I think you're a badass op. Good on you for tackling it. I tackle things all the time that I don't know what I'm doing and nine out of 10 times it works out. Sometimes you lose though but we're still ahead.

You are correct that there is no enforcement at this time. It's a shame though that if there isn't enforcement you don't think the rules exist.

Cool review, thanks for doing it. Dope bike! Ps. No one thinks that class 2+ is 'unusable'. After all people ride MX bikes off-road. That just isn't the argument. That said your terrain is so wide open and prolonged steep, It would make sense to me to allow Class 2 to e-MX bikes on that...

A used bike, sharing the same build level, is worth more than the same vintage same build used e-bike. I'm shopping right now for a good trail bike, or preferably a used Levo SL for my gf and finding this out. Unfortunately in her size options are very limited, otherwise I'd have a Gen 2 Levo SL...

Choose your ride wisely.

Well, either way we've about burned this argument to the ground. This new Wild is going to be dope and will almost certainly be an improvement over the previous model, that's just how advancement works. And I can say that not desiring an Avinox at all and having a nearly new Bosch Wild in the...

Your wrong about the Avinox being lighter after you add the needed chain ring protection. I mean it might be lighter, but it's like 50-100 grams total or the like, something inconsequential. Furthermore it's more poorly distributed if you get the 800 wh battery. That's something you can actually...

As I mentioned some pages back, Orbea should just have a screen you can go to that states and you have to agree to that you are bypassing Class 1 legality and it's not legal to operate on any non motorized public trail system in this mode. It should probably also have a red outline on the screen...

Only two things are occurring in the case of a rattling Gen5 (and we've already covered it before, just 2 pages back in fact). 1) the motor is broken and warrantable. Or 2) something else is rattling on the bike and it's misdiagnosed which frankly is pretty easy to do. The motor literally...

If it rattles on the work bench it's probably not brake pads, cables or the like. There are lots of legitimate reasons for variance in the rattle including: riders on trails with few high speed compressions, low engagement hubs, riders that pedal through rough areas maintaining gear pressure...

That all seems pretty reasonable to me, I mean how much the dealer was able to share with you considering the embargo he is under. Those lead times and spec choices are in line with what my dealer shared with me when I had my own Wild on order and briefly considered waiting for the Avinox...

It's a 'biking' bias. Once again, you are not seeing the forest for the trees. Yah, I get MX bikes are not the same as a bike. However, there is a chasm of unfilled space between 1 hp (750 watts) and 55 hp (450F). That said, 1500w/ 2 hp, with instant torque, very lightweight, very low rolling...

You didn't answer the question, but if I wade through the BS a bit, are you saying that you feel that 1500w/ 28 mph SHOULD become the legal Class 1 bike limit? Primarily because it's the most that one can reasonably utilize at the 'natural limit' in your opinion. I assure you that there are...

I'd be curious where your line in the sand is? If Bosch/ Avinox/ Mahle/ etc. cranked their motor up to 2000w, would that be, okay? What if they released a new motor and it offered 2500w, 3500w? Bosch, and I'm sure others, could do that effortlessly. If it's light, compact, quiet, smooth & still...

I would think that the new Orbea Wild starting every time in Class 1, and there being a warning that you are engaging Class2+ mode by going above 750w & 20 mph/ 25kph and this might be illegal on non-motorized public lands and that you accept, would be a reasonable compromise so as not to lose...

Yah, it's so unfair that they aren't selling you a Class 3, but then claiming it's a Class 1 like their competitors. Orbea is so immoral...

I've been shopping for a used Levo SL for my gf & daughter to share. Both of them weigh about 100 lb. The bike can be built to weigh about 40#s. I like that it's mullet, I like that it has a short chainstay in those sizes. They both just ride trails but it is enough bike that we could take it...

Here's another hack for you if you have the AXS dropper. The plastic on the bottom pops off and allows you to lower the dropper another 4mm if it was bottoming out at the bottom and not at the collar.

On the Bikes & Big Ideas podcast by Blister, they had an interview with Chris Cocallis of Pivot Cycles, that was quite enlightening on this very topic. I have not listened to the entire thing carefully and I'm paraphrasing here but a couple of points I overheard were: 1) he had a demo first gen...
