    Giant Ease e is very less supporting

    We don't know what the history of the e-bike is and what could be broken (if anything).

    Need Saddle Advice!

    I presume pedalling is as easy as while sitting on a couch :D

    Hello everybody

    Very, very nice and clean work! Did you need to do anything special with the e-bike display to integrate it?

    Giant Ease e is very less supporting

    I know what he means. The Ease E+ provides a little assistance. Well, this is a relatively old e-bike, and the front hub motor is really weak (30 Nm). It is what it is.

    Hello everybody

    So you did manage to get the MTB version of Di2, didn't you Paweł? Tell me more! What is the groupset model, exactly?

    It is red cabbage. Both red and white cabbage are common in Polish salads :) Grated carrot is another fave :)

    Wychódźc - Nowy Secymin Ferry (and the land along the Vistula) I apologise for a big number of photos. There are 32 bridgeless kilometres (20 miles) along River Vistula between Wyszogród and Modlin. Following the wishes of citizens, local government of Mazovia hired a boat to connect both river...

    I made it! Yes, I was able to cross the Vistula by the new (seasonal) ferry north-west of Warsaw! Yay! I am as exhausted as I am even unable to process the ride photos as for now. There is a Romanesque church of 1155 behind my back but who cares? :D

    Fancy seatpost for more saddle angle adjustment?

    @efair didn't you orient the seat-post clamp part the wrong way?

    Ordered Creo 2 Comp need info about app, bike, etc please

    No no. Narrow tyres will put the bottom bracket too low. A danger of pedal strikes. That's why I mentioned "geometry" in my earlier post. It is 47 mm Tracer Pro. A tyre of a big volume. Very supple and comfortable. And fast rolling. No reason to replace these excellent and expensive rubbers...

    It can be very warm but not at the level of smelling hot plastic. Use a fan, perhaps? What is the model number of your charger? It should be clearly stated in the text printed printed on the charger.

    The Impossible Has Become Possible? There should be a ferry crossing between Wychódźc and Secymin, far northwest of Warsaw, but there was none. Last year, local people voted on something called Citizens' Budget. People are asked how their local taxes should be spent, and they voted for a...

    How to change turbo mode to be as smooth as ECO

    I'm fully aware the OP does not need any advice more, only some practising under the normal ride conditions. I write this so everybody can understand the situation. The OP is used to ride a traditional pedal bike at 8 mph, which is a normal speed for an untrained rider. She expects the e-bike...

    New TQ Motor

    You cannot increase torque without increasing the power (at the same reference angular speed). The de-rated HPR 60 will have the same torque as HPR 50. At the industry standard of 6.28 rad/s, 300 W mechanical produces 47.8 Nm. 350 W gives 55.7 Nm. The torque values given by manufacturers are...

    How to change turbo mode to be as smooth as ECO

    All I can recommend to you is resetting the e-bike settings to the defaults and setting off for a normal ride in your neighbourhood. Expect riding at 12-15 mph. Then you will understand how wonderful your Gazelle is :) This lady, a friend and a senior person is a weakling. Still, she is...

    How to change turbo mode to be as smooth as ECO

    8 mph being a high speed? A typing mistake? It is very slow as for an e-bike, and using Turbo at such a low speed seems a nonsense for me... A typical e-bike speed in Europe including the UK is 13-15 mph. It is the most classical mid-drive motor you can get :) That explains it all. E-bike will...
