Yeah that is a chronic problem with the bike media - bikes are reviewed in isolation when everyone wants to know how they compare against others in the field. It's why review Roundup sites like the Wirecutter are so successful. As for a cheaper brand using the TQ, I had the same hope, and...

New BMC Teammachine sports the HPR40, with models from $8-13.5k, and as little as 20.72 lbs. https://bikerumor.com/the-bmc-teammachine-01-amp-road-ebike-is-so-light-pedalable-it-feels-like-a-new-category/

Not clickbait to call road e-bikes pointless, in the UK. When you can do 22+ mph on flats, a heavier costlier ebike that maxes out at 15 mph under assist is of limited appeal. I just wish the Canyon Endurace Onfly came to the US as a Class 3 ebike. The cheapest Scott Fastlane is still $7k...

Incompetence is clearly at play - I notified Canyon months ago that one of their photos shows a different motor model on the US site, I think as someone else mentioned here. That alone is suspect, and they replied saying it was from the European branch that sells the other model. But they have...

Lol how could one write a thread that's so obviously wrong.

Great point, and now that you mention it, I am going to strongly consider the Vado SL too!

Why not? They would have more info than a forum of nobodies.

Have you asked Bosch yet for clarification?

Bosch states that this motor gets "up to" 75 nm. So any value between 0 and 75 nm inclusive is potentially accurate. So the Canyon spec is not fraudulent. Honestly I don't understand why the nm would vary, or why manufacturers would limit it - maybe Bosch charges more for a higher nm spec? Do...

Does the serf gain respect through hyper-obedience to the local lord?

Well written post. This has happened to me occasionally, but these are usually the minority of drivers - typically the angry entitled types. I live in a very urban area so I think the drivers are a bit more experienced. But there are definitely people like you experienced who operate on a very...

Wouldn't this violate some agreement with Bosch? IMO I'd ask Bosch to explain what's going on. It is possible Bosch made a special run just for them, just seems implausible, and a brand liability to call a cheaper product the same thing. As for the photo, I also contacted them about the...

I'm skeptical. It says right on their page it has a torque sensor. https://www.cannondale.com/en-us/bikes/electric/e-urban/adventure-neo-allroad/adventure-neo-allroad-speed

https://pirg.org/articles/bosch-we-dont-support-self-service/ While this is about dishwashers, it sounds much like some of the comments I've seen here about Bosch service. A shame when they dominate the retail ebike industry. " A right to repair to ‘end the silliness’ If you wondered why right...
