What I have learned so far is that e-bikes with removable batteries are usually much heavier than those with fully integrated batteries. This has to do with the frame construction and the required load limits. That's why I consider touring bikes with fully integrated batteries, such as the Vado...

Most accommodations in semi-urbanised areas can provide a charging facility at any time, but not necessarily in the hotel room. So if you are planning a longer tripp, then you should make sure beforehand that the host can actually meet the energy requirements. However, this is not only about...

This is a clear no, each battery has its own charging electronics, which ensures that the cells are charged evenly. The expansion of the capacity only maintains the operating voltage for the motor a little longer. Charging from one battery to another is therefore not possible. That and a few...

An interesting point of view, with me it's exactly the other way around, I can't wait to kick one of these bastards with full force into his damn mouth. 😏

So what?! Was that a surprise? The whole thing did not develop overnight, but over many years, so they had enough time to react appropriately. What you need besides money is plenty of space for an automated unloading, sorting and parking of the containers. In addition, a lot of staff to empty...

The real problem is that both the competent port authority and the local politicians have watched for years as the need for expanded infrastructure grows, but has done nothing to improve the situation. It's always and everywhere the same thing, they wait until the problem grows over one's head...

Your reaction clearly shows that you cannot accept any other opinion! The disadvantages of a tubeless tire have already been experienced by enough other cyclists, which I would rather do without. I don't have to make such experiences just to confirm this crap! 👎 Tubeless? No thanks❗ Cheers!

You are completely wrong, this realization does not come from me, it comes from many long-suffering consumers, most of whom have switched back to tubular tires. That's also the reason why I will never accept such a solution. So for me, it's out of the question!

Of course, there are always exceptions where a trader is outstandingly reliable and honest. If an item is difficult to procure and is also offered on your own continent only at exorbitantly high prices, then I think it is quite justified to accept longer delivery times. The last case I had in...

I have had similar experiences with various dealers in recent times. My advice on this case is therefore, don't make yourself a victim by giving these incompetent guys even more time, don't mess around with them, cancel the order and change the trader immediately.

Vaseline? Not a bad idea, this should definitely protect your skin for a while. Deer tallow is even more effective for a longer ride. However, with the best of intentions, I can't come to terms with a hardened ass, I'm not a gorilla after all. 🦍

Most chargers, including cables, are small enough to carry them in a pouch on the bike. However, as long as battery technology does not improve and public charging facilities are scarce, traveling with e-bikes will always be a problem. ⚡

I prefer a good and comfortable touring saddle to any sports saddle, but padded shorts can certainly help in some cases.

How lucky you were! Due to the stupid lock down in my region, I have no opportunity to test, buy or rent a bike. But I'm not sure if I have the nerve to buy a bike spontaneously. The T-500 is a classic trekking bike and can be expanded in any direction, there is not much you can do wrong...

Hmm, maybe you ride the wrong saddle? 🚴‍♀️
