30 years mtb, 1 year emtb. Emtb was the best thing ever and was the pivot point I needed to go full moto. Sold the emtb and don’t ride the acoustic bike barely at all. Dirtbike gets ridden 5 days a week. No regrets!!!!?

I would have kicked that guys ass. True story.

I hear ya on pricing. My brand new Kawi cost 1500.00 less than my emtb and with dirtbikes you get so much more!!!! I went from decades of acoustic mtb riding and racing to the last year on an emtb and now I’m riding a dirtbike and the emtb is for sale and the acoustic mtb has been ridden once...

3800 miles on my bmc speedfox amp this year till the e8000 motor failed a few weeks ago. The acoustic bike has seen a lot of use since then. Should get the bmc back with new motor in the next week or two.

I blew my e8000 at 3800 miles a week ago. A good run I’d say. Now I wait. Having the fork and rear shock serviced while I’m at it. Neither have been touched since new.

Mine started making a cracking noise this am on the 1st 15 mile ride, then became unbearable 4 hours later during my lunch break 15 miler. Both rides involve steep techy climbing.

3780 miles and I finally destroyed the motor today. Not even rideable now. Just skips, cracks, creaks. It’s loud. At the shop now.

720 wouldn’t suck!!!

I hear you both. Kona realizes now that not going 630 would turn off some folks, and understandably so. I do know that a lot of remote 160 riders do go with a second battery for big vert long rides. I will happily go this route. I definitely see the allure of wanting and demanding 630 for sure

504 keeps the bike lighter and 504 is plenty for most working folk or family men/women. 630 ain’t getting you epic. You want to go epic just buy and carry a second 504wh with ya.

huh?

Another 300 in the last 2 weeks brings me up to 3600 trouble free happy miles....

E8000. Buy it. It’s an awesome motor.

Welp just got in from a ride on my e8000 equipped BMC and man o man what a brilliant motor after all these hard miles. Trail mode is just brilliant, intuitive, seamless.❤️

I’ve never heard clunking from my e8000.....

Knut seemed to like the e7000 very much when he rode it. Was just reading a post from 2019 where he said he liked it better than the Bosch cx on trails.

Thanx Zim I had no idea that the e7000 had that bad of a track record. Crazy that they didn’t scrap the 7000 and keep the 8000 as you say.

e7000 is your motor then.
