I’ve thought of buying two for the kids. Then I can have the Ruckus to myself.


They make those sound really good. Could you get a solar battery charger for them that would work while you're out hunting away from the bike all day?


I couldn’t say. He lives in Vermont so only had short outings for experience.

Think four hours or so.


I'd have to throw a long cable lock through the spokes of both wheels for security because it sounds like it might be too heavy to throw over the bank into the brush to hide for the day.

Santa Cruz VP-Free with BBSHD. Easy to build yourself. Find a 10 year old downhill bike and in 2 hours you'll have a great ebike.

Don't like the ergonomics of that style. I must be getting old.

My sister bought one and I rode it down the street and back this Saturday. It was a hoot and now I want one. The really funny part is when I was riding back I passed a guy who looked just like Lance Armstrong.

Bought the wife a Rambo Rambler. small 20" fat tire ebike.
Fun as hell to ride - it is 1.2 miles to mail box and back and I usually make two to three trips just to get the dogs good and tired.
my peddle cadence is about the same as I would on my trek fat tire bike but the ebike is going 20mph. One ends up riding farther and getting more exercise just because of the
grin factor.
Trying to decide which one I will get for myself. Fat tire and full suspension are two of my criteria
Not sure what the status of the bill is but one has been floated to give credit on your taxes about the same % as putting in a solar system.

$660 for the bbshd at lunacycle, $470 for the bbs02 which may be enough for smaller riders. Plus a battery.

Its a dropper seatpost. For actual mountain biking, when going steep downhill you can lower the seat so you can get your butt behind the seat so you don't go over the handlebars. For all other riding, the normal high seat position gives efficient pedaling. The cable goes to a thumb switch on the handlebar that actuates the seat movement. Once you ride with one its hard to go without one.
