    Where do you keep your bike?

    here the most households have a dedicated bikeshed/storage in the Netherlands. We store most of our bikes there, a few folding bikes are stored in house and the bikes at the datcha are also in a bikeshed. No electra in it so charging is under the popup tent on the patio or in the living area...

    New bike recommendation

    which spec? just looked at the duots branded one, flimsy brakes, phased out gear system, cheap components (fork is worrying) and what is going on on the handle bar with al these plastic remotes in weird positions? I have not ridden the bike so cannot judge on that part. you get what you pay for.

    What have you learned from your e-bike experiences?

    Just read the opening post with the pictures. I would count on my service colleagues to come to the conclusion that this rearwheel indeed would have been ridden over a longer period with a to low spoke tension. Based on where the spokes broke (elbow on trailing spokes on the Drive side). How...

    Do you ride with someone?

    Kommit tow system? TowWhee strap? to name a few.... M-\wave and Zefal also have those systems in adventure races they use a small diameter dynamic climbing rope to tow the weakest teammember on the mtb courses. usually a 6.2mm dynamic cord from a twin rope system.

    what is this on my steerer tube?

    Monoshock fork. Those resest bolts are used to let the forks inner shaft glide in the correct angle through the outer steerer tube so you can actually steer with the thing. These bolts overcome the free play when the glide plates/bushings wear out.

    Another e-bike recall, Bakfiets.nl

During internal research, we have found that a small series of frames was not equipped with a reinforcement plate.

    What have you learned from your e-bike experiences?

    since I was riding MTB's in the early 1990-ish it became clear that my wrenching skills where better than competition riding. And after wearing the knees out in the mid-90'sh I started a so called "student-job" at a bikeshop and worked on the first e-bikes in I think 1996 or 97. So been riding...

    2026 R&M Models video overview from Propel

    I've indeed read that, at our OEM side we do not have the dual batt option at this moment. I've asked around at Bosch. let's see why we do not have this option at this moment.

    Wabash-RT creaking due to chainring play (?)

    just checkt some other bikes, mix of Bosch Bes2 and Bes3, Shimano. all had a little axial play on the chain/belt ring. Yamaha has indeed a bit more free play.

    2026 R&M Models video overview from Propel

    Correct, did see that one. a few old colleagues of me are sales reps at R&M, they told me that the supercharger was out due to no dual batt support on bes3 (which also is the case for our bikes which came with dual batteries prior to bes3) and that they had to rely on an RE for more Wh. BES3...

    supercharger is out cause no dual battery setup for BES3 and RE for Bosch. demand was also not that big to retain an extra sku.
