I am well aware of how a hub drive motor applies power to the wheel but read what I said. I am not talking about hub drive motors. I am simply pointing out reviews usually bring up a breaking chain possibility when the same amount of power will be applied to a chain/drive train by someone riding...

I don't believe I have met your 'old' wife so how would she know .;) No this sudden outburst from me was prompted by reading a review which claimed to be "a useful analysis of hub vs mid drive setups". There was a number of long paragraphs extolling the virtues of the hub drives and very...

I've read a number of discussions/reviews on the merits of hub versus mid drive motors. One of the oft quoted disadvantages of a mid drive layout is that the drive puts more strain on the chain making it prone to breaking. When you think about it it will take say X kw (or Xhp) to move a bike...

Did the replacement of the controller solve the problem ??? As mentioned earlier I have the same problem and despite going back to the dealer twice, the problem has not been solved. (dealer is 2 hours and 145ks (each way)down the island) The first 'fix' was to replace the motor, thinking that...

I have the Brose motor and the Brose LCD display. In my case the display would light up but no power supplied to the motor. The display has a bar on each side, one for the amount of effort I put in, one for the amount of battery supplied. neither worked.

You're not alone with this problem. I had similar a few weeks ago. All the lights on the display would come on but when pedaling the side indicators to show amount of peddle effort and battery effort would not display and no power. It was suggested that after removing and replacing...

I always wear my helmet, well when riding my bike at least. We insist on it in our cycling group (140+ members)(no helmet; no ride) and we also strongly encourage floro jackets (99% compliance).

Over time I have had 3 different mirrors. Needed them when leading the group to be sure all were following. Going too fast and clobbering a wall got rid of one. Dropping the bike which always landed mirror side down broke the other two. Solved the problem by appointing someone else as Leader and...

A suitable ending. We have a old bloke (79) in our group who vary rarely peddles. He only travels at about 9--12kph but coming to a small hill he doesn't increase power. Stalls and falls off a lot.

I have serious reservations about my greater deceleration load going through the front wheel. On a motorcycle you have the greatest mass in the motor and associated equipment. On a cycle the greatest mass is you. Up a lot higher. If you take a line from the mass of the motorcycle through the...

Get yourself a hi-viz jacket. Green or yellow. Wear it all the time. Well when you're on your bike anyway.

Hey.. I resemble that remark..:rolleyes: I was out yesterday on a 35km ride and max speed was 43km (downhill assist) Turned 80 in July.

The upgrade gives 4 levels of power and increases the upper speed assist from 25 to 32kph. I usually ride at level 2 but on a hill go to 3 or 4 depending on grade. Hoping to see the agent next week but there is a 12 hour time delay between here and Germany so any unresolved problems could...

I don't think the battery level has much to do with it. I've had my E-stream EVO/FS 3 29 for 8 months now and during that time I have only once used more than 20% of the battery capacity. Rides have been generally 25km with some up to 40k. Since the upgrade to the latest software and...

Our bike lanes are on the road and you are separated from the cars/trucks by a 6 inch strip of white paint. In our cycling group we insist on everybody wearing hi-viz vests and plan our rides as much as possible on off-road paths.

I ride with a group and the other week the group stopped and one guy near the back didn't notice until too late. Grabbed both brakes and went straight over the handlebars. The helmet protected his head but he fractured C1 and C2 in his neck. Was in hospital for a few weeks with a halo frame...

We encourage all the riders (60 to 70 on any day) in our groups to wear Hi-viz yellow. Some wear the Hi-viz orange with the reflective panels.

That was going to be my next question. What is the best GPS app that can record speed, distance, cumulative total distance, I've been trialing a few but the last one "Bike Computer" didn't have a cumulative distance facility and drained the cellphone battery in an hour-n-a-quarter. The Power...

Have had my E-Stream EVO/FS 3 29 for about a month now and am loving it and still learning. One thing that I'm trying to find out more about is if there is a better controller. The controller on my bike only shows the speed and the power level I am using. I would like a more information on the...
