Here is a picture of mine. I have a few comments in this thread.

I went with the Enviolo. I have used the NuVinci hubs on several bikes in the ep[ast and I am pretty comfortable with it.

My Priority Current arrived yesterday. It was easy to put together. The first thing I disliked was that the instructional video does not give actual torque values. Instead, it relies on much more subjective measures while assembling. I went to the Park Tool website and used those numbers. There...

I use my eBoke for commuting too. However, as you touched on, rain is my limit. I will even consider snow. However, rain and I am in my FJ Cruiser. Oh, and the FJ gets used once per week to take my daughter on our weekly shopping trip.

I am fine with snow. About the middle of November, I put on my studded tyres. Basically, if I see that I will be riding in below freezing weather, I put them on during the weekend. Yes, I really do look at the 10-day forecast. That said, if rain is predicted, I will probably drive. I hate...

On the way to the summit in my top picture, I had to stop once and go for a hike while the solar panels replenished the batteries. It was only about thirty miles of climbing, but it was all uphill. I have no idea how far I would be able to go on batteries alone. I had a spot of trouble in...

I never saw the point with Strava. I am just not that interested in having other people see my rides. Most of my riding is commuting and errands anyways. I do like Ride-with-GPS. It helps me keep a personal record. I think I created a Strave account, but it would have been years ago, who knows...

I came across a great definition of adventure. Adventure is hardship recalled at leisure.

My average was also about 80-90 miles a day.

When I rode my "Never Plug-In" trip from Kansas to Utah I crossed the Contentinal divide at two posted places. It was a long trip. Yes, I am aware that the "slow-moving vehicle" triangle was not legal according to the letter of the law. However, it was applicable and I was never hassled about...

This new smart system, on the horizon, is the reason that I held off on getting a Gazelle this year. I mentioned the Osborne Effect in another sub-forum and some people got all upset, so I am not going to say Osborne Effect. I will just think it. That said, or not said, the two things that...

On my Kansas to Utah, "Never Plug-In," ride I used a bafang and a NuVinci N380. I had no problems, but I kept the power draw low. I was facing the limits of my Solar panels to replenish the batteries.

Print magazines used to have this problem too. American Rifleman had a short op-ed about it many years ago. The gist of it was to say that there is only so much author time and magazine space. From the point of an author, why would they want to spend time with something that was conspicuously...

I might be impressed enough by it to jump. First I want to see how it shakes out after a couple of years of use. As far as need, there is very little we actually need. A blanket and a bowl, that about covers it. However, there is a lot that people want. I want to wait and see on this new...

I had a Belt drive on my previous eBike. I had put a front geared motor on the front of that one. It is now on Long term loan to my sister. She needed something for getting back and forth from work. So, Yes, I have used, and am familiar with belt drive.

Truckrun, but Priority won't say it. Before you say some form of, "we are talking about bosch, not truck run," the point is that I purchased a less expensive placeholder instead of a more expensive Bosch equipped bike. I hope that when I purchase a more expensive Bosch equipped bike, that I...

As an example of the Osborne Effect, this is why I decided to go with the Priority Current instead of the Gazelle C380+. I can ride the Current and wait for Gazelle to incorporate the new system. If there were an upgrade path I would have spent the extra for the Gazelle. However, right now...

On my TSDZ02 (I think I got the section of alphabet soup right) I have experimented when riding into strong winds. There is a point that I can go faster by moving my NuVinci N380 into a lower gear. This would indicate that the dears are needed by the E side of the ebike equation. Another...

I ended up changing both the chainring and the rear cog on my NuVinci N380 equipped bike using a TSDZ02 Motor. Before I changed them the gearing was just wrong and the bike topped out around 15mph. Now, with no wind, and given long enough to get there, it tops out about 22-24mph.

I think Priority got it right. Ship it as a Class 1 while including instructions for the user to change it to Class 3. That moves the onus to the user.
