I just took the Vado 4.0 on the same ride this morning, at the same approx. speeds... I made it back home with about 60% battery left. :)

I was going to get a larger chain ring for my eMTB so I didn't have to pedal like a madman at the higher speeds. That's no longer a consideration. However I can see the benefit of a larger chainring to reduce the wear on your smallest sprocket. 🤔

So now I have to totally and completely rethink my ebike rides, and even my ebikes! You're right @Stefan Mikes the Stance E+ is a mountain bike. I bought it because it was full suspension, and I softened the ride so that it was riding like a Buick. More recently I threw the sensor on the...

Good for you! Congrats on the new bike! Mike...

That's a cool calculator!

So I experienced range phobia this morning on my bike ride. It was just a 20 mile ride, and my Stance E+2 was fully charged. Granted I used high assist, and my speeds were consistently just over 20mph... Just past the halfway point my battery indicator dropped down to 40%. Was I even going to...

I second that. It sounds like the skewer is not exerting enough clamping pressure. Get better skewers and/or add locking washers.

Two thoughts come to mind... 1) There is a burr on one of the pistons? 2) You got something in there like sand or a metal chip that's binding up? I've never had to deal with anything like that before... Let me know what you find!

Nice banana bike, er I mean SL! Ha!

That's steel, right? More flex in steel than aluminum... Could be why your stays are moving! You were not clear if the movement was temporary or permanent.

Al, Yeah, you forgot price. Over 1K 🤣 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B097D8Q8VW/ref=ox_sc_saved_title_1?smid=A1N0I9ALEK3OXT&psc=1

Ah good information... they really made that a closed up system, didn't they. Heck, you even have to use their battery. It sounds like IBM back in the day when they tried to close up their system with the PCjr I think it was called... or maybe I am thinking about microchannel architecture...

What do you guys think of the Bafang M625?

Newish video of the Bafang M625

Actually, a better option is to convert this into an ebike... I've got the bottle battery... gonna order the mid-drive motor tomorrow... Everything else is already there... 9 speeds, disc brakes, light weight, comfortable riding...

We are not that bad here... just about to tip over into the $5 range... I'm sure people are going crazy here... looking for alternate forms of transportation or ways to save money on gas. So, what's your best option? 1990 Geo Metro XFI or ebike? Ha! I'll take one of these, but in a mid drive...

Good pick! That's a nice bike. Now go for a ride! ;)

I'm not thrilled with my Cloud9 seats! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000H87PUI Currently testing this ARS seat: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0015RASQS this Serfas: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001T4Z876 and for my cruiser, this Classic Saddle...

Dang, I didn't catch this... I somehow ordered a KMC X8 chain, because the Amazon title said it was an ebike chain. I don't doubt it's a very good chain, but the KMC website doesn't call it an ebike chain. https://www.kmcchain.com/en/series/x Meanwhile, KMC does have an ebike series chain...

So I've got this DIY ebike, that I suspect I will be able to keep on running, one way or another, for the next 20 years if I want... Not so sure about my LBS bikes... Also not so sure I'll be able to find parts on ebay...
