Sadly no - only a couple of mm clearance already with the 55mm chain ring and the frame: Is the Rapanui finished at long last? Might ride it tonight - off to the Free Speech Union meeting featuring Lord Sumption from UK now …. (On my R&M of course!)

OK and now here is the test on my Gravelbike with a Rohloff and Gates belt drive with GravelKings SK Plus 700x35 - not super fast tyres and quite wide, so takes a bit of effort to get up to 40kph+ (quite windy today too): So hit 42kph with 96rpm cadence - MUCH more acceptable. So shows that...

oh, so I need to be reducing the circumference to lower the reported speed?

Hi, Many others have discussed the disparity in speed between Bosch headunit speed output vs GPS recorded speed. Solution is to change the wheel circumference as per JV Bulman's post https://forums.electricbikereview.com/threads/disparity-between-kiox-speed-gps.41894/post-518883 My SC2 Bosch...

So I went and test drove a Specialized Vado SL (you'd be happy @Stefan Mikes !!) - it doesn't have the full boost but assist drops out at 45kph - I was able to go on a couple of side roads for a short test ride, and got it over 40kph - lower boost = significantly more effort so heart rate spiked...

Performance Speed Line Gen 4 I bought it in 2020

I’ve got the Intuvia so no cadence / power outputs I’m afraid. Yes was in Turbo mode for max assist to get top speed for this test. Yes HS - the motor never cuts out of boosting, it’s just I run out of gears/resistance on Enviolo. Tire pressure - would have to check but run quite firm.

ok so a short ride today with cadence sensor on - basically needing cadence of around 110rpm to hit over 40km on the Bosch headunit (Garmin usually 1-3kph slower) Couple of screenshots: Unsustainable in my mind - I'm not a featherweight by any means, but whilst weight will make some...

I'll move my cadence sensor off my gravelbike and onto my SC2 and give it a test to see what my cadence is required to exceed 40kph

Thanks @Brendon@OEB - I've explored a smaller hub at back and I believe there's only a 1 tooth smaller option so unlikely to gain me a lot of benefit in the scheme of things. And yes, definitely it's undergeared for high speed in my mind - just not enough resistance to hit and maintain 40km/hr...

Is there anyway we can check the current battery cycles for our bikes or do we need a diagnostic tool for that too? 600 cycles didn’t seem a heap initially but then I realise if I charge my bike 1/week on average and I’ve had it for 3yrs I’m likely only in the 150-200 charge cycles range

yes, I can keep my cadence higher on my rohloff, but I'm just "spinning" and not going fast at all. Having a higher care, thus more power, I'm dropping cadence but my speed is going to increase (although given it will be much harder to maintain, I likely will burn out quicker!) Couple of pics...

In non-electric bikes, absolutely as most people find it harder to push against the increased resistance, even in lower gears. on my road bike going up Hackthorne Road for example (I know you'll know that @peterh_nz) my cadence will drop to 60-75 depending on how strong I'm feeling however my...

One of the challenges with “average cadence” is how inaccurate it is when riding hilly areas - most people’s cadence drops going up hills (more experienced riders know to try maintain cadence and go to lower gears, but on steepest hills sometimes you’re IN the lowest gear and can’t get your...

Hey brains trust. I’ve an SC2 high speed with Enviolo - Many threads here around how it’s under geared for high speed and cadence too high to maintain 40kph or above. Got me thinking - would it be possible to replace Enviolo with standard Rohloff hub and manual shifter ? I’m not talking about...

I have the basic Intuvia not smart at all, anything smart I’d want I’d get from from my Garmin. My wife’s Kiox 300 on her MC Mixte Smart System I think is worse from a UX - as others have said, the reliance on phone for “smarts” the $hit implementation of motor immobiliser, the clunky way to...

I'd never rely on the Bosch display for this stuff - mapping, health data (heart rate etc) I'd use my Garmin Edge for. The only issue is Bosch won't share Power data to third party apps whcih sucks - my Brose on Specialised eMTB shares all this to my Garmin Fenix. Rather than invent half baked...

I do love the Brose on my eMTB Turbo Levo Comp Alloy - it's a beast of a motor and SO quiet:

thanks mate - I did read that, although I had just woken up when I did. I interpreted it as for those markets that have very strong compliance regulations (like Germany) the motors are hardcoded for max speed, but in other markets it's a firmware setting for HS/non-HS. My parents' aging...

yes, I know of some hardware dongles that do it, but I presume Bosch may have some firmware options as well - it would make sense for them to build their motors all the same and then just limit them via software - Similar to Microsoft Windows. Build one version of the OS and then just turn...
