Ebike kit recommendation.
« on: October 28, 2024, 01:00:01 pm »
I've never recommended a bike product before but I have to speak out with this one from my own experience.  As a long distance cyclist who turns 81 next week, I have been using an EBO Burly (Electric Bike Outfitters) electric kit installed on a REI Novaro Safari for cross-country or border to border rides each summer since 2017, covering over 28,000 miles of the 40,000 miles pedaled on my twelve tours.  I have just completed my last long tour beginning in Olympia, Washington and finishing up on the GAP/C&O Canal Trails coming into Washington DC.  No BS, I have seriously abused their product many many times, especially in the Sierra/Cascade, Rocky and Appalachian mountain ranges, but the motor was durable and outlasted me.  I highly recommend the EBO kit as a quality product on any kind of bike that you might have. Other uses:  Outrunning dogs, headwinds, keeping up with unloaded tag-along riders, from stopped to getting up to speed on a slope and quick-shooting those short steep hills.  Jack Day
