There's at least one shop out there that talks about how to work on these and have interesting teardown videos, e.g. You'll probably be fine under warranty, but maybe those videos will give you ideas about what's going on before then.

Given the bike you own and that you want "good exercise" and "handle like an analog bike", I wouldn't recommend any of those. Look for some kind of mid-drive. Given what you like and what you're looking for, I think a Vado SL is also a good recommendation. It will feel like a bike down to 0%...

There are standard spacers to move the calipers out. If I remember, the Aventure.2 already uses one. You'd replace it with the one that reaches 203

I had to panic brake in the rain once and the horrible brake squeal did the job. Maybe add a system for spritzing water on your disc brakes.

I just mention it because a common complaint of ebike riders is "ghost pedaling," where you are going so fast that there are no more gears that give you any pedal resistance. It's easier to hit those speeds on an ebike. By my math, the 36t + 11-36t + 29" wheels will hit 25mph at a 90 RPM...

A bike meant for road use/commuting (like the Vado) would have a 48t in the front.

Hill performance is going to depend mostly on total weight: You plus the bike. Your daughter's experience is only a guide if you are about her size (and the bike is geared about the same). You will need to be able to put in some power to get full power out of the bike because it's a multiplier...

That's an option. In the new app, go to record (you don't need a bike connected). Hit the gear that's in the map area. Turn on "keep screen on". The app forgot all my settings recently (probably on a version upgrade) so the same might have happened to you.

Good choice, but be aware almost all of those will require pedaling to go up the hill. Hub drives are more likely to have a throttle so you could go uphill without any pedaling (assuming the bike has the power).

I highly recommend them. Before I bought mine, I watched reviews and "imagined" what it would be like given the devices capabilities. The ideas you have about weaknesses (like two lane roads, or range, or false alarms) are really not a problem at all in actual use. Having a mental picture of...

Didn't work for me. With no spacers (so set up for the largest tube diameter) it doesn't fit where my current mount is: The base of the dropper post just above the top of the seat tube. With spacers, it could probably go on the moving part of the dropper post, but at that point I might as well...

> Tero3? (Tero, 4, 5, 6 all look like are much heavier) The hardtail 3 and the higher SKUs 4, 5 are all similar in weight except for minor accessories. The full suspension Tero X 4, 5, and 6 SKUs are heavier. If you are really going over mountainous terrain and want something light you should...

My post was specifically about my Aventure.2 but it spawned some general discussion of fat tire bikes: https://forums.electricbikereview.com/threads/reasons-not-to-buy-an-aventure-2.52810/

I was paranoid about that at first, but I've been over some rough terrain and never had an issue. Having to hold the base to twist it on/off isn't great, though. I'm going to try your suggested mount. (I also reassure myself that my bike would beep if the radar fell off and went out of range, so...

You can see it in profile in this pic from my thread: https://forums.electricbikereview.com/threads/i-bought-a-turbo-tero-x-6-0-ama.52857/post-606315 It has been working fine for me mounted like that for a year. It might work "better" if it were higher? But I haven't tried. You can see in the...

Looks so naked! What size frame is that? My XL has enough room on the frame part of the seatpost to mount a Varia. If I tried putting it on the dropper post like that I'd probably eject it 5 times per ride.

The smallest. Consider it from the bike's point of view: You press walk assist. It's got to turn the mid-drive motor fast enough to move the bike at 3mph. However, it doesn't know what gear its in, so it doesn't know what speed it needs. If it turned fast enough to make the bike go 3mph in 1st...

Walk assist is one area where hub drive bikes are superior. You just engage walk assist and the bike can drive the rear wheel at the exact assist speed. On mid-drive bikes, there has to be a feedback loop between how fast the motor turns and how fast the rear wheel turns. The speed sensors on...

FYI, new spec app now does heartrate! It gets recorded and it uploads to Strava. It also replaces the straight kJ ~= Calories estimate with a HR based one which produces quite different numbers.

+1 for the peak design phone mount. It's fantastic. After using it on my bike (and committing to the associated case) I got their other products (like the wireless charging stand and the car mount) and I like them all.
