    I could smell my Vado motor about to fail

    Next time get a Bosch powered bike. We have four Gen 2 CX motor bikes with a total of almost 100,000 kms on them. No problems ....plus they all have de-limiters installed. Bulletproof.

    How's the bike infrastructure where you ride?

    PROBLEM : "Suburban sprawl that was first and foremost designed to keep cars moving rather than people safe. Parkinson's law states that "The demand upon a resource tends to expand to match the supply of the resource". SOLUTION : Stop building stuff for cars.

    How's the bike infrastructure where you ride?

    What is a 10 on the scale? In my fantasy world a 10 would be where all the cars and trucks would have speed limiters that only allow the maximum posted speed and were forced to traverse the margins of the roads, while active mobility vehicles have the lions share... sigh... dream on.

    This is very frightening but I cannot look away. I really wished I could do that big jump ( Ithink I could be satisfied to try to keep my hands and feet on the bike whilst in the air ...haha!)

    Trek FX+ 2 or Verve+ 2?

    I would choose the one with the most power and greatest range. You can always decrease the assist level but you can never increase the Nm of the motor. The Bosch mid-drive is a better motor and the Verve is more like a normal bike to ride than the hub motor. If it were my choice I would save my...

    There is an Ocean full of water to the West. All they have to do is figure out how to make it useable. I mean if they can go to Mars surely they can accomplish this?
