Looks like it needs a bit more Finnish work.

Doesn't do well in my preferred categories 60+ lb eBikes are barely suitable for road use, ala Stromer and if you have ever tried to heft one of those you'll know what I mean, much less trail use. I still can't figure out where Haibike is going with the Flyon.... And that quick charger...

I had some old CK hubs that were 36h and finding 36h tubeless rims was a chore at the time so I got some ChiBon rims, i35, one 700c and the other 650b. Built them up and within a hundred miles one of the nipples on the 650b rear started to look like it was going to pull through with stress...

It's funny that with PB I skim the content and read more of the comments.....

Although I have ridden primarily mtb's since 1980 and e bikes since 2001 it wasn't until 3 years ago that I put together my first eMTB. All my other efforts have been towards alternative personal transportation using e assist methods. My 750w torque assist PAS eMTB is able to attain speeds up...

Serious effort underway here in Oregon since last fall to not allow the PFB/BPSA legislation and keep the laws that have been in effect here for over 20 years. This excerpt from a group email: I have to say that now that I better understand the full potential effect of the People For Bike legal...

Just get one of these type and be done with it: Sell Well New Type Lithium Battery 48v 15.6ah Folding Ebike Battery - Buy Ebike Battery,Ebike Lithium Battery 48v 30ah,Ebike Conversion Kit Battery Product on Alibaba.com 48v, safe chemistry, easy to fit on the bike and will last for quite awhile.

"Pizzi should instead lobby for a new emtb class that mirrors our EU friends" That is exactly what Class 1 is. PAS only with a wattage limit and speed limit, albeit more inline with our long standing Federal Regulations as administered by the Consumer Products Safety Commission. The idea as...

That guy got what he obviously deserved and perhaps less even. However attached to that article was this: E-bike crash death prompts debate over safety on UK roads Which hits a little closer to home in regards to this forum but points to the fact that it really isn't about the bike, it's...

Fixed gear, or sometimes known as the "Velo Llama". A set of Hakkapeliittas makes one harder to skid but makes a great winter bike. In this form with the flat bars they are also known as "Scorchers" A friend of mine in CO could rip single track on a bike like this.

My cycling background is well rooted in mtb and I am more than happy to pedal but my primary two wheeled road use has been based on motorcycles over the years and when I decided to put together an eRoad bike I was looking for the best of both worlds. My last moto was a KTM SXC625 that I was...

In the e-Zesty thread it started to drift off into the use of the Fazua system for drop bar bikes. Obviously this segment of the eBike market is coming on strong and there are several different takes on the motor systems, whether a hub drive or mid drive, that are appearing on the different...

That helps to clear that up. It would seem to benefit them to go with a 21700 cell battery @ 4900mah however? As far as range goes even 850wh at the potential 30wh/mi+ the bike will be zapping at 2000w +/- will be around 30 miles. I suppose enough for a good time and a spare battery can be kept...

Looks like the same type used with the Cyclone kits that however use a freewheeling crankset and feed into the drivetrain which as 1500-3000w can eat drives in a hurry. The above has a 6:1 reduction and is a brushless motor. It is interesting that this bike uses a separate chain line and...

As one of the other mtb oriented posters on the EBR board I think you will find the folks here mostly interested in the quality of the bikes and gear and knowledgeable more than on US sites because they actually use eMTB's as they are intended. Not a lot of trail access chatter here because it...

Actually it very well could have something to do with BMZ. The fact that it uses LG cells, which BMZ is heavily aligned with LG, and the fact that it is made in China where BMZ has one of the largest battery manufacturing facilities at this time. Derby GMBH is just another branch of PON...

"but the case was distinctly damp inside, case very well sealed," Simple condensation issue due to atmospheric conditions. When the battery heats up during use and then cools down some moisture will occur, albeit a relatively small amount, that will build up inside the casing over time...

"I keep my eyes open for rangers. Most of the time I have ample warning to wearthey are on the trails, because we don’t have any tree cover. You see them on other ridgelines, in the valleys and closer to the entrances to the parks. They are not hard to spot, because they have white pick up...

Having started mtb riding in 1985 there weren't any designated trails. We ended up using old moto trails and game trails and whatever we could find to get lost on for awhile. In the course of those adventures we would run across downed logs etc. and either decide to move them out of the way or...

If you bought it locally it would seem odd that the shop didn't hip you to that fact. As the old saying goes, if they outlaw eBikes only outlaws will ride eBikes.
