9/17/2026 5:19am I'd wish we had a manufacturer that had an approach to blend in an external battery into a light frame with visual carbon blends or something that doesn't make the bike look that ugly. Personally I don't worry much about looks but I think to stay in business brands have to check that box somehow. Lapierre was a bit too...

9/17/2026 5:15am I have a 600wh in frame battery with a 250w range extender on my bike, which makes 750w of max power. I have zero issues soft pedaling my way into 4,500' elevation gain rides in boost mode. I also do plenty of epic 7,500' elevation gain rides in mid power modes on this bike. Lamenting 600wh internal frame batteries is quite frankly lame and imo based on a desire for more power then is necessary or laziness. 200wh doesn't make or break any rides I want to do and 3lbs of weight on the bike not up high is a...

9/17/2026 5:04am I would rather not need an app for my ebike. I prefer to do most settings on the bike if possible, one less thing to help keep me off my phone please.

9/1/2026 9:04am In some german speaking parts of switzerland they have this mentality aswell. Maybe just not just as serious as in austria.

9/1/2026 7:14am American politics currently truly do suck but have you ever been to austria and tried to ride singletrails outside of bikeparks? Or fireroads? I think that would be an interesting challenge for you and your Avinox.

9/1/2026 6:58am I was told by a shop guy that they both go inside the frame, one on top of the other. I would hope that the main one goes down low, and the add-on goes up high. It'd also be cool if you could run either one down low depending on distance needs... 330 for after work ride, 650 for weekend, or 650+330 for big epics.

9/1/2026 6:56am @sspomer and @Jason_Schroeder I just listened to the recent Inside Line pod where y'all were perplexed by the Avinox haters. I wanted to provide some honest insight into this: for many of us, it's because they're higher power than Class 1 and we worry that they're going to jeopardize e-bike trail access. I'd like to see DJI and Specialized eat dirt since they don't care one iota about trail access dynamics. I'd love to hear you start calling Avinox (and others) out on being over 750 watts and not Class 1. It's maddening whenever there's a review that doesn't bring...

9/1/2026 6:55am What was the weight difference between your Levo and Fuel+? I noticed a surpisingly big difference difference in pedalling my Levo gen 3 with the battery in vs. out which is about a 3.5-4kg difference.

9/1/2026 6:53am Looking at the nicolai, I can't help but imagine trying to explain to the park ranger than I am actually riding a Class 1 pedal assist ebike, and not a surron type e-moto. I want an eDH bike as much as anyone but I'm not sure this is a good direction for ebikes to be going. Let's make more ebikes that look like bikes, not motorcycles.

9/1/2026 6:51am Im not sure that power is useful. You can get to max speed on a steep slope too quick already. Its not super manageable keeping the front end down on the steep trails that power like that is useful for. I'd imagine avinox riders are turning down the wattage for most mtb trail usage. Special scenarios sure, but then you just burn thru your battery or you have a tank with massive batteries

8/21/2026 3:09am I've now seen multiple videos where people could reproduce a rattle sound without a chain so idk. I prefer to not believe the fanboys and girls on this. I've seen to many 'this motor doesn't rattle's claims over the years in reviews and posts to believe that when there is smoke there is no fire (in this case of motor...

8/19/2026 12:48pm The chainless comparison is for provoking the noise without the influences of the frame, kinematics and the focus on having to ride a difficult trail plus other stuff that can rattle. Just simulate what chain slap will do to the chainring by rocking it back and forth in quick succession and you'll hear if the motor theoretically can rattle in...

8/19/2026 11:24am It would be better if you tested it specifically also with the chain off to discount for kinematics and resonances from the frame and isolate noise. There is also a psychoacoustic component: many people claim the bike is silent when just riding it because they focus on riding. And it's not really true that every motor brand or model has...

tabletop84 Added a comment about product review PX
8/19/2026 5:27am Was the motor rattle adressed? Its always sus that this is always danced around when new motors come out by most reviewers and only months or years later everyone agrees that this and that motor actually rattles while coasting dh. That's very vital information for a mountainbike!
