I loaded my 250ish lb dirtbike on a hitch carrier once when I somehow managed to leave the ramp sitting at home in my driveway. I lifted the front end up and got it partially secured, then lifted the back. I wouldn't want to make a habit of it, but it wasn't too bad. How heavy are these e-bikes that a ramp is needed???

HotBars Introduces the World’s First Heated Bicycle Handlebar
I never "needed" heated grips on my moto until I had them. Let's me use lightweight waterproof gloves in the wet and summer weight gloves when it's cold and dry. So much nicer than bulky winter gloves for grip and control feel when I need it! I have yet to find a winter glove that can handle longer rides when it's cold, even with good wind protection, without being super bulky.

Several Major Bicycle Brands Are Suing Customs and Border Protection After US Supreme Court Ruling Against Tariffs
@bmied31: Tariff's can only work IF they are very carefully targeted and...... you know.... intelligently applied. These willy nilly "I had the idea of tariffs and I'm a smart boy therefore MOAR TARIFFS!" style tariffs were doomed from the beginning.... not to mention, ILLEGAL... It's tremendously frustrating how many people have been hoodwinked by this obvious bullshit. Apply the tiniest bit of common sense, PLEASE.

@mfeyer: Wow. A comment with ZERO understanding of how the economy works. It probably felt good to type it out though. BAM! Owned some Libs!

2025 Pinkbike Awards: Product of the Year Nominees
@pargolf8: I need to understand how the power is delivered. For comparison sake, my Ducati DesertX motorcycle with a 937cc motor can propel it's ~500lbs+me+luggage from 0-60mph in about 3.5 seconds and tops out above 130mph. It only puts out 92Nm of torque... A Honda 450cc motocross bike has less than HALF the torque of this ebike.

Spotted: Bosch is testing an Anti-Lock Braking System for DH - Lenzerheide World Cup 2025
That's actually not true anymore. Basically all the big names in ADV bikes have offroad ABS and TC settings. It's even on KTM and Ducati dirt bikes now. How much it's used in actual races I couldn't tell you, but I've played around with a few bikes that have it, all Bosch systems, and I was pretty surprised how well it works, especially the TC.

Discussion: The UCI Hasn't Banned 32" Wheels Yet, Should They?
29ers came out in 1999 and started competing with 26. There were 27.5 bikes as early as 2007ish, but the conversation was almost entirely 26er vs 29er until at least 2010 and 27.5 wasn't really mainstream for another couple of years.
