    When will someone put out a 52v emtb

    fine maybe 3kw is too much to expect on an emtb but something like this at 1.6kw i think would be the sort of drive unit i would like to see on a proper emtb. and an easily hot swapable battery so you can have 2 batteries and not need to weigh it down too much in the quest for range. these emtbs...

    When will someone put out a 52v emtb

    no i want an emtb with like 3 kW. i have a 72v surron with 15kw and its awesome but its still not an emtb, it weighs like 125 pounds. what i dont get is all the crap ebikes they are putting out have more power than these expensive emtbs that are good for actual mountain biking. i really think...

    When will someone put out a 52v emtb

    The whole emtb category is just so stagnant now imo. All the other ebikes categories are pushing the envelope of the technology and emtbs are stuck with these low power assist only drivetrains that also greatly limit the speed. Its really sort of sad because the other segments of ebikes just do...

    Review SRAM HS2 220mm Disc

    yep 220s on mtb and ebikes are not worth it, i very much agree. 203s on my ebike and dh bike are perfect. i am only running 220s on my surron, that is something that needs it since its using mtb brakes for what is essentially a moto

    Review SRAM HS2 220mm Disc

    Fork is bomber 58. Brake caliper is XT 8120. Using 203 to 220 shimano adaptor ESMMAF220PPL. The rotor is the 220 sram hs2. The issue I am encountering is that the rotor does not sit quite deep enough into the caliper and there is a small lip of brake pad at the periphery which is not engaging...

    after market ebike motors

    i think im going to hold out for the 5000w cyc gen 3 and do a build on that the more i research. i kinda want the surron like experience but with less than half the weight. im sure the range at power will be pretty dismal but im suspecting i can ride it at low power if i want to do a decent...

    after market ebike motors

    cracking the speed limit is nothing, there are kinds of devices for that already. they need to crack the power, free these motors up so we can use them how we want. im not worried about the warranty, i just get a new motor if need be. but yeah it prolly wont happen so i guess i will just do a...

    after market ebike motors

    what might even be better is if someone could crack the firmware on these motors so we could set the tune higher, the motors are no doubt capable of pushing more watts. i am actually surprised we havent seen this yet, like how they crack the iphone software. that way you want range u leave it in...

    after market ebike motors

    does anyone make aftermarket ebike motors with more power that can be fitted to existing bosch or shimano frames? i think i saw someone doing that a while ago at some point but i dont see it anywhere on the internet now that i can find. i would like to upgrade my ebike to get some real power...

    CYC Stealth Downhill Build - Need Ideas/Advice for Battery

    i want to do something like this with an enduro bike. i am not at all interested in a backpack solution and just want to turn a nice enduro bike in to cyc motor ebike. i just want more power than all these low power stock systems deliver that are handicapped by legislation.

    2024 Strive:ON

    I am interested to hear how people get along with size on this. I am 183 and am also considering downsizing to medium. I do wonder about it though, the seattube will be quite short and I dunno if it will need high rise bars or what. The bike is not out in US so I will have some time to see how...
