Fenders belong on guitars, especially the basses :D

@Ebikelife72: Congratulations! I am so happy to hear many people take the opportunity to get the excellent Vado SL (and especially the 5.0 EQ) because of Specializing "venting its warehouses"! That would be my preferred colour but I have never had a chance to be offered that specific 2020...

Throttle is not available on Bosch e-bikes, and will never be available on any German/Euro e-bike. Otherwise, Riese & Muller Homage is a premium SUV e-bike. People who think the throttle is a must seem to have never ridden a good e-bike :)

Grubooloza :) I was quite pleased to meet my old friend Joanna 'Makenzen' at the start line of yet another Fat Man XC group ride. Makenzen is a totally recumbent bike person. I was interested how she would fare on a ride involving a lot of off-road. You need to be aware early December in...

That's why Turbo e-bikes provide the extra boost if you set M > E :) I made my group ride on Vado SL at 50/100% today.

I've never been fond of their e-bikes. E-bikes should be left to bicycle companies. Motor companies do not understand cycling particularly well. Take Yamaha. The brand perfectly knows how to make the e-bike motor but does not understand the bicycle business.

I am not sure whether you are not insulting a respected forum member from Canada now. Ever heard of studded winter tyres? If the battery temperature is below 0 C. It makes a difference. How do you bring an irremovable e-bike battery in if you are not allowed to bring the e-bike in? A British...

The author does not know the market well enough. Where is Superior? Where is Lovelec?

Especially if the battery was manufactured seven years earlier, and that was a single cell that failed :D Your knowledge on the battery must be learnt from your Granny who told you not to eat immediately after coming home from the playground, isn't it :D So you do not ride during the frost and...

I have no definite answer, Steve.

A Cake Instead of Pork-Chop! The plan for Saturday was to ride for 74 km with a stop for a pork-chop in Żyrardów. However, I overslept the best morning hours so a shorter ride was the only option left. Leszno (Mazovia) as seen from 2.5 km in a straight line. The church is one of the landmarks...

I think anything below 50 F/10 C are "cold conditions" and the range is affected.

Batteries usually get degraded after a 5-year use. @il Munduato: Are you from any winter state of the U.S.? Or, you are just (as always) talking? Ever were on a longer ride during the frost and in blizzard? A blizzard ride. Check the temps.

It is only pertaining to the rides at very warm conditions. I could verify that on a day of 36 C (in the shadow) and with a lot of assistance on a full-power motor, the battery might easily warm up to 60 C. It would be unwise to charge a hot battery as charging also adds the heat. However, you...

I have no explanation but your post has given me an opportunity to tell a story. It is clear that the heaviest rider in the peloton climbs the slowest but the person is the fastest on the descents. There was a road cycling group with a BIG guy. Nobody wanted to ride behind him on the climbs! On...

Illegal in the UK. Full suspension for that price? A junk. Will it be serviced by a respectable Local Bike Store? Not? Don't buy. You probably do not want to perish in a battery fire, innit.

Welcome! Yamaha Forum

I just need to make a remark @2wheelsgood. Specialized defines these condition on its batteries: Storage: Below +35 C. No low temperature limit specified. Discharge: Anything above -20 C but below +70 C Charging: Anything above 0 C but below 50 C. The only really critical condition is to...

Joe but your Bosch E-Bike doesn't connect to the Wahoo?

Jeremy, most of smartphones have a Power Saver feature. If it is on for cycling apps, the results are unpredictable.
