    Bought a Gazelle Ultimate T10+

    Thanks for that info, I'm starting to see that on these class 3 bikes. But what I am seeing is the top name brands seem to run these class threes efficiently so you get some good range based off the different assist levels that you use. I'm looking close at the Bosch performance line speed...

    Bought a Gazelle Ultimate T10+

    Thanks for that update on the mph, but how hard is it to get to that 28 with turbo assist. I'm just curious because it seems like Bosch likes to taper off their assists from 25 to 28 mph, meaning you have to work hard with more effort to get to 28 mph. Is that so? Thanks in advance

    Vado SL 2 Carbon LTD premiered today!

    Well I am a new ebike Roadie and this SL2 EQ is for sure tempting me. But not knowing about the Brose motor and it's Power Band leaves me on the fence. Being all the high quality drive train parts and newly designed photo stimulates my wallet to excrete money! But until I can ride one to 28 mph...

    Bought a Gazelle Ultimate T10+

    Okay so how do you like the bike so far. And have you been able to hit the top speed of 28 mph? Thanks in advance

    Thanks for that, that's what I was thinking as well, but at least you're getting to 25 mph with a full assist assuming it's still fairly easy at that mph with a good Cadence. I have also been looking at the Brose motor with their new 1.2 motor which is supposed to give 50 newton meters of...

    Hello thanks for that response. I am looking at the ultimate T10 plus. Can you tell me how fast you have had that up to? Is it supposed to be a class 3 but I'm wondering if the Bosch drive system gives you a real efficient assistance up to 28 or do you have to work for it in the last mile per...

    Hello all, I am looking at the gazelle as well the T10. They have new models that use the internal rear hub as a transmission I forgot the term they use. But I did some research on that type of belt drivetrain, I was told from the dealer representative that these are much harder to free pedal...

    Electric Bike vs. Regular Bike

    I'm a long time road bike enthusiast. Where I live there is a riverbed that I can easily get a good 30 mile maintenance ride daily if I choose to. The only problem for me is motivation!! Every evening we have traditional winds that will give you a really nice push as far as you want to go but...

    Best ebike repair stand

    I've had a few stands in the past and this one is by far the easiest one to manage for my needs. It has had a 75 lb ebike on it with no problem. I'm sure it will take a lot more. Easy to use and folds up. When the weather is bad I can bring it in from the garage and set it up in my living room😄

    New specialized Vado 6.0 EQ e-bike

    Does anyone have one of these new models yet. Only interested if someone has the Vado 6.0 SL EQ bike. I would like to hear some positives and negatives especially attention to top speed. Thanks in advance

    19.5 mph top speed

    I'm looking to move up that way around Novato Petaluma Santa Rosa. Getting out of this armpit down here. Do you run a bike shop or is this something that you build on your own.?

    19.5 mph top speed

    Definitely has an impact on the overall mapping of the mph. Today I did a quick 25 Mi and noticed that at 19.3 with assist in sport mode I had absolutely no stress on the legs, it was beautiful. Then as I went over 19.5 I was still getting a assist in sport mode, but very little that I could...

    19.5 mph top speed

    Well I just used my perion head unit that came with the bike and saw that it was dropping off at 19.5 mph. I think the gazelle is the same so I would just go by that and have the dealer take a look at it. It was a fairly quick fix once he plugged it in. At first it was a little confusing because...

    19.5 mph top speed

    Update on the static 19.5 mph on my Verve + 3. I was able to take it to the local Trek dealership and they plugged it in and made a change to the wheel circumference. He told me that because they have some software written in Canada they use a different formula and then when Trek gets a hold of...

    19.5 mph top speed

    Well this morning I did a quick 30 Mi along the San Gabriel riverbed as we call it the San Gabriel wind tunnel. The winds were exceptionally strong coming back headwind! Definitely got my legs of workout and played around with the different modes, was able to maintain a 19.5 with strong head...

    19.5 mph top speed

    Well I talked to Bosch customer service rep last week and he mentioned that my 19.5 cutoff should actually be 20 mph cut off. He mentioned that it is an error in the programming and I need to take it to the local truck dealership to have and recalibrated to a larger wheel diameter.. I'll take...

    Velotric Summit 1 - My first 1000 Miles

    I'll chime in, great bike, I love that speed! Booyah! One thing I would like to ask though and I see this a lot on these types of bikes, what happens when you go through wet pavement? I know from experience that if I have any kind of nice clothes on with tires like that they are trashed, my...

    19.5 mph top speed

    Stuff on thanks for that info, yes I wanted to be able to have that option of turning off the lights when I'm on the riverbed those are bike trails here that have no cars just other cyclist. And days that are very bright and sunny and not traveled I at least have the option to turn them off. I...

    19.5 mph top speed

    I'm new to ebiking here in the states and I really like my Verve + 3. It's a class one so I can pretty much write it anywhere. We have the same restrictions class one on riverbeds and bike paths and class 3 on privately owned land. But mostly everybody is going much faster than 19.5. I'm just...
