Yeah, I didn’t see anything about this bike on the Cannondale US website.

One of the things that caught my attention was the 203 mm disk rotors.

In response to the OP's question, in terms of basic physics, power is simply torque times RPM (the correct units must be used when doing this calculation). In an internal combustion engine (ICE) in an automobile, the engine produces a certain amount of torque at a certain RPM. The graph of this...

REI now has both class 1 and class 3 Topstone Neo carbon bikes at their site. The class 1 bikes are discounted, the class 3 are not.

The redshift stem pivots, and works better with a longer lever arm, so it would work better on drop bar handlebars, rather than flat handlebars. Redshift acknowledges this at their website. I added Ergon GP3 bullhorns to the end of my flat bars, and when I move my hands to them, with the longer...

I like riding on smooth paved roads and bike paths, but will occasionally ride short distances on good Forest Service dirt roads. The 2019 Quick Neo Has Schwalbe 700X35 gravel tires, but no front or rear suspension. I added a Redshift suspension stem and a Cane Creek Thudbuster short travel seat...

I agree with you that they plugged in the most optimal conditions to get the estimate of 150 miles, and the actual range under other conditions would be substantially less. It would have made more sense for Cannondale to list a range of distances. They don’t seem so optimistic with ranges on...

I could not answer for the Kona, as I don’t know the power settings. I have a Quick Neo 2019 with the Active Line Plus motor, and I believe on ECO that the motor adds up to 40% of your power output. So if you are on the flat, no headwind, and keep your speed modest, the draw on the battery...

It is a Class 1 instead of a Class 3 ebike. Riding below 20 mph instead of below 28 mph takes a lot less power. If you stayed in an aerodynamic position, kept the setting in ECO mode, rode on the flat only with no headwind, and kept your speed well below 20 mph, 150 miles seems attainable. If...

You are correct about nobody knows. An equivalent statement probably initiated at various times in numerous places around the planet where people had to be outdoors in difficult weather. When you look at Ranulph Fiennes incredible record of human powered exploration/endurance in some of the most...

Famed polar explorer Ranulph Fiennes is credited with “There is no bad weather, only inappropriate clothing.”

Thanks.

How can the average and maximum heart rate both be 122 bpm? That would imply that your heart rate stayed exactly steady at 122 bpm for 50 minutes. Maybe your heart rate sensor was malfunctioning?

I went to the Huntington Beach REI to get some other items today and they had a Co-op City E2.2 on the floor. In person it looks to be a well built bicycle.

Welcome to EBR and your new Cannondale. You are going to love it. I have owned multiple Cannondale bikes since they started making aluminum bikes in the early 1980s. My last three new bikes were Cannondales purchased at REI, including my first ebike, a 2019 Quick Neo. The Tesoro Neo X1 looks to...

I grew up in Solon (near Chardon), and before moving to California for grad school, when I was an undergrad at Case (part of CWRU) in the early 1970s, a professor put together a Sunday bike ride in Amish country. I had long hair then for conservative Ohio, in that it was slightly over my ears...

I didn't see or hear anywhere in the video that it was claimed to be a 30 degree incline. Maybe I missed that. From some of the side shots, it looked more like 30% instead of 30 degrees. 30% is still plenty steep. I'm thinking if most of us put out an all out effort sprinting up a hill for 20 s...

Read “On the Clock” by Emily Guendelsberger, a journalist who took on jobs at an Amazon warehouse, a McDonalds and an AT&T call center. The AT&T support call center gets funded by what they up sell. When you read how de-humanizing it is for the people who work there, it is just sickening.

Yeah, not my thing, but still impressive price point.
