Why wasn’t one of the options reliability, serviceability, warranty and longevity on there. the main thing I want from an ebike is that it would die on me, but if it does then the company will sort it out quickly.

11/18/2023 3:38pm sure, if you're self shuttling then you don't need those tall gears but if you're e-enduroing then they're needed. I climb some seriously steep trails on my ebike and spend a lot of time on my tallest gears,

Just take a 7kg dump before you ride.

I can't answer that poll. I never buy anything with the resale a consideration, it is what it is. I get an item out of need or want and then let the chips fall where they may. Side note, anyone want a medium size Intense tazer expert with about 900 miles on it over a 3 year period, was ridden about 3 times this year, I need to get as much as I can out of it hahaha.

Great question: Bought my first ebike in 2018 online for $4.5k, motor died early 2022 requiring a new motor for 1k. Completely missed the the timing of the crazy high prices post COVID, tried selling early 2023 with all new components, no buyers, just updated the ad today trying to do "frame only" (with motor+battery+cranks) for under 2k, not holding my breadth. Would be happy to keep it, but it is too similar to the new bike and no space in the garage. Bought my new bike at the start of the year for 5k at the local shop. I...

Where I live now there are a ton of moto trails that'd be great on an e-bike. But I won't even consider one until the aftermarket support improves significantly. In my mind a used E-bike is worth essentially nothing, because if you have motor or battery issues you are SOL. Which also makes buying a new one less attractive because it's difficult to sell. I want to be able to tear into it and replace individual components in the motor if they go bad or wear out from normal use. I don't send my stuff anywhere and I'm not willing...

I want the thing to be as close to riding a dirt bike as it can be..... more power, more speed, more stiffness. Basically a DH bike with a motor.

11/17/2023 7:37am lighter weight with same power and range as my current full powered fezzari timp peak with 640 w/h battery. pinion drive with integrated motor would be great! I'm not bothered with the current weight, I've learned how to ride it just like my pedal bikes, but if we're talking wish list then dropping 5lbs would be awesome.

A sneak peak is when you think you're at the top, but then turn a corner and see that you're still a whole 'nother peak away.

Back in 2019 I dropped in on a Peruvian scree field starting at ~15,000 feet behind Geoff Gulevich. Our vacation coincided with his trip and it was an awesome experience. He's a down to earth, genuine, and hilarious human and wasn't bothered at the slightest of my fan-boy antics. A few dinners, drinks, shuttles and attended a Cusco Football game together, can't say enough good things about the guy. https://www.instagram.com/p/B4-02CAnB2g/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link&ig… Earlier this year in Mexico my wife and I were on a trip with the Oaxaca expeditions crew and I noticed Brad Simms jibbing around at our hotel, he was...

Back in 2004 or 2005 (I can't remember), I met Andrew and Elliot Jackson at an MX race in Indiana. They stayed at our house one night on the way back to Oklahoma. Elliot was just a middle-school aged kid then, and they weren't even on an amateur MX team yet back then. Our moms just hit it off. I took them snipe hunting on the farm...

I know he said on a podcast recently (can't remember which one) that part of Asa's deal was equity in the company so that is not really true.

Pretty sure Luca's going into a new DH program with 23degrees with Cami, Benoit and the rest of the remaining Dorval team to re-invigorate Haro with their new VPP version of the Magnum .357 DH bike. But this is put hearsay to take it as you will.

There's a huge push being put on shops to sell E-bikes right now, and TBH, rightly so. Its finally a product that people want that actually makes shops money even if they are more of a pain in the ass on the back end. E-bike racing would certainly help push E-mountain out the door, not that in my area at least its an issue. Our local hill has three main climbs, two are about 430m high with an average of 10% grade and the other is 430m and 9km long so they pretty much sell themselves for people who have...

Definitely sounds like the team was a means to an end, with that end being a production, race ready frame. Now that the frame is done and in production, I get the feeling they don’t want to/ could no longer foot the bill for Aaron and company, and will focus on a cheaper, American based development team which will be cool and very in-line with all of their marketing talk.
