    How accurate is the Range in the Mahle app

    In 2021 I’ve kept track of percentage of battery usage per mile on 11 rides covering over 260 miles on flat roads with an average speed between 14 and 18 miles per hour. The cumulative average was 1.23% of battery power per mile. The best single ride was .83% and the worst was 1.67%. Your 19...

    Ebikes….Cheating?

    If the kayaker was going down river that would be cheating vs. going up river!

    X35 to x35Plus upgrade

    As I’m not tech savvy what are the advantages with the ANT+ connectivity (with Garmin) vs. the smart phone Ebikemotion app with EBM maps loaded?

    Please Suggest Most Comfortable Saddle

    “What is the most comfortable bicycle seat” is a LIE. There is no comfortable bicycle seat made. There are LESS uncomfortable seats. What may work for one person can cause major pain for another. I’ve been riding for 38 years and have found a few LESS uncomfortable seats butt (pun intended)...

    Complete this sentence... "For me, ebiking means..."

    .... I’m no longer 73 with two knee replacements, I’m 45 racing my bike friends to the crest of a downhill as I’ve only been passed three times going downhill in 38 years of biking.

    Ebikemotion x35 speed limiter "fix"

    I think YouTube has a vid showing the steps in removing the battery through the bottom bracke.

    Specialized Turbo Creo 28mph Electric Road Bike

    At age 73 and 205 lbs I find my e-Bianchi able to subtract 20 years to my performance not 20 pounds. One must factor fitness and weight to our performance goals and always enjoy what we have left in our declining years. I’m currently rehabbing from my second knee replacement within two years...

    New bikes for old tail bones. Looking for suggestions.

    The first rule of biking is you don’t buy a “bike“, you buy the local bike store where to buy the bike. The second rule is that there is no such thing as a comfortable bike seat, just less uncomfortable ones. Good bike shops allow you to try out seats for a few days to find one that’s less...

    What's your plan for a flat tire 10 miles from home?

    3). I try to be self sufficient when biking. Always carried a spare tube, pump, tire irons and tool kit. Once I got two flats on the same ride but had only one tube. The second flat was only a half mile from home so no big deal. Now I carry two tubes. On more the one occasion I’ve used a...

    Ebikemotion x35 speed limiter "fix"

    1. There is no reliable fix for the 20mph max for the x35. An Australian firm has had mixed results that you can research on this website. 2. I don’t use a heart rate monitor but others report good results if compatible 3. I would say the Nyrto out performs the Dyodo and producing two race...

    Please Suggest Most Comfortable Saddle

    There is no such thing as a comfortable bike seat. There ARE less uncomfortable seats butt that depends on the size, weight and shape of your a$$. Yes; I said this in a funny way, what works for one rider will not work for another.

    EBikeMotion X35 range?

    I would be hard pressed to count on 100 miles in eco mode as I was working somewhat hard peddling to get 10miles out of 10% battery charge. The effort I was doing wouldn’t last for 100 miles. I did a more hilly route with all three levels aggressively for 20 miles and used 60% of the battery...

    Ebikemotion x35 speed limiter "fix"

    I recently purchased a Bianchi Aria E road bike and have been challenged in locating the feature within the ebikemotion app that controls the percentage level of assist. Could you please list the step by step method in changing the factory default settings. Thanks.

    EBikeMotion X35 range?

    I’ve had my US Bianchi Aria ebike for a few weeks and am testing the battery consumption on a regular flat route I usually ride in both very windy and calm days. I start my test when I immediately leave my driveway, no warm ups or anything like that. My route is 18.5 miles with about 16 miles...
