[QUOTE="Reelamin, post: 2965762, member: 42157"] I'm not a super e bike fan due to the absolute abuse of what is allowed and the blatant and growing crazy fast illegal use of them. I also own one, and use it a lot scouting areas where it is permitted. The bike does allow me to check my cams, and take a load (80lb) of salt in one long day. When I hiked it in it was a 2-3 day camera/salt check. I have a basic RAD E bike 8sp with "front" suspension $1200. Here is what I have found with mine. Off road to RAD means, graded gravel, or no bumps more than two inches tall. I wont be spending $5K on a full suspension bike with decent ground clearance. Replace the seat with a much more cushioned seat $35. No where enough if I have a load on the bike and my back. This year will be a suspension post for another $100-150 Tannus tire inserts a must have. $150 Lock front suspension or seals will be leaking first real off road ride. Get rid of cheap thin aluminum sprocket guard and replace with metal if you can get one. $50 Replace front bent sprocket with lower gear as impossible to pedel it in off road steep terrain. $20 Decent headlamp so you can illuminate where you are going to go. Remember your MC skills you be looking where your turning to not turning at. $150 Hope it helps a little. [/QUOTE]
