    Como SL safety notice

    https://www.specialized.com/us/en/turbo-como-sl-safety-notice-ride-january-2026 I did not see this recall on this forum. There has been a recall and Stop Ride Notice for certain Como SL bikes due to a failure of the fork.

    Ebike touring recommendations 120 km a day range with a 150 kg (bike+ rider luggage) and 750-800 wh battery or 2 batteries 750-800 wh batteries

    it depends on what's available there. I was thinking in the direction of for example Tout-Terrain e-xplorer, idworx oPinion ET, Santos traveler+ or Koga e-worldtraveller. depending on your riding style these would fit the bill (besides the R&M) for the brands with which I've worked in the...

    ShockStop Stem on Vado SL

    I'd opt for a spacer with a go pro style mount I'd go for the Lupine one with an extension.

    getting a regular bike after my battery fails?

    Those are flat mounts indeed. In itiration of the Klein mount. To run 160 mm rotors you would need a caliper which is designed for flat mount. I have to find a manufacturer which has an adapter to run a 140 mm + adapter on a FM frame... And I ve seen a lot of interesting combinations.

    More ebike misinformation

    Correct, we do see a few of these bikes here. Thats why the police are now focussing on testbench tests for all e-bikes, to filter out the elegal ones. Just like they did in the past for the traditional mopeds. Problem with the "fatbikes" is besides the crappy bike itself, the max speed with...

    More ebike misinformation

    For these "fatbikes" they are cheap non-conpliant e-mopeds which are used by schoolkids who really do not have a clue what the risks are riding how they do. It's not just Amsterdam, in the east there are a few citys who banned all e-bikes from the city center due to these "fatbikes". So there...

    Gasgas is owned by KTM Motorcycles, not the KTM bicycles company. Gasgas was their attempt to enter the E-bike world. The steep decline in slaes and massive investment of KTM almost brought KTM to a chapter 11 situation... As far as I know, KTM closed the Gasgas plant in Spain and stopped the...
