I was assuming and I emphasize assuming: that it is combined power. Then I was taking the 50/50 distribution below that and assigning 50% to me. I could be way offbase though.

Oh man, I really should have waited and gone for the Nyon upgrade rather than Kiox. Because this is the single feature I would most like to have on my Allant. I didn't realize how valuable this was until I had it with Specialized and Mission Control. So this won't be enabled in any way for Kiox...

I have Kiox and if I launch eBike Connect prior to my ride it tracks everything and also exports to Strava. I think if I launch after the ride, eBike Connect gets the stats but not the route and it is not exportable to Strava. I'm not 100% certain on that however as I'm still learning my way...

I like looking over these charts in Bosch's eBike Connect but not having a cycling background, I'm not sure the significance of all of the data. This ride caught my eye because, in comparing to all of my other rides, I hit a peak power output of 592 watts. It was just the other day but I can't...

I think you're close on the latter. They explain it somewhat here: https://www.bosch-ebike.com/en/products/batteries/ Refill your energy tank in no time Charge times and service life A charge cycle refers to the full recharging of a battery in a single charging session or several partial...

Just got a Bosch diagnostic report yesterday on the Powerpack 500 that came with my Allant. 42 full charge cycles, max battery temp 96F, min battery temp 49F and duration in thermal protection 0 minutes. Delivered Ah over lifetime 513.

I did a 20 mile ride in mid-30s temperatures. Yes, the bike feels like it accelerates faster. But what I noticed more was greater comfort. I rode at a higher PSI and it felt more comfortable - as felt both in the hands and the hind quarters. The Onyx Vesper hub is silent The Redshift is a...

Reach is a bit short I agree. I like the future shock mainly because I don't feel it. If I'm standing and put my weight into it pushing down I can feel it. But riding not so much. That combined with the carbon bar I added and the it feels pretty comfortable on the hands. Range extender dead...

The science experiment is all set. WTB carbon gravel rims, Aerothan tubes, Onyx Vesper hub and the Marathon E-Plus tires. I haven't ridden it yet but will do so today. I say science experiment because I'm justifying this expense by saying I need to contribute to the forum community by proving...

I suggested earlier but it didn't get any traction with the forum managers - the creation of user groups with the ability to see a library of user groups - and to join - and to request new groups. There are times I want to ping a specific community for advice and just posting a new thread might...

Thanksgiving we stayed home - wife and I and the cats - no going out, no socializing. In normal years, I fly home to see my dad a couple of weeks before Thanksgiving. But he lives in El Paso and you've probably seen what is going on there with overflowing morgues etc. And my wife, normally flies...

Thanks. Think I found it. AtranVelo Rex-DV. That stock Pletscher is a hazard.

So of all these mods being discussed here, the kickstand caught my attention. What kickstand is this you are planning to buy? I hate the Pletscher kickstand on the Allant 9.9s. If the bike is pointed downhill or you give it a push the kickstand will not hold. And I lost the rubber foot as well...

I'm interested in the weight savings but also the claimed extra flat protection (vs standard tube). We (LBS and I) are building wheels for the Vado SL 5. I swapped the stock Specialized tires for the Schwalbe Marathon E-Plus which is a heavier and stiffer tire. I thought shaving some weight on...

I opted to take Redshift's Black Friday deal and purchase a seatpost for the Vado SL 5 - which currently has the latest version Thudbuster ST installed. I figured since I have Kinekts and Thudbusters, that I need to try a Redshift for comparison. Also added a POC to my helmet collection - the...

Got me some. Will report back in future as to performance.

On a few mornings in prior years, on my commute to work, I've passed deer eating just off the side of the road in a large urban park. My normal speed there would be about 25 mph but I slow it down not knowing what they might do. This is inside the City of Detroit. I don't mind the deer as much...

Yes agree. I found etrailer to be extremely helpful via a phone call when I was trying to sort out the hitch problems with my Subaru. Really friendly person was also really knowledgeable and kinda took me step by step through what I needed to do and order.

35 per bike? huh? I have the Kuat NV 2.0 with a 2" hitch (carries 2) and I think it is 60 per bike. Thule Easyfold is similar. Probably at least a half dozen threads in the forums on hitch mounted racks.

I did hope to 2nd car substitute. Covid has killed my best arguments - that I made to my wife - of why we could go from 2 vehicles to 1. Those arguments were that I could use mass transit on days I don't ride my bike to work. And, I could afford a lot of Uber trips with all that money we would...
