Hi Stefan, you're right about the "premium e-mtb's" The OP didn't say he was asking exclusively about e-mtb's..

I am sure your Bafang G06 is a fine bike but you must also take into account how that power is handled by the controller /battery/ motor combo. I think it is also important to compare bikes that compete in similar price range. I think Bosch systems tends to be be (on average) more premium...

I think your forgetting to mention the loss of torque/ power when it goes through the transmission... As discussed countless times on this very forum , different types of hub motor each have situations where they're more efficient ( trail vs gravel vs commute. Mainly flat vs hilly etc...)

Most, not all, premium bikes ! ;)

Hi, Please check your inbox. I'm buying.

Hey Johnny, I hope you are well and I second your opinion that hot wax is on another level. It leaves my chain dry to the touch ( no dirt , sand, grit accumulation which creates the paste that grinds and wears donw cassettes and chains) ,running quiet, clean ( no mess) is durable ( I reapply...

Good for you, you're the best. I guess i'll go and get rid of my bike so I can be a better man and follow your example.

Hi, Stromer recently posted this interesting infographic about battery, consumption and range. Although it was made by Stromer I believe most of it applies to any ebike https://www.stromerbike.com/sites/default/files/pdfs/210119stromerinfografikbattery-range.pdf check it out.

Hi Ravi. I am eagerly awaiting your results. I'm clearly not an engineer type ( I have a really hard time with math stuff) so it is my hope that there will be some layman explanations. Hopefully the data produced by your setup will shed some clarity/objectify/put some numbers on what is usually...

Hi Ravi, much of the technical results/ jargon will be way over my head and my question will possibly demonstrate how little I understand this stuff but would it be be relevant/ possible to add some rear hub motors ( Stromer (tdcm) , Bafang, Dapu, Gmac) to this test? Would this be...

Yes I do! here it is https://www.instagram.com/petropoliskhan/ Happy to share more experiences, tips and adventures

Hey Owelt/insight show, I thought it was you! I've seen all of your videos, watched them multiple times, before buying my ST5. You may remember we even communicated. My name is Alex de Jonge! I've hot waxed my chain (love the clean look and whisper quiet drivetrain), changed the brake pads...

Wow ! Thanks a lot for the detailed explanation. Makes perfect sense! Will try tomorrow. Could you perhaps show me a picture of the B screw and the upper and lower limit screws ? (If it isn’t too much of an imposition) I will look forward to seeing your video on YT. Btw : what is the name of...

Ok , i've tried and understand. The micro adjustment buttons work. Apart from obvious grinding noises, how does one know if it is precisely done right. +- 1 or 2 clicks/ notches is very subtle and not easily visible or heard when the bike is on the repair stand or when riding because of wind...

Thank you Indianajo for bringing up the "derailleur is faster" point. Court has often mentioned in passing, during his reviews that he prefers derailleurs because they are more sporty @AbeK , @Ravi Kempaiah ,@Johnny and others would probably agree and they know, have ridden all kinds of bikes...

Hey Alaskan, You & I are close to a consensus . I'm gonna go ahead and say that this: "I think it is reasonable to ask that people let folks know when their statement is based on what they have read versus what they have ridden but again, enforcement is not really feasible. Besides any attempt...

Hi Akrotiri, I appreciate your attempt to "lower the temperature" of some heated debates in this forum. Kudos. However restriction of anyones speech would invariably lead to that slippery slope you speak of. How about we suggest that people only speak of experience they've had with bikes/gear...

Agreed, point taken. Moving on...

I am glad that you have found a bike that is suitably configurable that brings you joy . Stay healthy! I will ride on!😉
