I have plenty of good old bikes. Now that I’m in Oregon there’s tons of awesome trails
To explore for miles and miles .What kind do you have and do you like it ? How many watts? What brand? It’s overwhelming the amount of choices. What don’t you like about your bike.
Thanks …

I know I’m off topic for mountain bikes


Moto-compacto

But I’ve been eyeing this
Comes out in November
And matches my motocompo in the garage
So feeding my mini bike habit that seems to know no bounds

After having both my knees reconstructed due to taking an unexpected bump on something similar, I wouldn't.


Those electric motors are really torquey and all the "mini" designs I have seen have you basically on top of the rear wheel like a unicycle. Small bump on the front wheel puts all your weight behind the rear wheel and the torque of the motor shoots the bike out in front of you.

Not fun to be moving though the air at 20mph with nothing under you
