I realize that this isn't an EMTB but a comprehensive review of a pretty solid effort I feel at a motor/gear box type bike. https://downtown-mag.com/en/ultima-mobility-multipath-trekking-allroad-in-review/ The fact that it is primarily an effort based in France is interesting.

Bimotal is a company that first came out with this concept which you may have or not seen and discounted as not MTB appropriate? Just received notice today that they have been developing a mid drive that has some impressive, if they are to be believed, specs, In a relatively compact design...

Will he be the first to utilize the HPS system for a super lite eMTB? https://hps-bike.com/

I want to try out LinkGlide but can't seem to find a source that carries it? Any help?

I have followed CX for quite awhile. Watched MVDP and WVA grow up basically. They were tooth and nail starting in the Juniors.... 1st WC of the season at Trek Headquarters in WI. USA and according to Puck Pieterse's course preview, which she has been good with for MTB this season on SN. I...

Being a little older, I am very fortunate to have someone call and check on me every day. He is from India and is very concerned about my car warranty. I choked on a carrot this morning, and all I could think of was, "I'll bet a doughnut wouldn't have done this to me." Nothing spoils a good...

All the Bafang mid motors I have had apart had a pitiful amount of lithium grease inside the gear case. I have found that John Deere Cornhead grease works really well. I have an M620 that is notoriously loud in stock form but after splitting the case and removing the little bit of factory grease...

Product Image: Product name: Archer D1X (Gen 2) Price paid: $429usd Score (out of 10): 8 Review: I have been holding off on electronic shifting as it was too spendy for the way my M620 bike goes through cassettes and chains and well I'm cheap so there is that. But the introduction...

Who else had one of these BITD? Mine was a '69 in BRG with the stick shift 3spd like the repro's. I rode that thing all over and it was the first bike I had that would make the hill up to my hood.

This bike was posted in the Frey Dopamine thread by @Cit and is a similar design but with some substantial differences? Link to the Pinkbike article about it that has more info than their website: Hybridizer Announces Its First Bike eMTB Frame, SANN - Pinkbike It is an idler design which is...

Optibike is the brainchild brand of Jim Turner the brother of Paul Turner who started RockShox. They were one of the first on the bus making mid drive ebikes as early a 2010 or so. Always were expensive as boutique brand bikes are but have survived all these years and this is their latest...

Caught wind of the title on a forum over here and found it was too good a deal to pass up although I need another eBike like a hole in the head. Ended up getting a 2021 Atom Lynx 5.5 with a Brose S motor and 720wh 2170 cell battery. 160mm Fox suspension and a Shimano grouppo shipped for $3500. I...

This has been a long time in the shed as I was really close to getting it going 2/'20 and then all hell broke loose. In the meantime I was mainly riding my eMTB and then fall '21 I got an E22 M620 bike and it got put further back on the to do list. That bike is down for awhile due to a...

There is a wide pricing gap in battery prices and it seems like there is little ryme nor reason for it to me. I was on a ride with a friend that has a couple year old Levo that has the 500ish wh battery and he has been talking about getting the 700ish wh battery since last year. He was...

It is a bit disturbing to read about the issues that are going on with regards to the various trail sabotage and access issues that are going on around us. Better to know than not I suppose. But that said what is on my mind this time of year seems to be going out and working on new and working...

OK, so right away warning you that this is not about an EMTB but it is e and a concept that I have considered for years....So don't bother to continue if you haven't got an open mind. eBikes have been associated with Mopeds since day 1 yet legal eBikes are nothing like Mopeds actually. True...

The frame is a steel OS Brand, the private brand of an industry guy that I know. Pretty old school geo and nothing I would want to make into a mtb although that was it's original intent. The price was right... Not a Bafang but a TSDZ2 running the Open Source Firmware. It's a kit type motor that...

I recently was united with a 3yr. old Labradoodle that came with all the good dog aspects as well as mtb experience via his prime people. Over the 30+ yrs. of mtb'ing I have had a few dogs that were trail trained and they can make great companions and those longing eyes about the time they think...

An odd partnership as Nicolai has been so bespoke over the years but might bring something interesting to market. Bike EU

It is pretty clear that the big boys are leading the charge these days and that most of the focus is on FS for all riding purposes. However there are some out here that don't want FS and are happy with a hardtail like myself. The simplicity, possibility of a lower weight and most important to me...
