I wont buy YT. They actually did try to stiff me on parts order and I had to ask credit card to claw it back. I dont love commencal they seem rough build quality to me. The propain has the problem all propains have with that shock design is long seattube legths. An orbea wild I didnt know that...

I was all hyped to get an avinox enduro bike this season to replace my old clapped emtb, like really blow a nice chunk of money. But I dont feel like there is anything worth it in the US for the enduro segment. The mondraker, I dont really care for the shock through the seattube like that...

should easily run a 210 dropper. the bike is ok i guess but its not enough to make me want to spend the money. its basically the same frame with the same constraints as the original. they no doubt will have an enduro offering in the future, but i guess not this season. the mondraker looks...

i am disappointed by these new amflow offerings. the same poor frame design with clevis shock, limited dropper length and long seattube. why didnt they bring a real enduro bike with a 65mm stroke rear shock and a better frame design? i guess the one good thing is i wont have to spend a bunch of...

is it in fact true that u can use a phone vpn to simply set the dji system to new zealand location? if yes will it just hold that setting? does the system have a gps within it that it can use to determine its location on its own?

The restriction is mandatory from the government. There is nothing they can do about having that in place. What they can control is not putting difficult to defeat antitamper on the motor and allowing it to be easily derestricted. I wont buy an ebike that cant be derestricted and hopefully this...

this is the first system that actually makes me want to upgrade my cx4 non smart ebike. one thing they need to do is not put heavy anti tamper software on it so it can be derestricted easily. imagine a 45 pound 800 watt derestricted emtb with all that power. they cant release it to north america...

update on the motor. electrically it totally recovered. but bearings were indeed damaged by water ingress i believe and motor developed a loud clicking within a couple rides. about 8 months out of warranty took it in and bosch sent out a replacement motor at no charge. lot better than paying to...

hmm yeah i guess its not for me then. i really just ride winch up and plunge down style trails so i want something to shuttle me up fast as possible with minimal effort. its a shame they dont have a firmware setting to allow that since they are so proud having the biggest torque number

can you set the motor to deliver high power at low cadence in the ludicrous mode? i want something that i can soft pedal and get boosted up the hill faster than my current bosch. can the dyname 4.0 be set to do that? how has the reliability of the dyname 4.0 motors been? are the batteries hot...

why did you go 29/29 instead of mullet? btw i live right near verdi would love to check out those bikes sometime. my ebike is like an ol jalopy compared to those. but i may get one if i can ever find a nice used one

ok new update on the motor. after it started working again from the 550 code and not powering on I took it up the mountain to ride. when i got up there it powered on and then had a 500 code instead and would not run. so i brought it back home and used the hair dryer for 48 hours straight. now...

BIG THANKS for your post saved my motor. So the first night I ran a fan in my cool garage and would not power on the next day. Saw you post about needing heat so I ran hair dryer for 15 hours on night 2 and it works again now. I thought it was done for sure.

its all tight and nice. just wont power on. past the warranty period though what does a new motor cost in us?

What percentage come back to life in your experience?
