    Why

    Yes it is a good paved road. I didn't know the condition of the roads you have ridden so my comment was only on elevation profile. That's why I mentioned mtb in my previous comment. With the right tires his bike should be fine on gravel but anything more, like your case, a mtb will be much...

    Why

    This is part of a route I do regularly, 1-2 times a week. With pw-se, bosch cx and dd hub, on lower assist levels I do it around 30 minutes comfortably. If I push I can shave at least 5 minutes with any of those.

    Why

    That is a pretty good bike. Your question is otherwise is ambiguous. Better in what way? If you are going to do mtb well you need a different bike, if you want to sustain higher speeds you will need more power otherwise it is a good bike. You can do anything mentioned in post #3 with that bike.

    Hydra cassette drive train .

    While frustration is understandable and Pushkar should have told any possible changes beforehand, it is no excuse for foul language. In a brand sub-forum communication should be held as if it is being done in person.

    Ebikemotion vs Fazua which is better?

    You know what, in that case I would go for fazua. I don't see the point of a heavier bike with that speed limit and having the ability to take motor and battery off to ride it as is is a big plus.

    SHOW us YOUR PIX here .... Odd, WeiRd ,UnUSuAl or EyE CaTchIng things from your rides

    Is it still working ? If so shouldn't be a big deal. You can put it in rice to get rid of the moisture. Or you can open it up and dry it out with a hair dryer. Once fixed cover it with some transparent water proof cover to prevent it from happening again.

    Ebikemotion vs Fazua which is better?

    I like Fazua, the removable battery and motor is a very neat idea. My only concern would be the 20mph limit. On a road bike that doesn't work for me, I can pedal a regular bike faster myself. If they release a delimited version it would be a good option.

    My DIY builds: GMAC, BBSHD, 9C RH212, CYC Photon, ToSeven DM01, Grin All Axle

    I think your problem is low sampling rate and/or high latency. What model sensor are you using do you have the spec sheet?

    Cafe Vintage Electric - First EBike?

    Can you give an idea on the grade of the hills and your weight ? I have checked @Court 's review, It actually looks like a powerful well built bike. The bike you mention comes with a 750W TDCM motor which is a powerful and high quality hub with a torque sensor setup. DD's may not be the best...

    Which bike to choose?

    Both are lower end bikes which are way overpriced. Low end components, no suspension, lower tier motors in the $3k+ range is horrible in terms of value. For that price range look for powerfly 4, it is a way better bike with better components, stronger motor, much more versatile and clearance...

    Motor efficiency Standard Bafang G510 Benchmark Bosch CX + 15% Bafang Archon X1 + 30%

    Weight and speed makes a big difference. Also at higher cadences pw gives less support. I have pw-se, if I stay below 20mph, I get at least %20 more range than my bosch cx on the same route.

    Schwalbe Johnny Watts (and other Schwalbe SUV tyres) User Club

    I have a similar experience. Fast rolling very good all around/touring tires. Riding my full suspension bosch mid on smooth flat roads, Without any assistance I can keep around 22mph (odometer real speed is likely to be around 20-21) and exceed 24mph when I push. This is at least as good as my...

    Trek Allant+ 7S: Slight Vibration Emitting from Bosch Performance Speed motor

    At which cadences are you getting this vibration? The motor torque depends on motor output and cadence not the speed of the bike, so you may want to replicate a similar case at different cogs/speeds to make sure that it is the motor not the bike itself. Find a flat and safe road, use a gear to...

    This has probably been asked before.

    This. Keep the position of the vale on the upper half of the wheel. Also make sure that the tip of the tube is tight while pumping or fresh slime can dry and clog silicon tube. If it doesn't flow easily, don't force it (that will just overflow) take it out and squeeze the dried part out. For my...

    My Custom Upgrades to Stromer ST2 and ST5 (Silent brakes,Tubeless, dropper suspension post, shimano brake caliper, 11-51 cassette)

    I was wondering if the same 11-51 Deore cassette or something like sunrace mx80 11-50 would fit St5? On paper 11-46T is the max possible. Was 11-46 from 11-42 worth it in your case?

    Schwalbe Johnny Watts (and other Schwalbe SUV tyres) User Club

    Managed to put them on (I had to step on one side of the tire). This is the first time I had to do that. The tires made a big difference. The rolling resistance is good, actually very good. They are also much quieter. I am very impressed so far. I can not comment on cornering. Btw., Since...

    Schwalbe Johnny Watts (and other Schwalbe SUV tyres) User Club

    Received my JW 2.8. This tire is very tight, I have never had a problem installing tires including nobby nics, but this has been a nightmare. Trying to fit this on 40mm alex rims and I have already had two small scratches on the rim and my hands are sore.

    The paint jobs look amazing.

    Power on ST3

    Offset seems fine(it is close to no load reading), you can still try to recalibrate first. Is 1.212 the maximum you see when you put all your weight on one pedal?
