My first eMTB came with the 20kph (15mph) restriction - if the dealer had not bumped it to 32lph (25mph) he would have had a returned bike on his hands as "Not fit for purpose." Hell, I was 60 then and the only trails I was quicker on the eMTB were those with lots of climbing. Many of the...

Have mine screwed on with the Scott & just hanging there with the mag on the Avanti. Don't jump big shit anymore and try very hard not to crash these days so it seems to work.

Lower voltages and lower power drawer with laptop chargers. Saying that, I would get 1 or 2 calls a week to see if we have a charger for some laptop or another in stock. The bigger ones always seem to outlast the small ones. A good example is for a client I supplied 50 notebooks a couple years...

Coming from a Moto background and not adverse to a few tricks I initially went for flats but fouind myself changing. Way back I found myself a lot more comfortable with SPDs as when I came across a hole some clown had dug or a drainage channel on a trail I found it much easier to 'lift' the...

How are you charging them - on or off the bike?

Ride by ride. Started today going up Apoamoana in Tour and was at 82% at the top, but at the bottom of Te Poaka I was showing 85%. Think there is some smart tech going on under the hood.

^^ Saying that ^^ Some munters out there should be limited to 10 or 12kph beacuse at almost any speed they are a danger.

Your mistake was returning to California. I left 45 years ago and every time I go back to visit family I become even more thankful I left.

I hate to tell you, but my time on my road training ride on my singlespeed just a few years ago was over 30kph average. My road bike speed was only about 1.5kph faster average for the 1hr loop. Most of the trails I ride, my times on my singlespeed or my 12x2 Scott Genius are faster than on my...

Haven't rode a Trek since the first one I tested - and disliked. However, geo changes and the new motor have made a huge difference I am told. From my experience I have a Scott carbon with the G4 motor and an Avanti alloy with thesame G4, updated to Kiox to match the Scott. Each bike has areas...

I got told I have a twinnie on the forum ...

I wanna borrow an ebike and ride Saddleback Park next time I am home - even if I do have to wander around with a weed wacker first. Most of the other tracks I raced Moto are long gone now.

I thought Old Farts started at 60 on bikes & 50 on MX bikes. Am 64 & have a couple - Avanti eHammer & Scott eGenius 900 Tuned. Play

No - that is the bolt. If I run it there I see random 503 errors and occasionally it will just switch off.

Better bridge and safety rail for todays dummies.
