Any updates for me on which is actually the most durable to take a bafang ultra flogging? Lots of discussion about different speeds but i dont see a consensus. I have a rohloff so no gears to worry about, just want sturdy (snapped a chain today).

It was extra WINDY today too!!!! :) Looks like you need 3 chains for recumbent trikes so now I'll figure out what ones are strong for e bikes and go that route. I have a rohloff so its just 1 run/no cassette.

So for my noob help... any tutorials of how to run a new chain? Mine just broke right before the Golden Gate Bridge on my way to work, doh! I have a ti-fly x with a bafang ultra. I have no idea how to choose a chain or where all to follow the cogs since it all came off in a big kerfuffle, lol...

Oh gosh, the used one i was considering was only 30% the cost of a new one so it was an apples/oranges situation. But I went Homage over Nevo in the end. The Nevo was great and totally works but the Homage tp me is just that much more comfy.

Yeah, theyre my shop and Brett & Karen are so great. Ive bought 8 bikes from them over the years!

I believe you can use a Thule Yepp with the MiK system for it! My kid started riding her own bikes at 2 so we havent needed a seat in many years so I'm not 100% sure.

Are you able to try any versions of both? My local shop had a Nevo and an older version Homage so I was able to try both back to back though they weren't spec'd like I want. The Nevo was slightly more comfortable position wise. But, the Homage full suspension still won the day for me and was...

Definitely, when I first started looking I didnt know about all the special rules in other countries discouraged the faster models!

Yeah, their listings really turned me off. I contacted them about one and they said half the info was wrong after I asked a bunch of questions. All bad. And Im only after Nevo & Homage w/Rohloffs so they had only a couple. Oh well.

It is gonna cost half what my fancy motorcycle cost but I'm gonna give up on used since i cant find any 4 models and order a 5... and tell my wife its worth it for my sexy legs, lol.

I guess Ill skip out on the used Nevo. I asked him for a closer picture of the motor to confirm its the speed and not cx. He said "its in the listing" even though i said its too fuzzy to zoom in enough and tell. Says its the CX but 28er and not unlocked which I dont believe is a thing.... Okay...

He must not know then. His add clearly states 28mph but says CX (not speed). Maybe its unlocked? Ill ask.

My shop just told me prices are now up 8% due to the darn tariffs but could be an added 20% if it ships past the 90 day pause. Ugh!!!!

I need to resorch that more. I didnt know about the extra torque on the 20mph version! I dont "need' the 28er as Ive been happy with my current 20er just fine. But yes, I was/am scared about the limitation of the older homage not being able to get more batterys to swap in for longer trips. No...

Hadnt been concerned about that since Ive heard a lot of R&M bikes can get huge mileage. But, the nevo is by the original owner with shop service records. Plus its old enough that i can utilize my extra Bosch battery from my current bike. And I know my battery is good. The homage is being sold...
