YamaHead

It really depends on what Pedal-Assist level you're on & how much throttle is used @ those levels. Top speed with pedal-assist is 28mph....which is more than Yamaha's ebikes. Yamaha has been making ebikes since '93 & I seriously looked into getting one....until I ran across this Beast w/ better specs, & suspenders...for less than half the price.

Battery technology is always improving...

Seem to remember something about 30+ hrs.

That title oughta get Pete's attention.... But to his dismay, my new Mullet is NOT on top of my head.... it's actually the model name of this 2024 CyberBike eMtB I treated myself to just before Christmas. Most Emtb's crank around 85nm of torque as a typical spec....this gem puts out 130nm of torque....it get's right with the program! It comes with a 29" front wheel while the rear is a 27.5".....so, following dirtbike type geometry more & more. I had to cough up an extra $348 for an electronic LH shifter, which I should have early next week. Then I can finish off stream-lining the handlebar to make it a bit easier to operate w/ my hook. With 4-piston hydraulic calipers @ both ends....anodised hubs, 34mm fork, & a 1x10 gearset....there won't be much of anyplace this beast can't tackle. Better brakes than all 25 motorcycles I've owned! Thing'll stop as well as it goes... It even came with tools to finish the assembly process. It has 5 pedal-assist levels that can also be operated with a LH thumb throttle....so I should be able to ride UP my steep driveway....sitting down on the saddle.

Those turn indicators definitely don't look factory.... Fun lookin' ride--

Snowed again last night....just a dusting though. Gonna try & sort out the new ride this weekend.

Hardley's do have some of the nicest factory paint in the business....

Here's a background for ya....might just have to take another with my new ride....for next month's BIKEotm....

Hardleys are ridden by decrepit old farts that can't get out of their own way...

Brand Y just keeps diminishing....Race track bikes & NO more snowmobiles! What's the world coming to?

Same here mate....I think I was more prone to it than most as I've been on ski's since I 4y/o....sort of a junkie for the snow. Riding in ALL sorts of weather, especially winter, can be a rather sobering experience in finding out just how BadAss you think you are @ Riding!

Had some great rides in the fog over the years.....especially when you arrive @ your destination, get off the bike & proceed to shed a layer of ice off the leathers.

The difference between a Hardley & a Hoover.....the Hardley can carry (2) dirtbags.

My favorite dish that my wife has perfected....Chicken Tortilla Soup!

Definitely recognize that chap.... Great to see ya again Lyn!

Smart Man!.... Tuning Forks RULE

Especially when I can ride UP my steep driveway....sitting down!........ Read 'em & weep--

You are correct sir.....I flipped the twist shifter over to the left side, so it shifts backwards, but wasn't hard to get used to. I also added a hydraulic front brake caliper...Best upgrade I've ever done....It'll put you on your head! Also added a MegaRange sprocket gear set to the rear along w/ oversized Michelin tires. Just got an email today informing me of my new eBike that has been shipped....me anxiously waiting.

17f here this morning....nice & clear....definitely Riding today!

Nice report Russ.... definitely reminds me of some rides I did central OR

Kickin' off the weekend with the usual Friday night Tequila shooting with the missus... Definitely in prep for our 2nd Anniversary on Monday

Pete's kryptonite has raised it's ugly head again... We had 32f & snowing....won't stick around long though.

Interesting the route that Zook has taken in the past few years....

Now why does that NOT surprise me?....
