This is the type of bike I need. I live on top of a mountain, it's 2.5 miles from my house to the County Rd all down hill! This would solve so much of that. I would just need some mud flaps and some cargo carring (though I could use a backpack). The mud flaps through are a nessinty since we get "mud season" in the spring when all the snow melts.

This thing is pretty bad ass. Pretty much my dream Emtb. I've been running the Bosch motor chipped to 28mph on my Trek Rail and love it. The idea that you could dial this down to ride on single track but then hit it up when you're out adventuring is pretty cool. Wish I had $7500 to blow right now!

[@winny625]

So much torque power at the rear wheel! It would go through tires, brake pads and put a lot of stress on the spokes. I have an el cheapo 1000w Ebike from China, and after it reaches 34kph (its top speed is 43kph), I really need an oversized front sprocket to have any pedal resistance, because it feels pretty much like riding a 50cc motorbike after that. I've owned it for over a year and have 3000+ kilometers on it. The bike is still Ok, but it is really just a commuter bike that looks like a mountain bike. High power E-bikes definitely require really strong components, as the jumps will be higher and therefore stronger impacts on forks, pedal components, frames, etc. I learnt this from my bike as it couldn't withstand the abuse. It would be probably be better just to get a SurRon type bike, as it would be more durable and cost less. The only gain you get is that it is stealth motorbike that is disguised as a mountain bike.

[@TrianglePants]

You should put ride stats in descriptions. I always wanna know the volts, amp hour, watts, torque, etc right out of the gate.

[@captamerica3693]

I totally love the idea of this bike. I think I would love it more if it was a fat tire, but a mid fat was good branded tires would work for me. Unfortunately, I don't think I could bring myself to spend more than about 3500 maybe $3800 for a good bike. This is out of my range sadly.

Its direct drive motor peaks to 2600W. Thanks again.

It all depends on the use case. I think we can agree that none of those are capable of what this bike is on the trails. But I look forward to riding a Goat bike next month! It will be fun in a different way. It's harder to justify if we don't have Matteo's riding skills!

[@turkeyssr]

I didn't see an actual, made to pedal, bicycle on the GOAT web site. The LMX is a legitimate bicycle not a moped style e-bike. I'm not against either of them, but to be a "bicycle" it should have an adjustable seat for various height individuals and human powered pedaling shouldn't be an after though.

[@StandForFreedom1776]

I like the fact it is duel purposed and I actually prefer the tire size over Fat tire ebike. I would have thought the LMX 64 would have had a higher top speed. There are plenty of Ebikes out there that will do 28 MPH but lack the torque this bike has. For me I would not buy this bike because the set position in relationship to the style of handlebars puts you in an aggressive bent over position which is used mainly in mountain biking. I would prefer one for street purposes but that would allow me to go of on a trail if I choose to. The Freedomwire is closer to the speed and upright positions I would like but it too has it design flaws.

[@LPerezDancer]

Mate, something is wrong with your dyno. Display usually shows input power. Dyno will measure mechanical rotation power. And efficiency here is usually peaking 0.85%. So these two params can not be even similar.

I dyno’d a few hundred motorcycles on a Dynojet in the 90’s and 2000’s. Most were in the 20-50 HP and 8 to 40 FPE range. We always put a street tire on the dirt bikes to eliminate knobby slippage and drag. It made a big difference in power readings and consistency.

[@southernebiking]

The problem I see with this is the price. Yes it has 10 times the power of some of the other bikes in this price range. Of course, you must mention that these other bikes are a true class one and are eligible for competition. This is the reason they only have 250 W motor with 750 W peak. I wonder how much of the market is willing to pay this type of a price and they are not so involved as they dabble in some competition. Seems like from a marketing standpoint. This would be a very limited. interesting bike all the same.

I do like the idea of it being a bicycle but then, essentially, a dirtbike when you need it. That's what I made my bsshd build for and this thing seems to check every box that my build doesn't. And weighs in at only 4lbs heavier than my bike. I'm unsure on how to feel about running a drivetrain on both sides of the bike, which I guess would depend on how easy it is to work with when you need to take it apart. But even running 1500watts through a bicycle drivetrain is not easy on parts, so I do like seeing the belt drive and massive gear for the motor side drivetrain.
