MTBNJ might need to add an ebike subforum to showcase builds and keep everything more organized
I'll start: Mine. I'll give specs if and when an actual subforum starts.

yep and thanks. it was hard to pass up. Lenny and I came to what was a good deal for me and hopefully him as well. Good guy. I talked with him for quite a while. I still love my 27# Ibis and it wasn't "replaced" by a long shot but the ebike for me brings new things. I'm a different kind of rider and have different seasonal focuses that keep me from a constant training regiment. I also knew I had the potential to "want" to go down the rabbit hole of obsessing on the new gen of ebikes and spec'ing a cost level that I didn't want to go down. So now I have 4 bikes that I love for certain reasons. It still doesn't hold a candle to how much "purpose" oriented fishing gear I have or so I tell myself. Oh and my wife didn't kill me.....yet.

I'll add an edit. Funny line from my wife. "So this one doesn't have a kick stand either!?" haha
You no longer have 4 bikes. You really just have one bike now but you just don't know it yet.😉
 
a review of a new Bosch race eMTB motor.
Same amount of torque but allows for extended "overun" and instant power when pedaling.
A commenter said, "so they basically took out every safety feature".
This also brings up the question of how much Overun can you have before it's basically a throttle bike?
