One thing perhaps to consider is a spare set of wheels with road biased tyres, especially if your rides are going to be split between road/cycle path use and trail use. Miles of road cycling on nobbly tyres is not only less efficient but the drone from the tyres will annoy you eventually.

Got another 10 miles in on the Fastroad EX Pro yesterday, note exactly earth shattering distances but a cool grey day and more back road cycling with the wife alongside on her Kalkhoff (bar the steep bits where her hub gearing isn;t low enough for her, even on max assist, so she has to bail out...

Pace was a steady 12mph, limited by my wife who’s not a confident cyclist and not ridden for two years. Had I gone up a power assist level I think 16/17mph would have been without much effort. I know I have the power assist levels tuned lower than factory on the upper assist modes, I’d have to...

Matching pedals and rucksack - I like it. the rucksack looks excellent for inclement weather 🌧🌧🌧

Just done my first 10 mile ride on new Fastroad E EXPro, assist limited to 15.5mph in the UK. Did 4 miles constant on 7% ascent in just eco mode (lowest assist) without any issues at all. I’m similar build to you and the ML frame size suits me perfect. A few steeper uphill sections (12%) I moved...

First ride out on the new Fastroad EX Pro, nothing major as my other half was with me on her Kalkhoff (having not ridden for a few years and not the most confident cyclist either). Stuck to local cycle paths and some country lanes (full of traffic sod’s law), but a pleasant 10 miles none the...

I guess it depends why you are asking - has the performance dropped off over the years, or you just want more stopping power ? A swap of pads might help (old pads, contamination on current set-up ?) As for the 'bigger is better' argument .. The 2018 models got bigger brakes - 180mm versus...

Factory tyres are 26 x 4 Kenda Juggernauts i believe

Came across this bike storage on a residential street near Bristol (UK) - seems like a reasonable idea if only to provide weather protection for those bikes that cannot be stored inside garages/houses. My thoughts.. 1. Its not great for security, especially if it relies on other users...

I don’t think you can go far wrong with the Allant 7, it might not be the cheapest option but it has a good riding position (semi upright, less MTB, less weight on the hands), good battery and known brand components that are tried n tested and generally held as spares by many bike shops. I’d...

I thought about these a little more today , decided to get one from a UK supplier. I think they will be a good addition to my teenage sons road bike as he’s often nipping between friends houses in the dark evenings. If it keeps him visible for a month or so i’ll be happy. I’ll report back.

After a couple of weeks i've concluded the saddle bag, whilst great value, is too small for me - the wife says she'll use it for her lipsticks when out riding ! So i have a different saddle bag on route, should be 50% bigger and more suited. Adding to my increasing number of cycling...

You might also want to take a look at Cube Kathmandu (various spec levels, battery capacities on offer - almost bewildering range of models in some countries), and the Trek Allant 7 range. The latter in particular offers quite an upright riding style, adjustable stem and swept back bars - a...

I'm surprised by how many people report similar with their Turbo Vados - with a 20' upswept stem you'd have thought the front end would encourage a slightly more upright style and take some weight off the front. I assume the retailer, or yourself, have done the basic bike fit , seat height ...

Well yes, but i bet a good proportion of ebike buyers arent that interested in adjusting power levels, for some the info on the screen is plenty

My issue is resolved. I drove a hour back to Giant store Bristol yesterday. The bike went straight onto the stand in the service area and 20 minutes later it had received 2 software updates and a firmware update. Very pleasant service guys who had me on my way again within thirty minutes total...

There may also bee some adjustment available on the battery catches at the top of the battery compartment-

Was about to suggest the same thing - a strip of self adhesive foam tape should sort it, perhaps better still a piece of thin neoprene as that won't hold any water thrown up from the wheels
