I have 13 bikes in the garage. Two of my sons, two for Shelley, five for Shelley's grandkids, and four are mine. I have two Surly Long haul Truckers; one is an electric vehicle made with the Bionx D500 in 2015, and the other is for riding without electric assistance. I also have my original Cannondale SR400 from the 80s and my Juiced RipCurrent S fat tire bike. My Bionx has about 12,000 miles, and I am starting to have intermittent issues. The Juiced Bike has about 4,000 miles, and I can tell the motor is getting old. Bionz is a brushless system, and the Juiced is a brushless geared motor from Bafang. Rare to get more than 5,000 miles on that motor.
With the Bionx nearing the end of life, I decided to look for a solid bike on sale. I was pleased to find a Diamondback Current to replace the Bionx. Tomorrow will be the first long ride; I hope it was a good choice. I got the bike for $1,2000 off on sale! To hard to pass up a Bosch Performance Line CX motor and its components.
Let me see how it goes. So now I have 14 bikes in the garage, five of which are mine: three electric and two non-electric.
