negatives, I do notice it not having voltage compensation as the battery drains (if you see any tests on this bike, it's significantly faster fully charged)" I addressed this issue in another thread earlier and the only way that it seems possible to have "voltage compensation" is to...

    Dengfu E55 (Emtb) and E56 (Fat Bike) - New selection of DIY frame

    I have a UART 52v M620 that also will work with a 48v battery I have. Both made with high grade 2170 cells. Hot off the charger for sure they exhibit great power but at around 30% they start to run down fast. Upping the assist level just makes them deplete even faster and it is best to be on the...

    Hello, new user / Pole K0 faled in love to...

    Although i don't think that I have any info that would further the OP's seemingly already somewhat extensive eBike knowledge and suspension tuning abilities as a grandfather-aged DIY type person with Finnish lineage I fully approve of her mission to seek out others that can. Welcome aboard!

    DH World Cup thread

    Televised sports can't exist without major sponships. Riders at top level need sponsors. Sponsors can't exist without customers. Can potential customers customers support a WC DH series to watch from the comfort of their own home? Does it inspire them to go out on Monday and buy the products...

    Bafang M560

    What would Frey charge you for an M560? It is the newest version and seems to have more input connectivity?

    DH World Cup thread

    It has gotten now to the point where there is almost too much to unpack regarding the World Cup DH scene? The weather and UCI's knee jerk reactions notwithstanding. The juniors got screwed and should have gone Sunday in place of the semi finals IMHO. That US rider that got screwed at the sign in...

    Dengfu E22 Frame Thread

    "I'd ditch the 27plus tyres, and fit a regular 29/2.4 or so. Those 27plus tyres might be getting up around the same diameter as a 29. But they will squish in a heap more unless you run ridiculous pressures or baby it around the trails. And that may reduce your ride height at crucial times...

    Looking for a New eMTB: Enduro Options and SRAM Eagle Transmission

    Just get the bike you like/can afford with a UDH and figure on spending an extra $1500 for a SRAM transmission groupo and you could even sell on the stock drivetrain to defray the cost somewhat? Lots of options that way.

    DH World Cup thread

    Just got done watching the DH here and as mentioned weather once again a factor. Like #lazy says it's an outdoor sport and Mother Nature can be a cruel mistress. All the unsurity of the schedule didn't help any either. I thought the Dean Lucas YT with Eddie Masters did a decent job of pointing...

    28 mph out of the EP801

    The whole "28mph" designation is a bit of a misnomer because without a gear ratio that allows for attaining that speed, on level ground, as a base, it will not be attainable anyway except when there is some gravity involved. Certainly not on any sort of uphill gradient. I have a Bafang M620...

    My picking setup is a modified gallon jug with a strap that goes around my neck and a thick glove on my left hand to be able to move the brambles around to get to the berries when necessary.

    Actually my picking spots are certified dust and herbicide free. I don't even wash them before freezing them on a sheet pan like this. Then I put them in a gallon zip lock and then vacuum pack that. A bag will last all year in the freezer.

    It's me competing with the Bears down here. I almost stopped and took a pic of a blackberry bear poo on the road the other day.
