    Hello from a robotics enthusiast / Exploring the "smart" side of E-Bikes

    I think your interest are better suited for a site like https://endless-sphere.com/sphere/ Here people talk endlessly about chain lube and derailleurs 🙃

    Specialized drop prices in North America for Levo range. Permanent drop due to competitive market.

    It's always a balance. If they push the dealers too hard, they can always drop the brand. I worked for a large electrical contractor and the VP would come to every job and say something to the affect... "c'mon guys we need a push, we're losing money on this one." I was under the impression that...

    Specialized drop prices in North America for Levo range. Permanent drop due to competitive market.

    Well I did say almost always. 🙃 But I think this will wake up the overpriced brands to reality. They've been milking customers long enough.

    Competition is almost always good for the consumer. And I can't wait to hear the argument/rationale from the Specialized snobs 🙃

    What's NOT said about Suntour NCX seatpost

    I'm riding a different bike then when this was originally posted and ended up giving this solution a try. Though it did move the seat position a bit forward reducing reach, I definitely noticed a difference in performance. The post no longer handled the smaller bumps as well as the factory...

    Not the answer to your question, but. . . The Rohloff is rated at 130Nm I've been using a pair with a 1000w/160Nm mid drive without issue for almost 4 years now. 4k on one, 6k on the other.

    Parent Mode

    When I was an child everything we had, had Parent Mode. If it was used to cause trouble of any kind it was taken away. If we caused trouble in a way that disrespected others.. it came with an additional ass_kicking. So for the most part... you always avoided triggering Parent Mode ymmv

    So then you do understand that you are paying for two bikes up and not for quality. Common Knowledge: Extended warranties are generally not worth the cost for most people, as they are priced to ensure providers make a profit, and the average repair cost is often less than the premium. A...

    Need NEW conversion motor for Kalkoff E-bike

    Without seeing the battery it's hard to say.. A repack with quality cells might be the easiest as you won't have to worry about physical fit and wiring connections. You might be able to save a few dollars by buying an off the shelf battery, but that'll take a little research and an understanding...

    Lady cyclist killed in Davis involving juvenile on ebike...on the bike path.

    Yes... but enforcement can only take place after an infraction. I understand wanting to give a warning as I drove illegal minibikes as a kid. But it was a different time and my friends and I did all possible to stay off the radar. In this case they lied when questioned so catching them in or...

    Near impossible from the start... But in this case, past performance was a clear indicator of future loss.
