Well..it's been 3 years since the last post :P Any interesting updates on eMTBs in Washington state? I'm newer to the area. I keep checking Evergreen's site but that's about all I know to look at.

Trek doesn't ship with or sell any sort of grommet like you're describing.

WTF...

There have been plenty of rumors circulating. And I wondered what it might look like. Anyone seen any other photos of it? https://bikerumor.com/spotted-prototype-sram-motor-on-alloy-nukeproof-megawatt-emtb/ Update: Here's another article and photos...

If you're mulleting the bike it might be a tough sell because technically you could slap a 29" wheel back on there and have the bike going above the speed limit (since the circumference programmed would have been a smaller value). And if the bike isn't design to be mulleted then you're outside...

Hello! Anyone have experience with larger, hard-shell cases for transporting their eMTBs? I don't want to fly with it (batteries and such) but I want to be able to reliably ship it ground via UPS, etc. No cardboard boxes please. And a softshell case, even with reinforcements, makes me too...

Interesting, it's the bike made using REIN4CED's technology. Yeah, they have a stainless matrix within the composite. And I guess they need to use a robot tow machine to create the laminate blanks. But I don't think they are actually having a robotic arm place the laminates in the frame...

I'm interested in this too! For my wife, specifically. She really needs "XS" bikes typically. The Trek Powerfly 4 comes in XS with a very low standover, and also the Mondraker Prime is sort of a lightweight eMTB that also comes in XS. I'm interested in any other Bosch-powered eMTBs that do a...

you could check the torque of the pivot bolts but they're all sealed bearings so there's nothing to grease.

You gotta go into your dealer and they can possibly swap in the eMTB-lite software.

Ideally it's newest, and your dealer should provided that update for you.

Hate to say it, but that's pretty lame advice. Yes it does conserve battery power but at the lowest reserve setting I only saved a few KM. And if it's a good light and connected properly, issues shouldn't occur.

yeah bosch bikes have a reserve programmed so if your assist goes out you still have lights. but i think your dealer can adjust the amount of reserve????

On the Purion it's not possible for you to do, but your dealer can make small adjustments. It's kind of a bottomless pit to chase this though. And your Garmin is also not totally accurate. It's understandable you want them to match of course. But...don't expect to get it perfect.
