Around 30,000 kms, say 18,000 miles before I traded up to a new model. I was getting about 3-5,000 kms out of the chains and jockey wheels and double that with the cassettes depending on the time of the year. Winter is harder on consumables (including brake pads) as the road grit and road salt...

The batteries (nominal 48 Volt for the D500 Ohm/Bionx setup) are rated in cycles which can be viewed in the Bionx interface. When you get to ~ 500 cycles you're getting up to the end of life of the battery. Average kms per cycle is about 80 or 50 miles, so the 40,000 kms pretty well did one...

After 3 weeks and more than 1,000 kms on the new Ohm mid motor based ebike, I'm blown away with the efficiency improvement with the Shimano STEPs system in the range of 25-30% over the Bionx D-500 based hub motor At an average of over 22 kms/hour on my hilly commute I'm getting over 125 km...

I've got the Quest and just upgrading to the 6000 display (with bluetooth). The 8000 display (also with bluetooth for the Shimano apps) I had to test out is likely great for trails/mountain biking, but the 6000 has more data at a glance for the riding I do. Really like no special wiring or...

As the subject states, I'm now a convert. I never thought I would say this after almost 4 years of riding the best hub motor in the industry. I'm just approaching 3 weeks and 1,000 kms on Ohm's new mid motor model based on Shimano STePS and I'm more than impressed. I had tried mid motors...

Awesome, thank you Court for the update, and a high five to all the team at Ohm! I've been riding my Ohm for going on 5 years now typically averaging around 15,000 kms a year and can attest to the bike's performance, and Ohm's commitment and support, -it's simply, over the top. Even over...

I just picked up one of the Busch & Müller 701 Mirrors, replacing 1 year old "mirrcyle" mirror which was flopping around like a dead fish or if tightened too tight to adjust. It looks and functions very well, wider view, easy to adjust, and it folds forward or backwards so when I navigate...

I'm trying to be proactive and avoid getting wacked again by a truck mirror or worse and this looks like a potential solution, but have not seen any reviews or comments on practicality of these. Has anyone experience with clearance-safety flags (other than the vertical ones on recumbent bikes...

Still getting great support with my Ohm. Hope that the technology survives, as this motor IMHO is the best I have ridden. The support the larger format motor has avoids the issues with spoke stress that smaller diameter motors have.

Not sure Ian, you'd have to try and see if they fit. I've not see any commuter style bike with any air deflector and not sure if the geometry of the bike will fit this but worth a try for this length of ride....

That was combined on the old and new (over a period of 3 years). My commute is ~ 40+ km a day and weekends I'd put on another 120+ with a volunteer activity, shopping and pleasure, so was averaging just over 330+ a week so it didn't really take much to get there, and all in all enjoyed every...

Only addition was the bag on the back and a pump, nothing else needed. Here's the new bike with my 40,000 km "certificate" from last year. Still going strong.

Understood Jeff. I'm simply stating what my performance (typical) is, if the user wishes to convert or not that is up to them. No need to state the obvious.

Ok that's just as the crow flies but still a milestone. I passed the 40,000 km mark a couple of weeks ago, thankfully before the snow and ice arrived which has lessened the riding days. I couldn't not ride to work this morning, it was raining but was 3 above (C) so just a regular commute...

550 Wh standard battery. Typically I get 70-80 km in town averaging 22-23 km but on trips range and average km generally increase unless of course I get a headwind.

Another month or so and I'll have done the equivalent of the circumference of the Earth in just about bang on 3 years on my Ohm(s). I say (s) as I did upgrade to the 2017 model this spring. I would have got there a bit faster but had a wee fight with a curb and sidewalk a couple of months...

The range you will get at 28 Km per hour depends on the terrain as well as the wind resistance and direction. I've averaged rides at 23-25 km per hour with over 100 km distance. In the end the variables are considerable. Ya might consider another mode of travel if you need to get there that...

I looked at them but the one size for the model I was looking at wouldn't work for someone 6'4" for a commuter bike so passed on trying one. I did have two geared hub based bikes prior to going Ohm. Stripped the gears on one after 10,000 Kms, and had to really watch and tweak the spokes on...

Shaun, See if you can find an Ohm dealer and try one out. I've sure been happy with mine after 2 other manufacturers that I was not happy with.

I wouldn't go for it unless you are a very casual rider and don't mind throwing you money away. If you can not depend on the dealer you purchase from don't buy it no matter how much you "save".
