Alright, I've been done with this project for a while, but it took me this long to edit the video and upload. I documented this entire procedure from start to finish. If you're curious, check it out:

I don’t ride religiously or anything, but I have 500 miles on my 2015 felt dual-e. I just upgraded to 11 speed replacing the cassette, chain, shifter, derailleur, and chain ring for about $270, not including tooling costs. My drivetrain is completely refreshed. The Gen 2 Bosch motor should last...

Sorry for the delay in responding. I bought a dedicated carbon non electric mountain bike and I wasn’t sure if I still wanted to improve the gearing on this emtb. Then my kids wanted to ride with me and commented on having to use electric assist on the trails to keep up. Ha. So I guess I’ll do...

I did some more research today. Apparently you can only shove an 11 or 12 speed cassette onto a 10 speed hub if you change the hub out in most cases. My wheels are Easton Vice XLTs with X4 hubs. I don’t think they are 11 speed compatible, much less 12, but I’ve emailed the manufacturer to find...

Can I use that with my existing derailleur (cassette and chain only) or do I need a new group set?

I'm not sure why anyone would want higher gearing on an e mountain bike. If you use the bike like a real mountain bike and run out of juice, you're walking without the lower gearing. Just seems like a bad plan. Sometimes I just want to work up a sweat exercising and don't need the motor for...

I totally appreciate the feedback. I've never noticed significant drag from the motor at low speeds with the motor off, but then again I also have that 15t * 2.5 * 36t gearing so it isn't all that low, and I don't have a regular mountain bike for comparison. I'll take your word for it...

No, I'm pretty sure it's a 10 speed currently with a 15t front chainring and an 11-36t rear cassette. One of the reasons why I am asking this here is because I'm not sure if an 11 speed cassette will fit my frame. My understanding is that usually there will be a spacer if the frame was designed...

I have an older Felt Dual-e. I think I bought it back in 2015. It is a gen2 Bosch mid drive and has about 500 miles on the OD. One of the things that bugged me about it from day one was how high the gearing was. Here's this thing that was supposed to be an electric assist mountain bike, but it...
