    Unhappy with Velotric Fold 1

    I think @harryS take is pretty much spot on. Velotric says the battery is 608wh. Their stated max range of 55 miles would be about 11 wh/mi which is not unreasonable with the rider contributing a decent amount. The OP said he was at 2 bars at the end of his ride and if we assume that is out...

    Specialized Turbo Vado SL: An Incredible E-Bike (User Club)

    The weather forecast here in Seattle a week or so ago was 'partly dry'. Oh, and for the record been rhymes with the number ten and not the metal tin. Though most Americans pronounce it the other way...

    Great race! This might be the best version of Pidcock I've seen. He's much better as a one day racer than a GC almost-contender. Impressive ride by Wout - having to wait for a new bike at the crash and still working his 31 year old self back into almost contention. He said in an...

    Bike RADAR - for other bikes

    I'm not sure that your GPS would have the programming to display the alerts regardless of whether it can pair via ANT+. Another option would be to pair with the phone in your pocket and send audible alerts/all clear to a bone conduction or open ear earbud. Lezyne also has a radar system with a...

    It's too bad you aren't qualified to ride in the rally 😉 Rule III.8a (RIDE100 and eRIDE100: In the eRIDE100 category, all riders must LOVE BOSCH in order to be eligible to participate.

    Woke up early at 5am so watched the last stage of Tirreno-Adriatico. It was supposed to be a sprinter's stage and del Toro pretty much had the GC locked up, so it should have been just a boring stage. Far from it, lots of action and oddities! - MvDP got bored and went off the front causing...

    Gazelle Ultimate C380 Plus Front Axle size

    Court always included specs in his EBR reviews from that time period. 15mm thru axle. Stomp described removing it pretty well - sometimes it binds and you have to push it back in then try again. When it does come out you'll wonder why it seemed difficult in the first place.

    Rad has new owner

    More details here, where they correctly refer to it as US assembly rather than manufacturing. The new process should save on tariffs, offsetting the higher labor costs, but more importantly it essentially allows them to pay as they sell product instead of paying tariffs up front on stuff that...

    Can 36v be better than 48?

    ?? How does that work? Maybe your definition of direct drive hub is different than what I'm used to seeing... The Radmission uses a geared hub, the current Abound uses a geared hub and I don't think a cargo eBike would make much sense with a direct drive hub...

    Winter Sucks

    You're Polish, so I assume you mean pickled eggs. Here in America we only eat those in dive bars after you've had enough Coors Light to sufficiently dull the senses.

    All this talk about throttles as a backup for component failure reminds me that my daughter's bike stopped working one day and she had to pedal the heavy thing home from school along with her 30lb backpack. Turned out the failure was the throttle itself. Once I disconnected it, the bike had...

    The bib shorts that are almost, but not actually, white really confuse me. As does the multiple shades of orange that look like like 1 color block unless you see an up close or still view of the rider. Why use shades with so little contrast?

    Moustache weekend dual suspension dual battery suitable for touring?

    That Weekender is very nicely equipped, but I too would be concerned about getting a XL given your height would seem to fit nicely into a L size frame. Of course a 2021 bike would function just as well today as it did in 2021, you just don't have access to updates or upgrades since the old...

    Gazelle Active line plus motor , Intuvita controller, intermittent motor drop out

    Yes, clean the contacts between the Intuvia and its mount. Sometimes you also have to adjust the cables going into the mount to ensure the contact points are making good contact. The Intuvia in particular has a rep of being sensitive to dirty contacts or even the contacts wearing if you...
