Thx, I have 30 year old touring bike made with Reynolds 531 st. Perhaps it may be suitable for ebike conversion. I also have Vivient world randomuer steel bike with disc brakes, 5 years old. It would also be a long term option for ebike conversion

Odd, looks like 5 years old, based on battery size. Allow 2 new batteries at 2400. I prefer chain and cassethe.

Hi good to know. RM not available in Australia for 3-4 months in chain and cassette model.

Hi Stefan Yes thinking stronger wheels are an option in the future. Currently my bike has 36 spoke deep V rims front and rear at the moment. I trued the rear once in 5000 kms Enjoy the ride Kevin

Hi All I have a 2018 build Gazelle City Zen T10 with 10 speed cassette, Bosch performance line motor and 500wh powertube battery. The bike has been excellent, stable, reliable, no issues. I have ridden it 5000 kms, mainly on rail trails and often towing a dog trailer. Dog and trailer weigh 30...

Hi Stefan The Vado 3 turned out to be an error, they had no stock but still listed on their website for sale. I priced a specialized second battery either 710 wh or 530WH and pricing was higher than expected at 1850 AUD including a charger. It now turns out that there are no 2026 Vado 4 in...

Retail price of Vado 4 is 5400, and you can buy them for around 5K. Significant saving to buy the 3 and...

Hi Stefan, you seem to be knowleadble about Specialized bikes. I can understand the concept, lighter bike, smaller battery, less powerful motor, easier to ride and more responsive and enjoyable. Even better when used for day trips in the hills, not touring and not carrying 15 kg of gear. Am I...

Ebike touring recommendations 120 km a day range with a 150 kg (bike+ rider luggage) and 750-800 wh battery or 2 batteries 750-800 wh batteries. My first choice is Riese and Muller Charger 5, chain and cassette if it has the range. It is expensive but in my price range. My second choice...

Hi All I have recently purchased my first EBIKE, a second hand Gazelle CityZen ebike, 2018 with Bosch performance line motor and 10 speed rear cassette 36-11. I find the gearing is too high, I currently pedal in the lowest gear between 14 and 19 kmh and rarely use any more gears than 4-5th. We...

Thanks for your interest. In the end I did not buy the bike as it was to long to fit inside my vehicle with the large front rack. and it was expensive. I have purchased a low km Gazelle cityzen 10 speed cassette with Bosch performance line motor and 500 wh powertube battery for about half the...
