I didn't try this one. I reached top speed fairly quickly, but mostly with harder gears. Yes, pretty fast in 4-5-6-7 gears for example. But most of my rides were at about 22kph. It was too exhausting to go faster. It's not so much about the speed, but about the effort applied, which seems to...

Like a dozen of commuter/step-through/45-60Nm/under 3000$ : Moustache Samedi, Specialized (Como & Vado) (Brose), Giant & Liv (Yamaha), Winora Tria (Bosch), two Kalkhoff and others. Oh ? I didn't know about this difference. I think I prefer to pedal a little bit faster than a little bit harder.

I guess it's for accelerations, some hard hills and things like that. To be clear, I tested a few bikes and felt differences, but I didn't think it was the control algorithm that made the difference. For example, I tested a Giant and didn't feel at all that I was being "helped", only that I had...

Hello, I'm from Europe and I've tested some ebikes (250W - 25kph) but all of them seemed rather underpowered: I felt like I had to pedal a lot, even with a low gear and very high assistance. To put it plainly: I was going faster (and accelerating faster) than with a normal bike, but I was...

9spd ?

@Grueso @PedalUma Hi ! Thanks to both of you. I did some maths this week and I understand a lot better what the torque is (and what is not, and even how it works mechanically). I think that, for my weight (and the bike + child + bags + basket), 50Nm will be sufficient up to slopes of 10-12%...

Hello, I'd like to have a basket on the front of the bike, but the one I was shown seemed small and required the expensive purchase of a rack. Is the headlight still useful with a rack+basket ? Is a better saddle be a good buy ? I've tested the IGH version but the seller told me it was not...

Hi, I've found a reseller for this one ; thanks ! I will try it soon.

Hi ! :) I've tried to be helpful for the helpful people ! My area is pretty insecure and my knowledge about bikes is limited so it something between "less is better" and "not that much" with a possibility of "Oh, it's worth it !". It seems to be less choice here, in Europe and the speed is...

Hello, - Europe. - I don't usually cycle - I want to use a bicycle on a daily basis (to do without the car as much as possible) - I need a confortable bike (for my back and my weak knees), probably a upright position and a step-through design - I would like to go "everywhere" : roads, some...

This means that speed is not linked to torque, right? The torque is used to "cancel the tractive force" (or a part of) ? Thanks for the lesson ; it was really clear. I can compute more easily my needs. What happens when the road is theoretically flat and the hill = 0 ? I don't really know ; to...

Hello ! I've tried the search motors but I don't know why, I mostly find awful explanations/strange translations, copied/pasted content. I can't rent any bike near my location. Me + my luggage + a child = 100kg. I can't find any resources explaining what weight a torque can really carry...

Hello, I'm looking for a commuter bike in Europe ; my knees are hurting and I don't want to be tired going to work ! :) I've read a lot about ebikes (and still do) but I can't really understand what torque do I need, especially as more powerful motors are usually found on much more expensive...
