    Happy Pedaling 😂 👍. What color is your Spandex? I've come close to beating up my brother senseless when he wears that gay shit lol...

    His wife actually thinks he looks sexy in them...I laugh and roll my eyes... she's actually pretty cool and has a sense of humor

    Don't own any.

    Well then maybe it's time for you to zip it.?

    This is suiting my needs just fine so far.... If I decide to start racing off-road I will consider what you have said. Thnx for the input 😆God.... What a bunch of putz's : LMAO.

    You're welcome 👍

    You know so little about me 😆

    I rode dirt bikes for many years, Yes it was a great workout, similar to riding a sled pretty hard through the twisties.........

    Sorry to inform you, But I'm pretty far from being 6 ft under as you seem to be under the impression .... But I'm loving this fresh air and the feeling of being alive again that you statedlol

    .... Trust me I ain't worried about anybody wearing spandex,.. to me they will just be more fun to twist up into a pretzel.

    .. I'll do 40 to 50 on the roads all day long if I want. But I will be getting stickers from Amazon to cover up the 2000 watt hub motors. I got the evil eye from a cop yesterday when doing 42 in a 35 zone. Two strikes against me, going way over the 28mph limit for e-bikes and speeding in a 35mph zone. Cop didn't pull me over but I bet he would have if I was a punky kid......I still have that punky kid attitude at times but no longer have the look 😆....the benefit of being a little older.

    ..... Not familiar with your elite biker lingo when you say "double century"

    I know exactly what's going on,... you bikers that spent 3, 4, 5 times or more on your bikes are having a hard time accepting that my little budget e-bike will outperform yours.....at least on the roads, ..which is what I primarily bought it for. Unless you can do 50mph sustained for miles on end.....I will be leaving you in my fat tires dust. lol

    This thing just continues to impress....did 22.miles yesterday and came back with 53.5 volts left. Nearly 70% battery capacity. Still trying to get a good gauge on what distance I can travel but I figure 60 to 80 miles on a charge at PAS on 3.....which keeps a continuous 21mph. With some top speed runs mixed in and dual motors engaged for some steeper hills. Wow! 👍

    I will be taking a trip to the BIL about a 120 mile round trip, so I'm hoping with a spare battery I will be able to do it.

    If this is your definition of POS.....then count me in....I'm loving it!!👍.

    No, just no. Absolutely not. Nothing like riding a sled on trails, at all. Maybe if you're sitting down puttering around on two track. But judging off your choice of bike that's probably what you did. Which again, is fine. We're just very far apart on things.

  4. Riding dirt bikes on trails takes a lot more energy, cardio, and strength than a MTB, so you should probably just avoid trails altogether.

    Might not be a good next quarter either. Lot's of Sea Doos sitting on the local dealers lot. Haven't seen that in a long time. Also have a Sea Doo. Looks like folks have bolted their wallets tight

    Read an article in a major paper that now may be the time to buy something in the power sports industry. Glut of product resulting in good discounts and financing terms

    We haven't hit the bottom yet

    .... Maybe you're right..

    But my intent was never to be a hardcore bicyclist or e-bike rider for that matter. My brother on the other hand is a hardcore street bicyclist.. goes on incredibly long rides. I probably could have gotten a lot of information about bikes in general from him. I always bust his chops about how much I hate bicyclists on the road.

    I bought this e-bike on a whim and spur of the moment. I couldn't believe how cheap it was. And I had seen a couple e-bikes riding around my area and it looked like fun... So I said what the hell.

    Lmao.. You guys think I'm ready for the grave .too funny.... Getting out for some fresh air and feel alive again...WTF? 😂. Dude I just retired a year ago from UPS after 35 years of busting my ass..... When's the last time you saw a fat lazy out of shape UPS guy?..... I wasn't no pencil pusher , trust me. And I still workout religiously with weights with all the spare time I have now. I really did not get this bike for exercise..... I'm just bored and I want to have a little fun with something different.

    And you're exactly right ....for the type of riding I plan on doing This fills the need in spades. I've heard of Shimano before. That's what the gears are on this bike.... So it can't be all that bad?..... I also had a Shimano fishing reel years ago.. 😆

    But yeah I'm not too concerned about the quality of the parts if it gets me from point A to point B and fun in doing so. Plus a one-year warranty on virtually any part except tires. I really don't think I went wrong.

    Man, you purists are something else But I hear what you're saying. All good 👍.... I just really hope I don't become one..ugh 😩. . ....

    I remember when I was into fishing and would buy all the latest and greatest reels and rods.....but give me my old Zebco I had as a kid and I was just as happy and probably even caught more fish... 😂

    .

    It's all good. It's not so much about being a purist it's just when you start saying you will whoop on people with that bike, you're just way off base and don't know what you don't know. Sure maybe on a paved bike path for a limited range, so would a 50cc moped or car for that matter. And just because you're not obese doesn't mean you're in shape, if you're so avoidant to pedaling a bike our definitions of in shape are likely pretty different, which is ok but I digress.

    And besides the seat that would bother your bony ass......why is this a POS in your opinion?..... I own it ...I know how it rides I know how it's built And I know it absolutely flies for an e-bike. . What's your problem with it? .. I guess I'll get like you and not quote anymore at least not to you.... You're so special kiss.

    ... And you're just talking out your ass anyway..... You have no idea what this bike is about. Virtually everyone that has bought this bike has a favorable review.

    While I don't doubt that.. the people that own a bike like this are people like you, noobs to bikes that have no standards, extreme entry level people. What makes a bike is the components. Your suspension is not worth the weight it carries, it's only there to check off a box for entry level buyers when they're comparing and buying on the internet. Your shifters, derailleurs, crank, brakes, etc etc, component level is what makes a bike. Like I said your bike is fine for your use, a retired person to putter around on paths and get some fresh air and feel alive again. Congrats. It's an entry level, or sub entry level for most bike people. You would not do well on a proper single track MTB trail with it. You've never even rode a proper single track.

    This is all fine BTW. Enjoy your bike for what it is. But it's not what it's not. We do have an idea what the bike is about, if you're into bikes it's easy to see what it's about.

    Why would it be? You could go physically go look at the stuff. At the end of the day, when most of those zero mile race sleds weren’t that expensive when new so buying one to collect was affordable.

    It wouldn't be. People are just dumb and can't fathom that there are rich people willing to pay for things they want. 30 grand for a sled is a long ways from the trailer park

  9. The condition to accepting the bet was putting money down with a third party because I knew he'd never pay if he lost and likely doesn't even have $1,000 to his name. Last I checked, he was too afraid to do that.

    He was too busy talking in circles for weeks about escrow.com and signed/notarized documents.

    And now he's just mad. There's nothing better on the internet than a low IQ person trying to troll and they're the only one who is ever mad. Literally his existence here. Thank you AK.
