Hi, After I have bought my e-bike (Giant Explore E+ 1 or Specialized Turbo Vado 4, not sure yet), I plan to buy Ortlieb back panniers. It's not clear whether bike racks are compatible with the Ortlieb QR system. What do I have to check in the bike specifications exactly to be sure? Thank you...

Thanks a lot Stefan Mikes for the detailed reply.

What max range can you ride with one battery charge? I'm trying to assess if the max range of a Vado 4 (average conditions) would be enough for me.

Hi, I read that Brose motors are less reliable than other brands, and they consume more battery power than other brands? What is the battery range in normal conditions (just a few uphills, good road, not too windy)? Do you find that motor more silent than Bosch motors? Thanks a lot for your...

Thanks a lot pmcdonald, very informative.

Hi, This bike looks good on paper to me, but I read very negative reviews (bad electrical system, stops working in the rain, etc.). What's your experience with it? I plan to do bike touring with it (80 to 120 km rides each day for a week or several weeks). I like that there's no derailleur...

Yes, the Bosch Performance line is said to be more quiet. I think I have to test one.

My rides will usually be 80 to 120 km long.

What model is it? Thank you.

Thank you for your message. The prices are too steep for my budget unfortunately. I would prefer a central motor.

Hi all! I need an e-bike for touring over days or weeks, so fitted with a battery with a long life. Today, I've just tested the Riese and Muller Charger 4. It's an excellent bike, I loved it, apart from one thing: the noise of its Bosch Gen4 CX motor. I don't think I can get used to it. So...

You did not read my too sophisticated post entirely, I was talking about free versions...

Grade is also very important to me, and I tried all the free versions of apps. Conclusion: none can enable me to use Grade as a parameter when choosing a route. For instance, I want a route from A to B where grades are less than 5% or 10%... Biking apps are seriously lacking.

Any new models for 2023?

I was thinking of holding the gimbal in my hand.

Hi, Most videos I see on YT are made with a GoPro. GoPros are certainly good and convenient, but they are expensive, and I already have a smartphone that can shoot good videos. Did you try to shoot videos on your bike using your smartphone on a gimbal? I see there are gimbals on the market...

Hi, Is there a free app (without constraints of time, about the number of maps, etc., totally free) in which one of the criteria to choose a route is the percentage of uphills? For instance, I want my route to have less than 5% uphills. Thank you for your help. Cheers
