    Looking for an e-bike in NZ

    The relatively light weight and utility of Tern bikes like the Vektron folder and Quick Haul model are worth a test ride. I'm partial to the converted Pashley bikes supplied by Adam Blackwell, not modern technology but drum brakes work fine in the rain. Also the Wisper Wayfarer seems a decent...

    questions to people that are commuting

    My mileage is lower at about 1,500-2,000 annually. I'm on my second battery and the first lasted 5 years. The Schwalbe Marathon rear tire lasts on average two years, front is a year-old Schwalbe Mondial and has plenty of tread. I go through maybe 2-3 inner tubes each year. The Enviolo CVT is...

    Step-Thru

    Surge Traveler P5e. UK model. This folder from a British shop that also sells Tern, Riese & Mueller, etc, is priced similarly to a Tern Vektron Q9 but has Enviolo CVT, the more powerful Bosch Performance motor, and larger PowerPack 500 battery.

    ToSeven DM Series Mid Motors

    The High Voltage YouTube channel has posted an excellent series of videos on the ToSeven motor that can be viewed from this playlist. My preferred Bafang mid-drive supplier California Ebike is now taking pre-orders on Toseven motors. Watching the videos it seems the kit currently does not come...

    A Beautiful Idea!

    In the EU there are a few mid-drive with mid-mounted IGH combo motors coming onto the market, That’s nice because it leaves both wheels easy to remove when changing a tube/tire. I’ve given up doing tube/tire changes because it’s very time consuming and I usually end up breaking something, last...

    A Beautiful Idea!

    I have a 36v BBS01b & Enviolo CVT combo on my bike. I agree the Enviolo works well for commuting, and is a lot stronger than the Nexus 8 IGH hubs I tried previously and broke with the torque of the motor. I like how you use a chain tensioner to make it work on your FS bike. Mine is a basic town...

    This E-Bike With Built-In ChatGPT Is the Epitome of Overblown AI Hype

    ChatGPT is good at pattern matching, but is it still making up fictitious citations? Can't be trusted, but can be used to spread disinformation. Prompt engineering appears to be the current suggested workaround.
