fine maybe 3kw is too much to expect on an emtb but something like this at 1.6kw i think would be the sort of drive unit i would like to see on a proper emtb. and an easily hot swapable battery so you can have 2 batteries and not need to weigh it down too much in the quest for range. these emtbs...
no i want an emtb with like 3 kW. i have a 72v surron with 15kw and its awesome but its still not an emtb, it weighs like 125 pounds. what i dont get is all the crap ebikes they are putting out have more power than these expensive emtbs that are good for actual mountain biking. i really think...
The whole emtb category is just so stagnant now imo. All the other ebikes categories are pushing the envelope of the technology and emtbs are stuck with these low power assist only drivetrains that also greatly limit the speed. Its really sort of sad because the other segments of ebikes just do...
yep 220s on mtb and ebikes are not worth it, i very much agree. 203s on my ebike and dh bike are perfect. i am only running 220s on my surron, that is something that needs it since its using mtb brakes for what is essentially a moto
Fork is bomber 58. Brake caliper is XT 8120. Using 203 to 220 shimano adaptor ESMMAF220PPL. The rotor is the 220 sram hs2.
The issue I am encountering is that the rotor does not sit quite deep enough into the caliper and there is a small lip of brake pad at the periphery which is not engaging...
i think im going to hold out for the 5000w cyc gen 3 and do a build on that the more i research. i kinda want the surron like experience but with less than half the weight. im sure the range at power will be pretty dismal but im suspecting i can ride it at low power if i want to do a decent...
cracking the speed limit is nothing, there are kinds of devices for that already. they need to crack the power, free these motors up so we can use them how we want. im not worried about the warranty, i just get a new motor if need be. but yeah it prolly wont happen so i guess i will just do a...
what might even be better is if someone could crack the firmware on these motors so we could set the tune higher, the motors are no doubt capable of pushing more watts. i am actually surprised we havent seen this yet, like how they crack the iphone software. that way you want range u leave it in...
does anyone make aftermarket ebike motors with more power that can be fitted to existing bosch or shimano frames? i think i saw someone doing that a while ago at some point but i dont see it anywhere on the internet now that i can find.
i would like to upgrade my ebike to get some real power...
that is the cleanest cyc motor setup i have seen on the net. any wobbles of the battery or is secured well enough for hard rocky descents? what is the total weight of the bike? have u had a conventional ebike before that you can compare this build with?
i want to do something like this with an enduro bike. i am not at all interested in a backpack solution and just want to turn a nice enduro bike in to cyc motor ebike. i just want more power than all these low power stock systems deliver that are handicapped by legislation.
I am interested to hear how people get along with size on this. I am 183 and am also considering downsizing to medium. I do wonder about it though, the seattube will be quite short and I dunno if it will need high rise bars or what.
The bike is not out in US so I will have some time to see how...
All mileage is mtb trails on super enduro scott ransom eride always turbo mode. I keep thinking I need to get a new chain but the tool shows no wear and bike shifts great. I just use white lightning clean ride every other ride and ride in the desert, its dry but dusty.
How much mileage do other...
I have an XT chain on my Bosch bike that I ride exclusively in Turbo mode and have nearly two thousand miles on the chain. For some reason the chain still does not show any measurable wear with the chain tool is less than 0.5. What am I doing wrong haha? I have heard that Drive trains don't last...
I dont understand what exactly THEIR incentive to do this would be. Are there some legislatures who are demanding this of them?
These ebikes should all be derestricted as i see it. I certainly would not buy one where it is not possible. Bouncing into the limiter is just annoying and these...
I like the bike alot but to me the pricing and the build are just not too compelling to want to actually buy one. Maybe if they offered a frame only it would look more attractive but no way I would spend that much for a bike when most of the parts I would want to swap for my preferred parts...
did you ride as full 29 first and switch to mullet or always mullet?
I thought about doing mullet when i got my upgrade wheelset but i didnt cause i figured it im gonna have the long chainstay anyways i might as well get the roll over of the 29.
but im still curious about the mullet on the...
