    Trust me, the 200 quid devices are a way better :) Especially if combined with a solid route planner such as Komoot. You can ride a complicated route in a forest almost with your eyes closed :) Well, my Wahoo ACE cost 450 quids but I started from another level, beginning from Wahoo Roam 1 :)...

    I had to fix the front mudguard in my Vado 6.0. I need to start with it is one of a very few original parts on my e-bike! (Almost everything else -- I say everything including the frame -- was replaced!) I only removed the long mudflap several years ago as it was a constant nuisance. For...

    I think @Chargeride would starve in Poland, because... ...Cheddar is hardly available in my country :) It is either Edam or Gouda or Tilsit (my favourite) or Emmentaler through any of hundreds local cheese types to imported and specialty cheese but no Cheddar :) A picture taken this evening at...

    Nothing will surprise me with the nation who puts the fried potatoes (aka chips/French fries) or crisps/chips into a toast sandwich :) P.S. Still fond of the British cuisine perhaps with the exception of lamb or jelly eels :) P.S.2. Still cannot understand the nation that thinks cheddar is the...

    I asked because you put a kind of "number plate" on your e-bike and I thought you wanted to cover the number plate support (which is present on HS e-bikes) :)

    Is your R&M the High Speed (HS) version, @Dima? Well, well, well... Snow? "Motivation" Ride with Tommy Tommy had requested a relatively short but interesting ride, so I invented something for him in my neighbourhood :) The first 15 km were totally uneventful, almost all on bike paths. As we...

    Specialized Turbo Vado SL: An Incredible E-Bike (User Club)

    Jeremy, perhaps I will say something obvious, yet... There is no sales tax in Europe. The Value Added Tax is what any end consumer (an individual or a business) has to pay. Only the business can deduct the VAT from the goods or services it bought to produce something more valuable (which is...

    News: The reportedly 1/8" Chinese made hex wrench turned out to be as good as the rest of the Chinese scrap metal. 1/8" = 3.175 mm. The key measures 3.08 mm on one side and 3.52 mm on the other (I didn't measure the third side). So the key does not fit the 1/8" American bolt socket of the...
