    Rode my Priority Folder: It’s new but so far, I really like it! Gates carbon belt, 8 speed internal hub, and 20" tubeless ready wheels.

    I’ll post a more extensive review later, but it’s half the price of Tern’s belt driven offerings and takes standard parts.

      That does look like a neat little bike. I’ve been eyeballing their 600 for years now lol, pricey but the range on those Pinion drives are pretty impressive.

        I was looking at the 600X for a touring bike but I’m worried about if I snap a belt then the spare I won’t be able to replace it anywhere near as easily as I could a chain. If I get a dedicated touring bike (right now I’m just using a modded Trek 820 lol) it’d probably be the Marin Four Corners or maybe a Fuji Touring Disc.

        I don’t know I’d trust an aluminum frame for touring, but for getting around the city so far the aluminum Folder has been great so far.

    Riding my v11 unicycle one last time before I sell it because I own too many EUCs

    It’s a great commuter. Relatively waterproof, durable, goes 34mph, 30+ mile range.

    I really just ride my mten5 or ex30 or motorcycle 95% of the time though

    New bike day for me: Got a Ride1up Portola after my local shop had one for $950. I fixed up my old Engwe too but the Portola rides so much better, folds up smaller, and is just all around better.

    The only things I like better about the EP2 is that the rack fits standard bags, you need a key to start it, and the 4" 15 PSI tires offer a slightly smoother ride (though I also have Tannus Armour installed, so that probably helps).

    The pedal assist on the Portola is significantly better, same for brakes, grips, saddle, fenders… pretty much everything is higher quality and at a lower MSRP. Customer service also seems better (so far anyways).
