tl;dr - e-bikes basically have limiters for max speed which are apparently easy to override / unlock
This is what's wrong with The Industry™

Thanks. But the Shimano one isn't easy to override/unlock.
Firmware updates mean any odness with magnet placement will throw up an error message and shut it down.
I haven't heard of any hook up to PC hacks for Shimano either.
The only thing I have seen is the plug in electronic hacks that change the signal speeds. These are around £120 so not too expensive but I'd like to know how it effects inputs vs assistance level or if it creates any lag. they basically fool the head unit into thinking the wheel's turning at half the speed. and in Trail/boost there's already a slight lag

Maybe we should just go back to skateboards
nanotubes?Fucking BICYCLES.
Import tuners will soon have Park workstands in their garages. Between putting fart cans on Civics and GTI's they can install chips for better wattage! Lololololol!
Neon lights on your downtube and chainstays! Hahahahahahahahahhahahahhahhahaahahhahahaa !!!
Lololololololol !! The next Fast and Furious will have Vin Desiel racing a WRX on a "tuned" e-bike! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA !!!!!
Rumor has it Ken Block is ditching the Fiesta WRC for the next Gymkana in favor of an e-bike. You heard it here first.
just when you thought it couldn’t get any worse...spokes made out of fucking STRING. i’ll be sure to put them on my bamboo bike. https://m.pinkbike.com/news/newmen-components--first-look.html

slideshows pay the bills
Do they? Don't they need to generate attention and views? Because I'm sure as shit not looking at them.
each new slide impression = new ad impression
same reason why longer texts these days are distributed over several sites
impressive
I don't get it. What's wrong here? That's a sick grom bike!
It's a full carbon DH bike that will likely sell in extremely small quantities. It's not like the smaller size makes the build cost significantly lower. I'd be surprised if they were turning a real profit even at that price.
I'm with @djjohnr on this one. That looks like about $6,875.00 worth of shredy bike to me. Most of the super expensive bikes we make fun of on here are expensive garbage but this is a solid looking rig. Sure not every kid needs it but if your kid is going to slopestyle events and racing DH it would be a lot less expensive than buying two bikes. There are some groms out there who can ride the shit out of a bike like this.
But I bet some ///Monocle ///Monkey will buy this for their kid just teach them the value of having more expensive shit than your peers

It's not 3 bikes in 1. Downhill and bmx are 2 completely different configurations. Not to mention the weight difference. Lol!
You could buy 3 different bikes and it would be cheaper than that overpriced pos. My gravel grinder is a TDF race bike, a gravel grinder and my enduro bike too cause, the industry said so.

Plenty of rich dad mountain bikers out there looking to groom their kid to be the next world cup star. Said kid grows up racing the best equipment money can buy. Only to get his ass handed to him by the former bmx guy who didn't ride a mountain bike until he was 20 years old.
I think that falls under 'Party Favors'According to the packaging, won’t work for weed or pipe
- Tracker for bike theft
- Emergency Space Blanket
- Multi-Tool
- Co2’(s) and Adapter
- Pocket Knife
- Money or Gold Coins
- Water proof lighter/Matches
- Poncho
- Granola Bar and/or a Lollipop
- Party Favors
Why do all of these little full suspension bikes have shitty Fox air shocks? I'm assuming because you can't get a coil light enough? But I don't see a small kid's weight overcoming the stiction of an air shock unless it's an X2 or something similar.
Kids don't care.
that space would only amount to about 2h of party time over hereGhetto fork bung solution:
A trimmed down bottle cap like this fits nicely into a tapered steerer tube to keep "party favours" safe.
