2024 Salsa Tributary eBike Review. Pedal assisted bikepacking & touring? Let's Go!

Here's a once over of my all new Salsa Tributary E-Bike. I believe I'm the first to buy one in Canada! This is Salsa's electric pedal assisted gravel adventure bike. Boasting the Bosch CX performance motor. Stay tuned, lots more videos on this bike to come!

I got mine a week ago. About 300 miles so far. Ive a heart issue . In my mid 70s not ready to give up. So far t its fun. Mostly eco mode. Should get 75 miles per charge.

[@mikebikercanada]

Awesome! Yes I’ve really only had to use eco mode so far as well. Great mileage in that mode! I have the Powermore250 range extender arriving shortly which should boost my mileage considerably

Love this video bro .. Ride safe Mike 🙏 🇨🇦👊

[@mikebikercanada]

Thanks brother ! That means a lot coming from you 😃❤️🙏

[@ChristopherNobrega]

Awesome video... I'm looking at the Apex version but I'm on the fence. Did you happen to test ride that model?

[@mikebikercanada]

Thanks so much! Unfortunately I haven’t. But that also looks like a great ride. Slightly different controller. If I can get my hands on one I would definitely enjoy seeing the differences.

[@jameslopez9976]

Great video! Waiting on the follow up. How many teeth on that chain ring? and is the big ring on the cassette 45 teeth?

[@mikebikercanada]

Thanks James 🙏
I’m waiting on the Powermore 250 spare battery and the mini handlebar remote to arrive from Germany. And then I’ll get Part 2 uploaded to TH-cam. Hopefully in a week or two. North America still hasn’t released any of these Bosch accessories and I got tired of waiting so I went overseas lol
Funny enough both the front chain ring and large ring on the cassette are both 42 teeth
Sorry for getting that info to you so late, it’s been a busy week here! Let me know if you have any more questions about the bike 👍

[@bernietallman6038]

Only thing I don’t like about it is you can’t put a kickstand on it. Also, the battery is welded in? What if it needs replacing?

[@mikebikercanada]

Yes no kickstand unfortunately.
The battery isn’t welded. Just a few bolts release it from the frame and it slides right out for replacement !

[@TheKrisKreativ]

How much does it weigh?

[@mikebikercanada]

For my size Medium it’s 46lbs. Almost double the cutthroat (24lbs).
