    Specialized Turbo Vado SL: An Incredible E-Bike (User Club)

    I can only see Average Power and Current Power, both from me, on my bike, so I use AP for the ride, Heart Rate, and Assist Level to gauge my fitness for similar rides in similar conditions.

    Still searching for the perfect ultra-light ebike kit for road bikes — here’s the idea in my head

    The only product I've invested in via crowdfunding was the original Cycliq Fly6. It had plenty of issues during the beta, with terrible support, but they eventually made most of the promised features work successfully. I rode with it until the internal battery died, then upgraded to the Fly6 CE...

    Big guy looking for good range ebike

    It's a great bike. Range is variable depending on many factors.

    Velotric Breeze 1 — a powerful lightweight cruiser

    It is very difficult to provide accurate fit information from a forum post. In-person fits are the way to go.

    '25 Orbea Wild M20 - display question

    Bosch makes a retrofit kit for the Kiox 300 and 500. They are available with mounts for either 31.8mm (road and some MTB) or 35mm (MTB) bars, which puts the display out front. You'll need to choose the right mount, and the right cable length for the conversion. I know of no retrofit kits for...

    How much to spend on a ebike?

    Definitely Velotric. We can't keep them in stock.

    RideWithGPS

    I'm not a long distance rider, but since I've moved here, I've planned every ride that goes off of the rail trail, mainly for safety reasons. I have to stay off of main roads as much as possible. That may mean riding through a residential neighborhood to avoid a half mile of state road. It has...

    Another new TQ motor: hpr40

    Interestingly enough, SRAM offers an e-bike wired interface to eliminate the small batteries, and Shimano now offers wireless Di2 functionality. The circle of bike life.

    RideWithGPS

    If your display supplying the power has a USB-A connector, and the Garmin 67 needs a USB-C connector, then you should be able to use any short, standard USB-A to USB-C charging cable to power the GPS from your display. USB-C will figure out that the supply is "only" 5V 1.5A and will charge...

    BOSCH GEN 2 - No Assist after Bearing change

    Does the display (which one?) see the drive unit and the battery? What mode is the display showing? Does it show any mode other than OFF?

    Another new TQ motor: hpr40

    If I were in charge of TQ marketing, I'd slash the price of the HPR50 and make it the entry level, low priced drive unit option. Rebate all existing stock, including what manufacturers have on hand in and out of bikes, to the new price. Keep the HPR40 and HPR60 as the latest models at full price.

    So ignore the sale prices. I posted MSRP for every example. Compare MSRP and my point stands.

    Legacy USB (A, Micro, Mini) is 5V nominal at 1.5A. USB-C can go up to 20V and 5A. I have an old Garmin Nuvi GPS on my desk that charges by mini-USB at 5V. My guess is that's what yours needs as well.

    Lugging a Motor, Why it's Bad

    I'm not a pro, but I don't count links. It all depends what I'm working on. For a wide range modern gearset, I hold the ends of the new chain together and pull them until the rear derailleur cage is tensioned properly, usually around 8 o'clock, then remove the closest outer link pin, leaving the...
