Mine started doing pretty much exactly what you're describing, with both a delay in the shift and also a skip every once in a while shortly after the shift. I think the skip was being caused by the derailleur being slightly out of adjustment and the chain almost inbetween gears. I adjusted the...

In some countries the 2020 Giant FastRoad E+ EX Pro and 2020 Giant Revolt E+ Pro are 45kph/28mph, ie Class 3. Best to ask a dealer in your country.

Nice looking tires, they look a lot wider than the Schwalbe Marathon Plus 700x47 I put on a couple weeks ago.

Hi flipper, because you already have experience with ebikes and have specific expectations, the most important thing might be to ride the bike before you buy it. if you're on a budget and want to easily keep it under $2000, you might want to try checking out the Aventon Pace, which is a little...

Prototype from 2016, looks like it was designed to be used as a pacer for velodrome races.

Specifically targeted for Japanese market, has a 25v motor and a 2.4ah battery. Don't need as much power when max speed of 24kph.

Hey Browneye, a BadAssBox works on the same concept as the Planet3. I got frustrated at running into that 20mph wall (that noticeable dropoff starting at around 18mph) and bought a BadAssBox off of EBay from an Australian seller who shipped to US. Used it for a few months, but removed it when...

Hi Browneye, I've had the bike for over a year now, and I feel like it's probably the best money I have ever spent. I am commuting to work with it, a little less than 5 miles each way, pretty flat. The goal riding in is to not work up a sweat so I usually ride in PAS 2 or 3 at around 15mph...

Well that's what I get for saying how well the Crosscuts have been holding up... got my first flat today, darn thorn. I heard a clicking noise and could see the thorn stuck in my front tire. When I pulled it out I heard that dreadful whoosh sound of air coming out. Because I was already half...

Hi t_h_k, my Explore E+3 also has the Giant Crosscut Gravel 2's. I thought they would wear out real quick because I'm on the road most of the time, but they are holding up much better than expected. I got some Schwalbe Marathon Plus at a great price several months ago, but just haven't gotten...

Just to give you an idea, here's a sf bay area company that sells converted Rolls with Bafang mid-drives. (Link Removed - No Longer Exists)

@Koriemo, you said you have had three ebikes, what kind were they and what kind of motors/batteries? A lot of what is comfortable is specific to each rider. I have a Giant Explore, which is a city/hybrid style bike with a mid-drive motor and I love turning off the motor and ride around without...

All of them are good bikes and you can't go wrong, best thing to do is to ride them and select the bike that you are most comfortable with. One thing to consider (without overthinking it). The 2019 Verve's motor is 40nm with max 250% assist and max cadence 100 rpm, while Giant 2019 is 80nm...

Hi Jun, You said you will be using throttle all of the time, I guess you mean throttle only without pedalling? When you are using the throttle only, the motor is operating independently of the gears and pedals and the motor is doing all of the work. The range will be the same whether you are...

It's about 1/4 turn to activate PAS, but one full turn to activate throttle only. You could pretty comfortably go "pedal only" with this bike for 5 miles anywhere you are able to ride a single speed cruiser for the same distance. You might have to work a little harder than you would on a...

Timpo agree with you that mamachari's don't really fit the U.S. market right now. I rode a couple of new Yamaha's earlier this year in Japan, and thought the bikes were great to ride and the PAS very refined. But I think if Yamaha/Panasonic/Bridgestone were to bring these bikes over to the US...

BESV headquarters is in Taiwan. As far as what electronics? Ebikes... http://www.besv.com/

HI Ken, thank you for pointing out the ambiguity, I meant "unassisted" as in motor power only, ie throttle only without any pedaling. Can point me to the regulation you are referring to that a non-motorized bicycle and low powered electric bicycle are considered the same and should be regulated...

Basically, the US Federal government has classified an electrical bicycle as less than 750 watts and max 20 mph unassisted, with states not being able to apply more stringent rules (for example only allowing max 500 watts or 15 mph unassisted). So as an example of additional requirements...

When I first bought my ebike, one of my coworkers kind of laughed about it, and didn't really understand why i would need it. After seeing me commute to work almost every day this spring and summer, he kind of changed his mind, and I think I completely changed his mind when about a month ago he...
