Thanks for the photos..!! Was this the big event honoring Bob Osborn..?? I read a little about it and sounded like a cool event. I guess a lot of the old pros were supposed to be there as well….Swingn’

Not a Nova
I need to get a bike and get some exercise. When I was a kid I'd go everywhere and when I lived in Germany we rode in these big parks and had fun!

My wife and I just got back last night from a 5-day trip that started here in Portland and went to North Hollywood to visit my dad and his wife for a night then over to Mesa Arizona to test drive these bikes and visit with her elderly sister and then up to Las Vegas for a night then to Reno for a night and then home yesterday...
We got to soul fast e bikes on Thursday about noon and was pleasantly surprised to find out the owner was there who gave us a personal tour of the shop and escorted us on a test drive.
These bikes are very substantial and come with a lifetime frame and forks warranty.. All of the high-end components hydraulic disc brakes titanium paddles integrated batteries and all that stuff is one of the reasons that we got them...
When I first started thinking about this and posting about it I was really looking at the SE bikes and was right up my alley but then I seen a video for these and I think I was pretty much hooked at that point. But in order to pull the trigger on something this expensive I had to go see for myself... I think the owner was a little surprised to see me doing a little bunny hops on it lol...
So the reason the pictures I posted were from their website is because in Mesa Arizona they have to charge a 8% sales tax which is like $280 each. It's $159 each to have them shipped here without tax... So instead of paying what would have amount to an extra $250 to load them up in our small SUV and have to drive them all the way home we have to to just call the next day in order them...
We got a shipping tracking number that same day and I think I should see at least one of them on Wednesday...

Shiny paint causes stress.
I have never in my life owned a BMX bike. I went from spyder bikes to 10 speeds to mountain bikes and own 7 bikes right now but never a BMX.

Finally got a chance to take my e-bike on a trip to work. Getting it opened up on the main streets. I think the funniest part was looking over at drivers as they look at me and look at their speedometer and looked back at me... I'm pedaling away like mad and it seems like they're looking at me like they can't believe I'm going that fast... LOL

It don't look like much but these bus stop ramp on and off are only about 6-8 in high but at over 30 miles an hour you certainly catch air...
