    Quietest motor?

    I agree with ruffruff here on the quietness of the Yamaha PW Series. Its second on my list behind the Brose. I find sound clips of motor noise to be useless and nowhere near what I experience in real life. In addition, the noise can be affected by so many things like microphone/gains/software...

    Quietest motor?

    I put ALOT of value on a quiet motor. You do get used to the noise but its really nice when you dont hear it. Of all the motors (Brose, Yamaha, Shimano, Bosc) I have tested, Brose is the quietest. As such all of the factory mid-drives I have bought have been Brose. The Specialized Vados are...

    How is purely torque-sensing PAS actually implemented?

    Your correct in that its hard to find TMM4 info that talks about a candence sensor. That being said, it can be seen clearly in their own pic (the square nub thingy) https://surface604bikes.com/products/2020-torque-sensor Looks identical to the Juiced (look at both pics)...

    Horn, Bell or Voice, how to warn others of your presence and intentions

    I just use the incredibell, simple and cheap, I have tried several different types but other people are just too hard to predict. https://mirrycle.com/item/original-incredibell/ There is no simple solution to this as every trail user is unique and there is no magic formula. Nothing works 100%...
