I actually mean "low powered HUB or mid-drive electrically assisted bicycle", when I say eBike. (Mine is a 250w hub drive cadence sensor, no throttle as they are not legal in Australia with a 250w motor). I mostly don't disagree with anything you are saying. (Though I'm not actually sure that...

Exactly this. I got my metrics from the Keiser bike (plus my watch, etc.).

I like the non-live Peloton classes (I don't have the bike, just a Keiser spin bike). I use(d) my Apple TV or iPad to watch the classes. So not really any interaction with other people for me. I've always been a spin class junkie though. And having said that, if it had been possible to buy an...

I didn't. I'm in Australia - have never done a live Peloton class, only the recorded ones.

That thing looks awesome! Have you tested on out in person? I wonder if you can stream the Peloton spin classes to it - they are pretty good. Almost makes me miss spin class... Maybe I won't cancel the subscription just yet.

That is literally the most beautiful bike I've ever seen! Totally in love...

I love your accessories. I have purple flower stickers and a purple water bottle on mine. My analog mtb has purple pedals, grips, etc. I need colour!

Same here! Since I got my eBike I haven't done a single spin class... I was doing them regularly using the Peloton app and my Keiser spin bike. That's totally lost its appeal now. I guess I'll maybe do them again when it's too hot/cold/rainy? Or maybe I should just cancel subscription...

And I 100% don't trust any of the numbers my Garmin Fenix is giving me about my eBike rides. It estimates power and I can't find out definitively if it just estimates that off heartrate or if it also uses GPS data like elevation etc.

Oh definitely - I'm not expecting it to be the same. I'm just wanting to make sure my power output isn't majorly suffering because of the assist. Like making sure I'm not fooling myself...

I'm actually going to move my Garmin Vectors onto my eBike because of exactly that! I need to see numerically that I'm actually still working hard. Because, obviously, I used to do all the hills and now I get help on some of them. Of course, I'm also going out every day now and for longer...

Absolutely. That's what is so awesome about these bikes - you can use them however you want. Power on, power off, high assist level, low assist level. There's a different use case for every user!

I like the exercise. And perversely, I think I like it more because it's heavy and feels like more of an accomplishment! Honestly though, I don't usually turn off the power, but I do usually ride only on Level 3 which only kicks in if I'm going below 16km/h, so the motor is mostly off, even on...

Exact same situation (not because of Covid though, just not enough time). I love that thing, but maybe it deserves to go to someone who can actually show it the love it deserves.

Same here... Though, I'm actually thinking of selling my motorbike to fund more eBikes. There is only so much leisure time and I'd honestly rather ride my ebike (or go jet skiing on the bay when it's really hot) than ride my motorbike.

Not in the UK, but Australia, which I think has similar laws. Perfectly happy with my 250w, 25km/h limit eBike.

I actually love all the data. I've had heart rate monitor watches from the very beginning and as soon as you could save that data and not just see it on the watch, I was in. It's my thing, tracking and analysing etc. I have a math degree, I'm a coder/information analyst, and it's just what makes...

Yeah, Garmin Connect at least allows you to correct the kms. Though it also puts a stupid line in the map. I've not tried to see if I can export the data from the corrected file in Garmin to Strava though. It might work... It's honestly annoyed me for YEARS (and I've been collecting data for...

BTW - this isn't 100% correct: It is possible to crop the beginning/end of your workouts - like if you forget to turn off your watch/recording device and load your bike onto the car and drive away with it still recording...

I use a Garmin Fenix watch which then syncs (not very well) to Strava. It annoys me that I have to update every single eBike ride that gets imported from Garmin (really not Strava's fault, I think it's Garmin's, as I can't figure out how to change my rides in Garmin to eBike - my watch...
