    Giant No Longer a Value Brand? A Tale of Two Similar E-bikes, Two Years & $900 apart

    I'm not saying there's anything wrong with them. It's just the pricing is and has always been higher than other brands, and the dealers are quite inflexible on the prices.

    Giant No Longer a Value Brand? A Tale of Two Similar E-bikes, Two Years & $900 apart

    That's why I never considered a Specialized e-bike or acoustic bike for that matter. They are already priced quite high compared to equally equipped models from other brands , and the dealers seem to have a "that's the price, take it or leave it" attitude.

    Ebikemotion x35 speed limiter "fix"

    I have one ordered, but the shipment seems to be lost and they are sending a replacement via a more reliable shipping method. Can't wait to try it out and report here. Edit: I misread your question-I have the tuner dongle ordered from them, not the extender battery.

    First Impressions: New 2021 Ebikes from Diamondback!

    I see a lot of guys riding a cheap/old road bike with the handlebars flipped upside down so that they sit very upright. Usually a bit on the scary looking side and always riding the wrong way on the street or bike lane. Every time I turn the corner on my normal circuit close to my house I have...

    First Impressions: New 2021 Ebikes from Diamondback!

    That's a really odd handlebar position, and you are stressing the front brake line big time.

    Refunds on late unfulfilled orders

    Good to hear you are getting a full refund. (Hopefully) I would stay away from this company or any other that doesn't allow you to cancel your order anytime prior to shipping with a 100% refund.

    Specialized Turbo Creo 28mph Electric Road Bike

    I think maybe the XL frame could be the issue. I purchased a Focus Paralane about 3 years ago. Their chart said I was smack dab in the middle of 56 & 58CM. I went with the 58 thinking the extra stack would put me in a more enduro position. Ends up it just stretched my reach farther out which I...

    Carbon Wheel Build with Ebikemotion

    I've gone back and forth on which wheels to order from Farsports, and decided on their Kaze 21mm internal 28mm external. Going to mix it up a bit an do 45mm deep front, and 58mm deep rear. No outer holes so I won't have to mess with rim tape. Farsport and a couple other Chinese/Taiwanese...

    Specialized Turbo Creo 28mph Electric Road Bike

    There are calculators that give you reach dimensions with various stem length and angle. Keep in mind that when a stem angle changes from zero degrees, that also changes the reach measurement some. So 24 degrees upward and only 90mm length is going to change the reach a bunch.

    Specialized, Trek or Orbea, which one?

    I have never experienced this surge on my Gain. Why in the world would you even put it in the lowest gear and level 3 assist in real world riding? I wouldn't just because it doesn't make sense. Coming from a mechanical background, I know there's always a shortcoming or weak spot to any...

    Someone stole my $4700 ebike. Need a new bike :(

    I had a Raleigh Comp back in the day. (Mid-late 70's) Bought it new. Never cared for the way the bottom bracket/frame/crankset flexed under power. The chain was always contacting the derailleur cage when you put the hammer down. Not sure if the oddball 3 arm crank had something to do with it...

    Have you ever actually weighed your ebike as you normally ride it? How and what did it weigh?

    My Orbea Gain weighs just under 30 lbs with pedals and all my accessories installed.

    What bike is this, and how many steering stem extenders are on it?

    Ebikemotion - shifting on its’ own

    Turn the heart rate assist off and see if it still does this. My guess is that your heart rate sensor is sending an unstable glitchy signal to the X35 controller.

    I agree. If I could just get Shimano/Garmin to add the power level up and down as an option on their Di2 system, then the hidden buttons on the hoods could do this perfectly.

    OK. I've been contacting both Garmin and Shimano trying to get them to add that function as a choice on the D-Fly channels, but so far no luck.

    Looks good! Are those sprinter shifter buttons on the front of the drops?

    Carbon Wheel Build with Ebikemotion

    Thanks for that. It shows no duties or fees leaving the UK. But I have read that anything with the declared value of $800+ can possible incur fees and taxes when it arrive here in the US.

    Carbon Wheel Build with Ebikemotion

    I'm getting close to going with the Farsports Feder's 21mm inside/28mm outside in 45mm depth. The Parcours are going to be enough $ that I'm afraid there might be import duties to pay. They can't tell me either way, but from what I've been reading anything with a value of $800+has the...
