I won't post my whole response, but one thing I said: I respectfully request one modification to the proposed changes -- that electric bicycles be removed from the definition of “motor vehicle” and considered to be a non-motorized use. FSM 7700 defines a Motor Vehicle as "Any vehicle which is...

Where I ride, there usually isn't cell coverage. I use a Garmin Inreach.

BLM has proposed 40 miles of new trails near Helena, including ebikes. They are open for comments. Go here and say something: https://eplanning.blm.gov/eplanning-ui/project/102446/510 If you need to get motivated, see what the greenies have to say about it: BLM pushes illegal motorized...

I noticed that now they've gone with smaller tires on the 2020 and 21 bikes, 2.5 and 2.4. I wonder why?

They've gone down in tire width, to 2.4 inch?? I wonder why,? I like my 2.6's and thinking about going up to 2.8. Sorry for the english units :)

Kept it. I still ride both.

I just shift while it's walking. I'm usually up a few gears already because when I have to walk it's because of a very technical trail & I usually try to ride something technical in about 3rd gear.

Mine are 2018/19 27.5 with the external battery.

I've been using a dropper post for quite a few years now, & would never go back. I was reluctant, but was convinced when my wife got one and all of a sudden she was keeping up with me instead of lagging behind on the downhills.

You were able to get them shipped to the US from BikeDiscount.de?

If you're outside and keeping some distance apart the risk is really low.

What is a pedal assist bike called in your country? Is pedelec a common term? I only ask because of this: https://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Proposed_features/ElectricBicycles

I think an interesting race is one which would tap out the battery and the rider. 3 or 4 hrs long so you'd have to economise with the assist. As far as cheating, for most bikes you can tell by inspection what battery they have. You could also have a calibrated charge after the race if there...

eco - medium. That works well for most of the time on most of my rides. trail - medium. This works for most climbs which are too hard for eco (or I'm feeling tired or lazy). boost - low. I find it hard to control on a technical climb if boost is on medium or high. Bike: Commencal with E8000...

I've had 29x 2.5 DHF minions on the front of our unassist bikes & a 2.6 on the rear of the meta power, no issues & quite a bit of miles on them.

I have this written down someplace, but can't find it, but I think it was about 40 minutes for each bar until the last one, which takes about 60 minutes. I have an external battery.

Anybody tried something larger than 2.6 on the rear? I'm thinking of trying a 2.8 Minion DHR, but guy at Commencal did not recommend it, he thought it might be too big.

Cyclopath, the battery should last longer than 2 yrs. I get a lot more than that out of a cell phone battery. Don't leave it charged at 100%.

You can't get this info from the phone app can you?

I've seen this mentioned here and there, but I think it deserves more attention. The batteries on both of our Commencals are a little loose. I thought it was normal & I didn't pay too much attention until my wife's bike died twice, temporarily. The tech at Commencal suggested adjusting the...
