I brought it to the shop and the mechanic (competent guy) adjusted the alignment of the belt and back wheel slightly. That fixed like 90% of the “clunk” when starting to pedal. I asked him why is it still doing it sometimes and he said I had biked with it crooked for a while so it will take...

Hey folks, I have a Bosch Gen4 Speed with enviolo hub and gates belt, and I’ve noticed that when pedalling from zero speed, it often makes a “click” / “clonk” which is felt the pedal, roughly at the beginning of the pedal stroke. This happens more frequently at higher motor assist levels. Is...

Hi Stefan - i had a chat with SQLab and they said it's fine to use innerbarends 411 with a twist shifter as long as the barend is between the shifter and the brake. I think in my case the little screen thingy will actually not get in the way. Question - can one "clip" the Innerbarend onto the...

Thank you Stefan, that is indeed my set up. Twist shifter from Enviolo with the little screen below. Would it make sense to have innerbarends after the twist shifter, ie. closer to the middle of the handlebar? I understand that I would not be able to brake or shift gears from that position, so...

Hi folks, I would like to improve the comfort of my Enviolo-geared e-bike (with twist-shifter) and I was looking at SQLabs innerbarends, which seems to be a very interesting value proposition. However I am not sure there is a setup where they can be used with a twist shifter. Has someone...

Hi folks, I'm riding with a new SR Suntour Mobie25, 45mm travel front fork on a speed pedelec (28mph/45kmh). Vast majority of my time is on asphalt. I find that when I do some hard stops, I do not feel the fork depress much. In my previous speed pedelecs a hard stop like that would mean a...

Thank you Stefan - outstanding reply as usual.

Hi folks, How much better is a Kinekt 2.1 seatpost compared to a standard suspension seatpost, when driving on mostly OK asphalt?

It was Schwalbe Super Moto X for the All-terrain vs Bontrager E6 Hardcase Lite on the Commuter. I don't think it's a big difference? I'm talking about a big difference in performance and behavior from the two bikes folks.

The tire size difference: 584-62 for the all terrain vs 584-60 for the Commuter. Is that a significant difference?

They do indeed look very similar! I wish Specialized was making a Vado 6.0 Speed with IGH, then I would be on to that like fire. For some reason I have convinced myself that I don't wish to concider anything without IGH and belt for my commuting ride. It rains frequently in my area.

Thank you very much for your valuable feedback. I had the same feeling about this otherwise amazing "all-terrain" beastly ebike - it felt noisy and weirdly tuned for on-road commuting. It was making me wish for my old Gen2 Bosch motor - not a good feeling to have on a brand new and expensive...

Did Bosch release a firmware over the last 1.5 year that drastically changed the behaviour of the motor..?

Thank you, I thought the same about teeth count, but both bikes have the same: 55T chainring, 22T cassette. Tire size and pressure are also very much comparable. What else could it be? Essentially the all-terrain was “max difficulty” for me at about 85% of its gear range, whereas the commuter...

Hi folks, I recently got to try two different s-pedelec e-bikes, sporting the Bosch Performance Speed Gen4 paired with an Enviolo hub. The first bike (branded as “all-terrain”) seemed to have a wider range of gears, with the high end being difficult to use even with max assist. My cadence was...

Hey folks, I’ve had a Nuvinci N360 hub in the past which was sending vibrations through the drivetrain at most gear ratios, particularly the lower ones. The vibrations are felt at the pedals. I thought there might be something wrong with it, but recently I tried a newer Enviolo TR and it had...

What are your opinions on the front and seat suspension of the Trek? Are they worth much over the non suspended parts of the Stromer and also compared to more advance posts like Kinekt Body float?

I tested a couple different Bosch gen 4 CX Speed bikes and one was much louder than the Trek. Maybe it was my impression? Can the same engine sound much louder in different implementations?

Thanks for the heads up folks - the moped restriction is not an issue. I've been riding a speed pedelec (Bosch mid engine Speed Gen2) for a few years (until it got stolen) so I'm quite aware of the behavior of the bike. I couldn't tell from a small test drive a big difference between the...

I guess range will be around 70-120Km depending on how cold it is. I guess you’re right. It’s just nicer to have more than less :-) What I am wondering more is: Is the hub motor of Stromer still a valid design compared to the mid-drive motor? Which one of the two is more efficient, handles...
