Not a road bike chain ring which would naturally have more teeth to attain higher speed, sacrificing climbing ability.

Correct me if I am wrong but isn't the Trek Domane + LT, with the Fazua motor, a purpose designed road bike, not a gravel bike? With the motor and battery removable, leaving a 26 lb. bike, it gives the rider the freedom to choose between ebike or road bike for each ride. It has front and rear...

For a quiet higher powered mid drive, the Dapu motor used by Evelo puts out up to 115 Newton meters of torque and is remarkably quiet except when climbing very steep hills. Cruising on flat ground, all I can hear is tire noise and the server motor on the Auto shift system.

Actually, to be perfectly precise, the official stated weight of the Specialized Range Extender is 1067 grams which is 2.35 lbs. In the USA they are priced at $450, quite high for only 120 Watt Hours (a 500 watt hour Bosch Power Tube can be purchased for $650). In point of fact "less than...

The Turbo Creo is a great bike. It is also a designed gravel bike. Specialized offers a lighter weight version with a more road oriented group set, larger front chainring and skinnier tires, same frame with same head tube angle. In all cases Turbo Creo is only available in a 1x configuration...

If, after reading the use case of the person seeking advice, it points toward a bike we know, really enjoy and have had sustained positive experience with, suggesting that bike only makes sense. I have owned several bikes made by one of the top ebike makers but my experience with them is such...

The Cannondale Topstone Neo 2 is a carbon fiber frame gravel bike with a Shimano GRX group set with a 2x13 22 speed drive train. It has the Bosch speed motor that assists up to 28 mph and a 500 watt hour battery. II have the Neo 3 version with a lefty front fork and a 1x11 drive train. At...

Nor should they (or you) The topic is Thudbuster vs Kinekt.

Burley Coho XL trailer on my 2018 Riese & Muller Delite

Wow!! excellent report and even better observations. Thanks for sharing what you learned over the 1 year + of riding and carefully studying and learning how to get the most out of your Kinekt Seat Post. I have them on all my hard tail ebikes over the past four years and learned to adjust the...

The Dapu company is in Japan. I can't confirm if their mid drive motors are actually manufactured in Japan or somewhere else. Their site refers to plants in Japan, China and Vietnam but does not specify which motors are built in which location. Dapu makes quite a variety of rear hub motors...

By the way, there is no problem with using a Kuat or any other rack that uses tire hooks on a bike with solid alloy or stainless fenders. I would not hesitate to use one on my Allant 9.9S which has robust alloy fenders with 10mm rod stays. The SKS polycarbonate fenders used on most German...

It looks there may be two examples of confirmation bias in the thread, mine and someone elses ;) Just because one can't imagine something happening does not mean that it won't. The challenge to the structural integrity of a fender on a rack grows exponentially as the car speed increases, as...

The specified charger that comes with the 9.9S is the 4 amp charger. Yes the 2 amp will work just fine, it will just take twice as long to complete a charge. Your dealer gave you the wrong charger with your bike. Bosch calls this a "travel" charger as it is smaller and lighter. The travel...

I clamp our Allant 9.9s on the seat tube so there is no problem with low step or diamond frames. On the Verve you can clamp on the seat tube or the low horizontal piece that connects to the down tube and the seat tube. In order to clamp on to the Allant, it is best not to use the bottle cage...

I had a buddy's Turbo Creo on my Easyfold along with my Allant 9.9 with no contact issues. I guess there are combinations that work and others that don't...a good thing to verify before purchase.

The Knog PWR Mountain puts out a massive 2,000 lumens and has a 10,000 MAh battery that also can be used to recharge phones and other devices using USB. It is programable to choose between many different light intentensity and flash for four different preset light modes. The Knog PWR Trail...

Why risk damage to plastic fenders or worry about who is right regarding potential damage of tire hooks on a fender? The Thule Easyfold has clamp arms designed to clamp onto the frame, very securely. The locking mechanism disables the clamp handle rather than using thin, easily defeated...

Allant 9.9s, lean into it and GO! - good all around bike, very refined drive train, great round town or day cruiser. Totally satisfying ride in every way Cannondale Tosptone Neo 3, fast cruiser, at home on road or trail, Long legged bike, gets the most out of the Bosch system of any bike...

I am not advocating treating people badly but rather as gently as possible, let them know that it would be a good idea to read the manual. Point out that there is a search function at the top of every page where you can seek out answers to your question that have already been provided in great...
