thanks for sharing your experiences! IIRC, the 5.0 version has a brighter light (though it might still not be up to our standards) as well as a "suspension" / flexi handlebar in my opinion either model should be upgraded with a cirrus suspension seatpost to smooth the ride the 5.0 also has...

Well, no takers on guessing what wierdness I saw on my ride so I'll post this video. At 3:29 you can see what it was that I finally came across. Just to make things more fun all the dead overgrowth on the sides of the tracks was catching fire and the last car had four fire hoses to put out the...

Thanks to everyone for this thread. For me, biking has always been about experiencing the world from a bike and the many places and experiences that open up to you when you ride. The exercise is welcome, but secondary. If you will settle yourself into your chair and open your imagination, I'll...

along with all the other reasons people are more interested in biking at the moment, perhaps part of it is that traffic is down in most places, I hope people like the change and love their bikes and when things eventually get busy again they are more motivated to invest in cycling and hiking...

we have a winner! the webpage posted has /ca/ in the URL still not a bargain by any means

Nice photo, Stefan, we've got something in common, I attended school two blocks from Murányi utca. Many fond memories of BP. Also to make an attempt to stay on topic, the Kinekt is worth the money.

Thanks for sharing your experience. Glad you are enjoying your Creo as well as your Vado, it might interest you that your Wh consumption comparison is in the same ballpark as those between the Levo SL and the regular Levo. I agree with those (including the lead engineer behind the Levo SL) who...

Alaskan, you have great patience. High mile enthusiast riders really need to have two ebikes in order to stay on the road all of the time, I wish that weren't true. A little input from Rohloff would be nice here. Has anyone checked the German language forums for discussion of this issue? They...

Some manufacturers build the torque sensor into the motor. The small, flat gold structure surrounded by white just to the right of the thumb is the strain gauge which measures the deformation of the axle of the hub motor which is the partly threaded cylinder running along the right side of...

Hard to imagine what the 1917 flu must have been like with so little medical knowledge at the time. Harder still to envision what experiencing the medieval plague was like - for those who survived it, that is. Humanity are a resilient and smart bunch these days, though we are paying a price now...

aren't marketing teams just professionals at letting their imaginations get the better of them? You've made so many extraordinary posts with excellent photos and commentary - you hold yourself to the highest standard. As we know, bikes and ebikes in particular are deceptively simple looking...

I should have looked at your other post, sorry. It's an attractive bike and you got an unbelievable price including the spare battery. The biggest problem I had with the 500W Bionx D motor was that it looked like a pizza was inserted between the spokes, it had such a large diameter in order to...

Never ridden the 500W D motor which has a small cult following of its own. Unlocking a Bionx allows the motor to continue to attempt to assist above the usual cutoff speed of 20 mph. It does not alter the power curve of the motor or change it's performance below the cutoff speed in any way...

That's a shame. Perhaps you would have preferred the 350 watt version. I've run both and my original 250 watt kit was - and still is after 13 years and many thousands of miles - amazing when given a few extra volts. That includes power up to 1250 watts and rides in monsoon rains and over...

at the moment isn't the question "where is it not legal to ride?" both states I ride in have stay at home orders in effect which explicitly encourage biking as long as social distancing is maintained off to ponder it on my bike...

Bike stability, road surface, rider skill, how empty or crowded the road or trail is... There are definitely times when all of these align and it is a great way to stretch on 3-8 hour rides.

Thanks for all of your thoughts on the matter. This is just one of those academic issues I think about while stargazing at night. Still interesting to me that smaller, lighter riders experience the same bike model so very differently from larger and heavier riders and it more often than not is...

Many ebike models, like the Specialized Levo or Creo, come in sizes from S to XL to accommodate various sizes of rider, but all with the same size battery and the same motor. Ebike classes and watt limits take no account of the mass of the "vehicle." From cars to boats to planes, when...

Thanks for sharing your experiences and insights. If a Stromer came with a mid-drive motor it might look similar. Looks like you've also swapped out the springs on your Body Float, is that because you aren't using them in tandem with a rear suspension or maybe just that you were swapping out...

The only energy expended by the battery that is recoverable is the energy used to accelerate the mass of the combined rider and bike or to climb hills. All of the energy used from the battery (or your legs) while you are cruising at a constant speed and not gaining altitude is impossible to...
