If you have a Piaggio dealer nearby, please go for a test ride. Never trust only one review. You might feel the bike entirely different than the reviewer.

Run through OCR and Google Translate (less than perfect but readable, edited some), here you go: " SUV-feeling on heavy Piaggio Strong stylish frame weighted down by engine and battery. Hard to get service on the Piaggo engine. Plaggio has sold millions of vespas and mopeds. So when they...

It's print-only but I'll upload a picture of it when I get home.

A Swedish e-bike magazine tested the Wi-Bike (among many other models) in its latest issue. It was not given very high ratings unfortunately. Major let-downs were the engine which is unique to the Wi-Bike, not found on any other brand, thus hard to service anywhere. And the bike was found to be...

How do the Rock Razors cope with snow?

Find a bike dealer that sells cheap chinese e-bikes. You'll certainly find a bike there that has no torque sensor. Take it for a spin. I've done it and I find them horrible. Not only did the bike have a 1 second delay before the assist kicks in but it also had the same delay when letting go of...

Interesting, have not seen this before. Their homepage says "This is not just a simple product for reducing hydraulics and cutting down braking performance." but fails to explain what it is, exactly, more than a pressure limiter. It appears to be a simple device that goes a long way in...

For the vast majority of cyclists, a brake system like the ones in automobiles would be the best. Most cyclists don't understand or want to understand the difference between front and rear brake, they just want to apply the brakes to slow down the bike in a safe manner. I'm not talking about...

To me it appears this company is an older consultant company now taken over by a younger family member trying to open up an e-bike business. They do not have a showroom, warehouse or service shop. The bikes are ordered from Germany as you order them from pro-e-bike. As a consumer you'd probably...

Did you get any wiser at the Swedish Bike Show?

Have fun at the Bike Show! I attended the Copenhagen Bike Show last weekend and it was awesome. Several R&M bikes there through a local dealer. Hope they have some in Stockholm too. Since you have only 11 km to travel I would not bother with a HS model anyway. The time difference is probably...

Don't worry about the law. I'm in Sweden too and ordered a Riese & Müller HS bike for my 35 km one way commute. It's scheduled to be delivered in three weeks. I intend to do proper registration and get traffic insurance but not using the license plate. The plate immediately distinguishes it as a...

Those are GeekPro cameras, right? Do they support, uhm what could it be called, cyclic recording(?) where it deletes the oldest files when low on space? So you don't manually have to clear up space after some time..

Riese & Müller Supercharger GX Rohloff HS with dual batteries. I live in a hilly area and have about 22 miles / 35 km one way on my commute. Figured this bike will do the trick.

There are many other IGH. Shimano Alfine, Nexus. And of course the older Sturmey Archer and Sachs Torpedoes. Many of these are well suited for everyday commuting with an e-bike. The need for massive amounts of gears just isn't there for most people when they have an electric motor to assist...

At a bike show last weekend I tried a couple of e-bikes with the Nuvinci rear hub. After those bikes I tried two bikes with derailleur gears. Honestly it felt like going back to medieval times. Gears crunching, waiting times for the chain to go from one end to the other of the rear cassette...

I attended Copenhagen Bike Show this weekend and had the joy of trying several of the Riese & Müller HS-models on a limited indoor testing area. The HS models all had the MT4e brake switch handles. They work very well and I loved the feature! Even the slightest touch and the brake lights...

Thanks Chris. Sorry I didn't mention I'm located in the EU. I've ordered the Supercharger GX Rohloff HS and was just curious if it comes with the brake light switching handles. I guess it does since, as far as I have researched, 45 km/h bikes classed as mopeds in the EU needs to have a rear...

Does the Supercharger GX Rohloff HS come with the Magura MT4e handles that has the rear brake light switch? R&M website doesn't mention this.
