I found seat height recommendations a little conservative on the Spec site, but generally good. Prior the seats were higher.

I pedal my Como quite a bit without assist. Find no problems, it is a heavy bike with fat heavy tires, so take that into consideration. Definitely takes more than a lighter bike with narrow tires. 25% assist I found useful to emulate normal bike action. I found the front rack on the Como...

welcome from Lawrence.

This is what happens when you don’t buy Spec.

Same reason people run red lights.

And what is that standard?

Where's the standard to rate these motors? Spec can come up with however they want to rate it, at the axle, chainring, pedals?

Stilts. Keeps me away from the snakes.

For the guys test riding, Spec on their website has an input to find seat post length, usually associated with individual bikes and I find the output to be the same no matter the bike. My 33" inseam says from the center of the bottom bracket to the top of the seat should be in the 31" range, I...

I think I'm tired of the fat tires. I ride my old style steel framed 10 spd with the skinny tires and it is so much easier to pedal. The SL tires need to be converted to the Como and Vado platform. And the Haul ST looks to be on sale.

Here's my hauler setup on the Como. The bags are Bushwacker USA. Have hauled some pretty good loads mostly from the grocery store and they are reinforced by me to handle that, from the manufacturer they are kind of delicate. The Burley cart was also reinforced by me with some aluminum plates...

One thing I avoid now is anything with an air shock, unless I am convinced of the durability and lack of required attention, and availability of replacement parts.

Or the handlebars not straight.

I ride mine all the time without assist. One of the benefits of Spec. Low assist set at 25% which works well also. I installed 36t chain ring on my vado and como and they have plenty of power, kind of like a Tero without suspension. Another bene of Spec, change the chain ring.

I would first change to the largest rotor you can fit and try that. You may not need to change anything. I have 200s on both my ebikes and love them. When I change to the conventional bike with 160mm rotors, there is a big difference. All hydraulic.

Self steering is real nice when going downwind and you grab your windbreaker and pull it up over your head and use it as a sail!

I do. Just not as stable as something with more caster.

Not an ebike, and couldn't find the thread, someone was asking about riding with no hands and I was trying to explain the geometry. This pic is of a bike from the 70s. Note the front fork and the amount of distance the axle is ahead of the head stock bearings. With a setup like this you could...

Go to their website, they have a Q & A that will tell you bike size and saddle height.

The suspension posts sometimes move the seat back, depending on the articulation type.
