    'Zen Skunkworks' - a new model in the development

    Very promising and is what my wife needs when it comes with belt and Enviolo :) Will need to confirm frame size make sure it is not too large. I do like the look of your other FS step thru project better but time frame will play a role....

    I would replace the gasket regardless.

    'Zen Skunkworks' - a new model in the development

    Agreed, I just thought I mentioned it as I think it is the future of easy to use e-Bikes. Good point on the throttle, it will remain a lacking feature on Valeo and Pinion, unless we can hack it... That sounds great. If you can do a belt drive with tensioner, any reason you would not offer...

    'Zen Skunkworks' - a new model in the development

    Great to hear, cant wait... MOTOR: The reason for the full suspension is the ability to go on fire trails, which means some steep climbing at times, so I do like to have a fairly powerful motor so we can maintain fast enough stabilization speed going up. Not sure which motor exactly is on the...

    Bikes that are not bikes

    1000W motor 30+mph means it is not classified as any legal version of a bicycle. And it certainly cannot pass for one given its look :) It would have to be registered as a moped to be legal on the street. And moped can legally have pedals. That does not mean some people won't use it on the...

    Riese And Muller Nevo 2020 ( Electrical questions )

    Sounds good. I can't be sure how bosh calculates the remaining distance, but without reprogramming the battery characteristics, it will most likely be wrong, as it will extrapolate the voltage it reads based on the assumption of the single original one. That said even if the Bosch computer...

    Help finding a mid-drive, torque ebike with a throttle and natural pedal assist?

    As was said, throttle is usually found on smaller shops, usually combined with a Bafang motor for the torque based pedal assist. Several of these have good reputation, and some are present on this forum, like Bitrix, zen or wattwagons. If opened to the idea there is one chinese manufacturer that...

    Step-Thru

    Assuming the frame size allows for it to be usable of course... But if so, absolutely, the dropper post is the best bike invention ever :)

    Pinion Motor.Gearbox.Unit (MGU)

    On an electric bike, the motorization only needs gears if the motor power is limited. When you have enough power, you can drive the back wheel with a single gear ratio at any speed and on all terrain. BUT if you are going to pedal the bike then you need gears to maintain a comfortable pedaling...

    Turbo Vado 5.0: IGH or chain?

    I think it would be worth contacting Enviolo and ask them if Specialized does override the Enviolo app, and if so, if anything can be done about it. In my experience they have been good answer technical questions. I would actually also contact Specialized and see what they have to say about it

    Enviolo vs Rohloff E14

    Solution quoted in previous threads: "I did call Enviolo. They told me I could use the AUX port (on Gen 4 engines) to provide the power. They even told me (as my Aux port is used by the bike tracking chip) I could splice it there. " That appears to be the cleanest way to do it.

    Is Anyone Else Having Second Thoughts About CF Post Titan?

    The biggest issue with the Titan, is that there is apparently no experience on using CF for this kind of application and depth, it has not been tested and certified so far. In addition, I heard they used some off the shelf component like the spherical dome window that was only certified for 1000...

    Is Anyone Else Having Second Thoughts About CF Post Titan?

    Not really any parallel to be drawn here. It is like driving a car over an aluminum soda can, crushing it, and then wondering if we should use aluminum in the construction of bike frames... :)
