And wiring harnesses fail on ebikes even from major manufacturers. If you manufacture bikes you should have some way for customers to get repair parts easily. Most ebike riders who buy a complete bike are not going to repair their bikes on their own let alone source parts for it. 

I wasn't implying that you need a hub motor tube but that the 20×3 inch tube is not commonly kept in most bike shops since it's a odd ball size

Their pretty fucking heavy. Anything with a rear hub motor usually is. 

I feel the need to weigh in on this as I am a bicycle mechanic. More specifically I am my shop’s ebike mechanic. Putting a Rad ebike together is pretty easy, especially if you come from an automotive back ground. The real issue with these wide tire hub motor ebikes is when you get a flat. While popping out the old…

What would be the benefit of buying this over a Specialized ebike since they both use brose motors?

You should have seen if you could have got Specialized to let you borrow a Creo. It's an electric road bike that can get 120 miles of range with the optional range extender and offers assist up to 28mph. It could definitely handle your daily commuting duties.

You should pick up a sram nx eagle 1×11 or 1x12 drivetrain for it. The nx level doesn't require an xd driver hub so it should make for an easy conversion 

Toyota's gonna build it's own city..., with hookers and blackjack 

I thought the same thing when I first moved to Austin

I was working at a Nissan dealership when the GTR came out, our dealership tried to sell the two we got for 140k each. The sticker was 75k.

I used to live in Blue Ridge Georgia and commute to Mableton Georgia, just on the west side of Atlanta. On a good day it would take only 2 and a half hours. I worked an overnight shift and would get caught in construction making the drive take 3 to 4 hours at times.

The real victims are the bar staff at Applebees 

It became the murano 

Is it good at representing it's Ohio-ness?

Well, two can play at that game. I won't be building any one off request car for them then

Move closer to where you work, save both money and time.

Cool, now the truck gets to have it's own mullet 

I think a lot of people are forgetting that if the buyer lives somewhere where it snows infrequently it’s not going to be between Awd and all season tires vs. 2wd and snow tires. It’s more than likely going to be Awd and all seasons vs. 2wd and all seasons. With the first time the buyer thinks about getting snow tires…

I'll stop if it looks like they're having difficulty with the situation. I keep a lot more tools in my car then most people. But if they've got it under control, especially in bad weather I'll let them be. Nothing worse that trying to fix something on the side of the road on a rainy 34 degree day than having to stop…

Neutral, short term fix buy the tooling for the 2010 forester from Subaru, throw a Cadillac emblem on the front. Long term fix- there is none
