I’m so glad I’ve never had to ride in a trail area that doesn’t have dedicated one way mtb trails. It seems like it just causes so many problems.

I’m sure this access thing is going to be different in whatever area we are talking about. Different land managers, and perspectives. Here in Southern Oregon there are E bikes everywhere. Hikers and other groups have complained about them, but the forest service and the city of Ashland don’t have the manpower or the resources to enforce any of it. Basically like trying to stop a tsunami. The amount of rogue trails that have sprung up has went nuclear. The unexpected benefit is that everybody is spread out and it has seemingly decreased conflicts. This power argument is just a...

The SL version with the 75nm/700W motor is a far neater and better integrate dpackage imo.

Something i noticed in the video report from bosch - When they release the 12A charger the Flow app will be able to control max charge state such as 40-80% etc - for me this is huge, as i do alot of quick local rides and get several quick late night laps over a week without recharging and id rather not leave it at 100% when i do a recharge.(ie ill ride 4 nights in a row and then not ride for a few days due to whatever reasons) Anther note is Bosch said The 12A charge current is well...

I think my sight is 23ish with dh casing/cushcore/800wh/coil rear/38 and the only place I notice the weight is jumping. And overall my upper body gets more sore but that might just be because of more laps.

Honestly, I think the trick check is gonna be a hit. I don’t really care about it, but it reminds me of how ridiculously happy my 63-year-old mom (who still rips a meat bike, btw) gets from that little Garmin “beep” when you get airborne. Riding with her is hilarious because she’s popping off every little thing she can find, then letting out a full-on “whoop” every time it beeps. It’s wholesome as hell.

The 12A charger is making these 600wh bikes suddenly much more interesting if you're able to make it back to the car for lunch.
