Yes most of the ships instead of waiting have already started re-routing and taking the (very) long way around the tip of Africa.

The EVERGREEN is carrying mostly wood pulp for toilet paper manufacturing and the importer is Del Haize group according to an agent I spoke with today from Tsakos shipping. So no worries about e-bike components being delayed as most ships have been re-routed to sail around Cape Hope which only...

I disagree with the that. Light e-mtbs should be below 40 pounds like the Specialized Levo SL and Trek e-caliber.

But not a light weight e-bike.

More and more light e-mtbs seem to be using the excellent Fazua motor/battery if anything. Shimano ep8 motor is great though. How can a super light e-bike have a heavy big battery and motor? If it does it isn’t a lightweight at all. A big battery weighs about 11-12 pounds. That’s about a third...

Prices have risen across the board on everything, not just bikes and e-bikes. Almost every bicycle and e-bike brand has increased their prices.

The only negative about the e-caliber they mentioned was lack of dropper post. It can easily be added so no big deal. I don’t think any rotwild ebike can compete with the likes of the e-caliber or trek rail.

I saw a video of a coyote in NYC Central Park. Someone posted it on Reddit about 2 months ago. Need to be careful out there because the lockdowns worldwide with less people out and about wild animals have gotten more bold and venture into cities.

I suspected it was rotwild/Porsche collaboration when they announced the e-bikes since the frames did look very similar to me. My hunch was correct too last month. https://electricbikereview.com/forums/threads/porsche-unveils-two-e-bikes-with-ep8-motor.41256/#post-397738

And I’m sure the e-caliber would do fine on easy forest trails also. But with the added benefit of being excellent for quick technical riding where the party is.

I remember just over a year ago the Haibike Flyon was surrounded with so much hype and anticipation because of its 160NM motor. Supposedly it was going to be a monster that would climb elevation you mentioned to 2000 feet at 20% incline and tear through single track like an ibex and over power...

That’s true ebike laws are ridiculous and illogical. No argument there. But if the motor and battery aren’t installed and the only way the bike is moving is by pedaling with human power alone the ticketed rider would win in court.

The Fazua is designed for lighter e-bikes that’s why Trek uses it for lighter models like the e-caliber and emonda. The Fazua also can be removed and that matters a lot for people who want a bike that can be pedaled analog and who want to travel with their bike. It also increases the longevity...

200lb chain and 25lb padlock? Didn’t even know those exist. Unless you weigh 75lbs carrying that would have you exceed the weight limit for any e-bike.

Lol no worries barnboy I have a sense of humor.

🤦‍♂️

Forum feature suggestion: I think EBR should add a “dislike” 👎 feature to the repertoire of post reactions. I think this will be an easy and non-confrontational way for members to express disagreement with others on polarizing topics and it will help minimize and mitigate most of the flame wars...

Ah ok masovia, very relaxing atmosphere to go riding in. All those trees and the clean air. A buddy of mine told me there’s still remnants of a physical German u-boat base hidden in the forest that leads to a lake into the sea at the Masuria region.

Yea I don’t agree either that Fazua is weak. At 55NM torque with a 35lb ebike I would say that’s actually quite overpowered if anything. Add to the fact it’s fully removable for analog riding it’s better and more modern than anything atm. I think I would prefer the removable 55NM Fazua over my...
