YamaHead Posted March 1, 2024 Share Posted March 1, 2024 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. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nute Posted March 2, 2024 Share Posted March 2, 2024 That looks really nicely made, sadly it’s prob illegal in this country where the government decide what’s best for us all. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It depends on the level of assistance, the terrain and battery capacity, Pete. I use mine on Eco mode most of the time, which is the minimum amount of assistance, and mine has a 500W battery, so I probably need to charge it up every 100-120kms with the riding I do around here. That's enough for me though. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn’t it make sense to use more assist, and then push as hard as normal but going twice as fast for the same effort? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The terrain & 50 lbs. of weight come into play there somewhere.... Sensibility vs. real-world results I guess. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's enough for me though. That kind of distance ride without an internal combustion engine to power you is more than enough for any red blooded human being. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The assist only works up to 25km/h, so above that it's all down to you! I guess that it also depends what you want out of it. Personally, I want the exercise, but sometimes need a bit of assistance up the hills or against a headwind, otherwise I'd just use my non-ebike. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YamaHead Posted March 29, 2024 Author Share Posted March 29, 2024 After spending this month attending to domestic maintenance.... just rode UP to the top of my steep driveway, sitting down....in 7th gear- on PA level 3. Still gotta install the electronic shifter & tighten up a few fasteners...but just about got the brake pads enbed'd. Gonna pump the shock up a bit as well. Might just have to do a ride report tomorrow.... My sore, piss-poor excuse for feet are mucho appreciative of this Beast that's an absolute blast to ride! 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
