Re: Light Carbon LCES004 E Bike Build
ill get some better pics when there's light out and some of the battery cover too(just realized i didnt have any) the bike rides great and the motor provides more than enough power for everything that we ride. it has 5 power levels and the highest i went was 3 for a tough climb but most of the time 1 or 2 was good enough to keep the climbs pretty relaxed. if this was for me id have cut the stem down and used a bit narrower tires but my dad loves riding feeling like hes rolling on pillows and being a bit more upright. you definitely feel the weight of the motor+battery on tighter turns but the extra confidence and stability coming downhill with some speed is a nice tradeoff. well that and making climbs a walk in the park  dont know if ill be swapping to an EMTB any time soon ( actually pretty excited for the AM831, if it ever ships haha) but im glad i was able to build one to continue riding with my dad. OH! and total cost if anyone is curious, was $3309.21. everything was bought new except for fork and shock but they were both practically brand new take off's ohh and i think this can be moved back down to the ebikes section as i have finished the build

Re: Curious what build weights people are averaging on their bikes?
I didn't build my Chinese carbon frames/bikes with particularly lightweight components, but I think they turned out pretty light in comparison to my other road bikes.Man I have been looking for a decent S5 "inspired" frame for a while... what is the make and model? Here is my build. FM208. I got it down to 6kg/13.2lb with a carbon saddle, 1x drivetrain, tubular wheelset + Tufo S3s. Was awful to ride and slow though, so I put my padded saddle back on, went back to 2x and got some aero wheels + GP5Ks. Glides like a dream now. WW spec:  Current spec:
