The next chapter: You don't always get what you pay for.

This is what a high end commuter should be. Unfortunately there are no such offerings in the states. It has only one drawback, if it is corrected it would be the perfect commuter bicycle.

+1 Please let us know how those very tall gears feel on the hills.

Most likely answer is price discrimination. Change the support speed limit and sell the same motor for $400 more, a good way of making money... I always liked this bike, at the current market prices given the components this bike is a very good deal (at least as good if not better than verve+3...

Looks really really beautiful. Wren is a great choice , it is the best fat tire suspension fork out there (Wren makes the best inverted forks in general). I also love your wheels. The only think I would have done differently is probably the handlebars. Don't get me wrong it is probably...

For those of you who think 750W is not much I can say that you are mistaken. Even at 750W nominal that bike will be far quicker and faster than any mainstream like brose in Levo. Don't compare peak powers they are not sustained for long periods that may only help in technical sections that the...

What is said about software business may be right. However in terms of business I think the point is missed. It is not deliberately making a bad product, it is about leaving a product unfinished to make more money from another one. Bosch first acquires a competing product. Right now it has...

We are on the same page that they messed it up. However I don't think the job is that hard. Cpu/ ram etc. is not a problem, even a low end smartphone with 1-2gb or ram is more than capable to collect/process and visualize the data from the sensors. I don't know what nyon uses but every...

As someone who likes cobi concept, I am stating some facts and my displeasure on bosch doing nothing to fix cobi, hope that clears it up.

Paying $500+ for a device which is far inferior to a smartphone just because it has a better the mounting interface should not be justified in any way. There is absolutely no reason why cobi can not work as well and be as functional as nyon. The reason why phones pop out of the holder seems...

Depends on how the winter conditions are. I haven't tried waxing in salt and snow but it help up well under rain. For lube a thick lube is probably the way to go, light lubes like rocknroll are horrible for snow/ slush etc. Read good things about Silca's wet lube...

Yes it has. At %568 it has significantly more range than any 11 or 12 cassette that I know of. It also has wider range than rohloff. Previous pinions are known to be very reliable and this is probably no exception.

Unfortunately this is the misconception I hear a lot. FS is simply on another level. Seatpost suspension brings nothing to handling, FS on the other hand significantly improves handling on rough terrain. Comfort wise, a well adjusted FS is head and shoulders above any suspension seatpost...

Yes you can, for both. That's how I charge my di2. May be you should leave some answers to owners who have experience on these bikes. Not only Di2 battery goes for around 6 months for each full charge there is also a battery indicator light on the di2 junction check di2 charge level on the...

Unfortunately that law has a twist, "Class 1 and Class 2 electric bicycles may be allowed as long as they're not specifically called out as prohibited." So if I understand it right the local authority can prohibit it.

Maybe I was unlucky. I don't doubt that state rules do not prohibit riding of ebikes but it may still be up to the local authority in the end.

Missed this one. Bay area, mission peak. But it is not the only trail. Majority of the trails have the same no-ebike restriction. I was thinking about some low powered fazua system but I guess I will switch to regular mtb's. On the other hand if there were no restrictions I would have liked...

Isn't that true for majority of the companies? When Iphone had a small screen "it was the perfect size for hand and larger screens were unnecessary" until they increased the screen size, now they have only one smallish size model, pen was unnecessary until they added one ipad. Mainstream mid...

Same thing happened to me. It is a problem with wheel installation and the right torque. Check the torque of the axle should be 25nm according to manual. I was also recommended to grease on the threads and head of the axle where it contacts the frame when wheel is re installed. Prevents torque...

Stromer has better cable integration than the bike in your example, try to test ride an ST5 if you have the opportunity.
