Downgrade to something more like the power that bicycles are designed to stand, or upgrade to a motorcycle and this will not happen again … with the benefits of having a throtle 🙄

If you will load the bike with the fork towards the front of the van, then the rear wheel must be tied somehow or the bike will kick like a rodeo horse 😊. With the front axle secured, its possible to tilt the rear end sideways quite a lot, making it easy to arrange for more than one bike.

Hi Lancelot. Sorry for the delay. I have found no need to fix the rear wheel at all, even after having hit a few speed bumps already. The side ways sliding rail with a front axle fixture from aliexpress works just fine, but I would add also a front-rear sliding system to adust to different fork...

I think the restriction is not because of frame stiffness, but the fact that the bottom bracket is inside the motor cage, with all the circuit boards and sensors, that turns impossible to have a sturdy BB

I agree with @Mikerb that all this hype about the "power dominance" of avinox motor has made this forum very boring. The power that any of the motors in the market actually offers, is more than enough for an assisted bike. There is no need for more power ar torque, as long as we see ebikes as...

Sometimes I ask it myself but you know, only One has the answer. If my opinion matters, I enjoy you being a Cube rider ;)

And what if... UCI or some sports entity sets a standard to a "racing ebike" category? So that every manufacturer could have an "official racing approved" model on their product line, like they do on windsurf sailing, where every racer is sailing the same board, from different brands, but with...

I can only imagine having that mercedes scratched by the pedals of my bikes :eek:

a wireless dropper is something that I keep telling myself I can live without, even though I know I can't fool myself for too long...

Thanks @Moderator, for deleting the duplicates I had posted before. @power, I do not see a ruling system as a nuclear solution, it should serve for the people that manage lands to be able to make a decision based on accountability. Because this is just what managers do: if they have no clarity...

Ooops. Sorry for the repeated pictures.

I do not have an example of trails being closed, but there are many yet to be opened to ebikes…

I bypassed Laguna last year, on a trip to Utah to ride Park City trails. Maybe ebikes are doing fine at your place, but, if you check trailforks app, looking for ebike trails in Park City, you'll get 3, search for mtb instead, and it shows hundreds... Only last year Park City opened their trails...

emtb race mode should be: motors off and batteries on place. Just one lap on an UCI course. This would really please the crowds, in between the real race categories. This would also help ebikers get a glimpse of their real athletical performance, as seen from other riders perspective.

Hans has lived in California, so I guess he can clearly foresee the trails where he rides mtb looking like the roads he rides on the way back home. Some people may think that having law enforcement, radars, face detection, plate numbers... would be nice. His question is more about having emtbs...
