I have the older Ride1Up V2 Roadsters that use the current based sensor (and a sine-wave controller vs square wave that many cadence ebikes use). The new V3's are torque sensored. I believe Jeremy is correct in that only Ride1Up on their cadence based ebikes use a current based sensor. The...

I assume SOP. Sounds like a speed based cadence sensor as opposed to a current based sensor. Big difference. It's been like that for the entire 2-years - correct?

Good/interesting interview from Peter Attia.

Ditto to what JRA says. I'm also down in Oregon and ride the beaches a lot. In fact heading over tomorrow. Going to be using my Priority Sauce single speed non-ebike this time. You may want to check out this bike - their E-Coast. It's basically set up to handle a coast environment. It's a...

Plus a chest HRM is actually accurate. A forearm version is REAL close. Wrist ones (Garmin, FitBit, Apple) not so, basically at all - though of those the Apple tends to be the better choice. For me - my FitBit is pretty accurate for steps/distance, sucks on everything else. My Polars (arm...

On HR and HRV if one wants accuracy, it requires a chest strap (Polar for example) or at least a forearm strap. Both types usually can be mated to some bike computers I believe. Your standard wrist monitors (Garmin, FitBit, etc) are garbage - not accurate, as they're optical sensors. Here is...

This is (was?) a great bike. Climbs pretty good grades ok with effort. I love this little sucker, by far my favorite. I can get 25-30 miles easily on most of my rides. But I'm a fan of single speeds - have 4. 2 ebikes and 2 non-ebikes. Also each has a different brakes - rim, mechanical...

Jeremy, I think you and PSm are located within the same area. Why not just see if the two of you could meet up and then you ride his CF Racer? Also there is a "explanation" of their cadence based systems on their site and also I remember a podcast about it (don't remember where). They do use...

Agree on Priority. Could see them doing this on their 600 series (the commuter and adventure ones). They're really tied into Gates and Pinion, already doing the 1.12 gears on them. Not sure about the HXT - we'll see what Hardtail Party says about that bike. Personally I think the Pinion now...

I don't know. Depending on what you're wanting to accomplish, I'd ask Lectric which rear cogs sizes can be used and what style they're using. Probably a 9-spline CDX, but just a guess. I do like belt drives, but messing with different rear cogs and belts can be a pain and expensive, especially...

From here - gear inches. https://www.gear-calculator.com. Use the P1.6 (same specs as the C1.6 that Lectric uses). Changing cogs, depends on the bike. The cog change itself is usually pretty straight forward on a chain drive. BUT...with belt drives it depends on the chain ring, cog size, belt...

Yup, you're probably right. With it's 39 chain ring and 24 rear cog, looks like about mid 30's gear inches in gear 1 to 110-115 gear inches at gear 6. Will be interesting to see some hill climbs, but looks like it's built for speed.

I keep seeing this, but not actually the same Pinion gearbox as the Stromer ST7. Big difference. The ST7 (as does Priorities new HXT non-ebike) uses the Pinion C1.12 with a 600% gear range. The Lectric One is a C1.6 with a 295% gear range. 12 speed vs. 6 speed. Example - the Rohloff is like...

True on usage on the CF1. But the extender battery comes with its own charger.

I am surprised they didn't do a torque sensor. But I'm with you on the torque vs cadence, especially on a road bike. I tend to ride my 2 R1Up Roadsters (gravel and non gravel) much like you (though not in your league!!), using just enough effort. So in essence, I'm the torque sensor :cool...
