    Experiment: Riding e-bike without the "e"

    One time at band camp,.. JK - I was once 27 miles out then when I swapped batteries I realized I forgot to switch the charger over the night before. I had 27 miles to cover with two bars, basically picked my battles using the lowest assist on a few hills and no assist the majority of the ride...

    Just had the rare double tail wind experience! Shaved 20 minutes off a 25 mile loop, funny because I just tuned and cleaned the bike, magic!

    Experiment: Riding e-bike without the "e"

    I once dropped my wallet and doubled back on my 25 ride without the battery (it was drained by then). Most notable to me was just getting off the line, once up to speed it was not too bad, I even passed a roadie going up a 400 foot climb. Heck now I don't even like touring mode, spoiled by Turbo...

    Body Float Suspension Seat Post Thoughts

    The small elastomer probably prevents hard bottoming out. Do not try and tighten the top side screw, mine was held in place with some silicone, now some electrical tape does that job. -S

    Disc Brake Pads: can you buy thicker pads that last longer?

    That's still crazy wear, do you use Shimano pads on Shimano brakes? I could imagine a scenario where someone might end up with counterfeit or aftermarket pads that are crap. Regen is way overrated on bikes. -S

    Disc Brake Pads: can you buy thicker pads that last longer?

    Do you happen to live at the top of Pikes Peak? On my Dash I got around 2k per set, now I did have to adjust them way too often. Tried metallic pads recently (on another bike) and got rid of them in a matter of days. Maybe some of the third party brands, power stop or whateves would buy you some...

    Taking the Bosch motor down to 0 range....

    That's some serious elevation. I've only taken mine down to 4 miles range remaining, usually swap batteries at 2 or even 3 bars remaining (12 - 16 miles out/full turbo). 'Battery meter still has one tick, and power is still applied' Power to the motor or is it just that the display remains...

    Purchasing over internet (vs local bike shop) - tax savings

    BTW - Cali may still get the tax on out of state purchases depending on how you handle your April 15th taxes next year. -S

    Friends Don't Let Friends Ride E-Bikes

    From Banana seat to BMX to MTN to Touring, City bikes, Cruisers, High end road bikes I've just about done it all. At one point maybe 5 years ago I was riding a cheap cruiser so often that I was able to blow past a good percentage of spandex clad logo wearing weekend warriors on my $300 single...

    eBikes like Specialized Turbo X

    Nope. They just use the same mechanical disc brakes. It's one of those storm sondors like typo :) Well that suck dog doo. -S

    eBikes like Specialized Turbo X

    One of the Diamondback e-bikes is very Dash like but comes with hydraulic brakes, a major fault of the Dash. Prices are in your range as I understand it. -S

    cannondale kinneto headshok vs haibike sduro cross rc

    You must be in or near Europe, 250 watt motors. I'm not a fan of Suntour forks and suspect that thing will become slow and barely useful inside of 4 months. I do like Haibike frames. I have no experience with the Cannondale's linear fork so I can't speak to it's performance. I've seen chips...

    2013 E3 Path ongoing problem with spokes breaking on the rear wheel!

    Who built the wheel? It is easy to over-tighten a hub motor lace. I'd take it back to the wheelsmith. -S

    eBike for the Big Man?

    Thanks J.R. - I don't think many people bother with searching forums, that is why I sometimes repeat myself, not something I do often in person. Funny backstory, my Pop expressed an interest in an e-bike conversion (recumbent) so I turned him onto this and a few other sites. Shortly afterwards...
