I’m your huckleberry. Well, one of the other huckleberries.
I have scant prior ebike experience, but I will say these ride real nice. It’s interesting to contrast with the higher-powered rentals I’ve tried, that seemed like they might be trying to kill me. I can look at all the battery and motor stats, but that doesn’t communicate how important a smooth power delivery and especially the transitions from coasting to pedalling are to how fun the bike is to ride, and how confident I feel on it.
I only have rear hub version at my location, but a mid drive should arrive in the near future.

I’m very excited to try this bike and also to sell a lot of them to make a lot of money for tarckers and myself 😈

I have to say, one of the biggest disappointments of putting together an E-kit is that I really liked it and now I see all these other sweet e-bikes that I’m assuming aren’t quite as janky lol

Really love the xtracycle with the Bosch drive. Interested to try some other motor makers.

I dig my conversion, but probably would just consume a Tern ebike if it needed to be replaced.

I had mine on an aluminum hardtail - I figured the shitty mount was gonna chew the frame a bit but this still hurt to seeIf I decide to remount the motor, I’ll get the Luna brace that straps to the chain stay like a coaster brake lever.
Definitely have that on my steel bikes that have used the bbshd. Not sure if it is just paint or steel is also imprinted.

I have a co-worker who loves and has put a lot of miles on an Electra Townie Go, whatever the 8-speed IGH variant is/was.
Recommended the same to one of my mom’s friends. She liked it on the test ride, but ended up buying a Pedago Interceptor instead (I think because it had a throttle).

So moved in the last couple of years and new commute is 7.5 miles at least and a good chunk of not so fun roads. On the days I work in the office I’d like to get back to riding and am looking at converting my tarck style basket bike to an e-bike. Its a Soma GR V1 but I am kind of wondering if it would be better to go with something with disks

It depends on what sort of motor you want to get shartmo. If you want a throttle operated Bafang that can cruise at 25mph then yeah you probably want hydro discs. On my pedal assist TSDZ-2 set-up I don’t get going _that_ much faster than I used to and I’m typically coasting where I would on a normal bike instead of just hammering it all the time (I already had hydro discs on that bike though so maybe I’m braking harder and don’t notice). A big heavy battery changes that math too.

Part of my wants a bafaang setup but realistically pedal assist would be fine and would not require a new bike.
