    E-bike speed restrictions (agree or disagree )

    That's cool, not many people are fans of front hubs. But I wouldn't have a road oriented bike without one. I've built up three now and that particular one has been ridden from sandy beaches in Oregon to 10k in elevation on dirt in Crested Butte and pretty much everything in between. With a...

    E-bike speed restrictions (agree or disagree )

    Don't get me wrong, I wring as much as I can out of it but it doesn't feel any where near as secure as when on a moto, to me at least YMMV. My front hub 1000+w road bike will average 30mph on flattish ground until the battery dies but it requires way more attention than a moto also. I have...

    E-bike speed restrictions (agree or disagree )

    Under the letter of the federal regulations, 20mph/750w, you would be subject to the same as in the UK. However due to the Class 1,2,3 laws instituted by People for Bike, basically a lobbying tool of the manufacturers to better align with the EU laws, the waters are a bit muddy in those regards...

    Levo Gen 3 Rockin' the Mullet? Read This.

    Whenever I skim through a thread like this I am reminded of how glad I am to live in a place that no one cares what my eBikes are able to achieve speed wise and the fact that even though they can I don't.

    did you order a bike and are still waiting? what's the holdup?

    I have been eyeing a Bikes Direct Hal e bike with a M600 Bafang motor since last year about this time. Ticked all my boxes especially the cheap one @ $3k.....didn't put down as they said it would be awhile before it was made so I just kept an eye on it and subscribed to their "heads up" deal...

    Military E-Bikes - the new reality

    You would think the Military Industrial Complex could at least spring for a Full Suspension design. Frankly they have been using eBikes for years already. I saw a company called Tidal Force had a contract quite awhile ago.... But in reality they would probably be better off with something like...

    BMW i Vision AMBY

    OK, so right away warning you that this is not about an EMTB but it is e and a concept that I have considered for years....So don't bother to continue if you haven't got an open mind. eBikes have been associated with Mopeds since day 1 yet legal eBikes are nothing like Mopeds actually. True...

    Hey MX guy, Bob in Tillamook here wondering what dealer you found your bikes at? Tried the Google but no luck......I know for sure there isn't one here as there isn't even a bike shop! Thanks in advance

    My Dengfu E10 with Bafang M600

    Hello Dengfu factory, At what point will we here in the USA be able to get access to the e10 frame? As I understand it Luna Cycles made some sort of deal with you to be the sole importer? That would be ok if they seemed to be making an effort to supply the US market with your product but after...

    Raymon Bikes

    Seriously who would want an eBike named GasGas? Raymon is at least not horrible. Rebranding is real!

    New Member From Colorado

    WTB makes an i35 ASYM 26" rim that will make even a 2.3 tire puffy enough to run in the high teens psi wise. I think they make a 26" Vigilante 2.3 in fact if there are any anywhere. I use that combo for my 29" wheelset and use 15psi. Lived in CB for years, can't say i miss it all that much but...

    How far do you drive with your bike?

    As little as possible. There is an IMBA epic trail system, the WRT, 40 minutes from me I go to once in awhile and if going north I will try and hook up with my old gang and trails an hour and a bit away. I keep threatening to go to get in some high plains drifting/hot springing and who knows I...

    Bafang M500 and M600 motors

    The M600 is actually throttle-able and the reason it has been on my radar since it was introduced 3 years ago. For my own reasons I would not own an eBike without a throttle, and no it is not to preclude pedaling.....makes a very handy walk mode however that needs no secret handshake to get...

    Any movement in the Emtb Industry (is there such a thing?) toward forming an organization or joining one?

    "we need more E specific trails so we can have E specific clubs." Will there be patches and a secret handshake? How about dues, gotta have dues
