Hey Rich. I get what you're saying. You can easily go 20+ on a regular bike, so the restriction doesn't really make sense to me. Just asking for info. I don't really have any need to go 28mph on a bike path anyway. (maybe if a bear or wild dog was chasing me...). Some of the bikes I like...

I'm looking to get a new ebike. I like Specialized Ebikes, particularly the Vado, but want something that I can ride on both the road and on bike paths without fear of being hassled. Most of the Vados I see are Class 3 bikes, but I have heard that there are some Class 1 Vados out there. I...

Anybody know if the Cannondale Tesoro NEO X2 is sold in the USA? Looks like a nice, versatile, and powerful package with the Bosch Performance Line CX. (upgradable to 85 nm too?) I can see them for sale in Europe, but I can only find the Tesoro NEO X1 and X3 for sale in the USA. Maybe in 2021?

Thanks, Bluecat. I don't know enough about Stromer ebikes (or ebikes in general) to comprehend why a modification would be needed either.

Good points, Rich.

(I asked a version of this question in another forum.) I am contemplating getting an Ebike and I really like two of the Trek models I read about (Trek Allant Plus 7 and Trek Verve Plus 3) but the maximum rated weight of those bikes ranges from around 275-300 lbs and the calculation includes...

I'm close to getting an E bike. I wanted something with a good range, good weight capacity, assisted speed under 20mph, good torque to climb hills, and a good support network of bike shops in the USA. I liked the Specialized Vado, but their assisted speed exceeded the legal limit for bike...

Hi Dave. I have heard that Cannondale is releasing 2021 models in a piecemeal fashion. I have also heard that a large container ship filled with Cannondale bikes has been held up somewhere abroad due to some logistical problem. I don't know if either of those statements is true.

Anybody know if Cannondale's 2021 bike lineup has been published anywhere? I see that some bikes listed as 2021 models have been advertised by European bike shops. Does anybody know if Cannondale has published a list of their 2021 bikes which will be available here in the USA? I am interested...

Thanks, tolovan. This is all getting a little confusing to me. The Synapse Neos have Bosch Active Line Plus motors on them and I've seen specs that say the motor assists only up to 15.5 mph while other specs say that the motor assists up to 20 mph. That's a pretty significant difference and...

It's sometimes hard for me to find info on particular specifications, like motor info, on the Cannondale website. Is the Bosch Performance Series the Gen 4 motor?

I have a regular Topstone gravel bike. Very nice. I'll bet the Neo Lefty is great.

My last question wasn't clear. What I meant was: will the Cannondale Synapse SE and 1 begin using the Gen 4 in 2022? Is the Bosch Gen 4 available on any ebikes now or hasn't it been released anywhere yet?

So the Gen 4 motor will come in 2022? Do any Cannondale ebikes presently use the Gen 4? (I should know all this stuff, but I'm new to the subject!)

Hey Deacon Blues. Thanks for your input. Now this is going to sound stupid, but, in the event that Bosch comes out with a Gen 4 motor down the road, couldn't it be retrofitted to the earlier SE? I imagine it could be, but you never know, so I thought I'd ask.

They are very similar bikes and they cost the same. (right now) The Synapse Neo SE has 650B tires, 11 speeds, mostly SRAM Apex components, and is marketed, somewhat, as a gravel bike with road capabiliities. The Synapse Neo 1 has 22 speeds, mostly Shimano 105 and Ultegra components, and...

I was recently told that there is a battery upgrade for the purple 11AH 396 battery that came with my circa 2015 Stromer V1/St1. The battery upgrade costs over $900, but the person I communicated with told me that the new upgraded battery would also require that the bike itself be modified at...

Hey Sifu Ben. Thanks for the advice. I don't know much about the Treadwell Neo and will have to do some research. I also saw that the Synapse Neo 1 and Synapse SE are available. They look very nice, but might be above my price range. The Neo 1 looks like a 22 speed with Shimano 105 and...

I'll just keep looking, J.R. Probably have to wait until November until the new models are available. Speaking of the river, you ever ride The Susquehanna River Trail from Columbia to Bainbridge? Beautiful route, but near Chickies Rock, the trail is allegedly "crawling" with copperheads...

Thanks, Buck. I'll try to find that.
