Remsen Campfire Tracker R Joined: Feb 2010 Posts: 3,274 406 and 972	Does that thing really weigh close to 80 lbs??? I ride a Santa Cruz Heckler (pre-eBike version) and it weighs a CH under 30 lbs. I understand that the assist on the eBike makes the increased weight less of an issue, but I'm wondering what it's like when you're bombing down a trail and have that much weight taxing the suspension and other parts. So, my question is, how does it ride on technical trails? [I bought my wife an eBike last year and tried it out...the tech is amazing and I am not anti eBike, just wondering what it's like off road]. Eliminate qualified immunity and you'll eliminate cops who act like they are above the law.

Yes............79# I mainly bought it for the plain ole fun of bike ridin'......and exercise Running 16 PSI...which seemed like a few too many when I was in the dirt testing it out I'd call it a happy medium for what it offers at the $1750 price point The Cobra Pro has full suspension but is also $4K Which would be better suited for the young buck jock raising hell in the dirt https://himiwaybike.com/products/softail-electric-mountain-bike T R U M P W O N !

I'm on the side of wanting an E bike that is basically the weight of an average heavy MTB. The assist being used minimally on hills. I don't like the idea of handling that much weight without assist. If the bike is so heavy as to be unrideable without assist, I would move over to gas power. Yea, gas would be twice as much money but not on the used market and I'm skeptical of long-term cost to maintain VS a good gas engine. The way Tikka rids and uses it, it may be just the thing. You just got to buy what suits you. Last edited by RHClark; 07/21/23.
