    Bulls Lacuba Evo 10 Diamond vs Specialized Vado 5?

    No one makes a quieter hub than Onyx, period, totally silent. And there is no substitute for battery sizing, the more capacity, the better.

    "but I think it's 54lbs with the 9lb battery pack - 625W. She'll never run out of juice." jeez Browneye, you must ride like a pussy in granny mode not to run out a 625 watt battery ! 😄 yeah, I know, wife's bike!

    Detaining Bosch performance ebike

    Yes, only a larger front chain ring will improve top end speed, at the loss of hill climbing ability. SpeedBox only removes the restriction on assist. I run the max chainring on the Bosch CX of 22 teeth, while running a cassette of 11-50 to preserve climbing ability.

    Bosch ebike motor question

    Now know the default mileage reads 0 upon startup of a new Bosch motor. I have a brand new 0 miles bike! My resale just went up! And no more Bosch marble sounds when cranking forward. Zero noise peddling forward or reverse.

    Bosch ebike motor question

    Interesting, so my motor was replaced, installed by myself, lbs wanted $160 to r&r, should I ask the lbs to reset my k's to zero then?

    eMTB Options For 2024

    Your kidding right? Detracts? I probably been ridin longer than you know. And I have never had so much fun on a bike as my 60lb beast. Black diamonds, humph! Heated gear, lol, nothing of the sort, but then again, I am only riding in -30F or so.

    eMTB Options For 2024

    Nope, I have almost 1 kilowatt, and it's about what I need for each ride with a reserve incase I extend my ride or the conditions are steeper, more snow, etc. 60lb bike. I rather have extra battery juice so I don't have to peddle my 60lb bike when it runs dry, instead of peddling a sub 40lb...

    Bosch engagement delay

    The lbs wanted $160 to r&r the motor, wasn't too thrilled about this so I just removed the motor and exchanged it. Interesting though, there is now a fibre sealing washer, or the likes on the non-drive side, and a rubber seal on the drive side on the shaft. Ah Bosch, water ingress? Dust, mud...

    Cost Per Mile / Total Miles

    Awesome cost per mile. Obviously low initial purchase price helps greatly.

    Bosch engagement delay

    Lbs could not confirm what causes this problem. New motor waiting to be installed. Curious still on why the engagement delay. Lbs shops are early into the ebike thing. At times, I think they know less than the purchasers of the products.

    Cost Per Mile / Total Miles

    So this ebike thing, seems rather costly after I calculated my total cost, bike and add ons, improvements etc, divided by my total kilometers to date. Sitting right now at $3.23 per kilometer. Ouch! Now it has been fun, frustrating, and painful at times, but it is rather pricey for a...

    Bosch performance cx stiff motor

    This could be an issue, as peddling backwards should produce very little noise. The Bosch motor has a two year warranty I believe. So, ride it. My cx is being replaced, as there was a marble type sound peddling forwards, very little noise backwards. If possible, find a better shop more familiar...

    taco bell drive thru /not a bike under florida law/class action lawsuit?

    I was almost booted out of a tim horton's drive through on my ebike. She asked if my bike was motorized and was left alone after I said it had a motor. I stopped supporting them after this, not to mention the high price on a dozen pre-frozen donuts.

    Bosch 4th gen motor

    Tern is a good quality bike, the only cons I see are, weight, small range cassette, needs to be de-restricted. Overall though, a top notch unit.
