What I mean is that with less weight, it is easier to keep up with fast riders since I have less weight to push. That's my common-man explanation... Does that make any sense? lol...

Another way to increase the speed of your eBike is to shed some bike weight. For instance, replacing my stock aluminum wheels, handlebar, and seat with carbon would probably cut a pound or two and make a noticeable impact on speed. Expensive though. I have a very good gravel bike that...

Yah, 29 kph is still slow. Here in the US, it's 32 kph. And even then, most good peletons (at least here in SoCal) average around 32 to 35 and if they decide to speed up, you will get dropped unless you push yourself; and the extra 4.5 kg of weight on an eBike does not help. Ironically, it's...

Nice! Let me know how it works out for you. What eBike are you riding? I'm riding a Pina Dyodo.

Sorry, it's about $218 USD - my math is off. Here's the link: https://www.sccarbonrepairs.com/product-page/ebikemotion-x35-dongle When installing you have to pull out the cable and after attaching it, you have to use a tie-strap to keep the wire as flush with the bike as possible. Good luck!

Your Orbea Gain M20i looks really nice. Makes me a bit jealous as my Pinarello Dyodo Road has SRAM Force 22 which I don't like and would have paid more to get Ultegra Di2. For me, the Dyodo seems a bit quieter from the video and I don't notice any drag whether the hub motor is on or off. I...

The Orbea Gain models give the Pinarello Dyodo competition and even offer improvements: integrated front and rear lights; and Shimano Di2 options. From https://urbanbike.news/en/evolution-of-the-successful-ebikemotion-drive-mahle-x35/: "And now there’s a small update called X35+, which is...

So I purchased one from AU for around $230 usd. After a few rides, it has an unexpected benefit for me. It does increase the max. speed from 20 mph to around 22 or 23 which is not bad. But it also smooths out the on/off jolting that I was getting at around the max speed of 20 mph - which was...

"It's a fantastic buy..." LOL...

Just went on three rides so far with the Dyodo Road. So far, I really enjoy it. This is my first eBike. PROS: - relatively light weight for a road eBike @ 28 lbs - similar to the Pinarello Prince geometry - eBikemotion unit is easy to use w/three speeds, color-coded - has the ability to use...

@gentryfunk: any updates on your upgrades? I just got a Dyodo Road myself (thx for taking the time to review yours as it helped me) and I agree, the SRAM Force 22 isn't the best groupset; I'm having shift problems. I think I'm just too used to Shimano's Di2 electronic shifters on my 'regular'...

Just got a Pinarello Dyodo Road in Black (size 46.5) for the following reasons: I'm over 50 and my recovery time is a bit longer than before; I'm going to start cycling to my office (about 7 miles one-way); and it allows me to ride longer and I'm not totally exhausted after a 35 mile ride. The...
