Multi-use path.

Yes, the current version of the Honda M 8 (and it is a Honda) has old lead acid batteries. However, the M 8 came to my attention in a show video which matched the M 8 with a new battery tech said to, while being heavy in weight and low in charge, had the saving feature of a 10 minute...

Collectors' items, all!

But Honda has come back into the e-bike market with the M-8 which if you look closely, or check the spec's has crack arms and otherwise seems, to my understanding of the Class 2 E-Bike standards. And that's my point, it's a shocker, at least to me than Honda will be making e-bikes. As noted...

Honda has an ebike, a scooter with crank arms and 20 mph limit. Your thoughts when you see one of these pop up on the MUP. (Link Removed - No Longer Exists)

When I have a tire question like that I go to an online dealer like biketiresdirect.com (I am sure there are other sellers as good or better) and use their filtering system to display the choices. Still I can spend hours dithering between choices. gl

I guess I'm near the other end of the spectrum. 2,600 miles and four oilings and still going strong with original Vado chain, though a new KMC 136 link e-bike chain is on order. gl

Love the term for analog bikes, a-bikes. Aaahh the double entendre.

Exactly. The new lighter motor may bring a cascade of lost weight. Couldn't happen soon enough.

And some models don't have a carbon fork, and all models permit negotiating for a suspension seatpost,

Found it: KMC X10eT 10 speed with missing link.

Need to be replacing my Vado 3.0 chain, but have been unable to find the spec's and length. Specialized's manual and website are silent and frustrating. So has anyone changed their Vado chain and will a standard 10 speed chain work, or is a special e-bike variant be required? As to length...

On one hand I hear your argument, but a thought creeps into my mind and I don't know if arises from ignorance or insight. Which it is will come from your comments. The thought is that Stromer is a German company and in the German market 99% of bikes sold are slow 25 hm/h. Fair enough, so...

Have begun hearing new sound from my Brose (Vado 3.0) motor, and am concerned with mileage just going past 2,500. Present is a grating sound seeming to emanate from the left side and noticeable on hard hill climbs. Also when the motor is turned off, pedaling is very heavy, too heavy. Took a...

Now I'm becoming concerned. My guess is the "laser gun" for reading your Brose motor temp quickly is really this gizmo...

But downhill wind resistance dissipates kinetic energy disproportionately. How disproportionate? Check out Specialized's mileage estimator, ascents suck up the battery power. An example (with same variables, rider weight, etc.): flat 67 miles, hills 34, mountains 22.

As a point of reference. I bought a Vado 3.0 demo/rental with with 550 miles on it (50 of which I had rented and rental fee was refunded). The dealer treated it as a new bike sale with full manufacturer's warranties and all service in first thirty days, no charge. Note, this was done in...

There are other chargers out there. This EBR thread has many resources in it, https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/e-bike-battery-guide.24443/ For example: https://www.ebikes.ca/product-info/cycle-satiator.html and...

Absolutely super cheap. So cheap that its almost (or maybe not) "too good to be true."

Rental plans are damn reasonable . . . if the bikes were charged and available.
