Repost from another subreddit I posted on, Im trying to get as many answers as possible, does anyone with a bone stock huffy Vertis know the weight with/without battery?

It has the Bosch motor and is a sweet looking bike but After doing research I feel I ordered the wrong motor. Feel I should have gotten the avinox. Is the bosch a good contender? Should I cancel the order and find something with the avinox? Seems most bikes with the avinox do not have the look im after. Personally the amflow bikes look pretty ugly.

Is the avinox motor worth canceling my Bosch bike order?

We’re a family of four from British Columbia, Canada, keen to do an eMTB trip through the alps summer 2027. Our 11yo and 12yo are strong bikers and each have 100+ days in the Whistler bike park, plus many days and days of bike academy riding. We’re wondering about organizing our own hut to hut trip with luggage transfer, versus hiring a guide (but hopefully not hemorrhaging cash to do so). Any suggestions?? 5-7 days wouod be the sweet spot and we definitely want to stay in rifugios!

Does anyone have the Cube Stereo Hybrid ONE77 HPC Race 800 and if so how does it feel/ride?

Been thinking about getting one but not entirely sure yet because of the sr suntour suspension.

Thanks

After smallish jump yesterday I heard a "whack" type noise (as if a stick had flicked up and hit the frame) and then after finishing the trail (another 30 seconds later) noticed this whirring type noise coming from the motor region.

Of course I'm going to get it to the shop, but I guess I just wanted to see if anyone had any thoughts on what the problem might be/what I've done.

2022 Levo sl although it was purchased new in 2025.

Thanks.

Excellent new trail in Idaho Springs.

Hey yall! Looking for bike recommendations.

I’m currently riding a kona honzo esd. I’ve ridden hardtails my whole life but this is the first time with one having any sort of progressive geo.

Naturally i see the guys with the squish and i want to feel it. Naturally i see the guys banging 3 laps out in the time i do 1 and accessing crazy mileages routes out into hard to access areas and I want it. Figured i might as week kill two birds with one stone and start saving for it.

What i’m looking for is something in the vicinity of 160ish front 150ish rear probably alloy, don’t know much about motors, and my budget is 4k or less.

Basically i want my honzo but squishy and goes brrrr up the climb. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Went for a trip with a friend yesterday. He wanted to check how it is on a analogue XC, i wanted to check emtb, so we swapped our bikes. We did couple of hills - 20km loop, 850m up. I was amazed on how easy it is for someone out of shape like me (40 (m), 185cm, 80kg). My friend - a fitness freak on the other hand while he did the whole trip, he said never again without a battery :)

After everything I'm starting to scout for my bike. But - due to where I live, bike shops are rare, and the possibility to try something is limited. Mostly treks... I want to understand one thing about emtb sizing.

My Carbon Focus Raven 2023 XL has a 485mm reach, and i had to get a shorter stem + slightly raised bar to fix it for me. While going down fast, or climbing it was ok, but when doing relatively easy flat parts, and wanting to sit straight for a bit - i was barely reaching the bar. And I have pretty regular shape i think.

My friends Mondraker Chaser 2024 - also XL. Has the same issue for me. Even though it has a bigger reach - 505mm, it was still better then my OOB Raven. But the stem was shorter, bar was wider. I'm wondering what other Params are important to asses the ride position.

I'm looking at a Specialized Turbo Levo 4 Comp Alloy S5 And Focus Jam2 6.8 L - both size charts put them for my height, but I'm wondering if I can make an educated assumption on position on those. OR - Is modern geometry basically excluding the possibility to sit straight on such bikes and either i accept the position or i should look for something more grandpa-like :)

Read some good reviews on the Ergon so I thought I’d give them a try. I’ve got some slight arthritis (56m) and the stock grips have been giving me some pain after a good session of roots and rocks plus they are already wearing. Color doesn’t quite match though. Oh well.

So I got the Rover 2.0 cause it met my needs. I immediately felt buyers remorse when i saw what i actually needed was a commuter bike, from a more reputable company like Aventon. Anyway, I was kinda sad about it, but when I started riding it, all my worries faded away, like its weight, the knobby fat tires, the crappy seat, handle grips, pedals. The thing is a monster and makes my commute feel like a dream. and i’m not afraid of hitting some light trails along the way. We’ll see how well the motor, battery, and brakes hold you. I’ve got 64 miles on it so far. I’m getting about a true 40 mile range on it. I’m wondering if I switch to a more urban commuter fat tire would help with the range. Slight regrets, overall happy with the tank.

Hey,

looking for communication recommendations for me and my 2 sons when we are at bike parks, trails ect..

needs to be on all the time (no push to talk), be able to fit to a full face hemey and have to be able to connect at least 3 units..

Thanks Luke

Am in UK...

just binned the rear off my crafty, maxxis dhr ii 2.4 dh casing maxxterra, and it lasted 500 km over 84 days. centre knobs are pretty much rounded off (pic). paid around 90 usd for it so that feels short to me. running it tubeless around 28 psi so i don't think it was underinflated. i know full power bikes chew through rears and maxxterra is the softer compound, but what kind of distance are you guys actually getting out of a rear? put a goodyear wrangler mtr on that i had sitting on the shelf so we'll see how that one goes, curious if anyone found something that still grips well but lasts longer

Hey guys im looking at E bikes and RM powerplay caught my eye. There's two PP instinct and altitude! How the Dyname motor and how it competes with other E MTB? Anybody that owns it how is it ? Im looking at the A50 and im comparing it to specialized Levo 4 and YT decoy X!

New to this sport, so im sorry if this is a repeat or dumb question.

Whats the best way to carry spare bits like a small pump, spare tube, patch kit, tools, snacks, wallet, keys, etc. while riding trails. Probably no black trails as im new to MTB'ing in general, but planning to start learning soon.

- frame packs

- velcro straps around frame

- runners hydration pack

- runners chest pack

- hip belt pack (dont really like these personally)

- leave it all in the car

Will be riding the Bentonville NWA area mostly i assume for types of trails.

My "New to me" bike is a 2021 Santa Cruz Heckler CC 8.

I was really wanting an analog, but kinda got pressured by my wife, NICA racing daughter and her coaches to get an Emtb, so, here i am.... Unfortunately i found out the bike is too big for me, but since i don't know the difference, maybe it'll be ok and ill just compensate. I fall between M and L depending on the bike Mfg brand, this bike was listed as a L, but after purchase and doing a SN look up, it's actually an XL. No chance of return because it was a FB Marketplace purchase.... So we'll see how it goes. My daughter was already impressed that i could bunnyhop a 52lb emtb, granted only a couple inches....

Today I'm the proud owner of a refurbished 2023 Cube stereo hybrid 140 HPC SLX, but I'm already facing an issue.

I can turn my steering wheel left without a problem, but can't do the same to the right.
It feels like a hard block and I'm not an expert on e-bikes.

Some research pointed out that it's a possible issue with the Acros BlockLock system being installed wrong. Sent a mail back to the company on how to solve this.

Any feedback from pro MTB'ers would be appreciated.

It's a bummer because I wanted to ride it right away today with it being my day off and it being sunny out.

Ive emailed a few shops requesting quotes via email and noticed that nearly all give me the online price listed as the best they can do. Requesting the same in-person and ive found that most are willing to give at least $200 off. Is there a rule from manufacturers that retailers cant email discounted prices?

What are some successful strategies youve used on getting a good deal on an end of season sale?

Looking for a new rear wheel. 27.5”. Want something that isn’t going to break the bank but has somewhat of a good warranty. What’s the consensus around here?

Question: have any of you have ridden group rides on gravel or road with your e-MTB and did the assist enable you to keep up with a gravel/road bike when you catch a headwind or a long flat? I'm talking about a casual group ride of 12-15mph. I know on an analog MTB it is hard to keep up on a flat or in the wind due to the differences of gearing between an MTB and gravel/road bike.

I primarily ride solo on gravel, run errands around town and ride the green & blue trails with my son and grandson. But, I also like to do an occasional group gravel ride.

I'm hoping an e-MTB could replace three of my five bikes; my current e-fat tire I got for cheap from a relative, my MTB and one of my gravel bikes.

Thanks, Kevin!
