Nobody would say Marts has got a water ingress after several weeks of riding a Vado SL.. :)

Maybe if they dropped the price? US$ 11 k is S-Works but not a hub-drive :)

According to Specialized support, SL e-bikes are IP 56 while full power Turbos are IP 67 water resistant.

I could see guys in suits riding traditional road bikes in the City of London 😊

It doesn't change the fact my Vado SL has never electrically broken despite being ridden in any weather including frosty winter, torrential rains, creeks crossed on several gravel races, deep puddles etc. The SL system is water resistant. The trouble Marts is experiencing could result from many...

I had no single electrical failure over 3 ½ years and I ride my Vado SL all year long and in any weather. It happened to me to ride through a creek with the motor fully immersed in water. No issues. I hope no one will be as brave as to claim the Polish weather is more lenient than the one in...

A quick glance made me sure the ACE would not fit on neither handlebar of my e-bikes, and it would decidedly not fit the dedicated Wahoo mount of Redshift 😑

As I can see it, my Roam v2 is everything I need.

How so?

Stromer used to sell its extremely expensive, overengineered, proprietary, hub-drive motor S-Pedelecs mostly in the countries where 45 km/h (28 mph) is allowed, and it is mostly Switzerland and the United States. Elsewhere (notably in the European Union), Stromers fall in the category of L1e-B...

A real beauty! How did you solve the tail light dilemma? If only it was that simple! ;) 2021 Vado SL 4.0 EQ, 2024 gravel racing edition :) Another impression from the Sunday gravel ride in cold, mud, puddles and deep potholes: The Redshift ShockStop suspension seat-post turned out to be...

Ever installed a self-extracting crankarm?

The issue here is my wheels are now set up tubeless so no change until the rubber gets worn! :)

WTBs... as Jeremy can certainly remember well, there was a user who got WTBs as the stock tyres on his boutique e-bike and immediately started thinking of replacing those tyres with Schwalbe Johnny Watts :) The reason was the man had never heard of Wild Trail Bicycles :) I tried to save the guy...

Ras, as my brother explained to me, the tyre profile can be very different depending on the exact tyre model, inflation pressure (and the rim inner width, irrelevant here). He installed a 45 mm Schwalbe G-One 365 on his gravel bike, measured the width, and it was 42 mm. The only thing I can...

P.S. Bobby Finn is the most consistent :) His: "Noooo!", "Why would you think","You don't see how", and "That's why" went viral :)

There are many short vids about it on the internet :) I sometimes watch YT programmes from linguists (RobWords, LetThemTalkTV) and these guys have explained in detail why the English spelling is so weird! Interestingly, they say the American English is more archaic in some aspects than the...

Well, we heard something about the country called the United States :)

Will you deny riding on the throttle is actually riding an electric motorbike? Where is the "cycling" in this? The pedals that serve as footrests?

Some people who have three medical conditions ride without throttle. I wonder how you would ride in Europe, where throttle is not allowed.
