Thanks again for sharing your experience. I'm intrigued but think I should hold back on purchase. There aren't many reviews that I could find but some that I found seem to indicate that it might not be a good choice for me. Paraphrasing one review of the p110: "when stopping on an uphill...

I've been looking into the Keyde a little more and have a couple questions, if you don't mind, since their description and the description on the US distributer leaves something to be desired. Is the S110 cadence sensing or torque sensing (they describe the S110 as "PAS" but the P110 as "torque...

Was within 50 yards of a grizzly last week walked bike roadside along a line of cars blocking the road then rode on. A motorcyclist trapped in the line of cars wasn't happy to be stopped with no way out. Ranger drove up to the traffic jam and told drivers to move on but they didn't comply for...

Didn't realize that Mahle was direct either. I really don't have a strong preference because they all have significant bothersome limitations. I've installed and removed my TSDZ2 mid drives (have two) on several bikes. They work very well, similar to my Yamaha PW-SE equipped gravel bike...

I didn't realize that it was direct drive, doesn't seem optimal for extended very hilly riding but I have no experience with direct drive ebike motors. Excessive heat for the controller encased with the motor sounds concerning but mid drives also have controllers enclosed in close proximity with...

I had mentioned the Keyde in another of the OP posts, but they (OP and an engineer friend) decided to try to reinvent the wheel themselves rather than buy something off the shelf. Any further information that you can share might be helpful to someone with a real & practical interrest. If I...

Fork definitely. Wheel size to 27.5 - I don't see why not.

Since you like your Giant why not look into swapping the heavy suspension fork for carbon rigid which will drop maybe 4 pounds and lower the front of your bike some. Maybe consider changing your wheels to 27.5 too.

Good luck with the sale of your ebike. Bikeflights is a good bike shipping company that I've used a couple times for regular bikes but they do have an ebike shipping option. You can check pricing on their web site...

For a 10 mile flat commute a hub drive would probably be all you needed but for less $ than a decent quality hub bike not often mentioned are the new old stock Yamaha Cross Core RC which are $1199 with a strong mid drive, hydraulic disc brakes, suspension fork which might be nice for commuting...

Blueberry, if you still check in on this thread, where did you see that they (Qiroll?) say B70 batteries can be used with the Pro? I did message them and all they messaged back is the generic statement that the H70 is for the Pro and the B70 is for the Mute. I ended up buying a Pro and did try...

I made up another switch using latching rocker switches. I think I'll stick with this and may or may not add a brake cut out. The 6 ft usb micro extensions I have (came two in a pack, for ~$8 back when I bought them) have 4 wires, red (not used), black (common ground), green (corresponds to...

Blueberry posted the wiring info which I followed, it's pretty simple. I didn't want one of the handlebar mounted switches because they limit placement. Just ordered some rocker switches to try those out, cost $3.99 including shipping for 5 of them on Amazon. I wanted latching so I could...

You can make your own switch for ~$10 with a 6ft usb micro extension (make sure it has data wires, not just charging) and switches of your choice. The extension wires are very small gauge so soldering can be a challenge.

I agree that a spring hinge seems like the best mounting option for no other reason than that tires/wheels often aren't perfectly round circumferentially so with a static mount the motor pressure on the tire fluctuates which allows slipping. I've used a few different spring hinges and found...

$200 Walmart folder I bought many years ago to put in the back of my car and ride a gravel dike path after work. Rode after dark in the winter with coyotes and deer for company, eyes glinting from my headlamp. Was a good ride for limited distances on gravel. I like the bike and wanted to give...

Does your spring hinge hold the roller tight enought on the tire to prevent slipping especially in the high setting? I tried my Qiroll on a 20" folder riding a gravel rails to trails. Qiroll did fine but 20" folder wasn't a good bike choice on this sometimes loose and bumpy gravel. Fun few...
