The issue I have with those charts are they don't tell you what the motors are set to in terms of assistance character or how much pedal force is being applied. I'm assuming that most e-bike motor apps have an adjustable max torque as well as the assist character. It makes a big difference in...

I work with solenoids, one with the power to overcome a spring that holds a grown human up with 170mm of travel would be a hunk of metal 😂. Probably add at least 20lbs to a bike.

Get a gym membership and start working out 😂. On the post it's totally possible, but would involve an actuator and gear system that would add quite a bit of weight.

If the battery is falling out the mount isn't set correctly, I watched a few of those as well! I didn't have to adjust mine, but I did have the top mounting bolts back out a bit and I couldn't get the battery in at a trailhead. Messed with it for a bit before I looked up into the frame and saw...

So I've been riding quite a bit the last month, my kids getting into riding! Anyway some quick notes after a year with the 801: Only 500 miles ridden, I had double carpal tunnel and cupital release surgeries in Sept/Oct because my hands kept going numb. So I wasn't riding as much as I wanted...

That's interesting EU regs separate the voltage considering AC is measured in RMS, which is the DC equivalent. If you measure it without the RMS calculation you'd be surprised how high it is! On 460vac system a non RMS measurement will be over 600volts.

Once you exceed 40 volts then OSHA regulations kick in. For work anything over 40 volts and I'm supposed to wear rubber gloves, arch flash rated shirt/pants, ear plugs, safety glasses, and helmet with arch shield.

Milage on the motor and what does the shop say has failed? What were your symptoms? Not saying it's not dead, but in my experience with warranty claims in automotive and now commercial HVAC, a lot of electronics get replaced and nothing was wrong with the said part. There's also several shops...

Late response, but if anyone is just needing a 2 bike rack, you may look for a double motorcycle carrier. They're considerably cheaper than a bike specific rack and have loads of room. Drawbacks are, it's huge, no folding option, and since it's rated for 600lbs it's pretty heavy. But in Kansas...

What's the point of a new bike if you're going to put used parts on it? Just keep the old one and use the money saved to pay for ride trips and wear items!

Aftermarket parts aren't always better than OEM. You have the "I paid x for these parts so they must be better" placebo effect.

Cleaned and greased my hub bearings, straightened both rotors, cleaned my cassette, cleaned and lubed my chain. Was going to go through my spokes but decided to ride instead!

Are there emtb's that still have a quick release? I figured everyone was a thru axle with a pinch bolt like a motorcycle.

11 months and no issues so far other than my old bones 3 bike rack. It has the two arms that stick out and I was using the old adapter from my other mountain bike, but it would pull the wires outta the display. I never really liked the plastic arms on it anyway so I got a motorcycle carrier that...

Some people are complainers and will always find something to bitch about. Personally, 160mm seems to be good enough for me. I always had xc and light trail bikes before and jumping to a fox 38mm with 160mm travel I'm satisfied for what I ride.

My specialized bike pump from 2010 does this sometimes. The part that clips onto the Schrader/Presta valves has a rubber seal in it that's gotten old and hard. More often with Schrader valves, but it doesn't fully depress the core so you build up air pressure until it pushes it's way past the...

On my N8E I don't feel a big resistance when I hit 20mph, just the lack of assistance. I've heard people complain about it, but it's really not that bad. Some people are complainers that will never be happy...

Deity 50mm riser bars cut to 740mm. I ride in the trees so prefer narrower bars, settled on 740 by cutting them narrower until I liked they way they felt. Took several rides to get them dialed.

This seems like something the guys that soak their chains in oil after every ride would be into 😂

I wanted an ep801 with at least 160mm travel, polygon had a black Friday sell and I picked up a N8e for under $4k!
