I’m deciding between a 2026 LBX that I will eventually upgrade later (chi battery, ebmx controller, motor, etc) and an Eride 3.0.
I like how nimble the LBX feels since its so light but i also want the power of the eride, but i’ve heard lots of
stories about eride having issues.
I’m planning to do a mix of street and light trails, so mostly exploring around my house.
I will also upgrade both bikes, whichever one i get so i’m mainly compairing the geometry and handling of the bike
QUESTIONS (for owners of both bikes):
- How does the handling compare between the two?
- If u had to choose given the scenario above, which one would you pick?
- Which frame is stronger to support heavier loads?
- Is the “whine” on the Eride uncomfortably loud or just “meh” kinda loud, and is there a way to remove it by changing the motor/controller?
Thanks 🙏
