    The only bike (of mine) still in the house. A LaMere 5" fat bike hardtail carbon. Onyx hubs, Lauf carbon fork, titanium eeWings cranks, full XTR (rear-D is XT). 26lbs in a size large. The only regret is the price paid, but it's a blast.

    since we are on the topic. Bought this in August. I live in Hawaii and my father is an avid cyclist. We have a huge trail system right next to us on the mountain and ride mountain bikes everyday. But recently got into the electric bikes and they are so much fun. 32mph!

    What it's like for a 6' bloke and long legs to ride one of them?
    Would knees hit your chin?

    that was a huge concern. Surprisingly the bike looks bigger in person and 6ft is fine, no hitting knees.

    The only downfall of this bike is the smaller sized thicker tires. While I do ride it on the trails it’s definitely not as fluid as a regular mountain bike, even with front and rear suspension. It’s more suited for flat dirt and roads. Extremely fun and fast tho, and a head turner.

    I would bet I could wheelie that thing for a city block. Those rear hub motors are perfect for wheelies... so much torque. No weight on the front end.
