The watch is the Venu 2, and the app (or data fields) is Steps EMTB. https://apps.garmin.com/en-US/apps/461743f9-b350-486f-bd87-613c7b0bab90 This is more of an alternative to a handlebar mounted display, and allows you to choose what data fields you want displayed. (I was wrong in saying it...

I'd consider a rechargeable tactical light like one from Fenix or Olight, and a handlebar or helmet mount, depending on your preference. I picked up a Fenix PD36R on sale for just under $100 CDN (currently $100 US), and have used it on my bike using some cheap universal silicone handlebar clamp...

After getting a Garmin watch (not just for cycling), I took the quad lock off my handlebars. The Garmin watch collects my biometrics, as well as better GPS data than my phone did, as well as e-bike data via ANT+ (using Steps EMTB data fields widget which can be configured to show different...

I love the Arundel cage! I've used it for various larger diameter containers, from spare water to a 1.14L bottle of vodka. Even a Stanley two cup cookset to make some cowboy coffee on the road after a long ride.

I'll have to check the local shops to see if they're in stock... not willing to completely give up Same. Nuff said! Can't get anything done when the beast is in a mood. :)

I borrowed a spare pair of my friend's Shokz to try with my Cat-Ears. The added bulk of the Cat Ears put rearward pressure on the Shokz, which made it just a little uncomfortable, but the more annoying thing was on more bumpy gravelly rides, that pressure on the front created a pivot point...

I'd say something like the Allant 7+ should be on the list... $3000 Canadian cheaper MSRP than the Vado 5.0 at $4999 vs $7999 for the Vado 5. The Allant 7 CAN accommodate the larger 625Wh battery (default is 500), which brings it closer in line to the Vado 5's 710Wh, and probably still a lighter...

If you can find a cheap steel grill, then I think it should work. One concern would be heat though, if in direct sunlight. The inside of a closed grill can get pretty hot, which isn't good for battery life.

I recall the older model coming up in discussions here including one EBR user put it on a Brompton and liking it. I would guess that the motor is the same 36V 250W of their older kit, just with a funkier battery design (and maybe updated pedal sensor?).

I'll admit, I had to scratch my head at some of the answers, as they didn't quite make sense to me. :) After looking at a couple of emtb forum asking the same question, the big issue would be that the chainring moves independent of the ring (the chainring doesn't move when pedaling backwards)...

Is that right though, on a torque sensing mid-drive? In the "silly questions" department, if an elliptical chain minimizes the dead zone by smoothing out the torque delivery to the rear wheel, wouldn't it also do the same for motor output (less spikey, especially on a climb)?

The closest thing I've seen to an adapter kit is this motor frame meant for custom builders https://www.ticycles.com/ticycletubes/motor-cabinet-shimano-steps-e6100-e7000-e8000-lightweight-steel-bracket A good frame builder might be able to replace the old plates with the side plates from this...

Orbea Kemen - more trekking oriented, and with the standard EP8, not RS. The RS has demonstrated some exceptional mileage per Wh in some online tests, so it's surprising a trekking oriented bike has the regular EP8. (updated)

Sorry to hear about your troubles. Bookmarking that site, just in case. Knock on wood, but my Shimano E6100 has been through 6000km of worry free riding (with more offroad than originally intended).

Yeah, I guesstimated about 25%-30% loss efficiency off the top of my head, so 33% sounds about right. It sounds like the OP's biggest hurdle is not using the gas genny to recharge the bike while at the RV, as opposed to extending the single ride range, so I figured a portable power station that...

I've read conflicting opinions on charging e-bikes directly with solar and an inverter, but it certainly can be done. Another option is to use a small battery power station like a Jackery 300 that can be charged via solar, then charging the e-bike with that. I know there's a loss of...

It's a good idea? ;) There's been lots of discussion about it... https://electricbikereview.com/forums/search/3543654/?q=insurance&c[title_only]=1&o=relevance Check your home policy... Some home/content polices include e-bikes as "exercise equipment" (we have coverage this way with our...

I saw an unboxing video of this just yesterday, and the battery is definitely removeable... Don't trust the bad photoshop with lightning bolts around the cells. :) The battery case looks like the same style found in other in-frame fat folders like the Lectric XP.

When I was young, I had all the nerve, but never that level of skill, and the scars to prove it. :D Videos like these (and Wibmer) make me wish I could turn back time, but no regrets. Eyes on the trails ahead. :)

Is this the EBR list you're thinking of? It's updated (roughly?) yearly... https://electricbikereview.com/best-electric-bikes/
