    Your preconceived reasons for choosing an emtb?

    I just wanted to go on longer rides, be able to make it through rides and up hills without having to stop, and to be able to keep up with my mates! So far the experiment has been 100% successful.

    Broke my rear wheel, shear off the disc mount.

    Did you manage to stop?

    STUnlocker (ex Shimano STEPS Unlocker) Android & Windows App for derestriction/market change and etc

    I don't think it effects the power output, just the top speed.

    STUnlocker Android App for Shimano motors is available

    Seems that way, but how do you prove the facts? Anyone could say they had a motor replaced and ask for a new license and then use it on a second bike.

    Staying hydrated

    I believe it's a reference to the movie "Papillon."

    Staying hydrated

    Ditto on jersey pockets. On most of my rides I use them for water, phone and keys. On longer ride I go with a Camelbak and more tools and supplies.

    Answered Could you win a Tour de France time trial?

    Just as I am passed by the occasional push-bike on the trail. Fortunately I didn't buy my ebike to win races, but to enjoy riding more, and to enjoy more riding.

    But "average" doesn't win.

    eMTB AUX Power port ?

    What kind of 48v accessories? My Shimano has a 36v battery, anyway, if I'm not mistaken.

    eMTB AUX Power port ?

    Ditto, I just have a couple of $30 lights from Amazon and they're still going strong after several years. I don't need an expensive light that only works with a Shimano system. Would still need a battery for the helmet light, anyway.

    How much is my bike worth?

    It's worth whatever someone is willing to pay. I believe there is a bicycle "blue book" out there on the net.

    eMTB AUX Power port ?

    I believe there is an optional wiring harness for Shimano systems, but I don't know which lights it works with. I would rather have the Canyon's USB port, though, if given the choice.

    Trek Rail Paint Issues

    A friend's new Trek had the shittiest paint job. I transported it with my own much older Trek on the same rack and the bar that touches the top tube rubbed through the paint in just a few trips. Same rack never affected the finish on my bike in 5 years.

    Anyone know how I can remove the need for a key, to remove the battery?

    When I took my first van camping trip to Florida last year I accidentally locked my keys, and my dog, in the van at a gas station. When I took a 5-week cross-country trip last spring I word a spare key on a string around my neck 24/7. You could do the same with your battery key.

    Anyone know how I can remove the need for a key, to remove the battery?

    If it's a downhill bike park just leave the battery behind, or rent a bike.

    Brainstorming thread - have a biking idea? Share it here!

    You think by now they could have come up with a good solid Tire. Nice and light and no air or inserts needed. Did I mention durable? And cheap?

    That IS thinking outside the box. How about on: the-fly tire pressure adjustment, top? (Thanks Doddy)

    eMTB Charging with the Jackery 1000

    I took advantage of the recent sale and ordered a Jackery 1000, which came yesterday. I was looking for a solution for charging my eBike on road trips, as well as general charging and powering other small devices. Looks like the Jackery is going to be a pip! Here's a link to the video I made...
