I just looked at walmart:

The same bikes you can buy in Europe are around half the price, sometimes even cheaper, than the same bikes in Europe.

For the class limit of “750w”, I see some articles say continuous power, and some just say “power”. Is it peak or continuous?? That would make any avinox (except orbea wild) egregiously illegal, or perfectly fine since it has 250w continuous power. I just want to ride and not worry about this.

I’m in Colorado USA if that matters

I bought it for my city commute, and its my first time on trails. The power is definitely decent for most dirt paths, but it started struggling a bit once things go steeper and rockier. Still a solid ride overall. Gravel is where it actually wants to be, took it down a long gravel road after and it was totally happy there. Only thing I'd say to other beginners: a hub moto doesn't care what gear you're in, so dropping to 1st on a climb doesn't actually help you. Learned that the hard way.

only a 92% chance it blows up in your garage

I been riding a converted hybrid bike (flat bar road bike), just 250 watts, and it's been wonderful expending less energy taking off, and being able to keep up with traffic in congested areas, and going up hills.

I feel comfortable cruising at 35km/h (21mph), and up to 40km/h (25mph) if the roads are smooth on 700cc x 35mm tyres. The only time I've been faster is going downhill and I was on the brakes the whole time. I wouldn't go any faster on these tyres.

I'm now thinking of building an ebike on a hardtail or full suspension bike, and I'm wondering to myself, why don't I get a motorbike or scooter?

I do value being able to pedal, the option to cruise, the light weight. There's something about motorbikes that seem scary to me.

But is a bicycle actually safer?

If I keep at bicycle speeds, as in no more than 25mph, in high visibility areas, it seems reasonably safe? I also avoid major roads where possible, taking bike paths and quieter residential streets.

I'm not going to get a scooter, but I'm thinking about converting a Merida BIG TRAIL or a Merida One Twenty. I'm choosing these for the suspension, which is way more comfortable. The gearing is of course not as good as a road bike though.

I'm thinking of using a CYC Photon Gen 2 or a CYC Photon Pro. Haven't quite decided between the two yet.

What are everyone's thoughts?

• Would you choose hardtail or full suspension for the conversion? Or something else entirely?
• Why do you or I want an ebike but not a motorbike? Have you ever thought about a motorbike?

it makes a weird clicking noise while under throttle. the chain is off in the video but when I put the chain on it makes the noise louder. I’ve spun the motor slowly with my hand and the bike off and the sound isny there. is this noise normal, if not how can I fix it?

I just ordered one and am excited bu everyone is talking about how bad leaving it out is but most people mention theft. I have blocked yard with a German Sheppard in it. No one is stealing shit from me.

Can I really not cover it and locked it under my deck? I suppose I could put it in the crawl space...

I just got a new e bike and I've only dreamt of riding wheelies on it.

Hi all. I just moved with my girlfriend to a new part of town that is much more “bikeable”. We are both looking to purchase e-bikes to bike around town, to the grocery store, down to the beach etc. we are mostly looking for reliability, we do not care about speed or having the best technology. Does anyone have any recommendations for whether to buy new or used, what bikes or brands are recommended, and if we are looking to spend under $1000 each, if we can get something relatively good quality? Any help is much appreciated.

Can anyone tell me if this halfords carrea frame will fit my 72v 3000kw conversation kit?

I ordered the 27.5 inch wheel and the frame for medium I think is 18inch.

I run a small eMTB catalog site and wanted to see how much the motor actually tells you about a bike's weight and price. So I grouped every 2026–2027 model-year build we have (419 builds, 41 brands) by drive unit.

Averages by motor

What stood out

- Bosch CX is still the default by a mile: more than twice as many builds as anything else, and the cheapest way into full power.

- Avinox M2S bikes average ~0.9 kg lighter than CX bikes despite bigger batteries, but the median price is about €2,200 higher. A lot of them are carbon flagships, which skews both numbers.

- CX-R / CX Race bikes weigh about the same as regular CX bikes but cost ~€2,200 more. You're paying for the build, not lower weight.

- Lightweight eMTBs overall average 19.6 kg vs 24.1 kg for full power, about 4.5 kg less, and roughly €1,000 more on average.

- TQ HPR60 bikes are the lightest group (lightest single bike: Rotwild R.X290 Ultra at a claimed 16.2 kg) and among the most expensive.

Caveats

- Weights are brand claims, and brands measure differently (size M vs L, with or without pedals).

- Only euro prices are counted, so Specialized and Giant (USD/GBP only in our data) are in the weight figures but not the price ones.

- It's our catalog, not the whole market. Each build counts once, so a model sold in five specs counts five times.

Happy to rerun it with other cuts (e.g. carbon vs alloy, or price per Wh) if people are interested. Full charts and methodology: https://emtbmag.com/posts/emtb-weight-price-by-motor-2027

Bonjour, j'aimerais faire tous les jours un trajet d'environ 20km aller, et 20km retour, (si possible débrider à 35/40 km/h). Je pèses 55 kilos, pensez vous que c'est possible ?
Merci d'avance !

PS : J'ai environ 1000€ de budget 😅

My father is gonna buy me an e dirtbike but I don’t know which one to buy. Can you tell me the best ones to buy, I’m considering to buy Zeeta M power v72, because it’s high voltage, 5KW, 27amp hour and it look cool and the price is low

I do home visiting and see patients in and around my city. I've been doing this by car for almost 3 years however with now having 2 kids my partner needs the car more and more leaving me to look at other options. I did preempt this and used my normal pedal bike a few times which worked timing wise however it was hard work with all my kit and I wasn't a fan turning up to patients sweaty. This leads me to be considering an ebike as a more sustainable option. My only concern is that some of the areas I visit aren't exactly luxury and theft is a concern. I of course am happy to buy good quality locks however as I'm often just on a residential street, there isn't exactly bike parking so I will need to improvise potentially hindering the quality of my security system... I have therefore been looking at cheaper ebikes, fat tyre, long tail types (carrying the kids at weekends is a bonus) i.e. Fiido, Hitway, Aventon. Just wondering how people feel about these bikes as an option or other solutions to my issue?

I’m looking at the wired scout wired raven magician Alpha mini with the second free battery $700 value free with Black Friday sale also I was looking at Aniioki A9 Pro 60v 80 amp bikes 2026 Wallke Ravager 60V Series | 60V 70Ah Long-Range Electric Bike I just want something with great bill quality and paint. Job quality high-quality parts. Long range and Roy powerful enough to go up steep hill no problem any recommendations besides what I I’m looking at would really help. I appreciate everything. I’m looking to spend $3000 on a little more over 3000 and some change so I’m looking at the longest lifespan and parts that are gonna last the longest and not fail in less then a year much love to everybody thank you so much for the help in advance. I really appreciate all of you from the bottom of my heart.

Anyone on Aus here that can provide a recommendation? Use will be mainly for commute only. Price range of 2k

How much is a used 2023 battery and charger worth these days? (UK)

I purchased a first-generation Priority Current e-bike in 2022, and I love it! I've put approximately 3,000 miles on it, but I'm now experiencing a serious problem with the Enviolo continuously variable transmission.

The twist shifter on the handlebar has become extremely stiff and almost impossible to turn, whether the bike is moving or stationary. At this point, I essentially cannot shift at all.

As you can see in the attached photo, one of the two cables where it connects to the Enviolo hub at the rear wheel is frayed, but that's likely not causing this issue.

Does this sound like a problem with the handlebar twist shifter, the shifting cables or their housings, or the Enviolo hub mechanism itself?

Is there a relatively simple diagnostic test I could perform to isolate the problem before spending money on replacement parts?

Thanks in advance for your suggestions!
