Do these numbers mean that the Civante can climb hills faster than the Wabash and Cross Core bc of the 2.2 gain ratio?

Nice!

Lol - yes, we have one month of winter (January). But we can go cycling year-round. If you’re ever in San Diego, we should go on a ride. Btw - I also am considering the 105 for the smoother shifters and rear derailleur. I don’t mind the weight of the Tiagra crankset (I think the crankset would...

Wow, GREAT

Sure thing Greydog, I live in San Diego so quite far from Twin Cities. I’d also like to upgrade the group set to the 105’s. But, I’ve heard the 105’s are now 11-speed and Yamaha says the Civante motor was programmed to work as a 10-speed. Changing the group set to an 11-speed wouldn’t align well...

I agree the tires are perfect! The bikes without drop handlebars (like the Moro Pro and Cross Connect) don’t have this issue because the display is in a different position. I really like the position of our displaysso I won’t be moving it around. I’m sure we’ll find a good cable configuration.

Thanks, I’ll buy them today!!

Dave, with the current location of the display, I am having a hard time finding a USB-C “right angle” that is short enough to fit in the limited space I have to plug it in. You probably don’t have this problem because your stem is an inch higher. Did. You also have a hard time getting in a USB-C...

Hi Greydog, I bought a Civante a month ago. I upgraded the pedals to the Shimano PD-540 and use the Specialized Recon 2 MTB shoes. I start to get uncomfortable on the seat after 30 miles of riding. But, I bought Rapha’s Pro Team bib and that has made a world of difference. Rapha’s Classic and...

Wow, That is awesome!!

Ok thanks

I found some power curves for the Yamaha SE motor. Do these graphs tell us anything about the Yamaha motor providing a consistent 70nm of torque? I read somewhere that the peak power of the PW-SE motor is 72rpm. Does that mean that with a cadence of 72, this motor can consistently supply the...

I go pretty slow going up the steep climbs. So the torque really only helps me on on climbs. I didn’t know that. THANKS. So if I’m climbing for an hour at 30rpm, the 85nm or torque would be there to assist me theoretically until the battery dies. Correct? THANKS for the graph!! I’ve never seen that

1/3 of the time we ride fast. My cadences are 75-105 because my friends with non-electric bikes like to ride 25-29mph for about an hour of our ride. One hour is steep hills, and the last hour is usually 14-18mph. I’m the only one with an ebike so I need the torque and the double chainring for...

Cool, thanks. I can’t tell if it has a double chainring but the rest of the specs look great.

The Sora group set and the single chainring are a deal breaker. I‘m looking for at least a 105 group set with a double chain ring and a powerful motor (for my future purchase). I could only find the specs I want from Giant, Trek and Yamaha. I’m curious if those are the only bike manufacturers...

I’m just keeping an eye out for my next road bike (700cc tires and a double chain ring are a must). But thanks for the suggestion!

I just started riding a bike recently. I am fit but the last time I was on a bike I was 10-years old :) And that is great news about the Cannondale. With a single chain ring, I’m sure the 85nm torque motor will compensate for the lack of a double chainring.

Only time will time. The ebike market is supposed to exponentially grow in the next 5 years so I believe they’ll be around at least the next 5 years. But, I do believe it’ll depend on the health of the ebike market in 5-10 years.

None of the specialized road bikes have a min of 70nm of torque and they have less than 500w batteries. The older I get the more I’ll actually need a min of 85nm of torque. The Cannondale has 65nm of toque but it does have all of the other specs and is nicely spec’d. Thanks for the suggestions.
