Trail riding running the dogs w/ an e-mtb.

jpullen88, You can't go wrong with Dogman's advise. He can speak lingo with the best of them but he doesn't need to, he's very clear on your options. It worked for me and I couldn't be happier on his recommendations!

Replaced my front hub with a rear hub and soon realized it was not going to work for early spring trails. The problem is snow patches. Pedaling was no help since all the power was coming from the rear anyways. I got home and immediately switched back to the front hub setup, Went out the next...

Electress, are you by chance related to or connected with Electro. If so, then I would consider your opinion a bit biased.

I did my research and recently bought 2 ebike kits through the recommendations of forum members that, I believe, know enough to make a valued decision. As it turned out, I couldn't be more satisfied. Sure there are still parts I need to make it work especially when dealing with a more recent FS...

I checked w/ my LBS and he immediately said yeah he has one for me, I'll ask if he has another one, if so I'll pick it up and PM you if you wish. $25 + shipping

Just finished my first ebike and thanks to Roger, Jason and Justin and especially the knowledgeable gang here on ES. Your recommendations were spot on from day 1 and it made my choice and build as smooth as butter. I went with the front hub kit from Ebikekit.com and some accessories from...

That Ellsworth is cool but I much prefer your bike for stealth factor. That Ellsworth is too Optibikeish certain to draw attention. EGM, how is your rack attached near the axle?

Extreme I also have the shimano deore xt crankset which is 22/32/44 teeth. You say you replaced the 44 with a 48t and it worked. Would it be possible to setup your crankset with the existing rings to 32/44/48 ?

Great setup Moos, Is that mounted on aluminum forks?
