Yea… as a guy who’s got 10 high power LiPo powered RC cars and 6 450 size or larger RC helicopters, I’ve got some LiPo battery experience. Oh, I’m in the robotics field too… All that qualification aside, I agree. Take some random internet strangers thoughts with large grains of salt. I disagree...

Actually, I think it was the leaf but doesn’t matter…

Great info. My experience is particular to park city and the Bolt or Volt so I guess it’s not apples to apples. My ex-in-laws had one and literally driving 4 miles into PC we’d loose 50% battery with temps in the single digits. Good to know Tesla is ahead of this curve, substantially.

I’d love an EV, but as someone who skis ⛷️ I’ve seen first hand how battery capacity is killed by cold winter mountain area temperatures.

Hence some of the the anxiety of buying used. Add to that the tech is improving rapidly, batteries have limited life and a LOT of battery 🪫 🔋 degradation is caused by poor charging and storage habits, one has to assume the battery is close to EOL.

2700 miles…. Yea, I’d run from that… maybe 25% if I saw the bike. I’d expect a couple thousand in repairs really soon and with the new 7, gen 2 selling for $5k, it’s a hard proposition, isn’t it?

Getting back on topic, maybe 🤣, I’d like to learn more about the pre-owned EMTB valuations/listing prices and sales prices. Without positively knowing the history of let’s say a Trek 9.8, let’s say 2-3 years old and 500-1000 miles (or maybe 2k mi?), what % below new selling prices is the bike...

Around here it gets cold in the winters often and e- vehicles absolutely suck on range when the temps get to single digits Fahrenheit

Dude, I’ve lived in Europe. I get all that. But what specific to emtb are you saying? Are UK (or EU) used prices as high as in the USA? Who in their right mind would take a risk on some internet stranger to save 10-20% off of a new, warranted bIke from a dealer? US electric rates are NOT as...

How so? Explain please.

Pink bike seems nutty pricing. Everyone is listing 2500 mile bikes at 2/3 of Murphey while discounts on new bikes are abundant. It just really seems insane to spend more than 1/2 price on a 500 ish miles used emtb and maybe 30% or less on something that’s got over 2000 miles? New with...

Thank you!

Thanks!

Kids out of the house, downsized to a condo, old but not quite dead yet looking to get into EMTB to save my legs! 😂 Coming off a specalized expert road bike and a Specalized Expert StumpJumper. Still have both with clip in’s… Paralysis by analysis here looking to make the plunge. Looking at...
