This is not meant for consumers but maybe it is useful when problem solving Turbo issues.

I could not find any English articles but here it's in Finnish. The houses need total rebuild, 27 people evacuated. Internal battery short is suspected, either manufacture error or from damage to battery. It was said that the short heated and lit up the motor which then caused the fire.

Get a bike that uses thru axle, couldnt be simpler. Unplug the powercord, open one hex, pull out the axle, lift out the tire et voilà.

Winter was one motivator for me as well, although I rode in winter already with a normal bike. But an ebike should push through snow more easily. 74% say no shower needed. I am equally sweaty with an ebike so shower is recommended. But I try to ride as fast as I can and do it in eco mode. I...

Today newspapers reported that a fire which destryoyed a five family rowhouse was started by an e-bike battery. This has been confirmed by the police technical investigation. Not much details were given about the bike but the fire had started after the owner came back from a ride and left the...

Stiff frame has also the advantage that you dont lose energy in the shock movement and save weight as well. I think I would go for a non-suspended frame still despite the experiences on the Turbo. Maybe a steel frame though. From Specialized spec page (Sirrus) I understood that is a carbon...

Your bike looks very much like the Turbo. How does it compare in ride, stiff as well?

While I think they could have tried to integrate the display a bit better and not leave it sticking out of the handle bar so much, it is a nice idea to make the display to communicate with the phone nav app. Apparently they use Naviki software and the maps are based on OpenStreetMap. This has...

Of the above links, my favorite in layout is the WSJ, because of its balanced and clear looks. To find reviews, maybe you could put a bike model selector similar to the one on Edmunds main page in the top section like now there is in the WSJ main page is for quotes (Stoxx, Nikkei etc). Check out...

Havent been riding so much lately.

2-ply is the dark ages. 3-ply is a must. 1 ply?

In a way relief they didnt make it "chocolate" colour as one might have expected with the sponsor being C. Bloch.

Another one in the R-category. Found this Croatian made bike in the pedelecforum: http://www.greyp-bikes.com/ It has some interesting features like the 5" color display computer with fingerprint identification. Battery chemistry is something I had never heard of, lithium nanophosphate. The...

It will have the Magura MT5 quad piston brakes which should give you all the stopping power you'll ever need. A nice plus is the 1 Amp 5V miniUSB socket to power devices. If it can do even half of the advertised range it is already a lot.

They show up OK. I was fifth or sixth on the list last time I looked, probably not anymore, though, as I am not commuting now.

I did register under Finland. As it was possible I didn't think there would be a problem. I didn't even know there were prizes.

Similar system as in my old Shimano 7-speed, but this one seemed easier to do the backward rotation of the changer because there was small handle for pushing. Mine doesnt have anything to hold from and I used to take out the tube from the other without detaching the gear changer cable because...

If you buy, for example, a Bionx D-500 to get an s-ped, it is already close to 2k. Add a bike with quality components it's another 2k. You would be left with a frame that was not necessarily built for such speeds and have low stealth looking set up. And you have to install it. I know there are...

Google says they are harmless to humans. At least the california subspecies.
