    High end ebikes vs High end e scooters

    Weped SS holy carp batman 10K watts of power, i hope you have lots of experience. No ETA on the DT Storm yet, if you're buying now and can afford it/ride it go the Weped SS. I'm not really sold on DT rubber dampening system, i weigh 100kg and the stock setup for me is still too hard.

    Advice on eBikes to my facebook friends

    Perhaps it was chance but I wrote off my R1200GS in 2017, then fell over 2 times on its replacement a 2017 Honda Africa Twin. This was before i knew i had some body systems going haywire so that had some influence. The BMW was my worse crash even though it was slow, luckily all 3 did not involve...

    High end ebikes vs High end e scooters

    Not correct I get quite a workout on my Dualtron Thunder, you dont just stand there like a zombie on one of these, if you do well off to the hospital for you. For someone with my health issues i didnt think an electric scooter would work out but it has, great replacement since i dont ride...

    The first 1200 miles on Riese and Muller Supercharger 2

    SC2 with Rolhoff here it is also the most comfortable bike I have ever owned or ridden, belt drive means no more filthy black stuff. Expensive yes but i cant drive anymore so splash the cash i did. Only nitpick is i prefer the Suntour suspension seatpost on my other one to the Thudbuster on this...

    Battery contacts and water spill

    When i worked in aviation it was an approved product, I'm not actually sure how or what the engineers used it on but nothing gets put on in or around a passenger jet without multiple lines of testing data, analytics etc. I forget the certification names now but if it didn't have those certs with...

    Vario vs Rohloff on Superdelite with GX option on steep fire roads/trails

    I'll chime in briefly :) Personally for me its night and day my other bike is now almost 2 yrs old with previous gen. CX. Less noise, superior shifting characteristics, very capable software combo (cx/kiox) and of course a smaller and lighter motor which blends in with the bike much better...

    Vario vs Rohloff on Superdelite with GX option on steep fire roads/trails

    Yes i didnt like the Rolhoff at first with that gear shift delay even if they say its quick its still a delay that does not really happen with the Enviolo. Since i rode motorcycles most of my life before ebikes I'm always in the right gear and anticipating/knowing what I need before i get to a...

    I tried riding with my shoes but they flatly refuse to get on a bike and go with me :)

    Vario vs Rohloff on Superdelite with GX option on steep fire roads/trails

    I went with the Rolhoff because of this, the Vario is a great setup just doesnt have the same % gearing range its great on steep hills

    Loss of Assist as Battery Discharges

    Indeed as it will drain super fast and *usually* but not always a rise in tempertaure. There are some cells that can do high drain and retain temperature stability.

    Loss of Assist as Battery Discharges

    Exactly why us flashaholics pay attention to the cells we use in overdriven LED flashlights, 30Q being a popular choice for 18650.

    Which headlight is sufficient for trails at night?

    Any Lithium Ion battery with 'fire' in the name is an almost guaranteed fake.

    Which headlight is sufficient for trails at night?

    I have that exact light on one of my ebikes it was installed on the bike when i bought it. Not much spill but an ok urban light, theres so many out there i love my lights as much to see, and be seen. I use an Exposure M1K0 light with tap touch adjustment on 1 helmet i have my Olight M2R Pro zip...

    Loss of Assist as Battery Discharges

    Both my electric scooters do this and as mentioned you need a cc/cv controller to eliminate it, neither of my Bosch mid drive bikes do it. Same with my LED flashlights the better ones are fully regulated.

    mid drives are not for everyone/throttles are fine

    Dont know it sure doesnt bother me if its throttle or not, all i know is if i had a throttle i would use it because its there. Some hills around where I live even though not very long are steep. Plus my legs are pissweak due to health issues.

    Here in AU were stuck with 25kl/m and the idiots made throttles illegal on any ebike, rolls in Dualtron Thunder if i want fun above 25 klm/h..
