    Bike wont turn on again, Ive started stripping wires

    If you have patience could try searching the EMTB forums as the Levo is such a common machine, loads of them about. Here's where I go: https://www.emtbforums.com/

    Another new TQ motor: hpr40

    Very interesting. Not an engineer but I do get nervous when it's software not mechanical, not when the motor is new, but how the longevity of the system pans out. I guess we'll hear more reports as people buy the bikes.

    Watching the peloton - Professional Road Racing thread 2026

    Great seeing all the doc footage of Merckx near the start; in his swanky rockstar 70s civilian clothes and shades, giving the mechanics a hard time, obsessive about saddle position. And then midst that printers demonstration, tyres of cars being slashed, police with bolt action rifles looking...

    The same if not worse dust will be there on Sunday. It's the skinny tyres that now gets me. Riding at those speeds over those cobbles in that visibility on 20 or 23mm tubulars. And who needs helmets eh?

    Another new TQ motor: hpr40

    Above 25kph, the motor disengages entirely, and all rider-generated power is transferred directly to the rear wheel without drag. The assist cuts cleanly, leaving the bike to behave like an unassisted machine at the speeds where road cycling most often operates. BMC worked very closely with TQ...

    Another new TQ motor: hpr40

    Additional: just read that Bike Rumours review above. It's the approx 20lbs that gets me every time. That and of course the price. Clearly Less really is More!

    Another new TQ motor: hpr40

    Trying to get my head around this - so if the motor is on a low 'eco' setting, power is so low your own pedalling is exceeding the assist and that creates drag? For comparison I'm not feeling that on my SL motor (35nm max) for a couple of factors I'm guessing, because of the steep hills here Eco...

    Show us pictures of where you ride your ebikes!

    I've never seen that side by side bottle cage set up before. Ingenious with a range extender. My Vado SL has bosses under the top tube so I've a cage there, but it always feels a bit weird, the bottle being upside down. Re the weight; I'm guessing the water and RE account for a lot of the...

    Bloody predictive text it's A SUNDAY IN HELL. Not A Sunday Night Hell which sounds a very different film!

    Watching the peloton - Professional Road Racing thread 2026

    So I found a fairly acceptable YT version of the incredible Paris Roubaix documentary "A Sunday night Hell" from 1976. Shot on 16mm by Danish documentary filmmaker Jorgen Leth, it covers the whole race in almost real time, following the riders, team cars, people watching, on the streets, in the...

    New 1500W Avinox Amflows

    In U.K. & EU they'll still be restricted to 25km as standard. Assume it'll be same or at least 20mph in US. It's up to owners to risk derestricting them.

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

    I've found my problem is a traditional bell actually irritates some walkers who glare at me. A cheerful hello works but then again can make some people jump and it's hard to time it right. So for years I've used the Timber bell which sounds like either a constantly tinkling bell that Santa...

    Avinox Day 9th April

    Exactly. With the new Aventon Current of a similar or indeed lower price, that's 2 disrupters making good reliable looking bikes, both with Chinese motors and at a reasonable price. The power isn't of major concern to me, I am on the sidelines, fascinated ever since the original Amflow was...

    New 1500W Avinox Amflows

    Yes. They released both today. The M2 is the cheaper option but still superior to the original Avinox motor.

    Specialized Turbo Vado SL: An Incredible E-Bike (User Club)

    What's that rear adapter for Jeremy? Is it a post mount caliper or something? It's crazy to note that if you went for the GRX 820 Brifter lever you'd be paying $300+ for one! They f*ck you at the (drop bar) drive in!
