Hi again Stefan , no worries about Belgian topography 😉. Yes the Stromer lineup is legal and quite popular in the north of Belgium. The Riese &Mueller bikes are clearly,premium,beautiful, solid, high quality but are they truly 45km/h-28mph capable bikes? Do the Hs versions that are restricted...

Hi , Stefan! Thanks for joining this conversation. A couple of months ago I very briefly rode a very nice Hnf-Nicolai XD2 equipped with the latest Bosch gen 4 performance Cx speed motor https://www.hnf-nicolai.com/shop/modelle/xd2-urban.html Very nice, high quality but quite different...

Hi, it’s me again. Earlier in the thread I spoke of vague, misleading marketing for the ill informed novice. See the wording on the website « Unprecedented speed up to 45km/h» « ...you can achieve great speeds of 40-45 km/h .... » I saw 50Nm of torque and other verbiage and thought bingo! I...

Hi ebiker01, It i As you see, it is a 36v battery.... I don’t even know where the controller is or what it looks like...and I would void the warranty and the official road legal certification if I modified the bike. I wish I had known all this info before buying. I can honestly say that it takes...

Hi Ebiker01, Wow... thanks for your "short" response! Lots of interesting info! The "FOC" stuff is way over my head!!! I'm no engineer... Ah yes the controller , I had forgotten to mention its importance in determining the speed and acceleration properties of ebikes. I don't know if it is...

Hey Bluecat, That is precisely what I am trying to do. There are many fine mid drive bikes from many reputable manufacturers :Trek,Specialized, Riese & Muller, BMC, Cube, Giant, Kalkhoff, Moustachebikes and many others ... They pretty much offer only Mid drive motors from Bosch, Yamaha, Shimano...

Hi Hi ebiker01, I have recently bought a QWIC RD11s (dutch manufacturer) https://qwic.eu/series/performance/ Rear hub motor by taiwanese manufacturer TDCM. 36v, 500W, 50nM torque, 625Wh battery. Suntour magnesium alloy 75 fork, Magura MT5e brakes ,180 mm rotors, Suspension seatpost...

Hahaha very funny...I was naively hoping to have an interesting conversation with someone who’s passionate about fast commuter bikes in general. You obviously are only interested in lobbying for one brand ( maybe ebiker01 is right about your being paid. He also is weirdly fanatical about his...

Hi Bluecat, I think you may have misunderstood what I wrote earlier. As I mentioned earlier I have tested the new ST1 . It's a fine bike, with the keyless smartlock bluetooth thing The ST1(500Wh) has has smaller battery than the code 650wH!. You're right the cockpit of the ST5 is a beautiful...

Hi Bluecat, Thank you for your response. Alright I agree that the placement of the battery is not optimal could even be somewhat of a nuisance when ejecting it for charging. However I do like the clean appearance of it and i have an indoor garage where i can charge the battery at above zero...

Hi Bluecat,I know you like Stromer bikes and represent/defend them in this forum. I believe that your "on the other hand" comment is unfair. This looks like a great alternative to the Stromers, preorders are through the roof in Belgium says the marketing / sales director of MTB Cycletech that I...

They are 48v gearless, brushless direct drives. the MTB cycletech 500w nominal 700w peak, 650wh battery , 40nm max torque. The Klever: 600w, 850Wh battery, 49nm torque!!!!

What do you think about these premium euro bikes, that feature a powerful rear hub motor, a carbon belt and Pinion gears, Supernova M99 mini front light, Magura MT5e brakes ?

Saw this today @ velofollies in Kortrijk Belgium The Stromer 2020 concept will sit between the new ST1 and the ST3 in terms of power and price. As it stands it features a 5 speed integrated gear hub by Sturmey Archer

Hi, I bought a Qwic Rd11s a couple of months ago to see if I would enjoy commuting on an e-bike. It was marketed as a euro legal speed pedelec 45km/h - 28mph . ( I live in Belgium). I really enjoy riding it but I am a little disappointed by it's actual real world performance speed, especially...

Thank you for your response

Thank you for this explanation. I am interested in understanding how the wattage/voltage/torque figures are an indication of realistic city performance of top speed / uphill speed for rear hub drive commuter bikes. These bikes are advertised as 45Km/h, 28mph speedbikes. However, my research and...

Hi, could someone please tell me if upgrading from a set of marathon GT tires to the new E-plus tires provide , marginal or significantly better grip on wet roads. Is the marathon e-plus a tubeless tire? Or a "normal" tubed tire but with reinforced puncture protection? Thank you

So your saying that a 800w 48v Stromer ST3 or 5 would do it? Thanks for your reply👍

Thank very much sir
