    Hyper Full Suspension Mid-Drive eMTB value bike

    I've got 2.3" Minions and there's maybe 1/4" space to the swingarm. So...starting to get tight.

    Moab Utah USA: Local BLM requests comments about a proposal for Allowing E-bike Use

    Have they banned motorcycles from the Slickrock Trail? I used to ride mine there before MTBs were even much of a thing. And Porcupine Rim. And 5 Miles of Hell. Etc., etc., etc. I also rode out there on my 1989? Specialized Hard Rock MTB. No suspension. And my motorcycle was a 1978 Bultaco...

    Risk of battery fire?

    I charge and store mine in my Weber grill. And I have a warm, fireproof place to store them during freezing temperatures. Ya never know.

    What mudguards are you using?

    Just a note about MudHugger (USA). The rear fender extension that protects the bottom bracket just snaps onto the main fender. I didn't have a lot of confidence in that connection. Sure enough, it finally fell off somewhere on my last ride. I emailed to let them know. They replied in @ 10...

    I went to 152 (different bike) and barely noticed a difference except for less pedal strikes.

    Charging station

    Yes. You just need to buy the correct voltage charger and wire the Bosch or Brose connector onto the charger.

    Charging station

    I come from the R/C world too and am used to having control over charge rates, etc. I imagine there's other brands but I got this charger (see link) and am very happy with it. I usually charge at 1A and to 80% unless the need for fast charging and 100% capacity arises. And I try to leave my...

    Charging station

    I'm surprised that most? of you are using the basic chargers that came with your bikes. It is known that charging slowly and only charging to 80% (when practical) will greatly extend the life span of your battery. Most of my rides allow for this practice. (ymmv) I only used my OEM charger once...

    Full Face - When do you decide to wear one?

    That looks like it saved you a bunch of pain, or worse. The downhill near my house is steep and mostly big rocks. I don't bomb it. Hell, there's a couple sections that I walk when I'm not feeling confident. I have had one wreck in the rocks and rode away with some pain and minor bleeding. I got...

    Best full suspension £3500-£4000

    If I was shopping in that price range I'd have a look at the Bulls Copperheads. I have no experience with them but am tempted to grab one.

    Dual air shock setup?

    The manual for the shock I bought suggests 135 psi in the + chamber and 65 psi in the - chamber as a starting point for my weight. I went with that and just had to drop to 125 psi in the + to get the sag correct. I didn't change the - pressure. I've read some posts of folks preferring the...

    Ebike Recommendations for off-road travel in sand/mud

    You probably won't get many opinions here as this site focuses on mountain biking. Fwiw, it sounds to me like you'd want a fat tire cargo bike. Maybe you'll find more advice here? eCargo Bikes

    Vinka motors

    I'm on the FB group. It's getting pretty active. Good to see. I'm happy with the E20, and I have a spare. I don't have anything to compare it to. I don't know anything about the E21 but interested to hear you results if you try one.
