Fiamma Bike Block Pro D1

I guess regen would just suck the fun out of downhills (like drag). Like it was mentioned, it would probably mess with braking, and precise brake control is everything in MTB. Plus, the energy return wouldn't even be that impressive—maybe 10–20 Wh per 100 vertical meters. It might make sense...

What a beautiful spring day. The Winter was short but cold, so the coastline is still frozen.

Wouldn't this be possible already in private bike parks or trail centers as it's up to the land owners what is allowed? Of course there are other issues then, like insurance and liabilities and whatever other regulations there are. Anyone asked their opinions?

Mopeds have been banned from pedestrian and cycling paths, and for good reason. People here often seem to forget that electrically assisted bicycles are classified the same as regular bicycles, which allows them to be used as widely as possible. If power or speed limits start being increased...

Right, their advertising and product development should understand the reality gap; what riders actually need is different from what they want. But kudos to them for trying to bring a sensible product to market.

The bike comes with adjustable headset cups, so you can get it down to 63.5 head angle

You still ride'em 450s?

Looks like a Canyon and a bit too sharp angles for my taste. I like the new Santa Cruz Vala (and Bullit). And the Gen3 Levo is still a looker. Propain and Orbea also make good looking bikes. (image from this forum)

Send him a bike to review.

It has happened a few times to me riding under powerlines on a very dry summer days. The spot is on a rocky hill and the powerlines are relatively low there. Got slight electric shocks from grip's metal end caps. When it first happened I thought there was something wrong with the bike. But I...

Looks really nice! But looking at the tires, what's the use case for this bike?

I knew this had been tested somewhere and i found it. It's an old (2019) test in the Finnish Fillari magazine, but it will give you an idea. I'm pretty sure newer motors are not worse. Even surface, average speed 28,5 km/h. Average wattage: Bosch CX: 194W (gen2 Bosch with small chain ring...
