My BH gravel "X" mid drive ebike has 24 straight pull blade spoke wheels. No broken spokes but the thing I like about them best is that if I ever have a broken spoke it can be replaced easily roadside without having to remove any hardware like cassette or brake disc. I carried a couple spare...

I'm not advocating for anyone buying a Qiroll friction assist motor but it could be a solution for someone who doesn't need the capability, or want the weight, of a traditional ebike but would like occasional assist. Total weight is ~3.5 pounds including battery so a typical aluminum bike can...

Nice day for a ride yesterday on my favorite bike, a Walmart Schwinn hybrid that I've had for many years. In the past I've added a mid drive TSDZ2 with performance approximating a Yamaha PW-SE gravel bike that I have. Unfortunately the TSDZ2 adds about 7#plus battery weight of 5-9# depending...

I found the stock Qiroll two button actuator difficult to use while wearing gloves, the old version with a toggle along with a mode button would have been better for me but unfortunately discontinued. A while ago I made an actuator switch with these momentary push buttons. It worked well but...

Any update on the more powerful Qiroll prototype that you are testing 3dxl?

I've used Tannus Armor in both Schwalbe G- one 700x40c at max 70psi and Continental Doublefighter 700x37c at 80psi (max for that tire is 87psi). No problems with either tire blowing off the rim. I've also used larger tubes than recommended without an issue. They are some sort of foam so they...

I gave the Qiroll Mute Plus another test run yesterday on a 19+ mile ride that doesn't have steep grades - total 600 feet elevation gain per Google Maps. The battery wasn't fully charged at the start but all 4 indicator lights were lit, at the end of ride one was lit and another flickering. I...

Strange, their own web page description states 55nm with no mention of 23nm. Maybe a matter of max vs continuous or to meet regulatory requirements. https://www.scott-sports.com/us/en/product/scott-addict-eride-30-bike maybe you'd need to test ride one to see how it works for you.

I think that I saw you quote that torque value before - but from their specs they state 55nm which is substantial boost. At your weight a 10% slope should be a piece of cake with that bike. BTW here is another screaming deal on a '22 model year medium...

There are pictures of carbon bikes with Qiroll installed including one somewhere in this thread. Some people have used what looks like a putty substance between the attachment plates and the carbon tubes, I assume for protection - I'd be cautious to avoid crush damage. The roller can be easily...

One very last post +2, but this time I mean it. Good luck and I hope you end up with what works for you. If you mean too heavy the motor itself adds 5# (minus the weight of your bike's current hub), the 7ah battery <3# - if listed weights are accurate. So if your current bike weighs 18# you...

I don't think it is "fake", it's just the way they made their motor work with a thru axle frame.

One very last post on this thread. OP, post up what you decide to do, if anything. I see the Keyde, laced into a 700c wheel with phone app and no battery, is now on sale for $516.96 and there is an AliExpress $70 discount listed for a total of $446.96. Battery sold separately or choose your...

It sounds like you want a Mahle system and assuming you like your current bike why take a chance on disappointment and regret buying a $1000 - $2000 add on kit when there are better options for a complete bike for not that much of a premium? video worth watching for scenery alone...

If you're adventurous you (OP) can give the Keyde a try - I don't see any reviews of this new(?) thru axle compatible rear hub motor with built in controller, torque and cadence sensing. Looks like an easy and clean installation and would increase the weight of your bike by about 5 pounds, plus...

It's more that I have much experience with the compromises and limitations of conversions. I got into it initially for my wife to try to keep her biking. I live and ride in a very hilly/mountainous area (I live on a mountain). Ridiculous but I have two TSDZ2 mid drives (500w 36v and 750w 48v)...

This is somewhat interesting if it fits your bike and you want to take the chance (I wouldn't): 12mm thru axle 142mm width/OLD, built in controller, cell phone app display/control. Motor weighs ~5 pounds plus whatever 36v battery weight...

Scotts Contessa Addict is a full carbon 26 pound ebike with sophisticated Mahle drive for $2700. There isn't anything remotely comparative to add as a kit to the OP bike.

Unless you want to go with a cheap kit with major limitations (like Qiroll) it doesn't make much practical sense to kit a bike anymore. Really any of the kits have major limitations and compromises. Assuming you have a carbon fork the front motor Swytch kit might not be a good idea. The...
