Stefan, what assist level do you usually ride at on your e-gravel bike?

I'm checking out his old post—"a very brief review of a new bike (scott addict rc eride)" 😄

Could it be because there's just not as much demand for e-road bikes compared to other types of e-bikes? Mid-drive motors are usually heavier and more noticeable. Personally, I feel like e-road bikes with hub motors fit better with what most road cyclists are used to.

Seems like they need to redo their Auto mode logic.

Does it adjust automatically based on the terrain?

The X20 hub motor actually puts out 23Nm of torque, which is “comparable to a 55 Nm Mid Drive”.

I've been looking into e-road bikes lately, thinking maybe I'll get one or go for a conversion kit🧐 I noticed someone mentioned they rarely use the assist, and when they do, it's just on levels 1 or 2. So I'm wondering, how much torque do you usually need? I've been looking at Scott Addict...

Thanks for your help! I'll think it over.

I agree, it does look kind of weird! The price is definitely steep. I wonder who would actually buy a Skarper. Really not gonna affect the handling at all?

You're right

Keyde seems too bulky🥹

The e-ride version does mess with the original bike's geometry, and it's not for everyone. I've looked into Boost too, and it just seems way too bulky! What's your take on Skarper? I've noticed you've been mentioning it a lot.

I'm with you on that. I checked out this Keyde product, and it seems to have a fake thru-axle (with two bolts securing it from the sides). What do you think about it?

I'm curious if the front hub motor's operation affects steering responsiveness.

Is it 'cause the bigger batteries are just too bulky?
