[QUOTE="08mojo, post: 16593878, member: 132915"] All those bike you listed are great! I am a bit biased to Ibis, but can't go wrong with Transition or Revel. I will say, the customer service of Ibis is ridiculously good. I have had a couple of issues, due to my own stupidity, and have always received a reply in a short time (typically within an hour or two) from the owner of Ibis--even on the weekends. Again, big fan of Ibis. I've had 6 of their bikes: Mojo SL (hence my screen name), Mojo 3, Ripley V3 (x2, one is the wife's), Ripley V4 and Ripmo V1. I recently picked up a Specialized Turbo Levo. I was not a supporter of eBikes, but we spend a lot of time in the mountains where 20 mile rides (which isn't much until...) with 4k+ feet of climbing is normal. The climbing comes in chunks of 800 to 1000 feet at a time. To get back to our place alone is an 850 foot climb in 3/4 of a mile--it sucks. eMTB is definitely the future. It's not going away, and I can see why. No, they are not. The majority of federal trails are open to class 1 electric bikes. You will see some big pushes for electric bike classifications. Class 1 is what I have. It is only an assist, it's not something you can twist the throttle and enjoy the ride. I burned over 1400 calories on my last ebike ride... Just like every other hobby, you gotta pay to play. In cars it's cheap, fast and reliable: pick two. In bikes it's cheap, light and reliable: pick two. [/QUOTE]
