I went down this rabbit hole a few years ago when a friend requested a similar setup. We ended up going down the route of a quality, 250w hub motor (Geared Shengyi SX2). We built 2 DIY batteries for him, 1 that is water bottle cage sized that was 8ah and another that was 14ah (both were 48v)...

I have 3k miles on my gen 5 cx equipped bullit, no rattles. I do have what might be a slipping sprag clutch... but zero rattles.

You should absolutely buy whatever bike and ebike drive unit configuration you want. People can have strong opinions about the implications of the avinox system, but it would be pretty tough right now to not argue that the avinox is the most technologically advanced and the smart choice to...

As a performance motorcycle/car nut, and a firm believer that rules are made for other people, I agree with you. There is a key difference however, and that is the fact that this sport, cannot exist without trails. When you break the law, or do something reckless in your car or motorcycle, you...

I do 6-7k days on my bullit with range extender all the time using trail and some emtb. I think the 600wh choice was right for me and lets me do 3,500-4k rides on full boost with the internal, 5k full boost with the internal+re, and 6-7k if I am smart about mode usage. I can see the desire for...

I am nervous about the approach of defending a significant amount of power by highlighting that speed is the issue. Going faster then we should is sorta the fight-club rule for this sport. Most, if not all trail areas that I am aware of either have a stated, or un-spoken 10 or 15mph speed...

Despite being a cheeseburger eating barbarian unit using luddite american, i still feel that grey should be spelled with an e and not with an A...

You for sure want to be on the same class of bike that your riding crew is on. I rode a mid power with my buddies whom were on full power bikes for the better part of a year. It only worked because I'm fitter than they are... but that still didn't change the fact that I would finish a few of...

You absolutely need at the minimum, test ride these bikes in the parking lot and ideally, demo them out on the trail. The change in bike geometry is going to be MASSIVE between what you're currently on and these bikes. If it were me, I would select what you buy based off of criteria in this...

This mostly aligns with my experience with my local riding group. We all have our motors tuned to relatively similar modes... Boost: ~100-120NM - 750w - 1000w depending on person and bike EMTB/Auto: 90-70nm - 700-600w Trail: 50-70nm - 500-400w We have a mix of drive units, bosch gen 5 (and...

I don't honestly have a strong opinion either way on ebike drive units. I've ridden all of the avinox motors at this point and I have no desire to own one over the gen 5 bosch that I currently have. The bosch is plenty powerful for me and the bullit that it is mounted to is a better bicycle...

you answered it yourself, buy a santa cruz. If you're on a budget, buy one used and roll the dice and leverage their crash replacement for second owners grace that they typically give.

You misunderstood me... you have to go to the dealer in either case. the difference is that the dealer has to go through the oem bike mfg and not directly to avinox for support or replacement motors.

I'm following along in this thread as a gen 5 cx owner as the zendit is the bike out of all of them, that I could see replacing my bullit with. One thing that I was told by a friend in the industry (I have not corroborated this, so take it with a grain of salt) is that avinox requires the oem...

Just throwing this out there... I have a bullit with 2,800 miles on it and I ride the bike down under 10% battery remaining at least a handful of times a month. Shit... It's not rare for me to ride the bike until dead and then pedal a completely off ebike for 300-500' of vert and 4-5 miles back...

No I don't see a slider in emtb+ to adjust over-run. It just has it by default. I'd love to add over-run to tour and eco as I too really like it for technical climbing, but obviously I don't always want to climb with that much power on tap. I would kill for a tour mode with over-run honestly.

I got the update installed on my bullit. The one thing I can't figure out yet is where to change or add overrun to modes other than emtb+. Anyone have any tips or info on that?

I've tried a lot of shocks on my bullit. I've run the stock float X (from gx axs build), a stock float x2 (from x01 build), an avalanche tuned bomber cr (tuned originally for a transition relay) and an EXT Storia (tuned for a yeti LT-E). Of the shocks I have tried, the float X2 is my...

Feel free to zip up the trails this weekend with your pack to do trail work. I'm headed to pacifica next week to see friends and do some riding and I'm stoked that you're going to touch up the trails before I get there. :P
