    Adding a suspension fork to my Orbea Vibe or/and Synapse néo 2 ...

    Any serious review about the recent Orbea Kemen ?

    May be they don' t sell in north america and so they don't get reviewed there, and a large chunk of the youtube content is from north america. It may be also due to my own bias, i can only listen to english/spanihs/italian and french reviewers. And indeed I m always annoy when a bike get a lot...

    Are the prices going nut ?

    Well i first started to think about an ebike long ago, 6-7 years may be (mostly because i was aging), much before the ebike craze (fuelled by some general acknowledgement - 50 years too late -- of absolute necessity to leave the carbon age + the pandemic + the oil price surge). I pid my...

    Your experiences with the new Mahle MySmartBike app (replacement for Ebikemotion)

    I checked the last models from Orbea and they seem to move toward other motor providers, since I got in touch with them due to a firmware issue (they were super friendly and efficient) i told them that iwas very happy with my vibe except for the poor Mahle application. My understanding is that...

    Thanks for reporting the update. The application is still rated at 1.6, knowing that 1 is the minimum mark. The comments (for whatever reason i only get the comments in french) are quite similar to the ones given in the forum. 99% of the people prefered the ebikemotion application and almost...

    Your experiences with the new Mahle MySmartBike app (replacement for Ebikemotion)

    Does the application now keep the odometer ? I had to add a budget speed/distance calculator (from decathlon it uses a hub sensor so it is wireless and cost like 19 euros) to get the total distance. Mahle cumulative distance keeps reseting and the application forget the bike here and there for...

    What is Your opinion/experience on the badass box for Bosch active line plus ...

    LOL i m not a bioengineered cyborg like some famous "champion" that blackmailed former teamates or employees and even one of the most graceful and benevolent champion form the USA (the great Greg Lemon) ; so my cadence is usually around 70-80, i feel the most comfortable around 75, it is...

    What is Your opinion/experience on the badass box for Bosch active line plus ...

    Well before buying the badhass I think i will try the 1 euro solution with a magnet from amazon. The idea is to measure the number of rotation on the cranck which is 2-4 time lower than the number wheel rotations. Of course if you are on a super steep slope you may have a gear multiplicator...
