Sweet! Hopefully NJ state will follow suit. As covered in detail in this lengthy thread, the speed comments in the article are uninformed. Downhill and level, non-e can and often does go faster. Uphill, no one is going 20 mph.

Dunno, I just ride it. Seems to work fine. Battery is in downtube so I think the location guess is correct. They claim their shock / rear triangle architecture is some patented s***, whatever.

It’s all about the ride! This video (I like text better but these guys are pretty good) has comparative sales stats and an interesting interview with Specialized founder. Short answer, yes and no:

My OA from 1989, sans funky dropper, ugly ass seat. Carbon Fiber Kestrel MX-Z! Deore XT, triple rings, 24T granny, thumbies, caliper brakes, 26" rims. Strapless toe clips! A screamer back in the day. Gimmee that ebike love, tired of hucking up hills. then: now (stock photo). Deore XT drive...

Just an enthusiast who wants to share the love. No connection to sales/distro, I'm an IT guy. check out Voltaire Cycles in Denville, I got my Atom-X there. Rail trail bikes are much less expensive than MTBs and they have a nice selection. Good peeps and good service. I've been a biker for over...

Oops just looked at the link, didn't realize it was a mid-drive. I think most of my comments still apply and Bafang is not a market leader in mid-drive (yet). Hmmm.

Not likely for MTB. Watch EMBN. The Europeans are driving the market. Demand is for lighter, not faster (they are limited to 15mph!), and looks and acts like a traditional MTB. Turbo Levo (one of the market leaders) is great example. 2019 aluminum model is lighter than 2018 carbon model. Bigger...

This is mostly right - an eMTB still requires plenty of effort. Ebikes are not magically faster and do not amplify stupidity (I’m talking mid-drive trail bike). I have ridden e and non-e extensively and own both. Hub drive bikes in town (worthless on trails - type 2 with throttle) have some...

already did. sling in hand (or rather hand in sling.) not serious or particularly painful, but puts my left wing out of commission. class 3.

got it thanks! now I just separated my shoulder (endo on lumpy bumpy) so out of commish for a few weeks. will pass the info to my buddy.

Take two aspirin and cross your fingers. I’m not that kind of doctor.

Hey, newb question. Didn’t see a super-obvious place to post, so I’ll try this thread. A friend of mine and I ride Allamuchy a lot (Stephens, others). We’re both JORBA members. We actually stumbled across a small JORBA team near Lumpy Bumpy on Saturday. We’d love to pitch in but it seems really...

Hah. Just a funny name a friend of mine gave me in college, because I'm always fixing stuff (at that time, bicycles.)

Here, here. Joined the forum to provide an e-biker's perspective. I may actually fall into your elderly category (at least I qualify for AARP membership) and I'm probably more than a little lame (figuratively, not literally). I ride with e and non-e folks, we're all very experienced riders...

Olympic athlete vs. former pro freestyle rider Chris Smith on a world cup course. All your questions are answered.

Hi all: Been mountain biking since 1986, Santa Fe Ski Basin, on a Kestrel MX-Z (26" carbon fiber no suspension). Been in NJ for about 17 years, riding a full suspension all-mountain eMTB since last year. I know that's real conversation starter here, hoping to provide some insight and advocacy...
