The irony was I riding a very, very safe trail at slow/moderate speeds so it’s inexplicable how it happened and the injury is completely disproportionate to the risk unfortunately. Knee pads would likely be great protection against abrasions and impact injuries. I suspect I must have applied...

thank you my friend - I'll be back on the bike in a few months!

Great looking bike - enjoy! I’ve got the Matte Curry version and love it so much. Sadly, I’ve not been able to ride it for seven weeks after falling off my eMTB and rupturing my quadriceps tendon. I needed a surgical knee reconstruction and looking at 9-12months for full recovery. 😔 This is...

About 30cm (forum not letting me upload photo right now )

I love that bike shops are engaging customers in a way like this -high engagement. I wish my LBS did this stuff.

I saw this from an Auckland, New Zealand based eBike store. They're hosting a guy who biked the length of NZ on a Delite as part of the Tour Aotearoa route (Tour Aotearoa: Home) and then came back via the Sounds to Sounds route (Tour Aotearoa: Sound to Sound) Impressive stuff! Looks like it's...

Varia all the way for me - I mount with a cheap bracket off Amazon on my seat. Works perfect. All the reviews of the Varia with camera say it sucks. I don’t have the camera version but I do have a Garmin Dashcam that has the same camera and app software to connect and THAT does suck too. To the...

I get your feeling, and I too always want to make sure what I buy is the latest model so it ages well. That said, I’ve got the SC2 with your motor and my wife has the so called “smart system” on her Multi charger mixte - I don’t see too much on there to rave about to be honest. It still feels...

Christchurch Electric Bicycles

yes, I had to walk up there with my suitcase to our hotel! glad we got the free transport ticket from the hotel so we could ride the MRT up and down the hill to the waterfront each day. Beautiful city.

Thanks @Gaylween - I had an amazing time in Lausanne on my wider trip - there are a few photos here if you're interested (I'm sure you'll recognise a few places): Favourites (adobe.com) 2016 Roadster hey! Positively vintage! I was impressed that Switzerland and Germany had so many bikes...

same for me.

Is there anyway we can check the current battery cycles for our bikes or do we need a diagnostic tool for that too? 600 cycles didn’t seem a heap initially but then I realise if I charge my bike 1/week on average and I’ve had it for 3yrs I’m likely only in the 150-200 charge cycles range

yes, I can keep my cadence higher on my rohloff, but I'm just "spinning" and not going fast at all. Having a higher care, thus more power, I'm dropping cadence but my speed is going to increase (although given it will be much harder to maintain, I likely will burn out quicker!) Couple of pics...
