Nice tires, lucky you :cool:

Hi RFH, In my case, I too suspect there might be an old firmware installed on the LCD display since it was the demo Nitro City 2015 showcased by KGK, importer of BH/Segway/Stromer in Sweden, in their warehouse; probably never updated. My LBS, Outpost in Solna/Stockholm, told me earlier this...

No, I don't have that bad boy. But I'm lurking at another mean bad boy for winter time in Stockholm/Sweden: the AWD BH Easy Motion Big Bud Pro. https://electricbikereview.com/easy-motion/big-bud-pro/ Big fan of Quattro-type tech on cars in winter conditions so I'm biased :) T. PS: getting...

Plus the additional weight and wind resistance of the bodies (bike + rider position) ;-) The only viable option is regenerative braking, pretty complex on a pedelec (1) since your engine is not located where you break most (ie. the front wheel) and (2) it'd need to trigger as soon as you stop...

Hej eagamer80 ! I just went through the process of buying a demo BH Nitro City Speedbike in Stockholm at Outpost in Solna and insure it. The person you talked to at the insurance company was probably not familiar with the 2016 regulations: you must provide a european COC (Certificate Of...

If you know the current tire size on the bikes you buy, you don't need to figure out the rim's width to replace them: just buy the same size. With only one caveat for winter tires: the limitation will not come from rim size but from the fenders/mudguards being too close to the tire, maybe ;-)...

Hello Amanda, Sorry I can't help you with the rim sizes, I guess only the manufacturer can answer that question 100%. I was thinking about your quest ;-) while riding on a hardened-snow bike path yesterday and a few points came up. 1. Riding on hard-snow paths is usually quite bumpy, some...

Hello Amanda, I'm new to the e-bike landscape, not so to electrical 18650 Li-On batteries and electrical cars (Tesla), but I can relate to the winter conditions as I've spent several ones in Stockholm/Sweden and before that in the Alsace-Lorraine region of eastern France (if you've read about...

Greetings everyone, Since I couldn't find definitive information about the exact version that Sondors is shipping to Europe: - Is it the 350 watts or 250w motor ? - Is the speed limited to 20 mph / 32 kmh (US specs) or 16 mph / 25 kmh by hardware or software ? I contacted Sondors Sales Support...

And I have the reverse issue: my display indicates KPH and I'm getting MPH (ex: throttle cuts at 12 instead of 20 and top speed shows 28 -so far- instead of 45). Another -more annoying- issue: my front light keeps flashing after the first 30 seconds, I can't get it to stay in fixed mode. Plus I...

Hej ! I'm chiming in on the discussion regarding fatter tires and comfort vs performance. There's an ongoing debate going on in the Road circles about dropping the historical idea that "Narrow tires with max pressure" is best for performance. Here are two links for podcast and videos. -...

Hej Strezi ! The tires are factory/OEM Schwalbe Marathon Greenguard 40-622 indeed, probably the best value for money you can get now in terms of rolling resistance (RR) and puncture resistance today. https://electricbikereview.com/easy-motion/2015-nitro-city/ Here's a detailled report on their...

Hej ! After doing a bit (aka A LOT :)) of research online in the past weeks, including watching all of Court's reviews and road-testing different brands available in Stockholm/Sweden (Batavus, Haibike, Nishiki, Scott, Skeppshult, Trek and BH/Easy Motion), I made the jump yesterday. Just in time...

Greetings, I've looked Court's video reviews and read different forum threads but I don't think I saw this dual match of "BH/Easy Motion Nitro City vs Specialised Turbo X" discussed in the +/- 4000$ category. Most threads are about the "Specialised Turbo xyz vs Stromer ST xyz" but they seem to...

Indeed, 25kph is rather low for any rider in decent shape on a decent bike on a decent road. Riders using a a speed display are used to see 30+ figures and I'd be super happy if we had the same legal limit here in EU than in the States (20mph = 32 kph). But for me, moving from peaks above 25kph...

(Note: I realize my post is about a Skeppshult bike, not a Specialized as for this section, but I don't know how to move it) Hej Roja, You are absolutely right, one thing I forgot to mention is: here in Sweden the brand Skeppshult is one of the last two "major" historical & manufactured...

Hej everyone ! Just a quick note after I posted twice without proper introduction. What brought me here is the amazing number/quality of Court's reviews, probably the best collection for english-speakers (or non dutch/german ones ^!^) I don't own an ebike yet but right into the buying process...

That Litelok demo video is really fun to watch :-DDD More seriously, what they show is totally disconnected from the real Motus Operandi of a decent bike thief today. Ok, maybe not the bolt-cutter part - and for cheap Walmart cable locks only- but the saw, the torch and the grinder ? Come on...

Hej ! Nice to read a report from Stockholm ;-) I haven't made the jump yet to an ebike but I have my target already: the Skeppshult ElCykel 8 as it's the only available with the full Shimano Steps + Alfine IGH 8 + Electronic Di2 gearshifters. http://www.cykelkraft.se/skeppshult-cykel-herr-2016...
