People tend to miss the point of this thread entirely - which is - If manufacturers ADVERTISE 28MPH before a class III motor stops assisting, then it should do just that - 28 MPH before dropping out. I've ridden bikes all my life, motorcycles, cars etc... ad nauseum, and what I want is simple...

Tell that "law abiding" to VW.

I have learned it is better to "have and no need, than to need and no have" that said I didn't carry squat on my bikes in my younger days, but I also didn't have to be at a paying job reliably all the time, back in the day either. An ebike can handle basic tools, a tube and an auto inflator. The...

Actually the motors cut out at 26.5 mph - I have tested this on several trek ebikes.

As a neuro-muscular therapist I can offer lots of valid time proven advise - but ya'll have so many questions! Numb hand(s)? if it is bilateral it could indicate some cervical or thoracic issue. It's odd for both hands to exhibit carpal tunnel at the same time - not impossible just odd...

I commute in Mobile Alabama - death trap of sorts for cyclists. 11 Years ago I was hit dead on from the rear by a car travelling over 50 MPH. Yep, that hurt, and, still does. I still commute every chance I get, even with a broken up body - I ride 6.6 miles to work in a full sprint on my Trek...

what a great idea - an ebike peloton!

Seat height is critical to proper pedaling - without going into a lot of detail you should be almost fully extended at the knee but still have a slight bend with your foot flat on the pedal. Other positions will affect either extensor muscles (quads) or flexor muscles (hamstrings) and glutes all...

Ah... Wh noted - this is why I like this forum so much... many very knowledgeable folks to guide us down the path.

A local biker lost his 500Wh Bosch battery. I had an extra Bosch 500Wh battery that I bought at cost when I bought my wife's Riese & Muller ebike so I offered to sell it to the unfortunate soul to save him time and money. He charged the spare up and on his next big outing someone handed him the...

I have similar mods - I changed handle bars to Bontrager full carbon cow horns - not actual name they came off my TREK FX 7.9. I went with the body float seat post - wow - nice - I am at 200 lbs. I bought a microtec stem shock absorber off of ebay it does great absorbing impact but it comes back...

My 3 different Bosch Class III pedelec's cut out at 26.5 mph. I have verified this now on three different Bosch S mid motor drives. A Trek, and two different Riese & Muller bikes. All bikes are using the same Class III S motors. What I have found from over 8 months of riding almost daily is...

Impressive to be able to record all the stats. I often pull flat bellied road bikers in a peloton at 26 miles / hour for right at 30 miles of riding. I'm on a Trek Super Commuter 8S and have handle bars that let me drop into the crouch. Wind is typically 5-10 miles per hour and I ride in the...
