PedalUma: I've told you this before, but the ebikes you make look incredible. I'd love to try one someday. I've been meaning to ask you this for a while: how would you respond to somebody who says that ebikes need to be built different than regular bikes, and that transforming a regular bike...

Okay, Court says the bike is one of the fastest accelerating bikes he's ever ridden. Yet this bike only has 48nm of torque. I was told by an ebike store owner in Vancouver that watts is overrated and a bikes acceleration/power really comes down to nm of torque. So either I misunderstood, or...

This is great news. Congrats Ravi and team. A generation 4 (85nm) class 3 Bosch motor with belt drive and Enviolo internally geared hub for $3900? That's a ridiculously good price. I just signed up for a preorder. Can you tell us anything about the custom suspension seatpost Zen created for...

Wow, that's a really beautiful bike!

Is what priority told you accurate? I figured that with an ebike one should still use gears like on a traditional bike, but that you could safely use the higher assist levels all you want without concern of harming the ebike. i don’t have an ebike yet, and I don’t know the answer. Can somebody...

For what it’s worth, I found this thread interesting and enlightening.

A truly beautiful, stealthy ebike. Congrats!

What a beautiful bike! Congrats on this exciting purchase. You should consider writing your own mini-review in this thread or on the forum. I'd be very interested in reading about your experience with the Gazelle C8 once you put some more miles on it.

And here's Chris from Propel discussing the Enviolo system in depth: "I think if somebody asked me what my favorite drive train for electric bikes right now, it would probably be this: enviolo"

A relevant thread discussing how Rohloff E14 is disappointingly loud in gears 1-7 (especially 7): https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/new-delite-mountain-rohloff-e14-issue.43290/

This is interesting and might be useful to those in Canada (our ebikes are often limited to 30km/h, which is a bummer).

Nice video by Chris from Propel discussing the Rohloff E14 (and briefly the enviolo system as well). A useful addition to the conversation:

Just on these forums. Make a thread like you did here, reviewing the bike and discussing your experience (pros, cons, surprises, etc). I'm sure a lot of people would appreciate it. Thanks in advance! :)

That’s a very well reviewed bike, Wee! Great choice. I hope you find time to write a quick review on this bike after you put some miles on it. I’d be very interested in hearing your thoughts!
