    yeah, it’s kind of an interesting artifact of where we are in the technology landscape. the ANT standard has been around a long time...

    the 4 and 4.1 meter/wh values are very interesting. if you’re doing half the work yourself, and the total load is 125kg, that’s 70%...

    I don’t want to jump the gun, and as I mentioned my data will be unlike another tester, but I think as long as I ride similar routes to...

    As a recreational rider never felt I needed a power meter (although the tech intrigues me) so not sure what average power may be needed...

    when you consider that the cheapest accurate power meters on the market cost quite a lot more than mahle’s entire bottom bracket with...

    i just don’t believe that the TQ40 is only 65% efficient. so far we have a test report that seems to show 65%, specialized claiming it’s...

    i didn’t realize that was your review ! fantastic and thank you for producing it, lots of work no doubt. the rider input number in the...

    Cool review. It appears he used about 75% of the range extender (100wh ISH) tooling around and then getting to the top of a 1300’ (or...

    i’ll add that canyon uses roughly the same 6,000 foot metric that we arrived at in their literature, noting that the range extender...

    yes, but only if you only use the assist on the climb. using assist on flats just makes you go marginally faster at a high energy cost...

    those are nice rides, that was kind of my sweet spot too, 50-60 miles and 3000-5000 feet. you don’t want to arrive home at 0% (and most...

    in concept, yes. for the bikes i’ve owned the overall system efficiency is closer to 80% than your 58%, so more like 1.85 hrs to toast...

    one very easy way to observe how fairly simple this is is to ride your bike up a known steady grade at fairly low speed with power...

    I am guilty of gross oversimplification when I asked the question about power requirements and was hoping for a simple ball park answer...
