    Charging Ebikes on EV Charging stations

    The Bosch 'fast' charger used by OP is non-switching, 50Hz, i.e. of limited use, stateside. I'd say @ava1ar has made the best possible use of this resource that is otherwise too limited to be useful in the US. The Grin Cycle Satiator with the Bosch adapter (pre- Smart System) is an alternative...

    Key Bridge Collapse May Affect Bike Imports

    While I live in the DC metro, I keep my sailboat in Sparrows Point, which is to 'the right' of the bridge. Sparrows Point is the site of former Bethlehem Steel (furnace came down in 2012) and is now Tradepoint Atlantic, a major distribution center. Residents in the area transitioned from steel...

    Salsa e-Bikes - Bikepacking Options

    Kuhn made a $1.1 mill offer, but the other side wants to be paid $0.50/ticket in perpetuity. I don't have the numbers for the operating costs, taxes etc, but it stands to reason that Kuhn feels it's too big of a bite. The C&O is a completely different experience outside of DC-Potomac and HP. No...

    Salsa e-Bikes - Bikepacking Options

    No, the dirt is relatively packed since the washout goes back to June 2018. This was a temporary detour maybe 8 miles before Williamsport. The C&O is only super crowded the first 20 miles or so, and then again around Harper's Ferry for a bit. That leaves 150-160 miles of relative solitude...

    Salsa e-Bikes - Bikepacking Options

    Salsa is a business which has read the same reports we all have: bicycle sales are abysmal while ebikes represent the only growth. This is their wheelhouse, so this is what they bolt the Bosch motor on. I was out on the C&O canal (flat, dirt) and hit a detour up a very steep hill. The ground...

    Could "E-Bikepacking" Become A Thing asks Bikepacking.com

    I'm skeptical about feelers inquiring whether something can be a 'thing.' I've been cross-country 2X on an e-bike and have done my fair share of shorter bike-packing excursions. Not going to talk about packing 2 chargers, solar trailers etc as this has been discussed to death. The elephant in...

    New Jersey Would Be Foolish To Require E-Bike Insurance & Registration

    The bike licensing/registration is an interesting piece of history --thank you, but I this was pre-interstate America with relatively fewer cars on the road. What percentage of American households even owned a car? It made sense in 1935 to bike on the roads for transportation. Today's reality...

    Bodch Ebike diagnostic tool

    If you have a Bosch-certified dealer near you, you shouldn't need the tool. For a reasonable fee (usually), you can have the full report printed out for you. Depending on your engine version, there are a few options that can be changed for you as well in software. As an example, I requested...

    Anyone hear or try shimano linkglide?

    I have it on my RM Load 60. shift under load: Excellent less chain slip: Excellent Wear: New cassette at 4600 miles -- old one was very worn. I just put on my third chain at 0.8 -- I'd estimate about 2300-2500 miles/chain. My LBS is impressed. This is a heavy bike often loaded with cargo...

    Rohloff E-14 / Bosch setup Rough shifting - rather disappointing

    Motor pause - It is barely noticeable as everyone else has stated. Gear 7 is noisy for all. I would talk to Co-Motion as well.

    Rohloff E-14 / Bosch setup Rough shifting - rather disappointing

    So the motor is on the rear crank? Which rider does the shifting, front or rear? Does letting off the pedals momentarily apply to both riders? Have you experienced your issues riding solo or with a partner?
