    Chainsaw and bag for clearing trails?

    Our trail club just does not like newbies to handle chainsaws....especially the powerful gas ones. I also love working on the trails and then riding them. We have around 50 miles and our sister community has the same but they are a very wealthy community and simply pay people to patrol and...

    Chainsaw and bag for clearing trails?

    We have 50 miles of private single track to maintain here....TONS of trees in Colorado as well, and they fall each year. On top of that, many die and fall randomly so they have to be cut proactively or they fall when it is really windy. We used those big Silky saws and all the usual...

    Rail (750Wh) Trek - New bikes this coming week

    Today I did 23 miles and a bit over 4,000 ft in my 45 Nm de-tuned Sport mode 80% with lowered assist and 20% eMTB stock mode. I had 39% battery remaining. So the range is good. If the new Fuel can basically do that and I think it can, I'd love the 6-7 lb weight loss. The is the only thing I...

    Rail (750Wh) Trek - New bikes this coming week

    I'd still get a lighter bike over power I do not need or want really. If the motor weighs the same and the bike weighs the same, then sure, I'll take it.

    Rail (750Wh) Trek - New bikes this coming week

    That makes sense. They need to modernize their lineup, especially being a large bike company. Looking forward to it.

    Rail (750Wh) Trek - New bikes this coming week

    I really hope it is a new TQ motor. I am not buying an Avinox, no matter how cheap. TQ must be working on improvements.

    Amflow PL Carbon owners, check your seat tube for cracks!

    That frame is pretty light and reportedly flexy, which makes sense. They need to redesign the frame and add some carbon and strength to it.

    Bosch power chewing up chains and cassettes

    The way most guys ride their eMTBs, the current chains will wear out quicker. The all-steel cassettes are a good idea but the chains have no solution. 8-speed chains were thicker and stronger but they also had 3 front rings. I used 2 and 3 rings with my 9-speed rigs. Curiously, I have had...

    Bosch power chewing up chains and cassettes

    If you are using the stock settings, changing a chain that often is pretty normal. I'll get more but I mostly ride pretty detuned and in the lowest mode as well. No idea which cassette you use but the Deore is all steel. Also, just steady torque does not stretch the chain unusually. It is...

    New Amflow TL / 480wh Avinox RE

    It would basically have to be around 200-300 for the eMTBs. Halving the 480 in length would prob take it to 250 like the Bosch. No mountain biker is going to be lugging around a 480 weighing 6-7 lbs or whatever on mountain biking trails, at least not here. I sure would not even consider it...

    New Amflow TL / 480wh Avinox RE

    That RE is really for their "touring" bike. At least they have a RE now so a smaller one for MTBs may be in the works.

    What default mode do you use - Auto / Trail / other

    I use Sport (customized) and eMTB (Assist lowered 2 levels). In Sport I usually set it to 40 or 45 NM max support and -3 Assist. That is 90% of my riding. If I use stock setting my legs get too weak for regular MTB riding. My eMTB is my easy riding and cardio work. I ride MTBs with others...

    Insects

    I have only had a similar experience when driving along a river. Being dry and super low humidity, we do not see a lot of flying insects here.

    WARNING - Do not pay AmFlow via direct bank transfer and expect a refund

    You seem very uninformed or uneducated (or too young) in all this BUT I can try to educate you. The US is a huge and for many, the largest electronic market. The CES (Consumer Electronics Show) is the largest and most powerful conference for electronics retailers globally. DJI was one of the...

    WARNING - Do not pay AmFlow via direct bank transfer and expect a refund

    I wish for nothing Amflow related but facts are facts. US sales were 30%-35%. New models are banned here. Those are facts. So then we can surmise that US sales are down and probably not growing. That is reasonable inference. Any question?

    WARNING - Do not pay AmFlow via direct bank transfer and expect a refund

    It isn’t inconceivable that Amflow makes themselves a pariah brand with this behavior and it is probable they are having cash-flow issues. Since new DJI drone models are banned in the US now, and the US represents at least 30% of their sales, it could be having a big impact.

    Might a TQ HPR90 announcement be imminent (June at Eurobike)?

    It certainly would be a welcome addition to the fray! I'd consider it far before any Avinox bike. They don't interest me at all. If it has an extender is is compact and quiet, I may consider it before Bosch.

    Extender battery?

    When I bought my Shuttle, I knew I wanted an extender and would not have bought it if it did not have one so I actually bought the extender in advance when it was available. Then as luck would have it, they were available when I actually bought the bike and had it shipped so I bought another...
