In what respect is the Bosch motor underpowered? Was it the CX motor? There is not a hill I can”t climb with the Bosch CX motor. I’ve rode a few Bafang mid-drivers and they do have power but the transfer of power seemed crude. I weigh 200 pounds and the bike is 60 pounds, if you are pushing...

I have the Nevo GX Rohloff, I ride between 50 and 65 miles per day with panniers loaded to around 30 pounds and I weight 190 pounds. The bike came with Rock Razor tires that I had changed to Super Moto x. The front tire is set to 45 psi and the rear to 55 psi.

Hope to see you at the event. Has anyone else signed up?

We have four R&M Nevo bikes from the small 26’ wheel and a GH and GX model and never experienced any frame rigidity issues. We ride on all road surfaces and the bikes are rock solid.

I am sure it will fit.

A carrier plate is not needed if you have the MIK rack on your Nevo. At the end of the video the adapted panniers are mounted directly to a MIK rack. Check to see if you Nevo rack has MIK engraved. If it is not MIK then it would have engraved Racktime.

Remove the controller and clean both the contacts on the controller and the base with contact cleaner. Then rub a small amount of dielectric grease on both. Once both set of contacts are clean the adding of dielectric grease (sometimes called lightbulb grease) will add a little “tension” to...

A few weeks ago on our way to the Pine Creek trail in northeast Pennsylvania we were stopped for by a state trooper for having an obscured car license plate. We had our two ebikes on a Thule hitch rack. After this incident I called the PA department of transportation in search of a resolve...

I worked as a travel photographer for 30 years and dealt with the same issues. You always have to beware of your environment and keep your gear secured.

Here in Western Pennsylvania I’ve had no issues on any urban (Pittsburgh) or regional rail trails. At the start of the GAP trail, from Pittsburgh to D.C. the city of Pittsburgh has a 15mph speed limit for all bicycles. From my experience the riders who exceed 15mph are the road bikers. Instead...

Topeak seems to have a sliding track system and I don’t know their attachment hole pattern. The MIK/Racktime hole pattern is 10cmx19cm. Vaude makes a nice trunk bag with a Racktime mount that could easily be converted to MIK or you can buy a Velcro attached bag and install the MIK adapter.

Absolutely, the adapter is quite nice and has a clever lock system.

For my Nevo with a MIK rack I converted a Racktime basket and an old Ortlieb Trunk bag to the MIK system. The hole pattern is identical to Racktime. You can buy the bag adapter from Propel. Basil does make nice trunk bags with the MIK adapter.

From the photo the rack is neither Racktime or MIK. Look at the Ortlieb Trunk bag, it wraps around the rails and should fit.

Is you rack a Racktime or MIK system. If it is Racktime they have two standard widths racks. The adapter on the bottom of the bag can be adjusted to either width.

I carry the large bear spray.

Two great single trailers for touring are the Tout Terrain Mule from Germany and the Farfarer by Frances Cycle in Santa Cruz. The Farfarer only weights 9 pounds. http://www.francescycles.com/farfarer-trailers

It’s a much bigger socioeconomic issue.
