Easy to explain! Your E/10% setting limited the motor power to 24 W. A mid-drive motor cannot "breathe" or work properly at such low a power, it is just suffocating :) The reasonable value for the second number should not be lower than 30% (35% is even better).

You mean, the shock and the rear damper? Quite interesting Assistance settings. ECO will give you the same motor power as your own leg power with the limit of 140 W (long range setting). TRAIL is for a more demanding terrain with your legs amplified more than twice and the motor capped at 340 W...

Lime/Uber e-bikes are very practical in London! However, I didn't meet Boris on my London rides :) I wouldn't ride with anyone who doesn't wear a helmet :)

Jeremy, I used your own app to draw my conclusions :) You use MicroTune so E=M. I advocate using E/100, where E must be set reasonably not to drain the battery too quickly. For instance, I know I can produce leg peak power of some 200 W. If I want to squeeze everything from the motor, I should...

I expressed my thoughts 3 years ago, and there is very little I could add to it :) I have been an e-biker for almost 6 year now. https://forums.electricbikereview.com/threads/thoughts-of-an-experienced-e-biker.50732/

I meant E/M = 30/100. Pm =133 W * 0.3 * 1.8 = 71.8 W but Pr = 240 / 0.3 / 1.8 = 444 W So, with the 30/100 SL assistance, the rider has to input as much as 444 W leg power to max the motor out. This is what I was saying: 30/100 or similar E/100 modes reward hard pedalling. I recommend E/100...

...but if you pedal harder than 133 W then M=100 means you get more motor power up to 240 W?

What a stage! I feel so sorry for Pogacar crash. As one can see, chain drop can happen to the best of bikes. (Besides, it's turned out the monthly cost to watch Eurosport is close to ten bucks here).

Guys, I made a short 8.4 km (5 mile) test of my SL at 60/100%. The battery consumption was 6.70 Wh/km (rather high). My Main + RE1 set is now degraded to 433 Wh, of which 390 Wh I perceive to be the usable charge. Meaning, the range would be at best 58 km. I'm going on a 61 km gravel ride on...

Chris, I'd love to read your report after some rides in difficult terrain! (Creaks can come from the strangest places on a bike...)

Copenhagen is impressive, too. I cycled there during the pandemic. Copenhagen is notable for a big number of cargo e-bikes, many of them made in Freetown Christiania. Danes hardly ride e-bikes in Copenhagen: Short commute distances and a single climb (achievable even for me on the pedal...

That's why they call it "beauty parlour".... Boris Johnson and Stefan Mikeš :)

Let me comment the two posts above. The E/100 setting is appropriate for riders with relatively weak legs, especially when climbs are present en route. Such a setting is a real Carrot Effect as the rider is rewarded for the increased effort. (A rider with strong legs can benefit from 20/100 or...

I wonder why Amsterdam and Copenhagen were not top rated. https://www.visitcopenhagen.com/copenhagen/activities/what-makes-copenhagen-worlds-most-bicycle-friendly-capital

Yes, 45 km/h in the United States.

Please keep us up to date! Very interested! I think you can reuse your cable and the lever.

The only proper/good cable operated dropper seat-post I have ever enjoyed was One Up v2. No experience with any new version. Here are some remarks from my brother who overtook my Trance E+: The dropper has been very reliable for 4 years My brother was riding the e-bike all year long. The...

Yes, it is definitely a good thing, especially as you cannot "crash" the top tube mounted computer in any way :) Specialized has been really good with its displays starting with the wired TCD-w in 2019 and then going through the wireless TCD (for Gen 1 SL e-bikes) etc. It was always five...

Just a word of warning. Creo 1 had 12x148 mm Boost rear hub spacing, making it slightly non-standard as the standard size is 12x142 mm. Higher models of Creo 1 came with Roval Rapide C 38 carbon wheels. The rear hub size is 12x142 mm. I know Specialized can provide a set of spacers to match the...

His TCU has no display. He uses Sigma ROX 4.0 computers for LEV ANT+ display. P.S. I wonder whether the ROX can do Main/Range Extender LEV Batt % data field.
