jiw71 Added a reply to Honest question for e-bike buyers: What's your long term ownership strategy when you buy an e-bike?
12/7/2023 5:24pm Ignorance is bliss. I have a full suspension e-mtb with 19,636 kms. (almost 5 years ago). In the Spring of 2023 I purchased a hardtail e-mtb. I avidly ride both. Fun, fun, fun.

Great review! I have about 800 miles on my Stache 9 now and can tell all that it is one great, fun bike. I love the stiffness from the boost 148 in the rear and boost 110 in the front which compliment the big wheels. Control and handling on technical downhill and drops is fantastic. Selecting a proper line is no longer such an important issue. Just tuck back behind the seat and let er go. Tire pressure is more critical on the 29+ tires - too much and the bike is bouncy. Once the pressure is properly dialled in...

I've gotten 5x that amount of elevation in my Jeep. So what's your point? Try riding under your own power (only) - then brag about elevation gain.

7/17/2015 7:30am It only sounds dumb if you fail to properly comprehend what is being stated. Bikes with motors absolutely will threaten trail access. Period. It does not matter whether they are going up or down. Everyone here fully understands how they work so there is no need to explain. When people shuttle, they are not driving motorized vehicles up a bike trail so trail access in that manner is not threatened. Do I think shuttling is lame? Yup. But between the places I have lived out west and in New England, the shuttle-optional trails have yet to affect the trail access...

Sorry, but "when knees start to give out and your lung capacity ain't what it was..................." then ride trails within your physical limitations - there are thousands of 'em. I am 66 years old and still enjoy riding trails that I can negotiate under my own power. The point that seems to be missed is the satisfaction and enjoyment that results in riding a trail "under your own steam" - UNASSISTED - and by NOT cheating yourself. Honesty and integrity is missing here. Get out there!

Will a shortcage RD be able to handle the 42t cog? And at $100 I'd be happy pushing my bike up the hill... that's what I do now anyways HAHAHA.
