This looks like a good option for a starter bike to add the elect motor

From memory and I could be wrong
I believe that paddlesurf warehouse did a run of foote boards before they started
Vesl

I think this was the small shape... this looks like it’s hardly used, I would’ve picked it up but I am having a new roof put on my house. I hope you get it

There's a few options on craigs list but you might have to expand the geographic search

Cant go wrong with a quick blade Kanaha hybrid...

Also look at the Kialoa insanity carbon.

I think they are both in the $250 range, so slightly more that you are looking to pay
I would get the QB

Elite is high grade carbon, more pretty fiber's & less epoxy, Xtuff is slightly lower grade carbon, not as pretty, like flat black, More epoxy to fiber ratio than the elite. So it is a little heavier than the elite.

Xtuff is not fiberglass, it is carbon.

This bike shaves 10 lbs & you can remove the motor & battery and ride it

Not Cheap, not sure if we can buy it in the us, probably only 250 watts

I wonder if Luna Cycle would come out with a direct bolt in swap for the shimano e-bike motor...

Not much standardization yet with e-bikes

I have seen the SRAM NX Eagle group noted as e-bike rated, not sure if it means anything

Yes 30 lbs for a mtn bike

50 lbs for an e bike. I’m wondering how that feels to ride on the trails.

I wonder if the bike manufacturers are sticking with the 250 watts in order to keep them from being banned from the trails

Bill for me it’s the the mountain bike design. It’s what I am riding without the motor.

I bet that specialized fuse was a great bike with and without the e motor.

Looks like the shimano motor has room to improve. Also why Specialized is claiming big improvements this year... but at a huge cost

No not this one, I got to try my neighbors giant full suspension e bike, it was great. But I would like the 29” wheel option of the Fezzari

For a bike that is pretty dialed right out of the box... Not cheap, but it is a value compared to the big bike brands. Pretty close to the new MTB GEO

and for a review...

Seems like the surfski companies have better options for PDFs

I have not tried these, but they seem much better designed
