Great point!! :-D

Aggghhhhh.... Shhhhh.... I don't actually notice that it's heavy when riding. I just think of it as making me stronger! The lightness would be the most awesome when I am taking it on the back of the car (4wd Jeep with stupidly large tyres) by myself. Right now I have to muscle it up there...

Yeah probably, I just wanted to answer with some actual data. And the whole exercise on a mid drive is a question I keep asking myself every time I am out for a ride... I keep looking at the pretty (and light, but mostly pretty) turbo vado sl but keep talking myself out of buying one.

And, my little 20km ride on my hub drive looks very similar to your 35km ride (assuming this was on a mid drive), @Stefan Mikes in terms of average power etc...

Basically I like my e-bike because I hate hills. I love riding a regular bike on the flat or slight inclines. So I want my bike to be the same amount of exercise as if I was riding in a nice flat city (like where I grew up, Winnipeg) as opposed to a hilly city (like where I live, Brisbane). And...

Ha! I haven't had time (and it is warming up here again so my interest in biking outside is ramping up, and I am a fair-weather biker for sure) to drop in on these forums for ages, so late to the argument, I mean debate... Here is actual data from my Garmin Vector power pedals that are on my...

I have the Brooks Ergon GP1s. I do move my hands around a lot and hold them on the ends quite often. (I may get horns at some point, but for now these are working fine). Totally stopped my hand numbness. And more importantly, they match my Brooks saddle and look awesome!

Wow, crazy hot there tomorrow. Looks to be "only" about 36 here in Logan... 😂 I'm all for daylight savings. Miss the long summer evenings (I grew up in Canada and the UK). Sadly, I'm usually working from 4am, in the cool part of the morning, in meetings with my colleagues in the States... Once...

Nice! That isn't me. :-) Our skis do not have the giant speakers that share one's taste in music with the masses... We'll have to check that cafe out sometime - we generally go in at Horizon Shores which is a bit south from there and head north-east through the islands, we can take a detour...

Where I grew up (Winnipeg, Canada) there was a sugar beet factory (it's gone now) and I can still imagine the smell (quite pleasant) of the processing sugar beets in the autumn after the farmers dropped their loads off. Very evocative of the crisp cold air and beginning of the school year etc...

I am incredibly envious of all your rides. I just read and look at pictures and live vicariously through your adventures. I live very close to David, but hardly ever get out to the places he does (we have jetskis too and seeing that lovely flat water on the bay makes me want to cry for missed...

There are lots of things you can't get here, it can be very frustrating. And when you can get them they are more expensive. Though, I think prices have been equalising a bit in the past few years. I work for an small American consultancy and (used to) spend a lot of time in the USA for work (one...

I don't! I have a cheaper NCM Milano plus... Though I think it's just my gateway bike to the harder stuff.

You can also get power with power meter pedals! (My Vectors were on my spin bike until yesterday when I moved them onto my eBike). And actually the Keiser spin bike I have also reports all those metrics (including power). The pedals were from an old spin bike that didn't have that ability and I...

Also used by people who are suckers for any gadget... (Not me, obviously 🥴 )

Ah right. Hopefully one day there will be a data standard across all bikes where you can just connect and grab the data with your bike computer/watch. I'm probably dreaming though...

Very cool! Super jealous... My next bike will definitely have the ability to measure the power I am putting in. Love that it gives you all the info about how much was you vs the bike. The battery info is sweet too. I finally moved my power pedals onto my eBike and have some of the same metrics...

Yeah agreed... Unfortunately I know for a fact (can compare on Garmin Connect) that my HR isn't up as high as I was getting it on my analog rides, because I have help on the hills, which is where it used to get into the higher zones. I'm a good 10 bpm lower both on average and the highest that I...

That's actually my big worry - I feel like these giant motor eBikes going really fast are going to mean a crackdown for all of us and get us kicked off the bike paths. Hopefully I'm just being paranoid. The thing is I also drive a jetski and because of a few bad jetski riders, the rest of us...

I think that is also one of the great things about eBikes - she could do 58km off road without any assistance and you could ride with her. I'm assuming you wouldn't have been able to ride with her if you didn't have the eBike... 58kms sounds like a fun ride with a friend. Why would 88 km have...
