Nice, I like the build choices. So the Soma is effecively a suspension geometry enabled version of the Ogre? I've not had personal experience with the Maguras but I've heard about similar issues (with not enough retraction) in some configurations. So far I've not seen any consensus on what to...

I'm just nodding with the other comments. I'll add a few items with a strong DIY flavour. 1) Common (to the various Hailong/Reention) mounting points so other mounting aids (Grin Triple Bob, etc.) could be used. 2) Further to m@robertson connectivity comments - XT 60/90 and Anderson Powerpole...

Likely. Honeywell is one of the old brand names put up for sale and used by a variety of companies around the world for different uses (and nothing to do with the original Honeywell company). Their ebikes were most likely just a bulk purchase from a big Asian factory and over time they could no...

Perhaps consider a center seat post attached trailer setup? You will likely need to "adapt" the height and length of the attachment bar (lowering it substantially) but if your requirement are not too severe (not too heavy a trailer) then this might work for you. There are unfortunately not that...

Park Tools great video on adjusting V/linear pull brakes. Even after 20+ years of doing it myself I learned a few helpful things from the video.

Stephan, We've had this conversation a number of times and you seem to either not understand or completely ignore the reality. My ebikes are put together by myself from quality components (both the acoustic part and the ebike part) and after 10s of thousands of kms I haven't had a single...

A closed mind is a sad thing. So the designer had never ridden an ebike, so what? The designer of a rocket motor had never been to space, the designer of the first airplane had never flown before either. The world is full of great technology from people without practical experience who just had...

Stephan, Please keep your mind closed and don't bother trying to learn anything new. Besides this new concept doesn't involve a big brand name, computers, or dozens of sensors ... you won't like it. But just to be clear about your statement ... "The regen only works for Direct Drive motors...

When we talk of carrying a bike and in particular an ebike we're generally not talking about transporting it over any sort of distance. Some bikes have been designed to accomodate this ... think cyclecross and many MTBs. Ever wonder why the brake and rear gear cables are often routed on top of...

There were a bunch of bike and early ebike step through frames with just a rounded or oval down tube that didn't hold up well over time (anecdotal). It was clear that the short cross member was indeed added to stiffen and make this frame design last longer. Some of these crossmembers are a...

The "people" of Quebec are not snooty ... any more than the people of the US are snooty, Okies are backward, or any other ridiculous generality. Quebecers are a wide diverse group of people and just like any other region of North America there are ignorant a-holes and really nice people. There...

When I first read that I thought you wanted a reverse twist throttle like Grin now sells for a regen setup (twist the throttle backwards to engage and moderate regen braking). What you've bought is a left handed half twist throttle? (but yes, a reverse twist from a right handed model).

No, it's not the law. As a consumer you can call it anything you want and order in any language you want (but if you stray from French or English you might not be understood ... ;) ). It's the vendor that has to place French above English when initially greeting customers or advertising (but not...

🍿🍿 I'm all set.

🍿🍿 :) I've been watching this thread and getting a good chuckle out of many of the comments as well as Ride1Up's marketing statements. The idea that a power (wattage/amps whatever) based cadence sensed PAS setup is somehow new is a bit humorous. This has been the default how a Grin Cycle...

If I was seriously considering an eTandem I'd consider modifying a good quality and carefully sized Tandem (in other words pick the right bike and then add the e capability). I'd look seriously at using the new Grin V3 All Axis hub motor, a Superharness and a minimal display. With the built in...

scOOter, I don't think you're making Ravi any happier. :mad:

Ya, with all those lightning bolts from the cloud being directed your way. :)

Winona ... in the "banana belt" of Minnesnowta. :cool: Here in the "far" north east we've got very little snow cover (less than a foot). Right now it's cold (well below freezing plus the wind) but the next few prospects for moisture are coming as rain ... in February! It is indeed a strange...
