Hey Ben, thanks for the response. I'm actually looking for info on how common this issue might be, but your links gave me a lot of info about the motors, the brand, and impressed upon me the importance of being REALLY careful about washing them down since the bb shafts apparently aren't sealed...

Hey Ben, thanks for the response. I'm actually looking for info on how common this issue might be because this sucks, but your links gave me a lot of info about the motors, the brand, and impressed upon me the importance of being REALLY careful about washing them down since the bb shafts...

I bought a Tero Turbo 3.0 last Aug and love the bike. 1800 miles, I only use 10-30% boost occasionally for climbing or killer headwinds, and my battery range is usually around 250 miles. My brother bought one later and has about 400 miles on his. Yesterday we were doing a 60 mile gravel ride...

Good deal! Just wanted to make sure that wouldn't hurt the motor. I guess it wouldn't be that big a deal to just drop the assistance just before I jump out of the saddle, but figured the boost from the motor while climbing would be better. Thanks!

s Hey Stefan, thanks for the reply but it doesn't answer my question as to whether doing so will adversely affect the motor. Last I checked, I've biked well over 210,000 miles in a bit over 30 years and I was once pretty fast. I know how I like to ride, and just got the e-bike for assistance...

A question for a couple of you guys who seem pretty knowledgeable about these bikes. I like to get out of the saddle when exiting a curve or approaching the top of a hill. I'll usually be at 20-30% boost at that time, and my cadence out of the saddle would be maybe 60. Is it hard on the drive...

I got 3 rides in this week before it got cold here in Iowa and am fairly impressed with the ride. Having never ridden(or even wanted to ride) an e-bike, it was an eye-opener. I've been riding 20-30+ mile rides on gravel roads with plenty of hills and wind. Rode the first ride in eco mode for...

I appreciate the response guys. A 710 wh battery should make range a non issue I'd think, since my brother rides a big old heavy RAD bike with a 750 wh battery on our annual 400 mile ride. Even loaded to the max, he doesn't have range problems and he's kicking my butt. Since I'm getting a...

I'm new to e biking after 30 years of high mileage road and trail riding. Age and a knee replacement have led me rather reluctantly to an ebike. I researched online and ordered a Specialized Turbo Tero 3.0(arrives tomorrow), which I realize is on the lower end of the spectrum. Figures for...
