I have a Bosch system bike as well, and no issues. I'd have no hesitation getting a bike with a Shimano motor though (Especially the new E8000), or even the Yamaha or Brose for that matter. Keep your options open when shopping around.
There are a lot of different motors between the Bosch and...
^ Oh gawd, I'm always giving my wife crap about not shifting down and trying to start again on a high hear. Drives me nuts. After I upgraded the thing to an ebike, I keep telling her she's going to break something. I'll be replacing chains pretty frequently on it.
Interesting. I was under the impression that cadence sensor only for pedal assist wasn't very good. I had just about gone the Bafang route without throttle before I came across the Tongsheng kit. Hopefully I'll get a chance to try one out sometime. Thanks for the info.
I do feel they need to draw the line somewhere though. 32km/h is just too slow imo, especially when I'm getting past by regular road cyclists.. I think the 45km/h would be about right, with no restrictions to where they can be used. If government wants to enforce speed limits on pathways...
Yeah, couldn't agree more. We don't even have the option in Canada, we're stuck with 32km/h only. And even if we did have a 45km/h option, getting limited to where you can ride it would make it almost useless. I mean, who really wants a bike that your not allowed to ride on a bike path.. Why...
I agree, they are. My mountain bike came with a 10 speed setup, and even that seems like too much. I had actually increased the size of the front chain ring because I was getting so annoyed having to shift through the gears so quickly.
I recall Court mentioning in his video that one of the...
I can appreciate you have your preference. Thing is, many jurisdictions are going the route of pedal assist only. It seems that the line is getting drawn at whether you have to pedal or not. Where I live, ebikes with a throttle are not allowed on pathways.
When you say you prefer the pedal...
