Yes, I also lost some riding "friends" when I switched to emtb. One of these was particularly nasty about it, leaving snide comments about ebikers in local forums and on strava, but I have since made new friends who are much more fun to ride with!
Very different bikes. If you were happy with the power of your SL (32nm) then you will be happy with the Fuel Exe. The Exe is one of the slowest (lowest powered) emtb emtb's on the market. Also, the ep801 motor can be updated wto allow for more customization, while the ep6 cannot be updated. I...
Hello, The mini-cube was purchased from a reputable U.S retailer that guaranteed the quality of the battery cells. I won't name the retailer, because I do believe they are honest people to work with, and I noticed that they no are no longer selling these mini-cubes. I bought two, and both had...
Hello!
Yes, the problem was resolved. It was the battery, not the Bafang motor. Those mini-cubes are junk, they work for a while, but get unbalanced. Get a quality battery, like something from EM3EV with a Smart BMS system that balances the charge level of the cells. I have had no problem...
I have totally enjoyed riding trails on my Trek Powerfly 4 HT. Trek makes an excellent aluminum frame that is more forgiving than would be expected, and it is powered by the Bosch CX motor. Of course, the spec of the bike as it is sold is not the best (I changed gears and suspension) but it...
140lbs with gear here. 28 miles, 3500ft climbing, 26% battery remaining (started at 94% charge). Used custom assist levels 5-7 (50nm-60nm). This is with the 540 wh battery on H10.
Hello,
I recently purchased a 2023 Orbea Rise H10 with the ep801 RS motor and I am looking for some feedback on what displays people are using, and whether or not you are able to see what assist mode you are in when you are in FINE TUNE MODE with 4 or more assist levels. I had set up the Orbea...
Hello,
Today I was doing some routine maintenance on my Rail 9.7 and discovered the lower IS headset cup appears to be damaged?
My headset felt smooth and I regularly checked it for play, so this was nothing that I felt. Of course, I am reaching out to my LBS for assessment, but would be...
See trek's "Red Barn" site has Rails 9.7 selling for $4225. Pretty damn good price and reasonable spec with Bosch CX gen 4 motor. The Rail is an excellent bike.
I'm a 5'7" woman and I love LOVE my medium Rail 9.7 with the 625 watt battery. I have been riding for a few years, 29" wheels feel like cheating about as much as having a motor. The 625 watt battery is plenty large for 20 mile rides with 2-3000ft climbing (on emtb mode). I would add tho, that...
Hello,
Yes, Isis fits, and I am glad you responded to this because I forgot that I had posted this. I did end up purchasing the lekkie cranks for my CYC motor, installed them in to my x1 Stealth, which was installed on a Surly grappler frameset with a 73mm bottom bracket, and the q-factor with...
Yes! Absolutely! Going up I get a nice aerobic workout but I have noticed that on descending my heart rate goes anaerobic! (I'm 55 so for me this means 160-180) Partly coz I am going so much faster now than ever before and also maybe due to controlling the heavier bike. --as for the...
Since I have started riding my Rail 9.7 - both my fitness and skills have increased considerably due to the fact that I will repeat and repeat and repeat technical trails that in my previous "analog" days, I was too tired to repeat after just one ride. Also, wear a heart rate monitor and you...
Hello,
Recently purchased a CYC Motor Stealth V3 with the Isis splined cranks. Need to replace the stock cranks as my driveside crank came loose and cannot be tightened sufficiently. Has anyone installed the Isis splined Lekkie Cranks that electrify bike sells as an upgrade for the CYC motors...
I have owned Bosch, bafang, TSDZ2 and just acquired a CYC Stealth Gen 3. The TSDZ2 rIDes very similarly to the Bosch, but it is just not intended to be a performance motor as it overheats very easily - I am only 130lbs and pretty athletic (I set my motors to just help me feel younger and
super...
