Even an American needs to lift the e-bike onto a bike carrier of the car. Because Specialized is a global brand with the primary market in the European Union and the United Kingdom.

This one was 20.6% grade. I made it with a 520 W peak power motor twice :)

Not sure how you guys use (or abuse) your e-bikes: Manufactured December 2017, first ride on the 1st of November 2019. Last ride on 18th of October 2022, mileage 14,400 km. The frame and several other components replaced on the lifetime frame warranty, 2nd motor, 17th of January 2023...

Return From The Puławy Trip I felt in Puławy as if I lived in Heaven! A green city (with the city forests bigger than the town itself!) during the most beautiful weather. Perfect food. Extremely nice people. Also, it went perfectly for me on the professional level. If not my daughter I need to...

You have been hijacking Specialized threads for years now in an attempt to sell your sorry contraptions. We all participants of this massive thread love our Vado SL e-bike for good reasons. Now, you take a pedal bike designed and manufactured by someone else, slap the same motor and the battery...

A Knowledge Bike Courier! 'Have you become a bike courier, Stefan?' a witty friend asked me 'Yes I deliver knowledge by bike!' 😊 A May beetle sat on me as I was leaving the training room! 'At the tenth lantern, turn left!" Puławy Rail Trail (Route 2) Route 3 is just fantastic to ride...

I cannot accept the weight. Vado 3 is not an E-MTB, it is a commuter ebike. Full suspension is a heavy overkill. I could ride a Tero (non X).

Exploring cycling routes in Puławy When the chemical plant was under construction in early 1960s, it was separated from the future town by the City Forest. Which gives me a new opportunity to explore the forest paths with my Vado SL here. A @Chargeride-style access path from a shopping...

In Puławy So I took a train to Puławy, a city on the Vistula in Land of Lublin, and my Vado SL is with me :) I'm providing training to an R&D institute here this week; it is nice to ride a bike in this beautiful so green city for work instead of taking a taxi! Many employees of the nearby...

PROBABLY YOU!* (should do it) ———— *) Simple Polish banter 😊

It's good to have a wife ♥️

I wish they were!

28th of 102 (12 DNF) overall race, 5th of 11 e-bikers. All e-bikes but two were e-gravel bikes! Four relatively young men riding gravel e-bikes took the first 4 places. All with the 25 km/h restrictors. 102.5 km, 1,536 m elevation gain. The first e-biker completed in 3 h 48 minutes riding on a...

It has been discussed :) The only noise is the wind whistle :)

YEE HAW! :) Photo by Mateusz Klimek.

It never stops amazing me how many Americans think in the terms of "tablespoons" instead of just using the kitchen scales and giving the recipe in the terms of weight and measurable volume :) The simplest Polish recipe for the moonshine "mash" is 1410 (the year of the grand battle against the...

Garbaruk also makes 110 BCD 5-bolt chainrings. Dave may be right: a bent derailleur hanger?

It Was When The Fight Started... :) My close friend from Suwałki was incidentally flying his drone in Prudziszki at the 7th km of NOT A RACE, saw me in the front, went with recording and... At that moment the domination fight among the top gravel e-bikers started! You can see me in the darker...

It is indeed a chainguard. I asked about your drivetrain. Is the chainring held by 4 or 5 bolts? If you keep the original Praxis chainring (the chainwheel in some countries) then the chain might drop again and again. If you want to solve it for good, give the chainguard up and invest in a...

Who even uses the chainguard... Is your drivetrain a Shimano or SRAM?
