    Which to pick?

    Wasn't the OP asking about the Nomad?

    Another new TQ motor: hpr40

    Totally agree. But riding my Vado SL 1 hard in my custom SPORT assist mode (55/70) definitely burns more Wh/mi than riding equally hard in my custom ECO (35/45). In exchange, I go much faster in the SPORT case. Then when the carrot effect kicks in, I pedal even harder. Quite exhilarating when...

    Reasonable approach. A device that knows my mind before I do! Could come in very handy. Also terrifying.

    Another new TQ motor: hpr40

    Curious, how does the model take variations in rider mood and assist choices into account? For example, the rolling 5 mi Coast Highway run from home to Carlsbad Village has few interruptions. One day I might ride it in a mix of ECO and OFF at a relatively slow pace, enjoying the ocean views at...

    Another new TQ motor: hpr40

    Strong work! This is an important step for model validation, cuz you know how much battery was actually used over a variety of past rides. Once your model's matching reality reasonably well on a big enough GPX database of known rides, you'll have range predictions you can reasonably rely upon...

    Here's one way to upload a single photo you've taken into a forum post in progress. Just confirmed it on my Samsung S25 Ultra. Step 1. Open Gallery app, go to Camera folder, select photo to upload. Step 2. Swipe up on photo to see file size in MB. Hit back to close photo info panel. If under...

    We can help with that if you like. Details will vary by phone, but basically you'll be (1) taking the photo, (2) reducing a copy to under 2.0 MB (megabyte) file size, and (3) uploading that copy into your post. None of this is hard, but it takes a little know-how. What's your phone make and...

    Show us pictures of where you ride your ebikes!

    Riding your bike to hang at the hobby shop. Didn't get much better than that back then.

    It's disturbing how much we think alike. Must be pretty disturbing to you, too. ;^}

    What’s your preferred cadence?

    My knees require a pretty high cadence. Just can't spin that fast in heels.

    That final quote's worth repeating... Interviewer: You finished absolutely empty. MVDP: We have a saying in Dutch, that it has to come from your toes. I don't know where this came from, but it wasn't from my toes. I don't know where it came from.

    Sounds like a beautiful trip to places I know nothing about! We'd love to see some photos. You probably know about the file size limit (under 2 MB).

    Neighbor DB and I did a 24 mi coast ride north to Oceanside and back today. Every beach we passed was packed on this sunny and unusually warm Sunday at the height of tourist season. Warned DB that I'd have a bad case of the zoomies, as we were leaving right after watching the final stage of the...

    OMG! I've only been following pro racing in earnest for 3+ years now. Does it get much better than that finish? Than that Grand Tour?

    The next Grand Tour, the Vuelta de Espana, starts in 4 weeks (8/22 with US streaming by Peacock). Sad to see this one come to an end today, but it'll be nice to realign my sleep pattern with my own (Pacific) time zone for a while.

    How to change turbo mode to be as smooth as ECO

    I appreciate updates like this, and I'm sure most other members do as well. When you put time and effort into helping someone, it's nice to know how it turned out — especially if there's a learning opportunity involved. Even nicer to hear how much you're enjoying your Gazelle now after such a...

    Totally captivating this time — sorry it's almost over. Eager to see what Pedersen has in mind for tomorrow.

    Strip new chain grease before lubing with Rock N Roll Gold?

    Go to, mainly because that's my mechanic's preference.
