    Will this work on a hardtail mountain bike if the BB to tire distance is in range?

    My Bafang Ultra Mountain Bike! Frey AM1000

    I'm in Seattle and about to place an order to place an order for the AM1000. Would anybody be interested in a Group Buy for the PNW?

    I'm in Seattle and would be interested if you two haven't ordered yet.

    My Bafang Ultra Mountain Bike! Frey AM1000

    I'm considering one of these bikes. How does one customize a bike? I see a bunch on Alibaba, but I don't see any way to customize. Of the bikes on Alibaba, they seem to range from 2200 - $3800 before shipping, but I don't see much difference in the specs for many of them. What am I missing?

    Seattle Commuter/Trail Build

    Yeah, I'm thinking I may pony up for the BBSHD, just for the ease of installation and completeness of the kit. It's an extra $400 or so, but it would probably save me hours of screwing around with electronic connectors and such. Do you have yours "hot-rodded" to achieve 38mph or is that at 750W?

    Seattle Commuter/Trail Build

    When I go to purchase anything from the cyclone-tw website I get shipping charges of 100x the price of the item....So that $469 kit doesn't fit my budget. It looks like it would be $439 shipped from Luna for the 3k kit though....not bad, though they don't include brake sensors or PAS.

    Seattle Commuter/Trail Build

    Don't you need a special frame to use the 4kw/coaxial version? It doesn't look like it's compatible with a typical BB shell. I believe the Bafang Ultra would also require some machining and custom mounts, right? If there's one thing I'd like to avoid it's that sort of thing. I don't mind...

    I was looking at the Cyclone on Luna Cycle. Where is the 4kw available? Can I get it without incurring high shipping costs? I'm not too worried about noise as long as it doesn't sound like a gas motor or anything crazy.

    Seattle Commuter/Trail Build

    I'm looking to build a relatively cheap mid-power (1500W or more) mid-drive. I don't think I'd need to ever go much over 35mph, but I suppose it's hard to know for sure. I have a Bike (Cannondale Cujo 2) that's got 27.5x2.8" tires and decent components (Disc Brakes, 1x11 drivetrain). It's...

    "New" Polaris E-Bike

    I think the motor may be lacking, but the frame could be a good one. A poster on another forum said he put a luna cyclone into it and it's amazing...So I'm thinking I get a cheap e-bike for now and once the battery goes I upgrade with a cyclone kit and better battery.

    "New" Polaris E-Bike

    What I'm hoping to gain insight into is, how bad is it if the company behind your e-bike goes out of business? Obviously, you lose any warranty, and if something goes wrong you're more or less on your own. Are the proprietary parts impossible to replace/repair or is it fairly manageable? Or...

    "New" Polaris E-Bike

    Someone on craigslist near me is selling "new" and "like new" Polaris E-bikes for $750-$1000. The Polaris e-bike is division is defunct, but was purchased by "Power In Motion" bicycles, and they sell batteries that are supposedly compatible with Polaris e-bikes, but they charge $499 for a...
