    The velotric is the perfect off road bike, not to bomb around like a regular mountain bike, but just camping and out in the woods, transitioning from road to rough off road. Ramblas is by far my favorite.

    Thanks guys. Great reviews! I went with the Ramblas. Way too much bang for the buck to pass up

    Good video! I'm getting into more mellow trails and gravel bike paths now. Less technical blue as well as green trails are mostly what I will be riding now. I'm getting older and actually need the assistance on climbs to help keep the heart rate under control. I just bought the Marlin+ 8 in purple and will be picking it up Saturday. For me the Trek is a no compromise bike out of the gate. Nothing "needs" upgrading, but if or when I want to upgrade I can get high end components easily for this bike. 29 x 2.6" set up tubeless should make a super comfortable ride for a hard tail. So yeah, eMTB hardtails are not just for people getting into the sport and can't afford a full suspension bike yet. It's also for people like myself who are winding down from the technical stuff and gradually moving to single track and gravel bike paths, where a full suspension is overkill really. I'm not getting rid of my Fuel EX just yet though. lol

      Thanks! Yes those are good use cases for a hardtail E-MTB for sure!

    Great video of an often overlooked segment of eMTBs.

    I bought the Ramblas about 4 months ago and I have been having a blast with it! For me, the Ramblas had the best subset of base features, with lots of room for upgrades.
    I've ridden hard tails my whole life, and I eat up blue trails on this thing, and even leave my buddy on a full suspension Santa Cruz in the dust frequently. It's about the rider after all!
    The Ramblas also looks the best with it's hand painted colorways, and weld lines? What weld lines? The other brands gave zero F's about fit and finish, and it shows!

      You bought it at the right time! The price is much higher now! Did you buy it mail order or from a dealer? If a dealer, were you charged a fee for assembly? Thanks!

    Been debating between the Aventon or the Trek Marlin or Powerfly. I really like the idea of the Aventon but the fork set up is what is holding me back I feel st that price point they really need a lock out fork.

    A dealer near me has a new old stock Turbo Tero 3.0 for $1799! Seems like a crazy good deal to pass up, if a rider is looking for that 70/30 bike (like you mentioned in the video).
    I really like the lighter weight and streamlined look of that Marlin, though.
    Price aside, for a 70/30 rider, which would you pick for this person?
    Great video and perspectives! Thank you!

    • @ElectricBikeJournal

      That is a good deal for the Turbo Tero 3.0. If you are feeling you’ll be doing 70/30, then the Turbo Tero will be a solid choice for you.

    Nice comparison, I've learned alot from your vieos. I like my ramblas but I would like to remove that whole pop up seat mechanism and put in a suspension seat post, do you know how hard that would be or if even possible?

    • @ElectricBikeJournal

      Thank you very much. Not to dissuade you, but if you hang tight we have a video coming out about upgrading the Ramblas. Without giving too much away, one of those components will be changing the dropper post for the PNW Components Coast dropper which is both a dropper post and a suspension seatpost in one. Best of both world in our mind.
