Is it still an option? It is a 2024 model. Shimano EP8 motor. https://www.bikesheduk.com/product/189906/giant-revolt-e-1/option/ https://www.westbrookcycles.co.uk/giant_revolt_e__1_electric_gravel_bike_-_phantom_green_2024-33530...

Talking about strange encounters, let me tell you a story from another league. I had a happy time riding with an experienced road/gravel cyclist by name of Staszek. He taught me so much! Wonderful routes in our larger area, details on bike technology, and he even managed to teach me how to...

13.9 kg. I easily carry a 17 kg Vado SL upstairs (3 flights). Range Extenders. It would be a way worse if you had to store the e-bike in an unheated place.

You could watch the video from @Yako though. He says you possibly could replace the Orbea Denna wheels with yours (hopefully they would match?) Or, just put more skinny slick tyres on the existing wheels. Nowadays, 32-33 mm for a road bike is OK. Not sure how it is with the battery on Denna...

The problem is, it is not a British company. Ras, wait... are you buying a Dolan? Because it is so easy for you to advice a purchase to others but you never take a risk yourself? :)

Central Communication Port (CPK): Cycle Sailing Once a year, with predicted strong wind, I take a train and ride far into the headwind. The ride back home with the tailwind is fast and enjoyable! Many roadies did the same, only they were beating their Personal Records or taking KOMs on asphalt...

The issue with a smaller e-bike system manufacturer is they often go bust. Remember Fazua? Once a brand chosen by TREK and many others, now Porsche has dumped them. What is the local presence of Polini in the UK? While you cannot lose with Shimano, and especially Bosch.

I wouldn't take any risk related to an unknown e-bike system. There were many e-bike motor brands who didn't stand the trial of time. For instance: who will provide the repair in case all goes wrong? Recently, Yako reviewed Orbea Denna (Shimano) and Canyon Grizzle: OnFLy (Bosch). He said Denna...

None of the chinese crap has the Type Approval Compliance document.

It is so sad to hear about your disaster, Rab! It is interesting how differently the motors behave when shot. When my Specialized/Brose motor failed, it was producing a terrible noise only with the power on (and there was an immediate emergency shutdown of the motor). However, the inner clutch...

It is worth checking if the Specialized App is up to date. When I bought my Vado SL (1), I could not connect the e-bike to (then) Mission Control: the photo depicts that very moment. The dealer was confused. Suddenly, I brightened up and just updated the app. (June 23rd, 2021)

The same word means "a good luck" in Polish (it's rather obsolete nowadays). In 1990s, I drove my car through the city of Łódź with an Australian in the passenger seat. We passed a junkyard. It was decorated by a sliced Polski Fiat 126 p, and the name of the junkyard was FART. The Aussie pointed...

I have limited my night rides to short grocery shopping. While riding at night is fun (especially where I live: scarce traffic and a good infrastructure), I lost my appetite for night riding.

P.S. My brother says you may fold the rear seats. Then you can lay your Como inside with no issues whatsoever.

It should fit. You might want to remove the front wheel for the transport though.

Epstein Ocean.

Nice ride, Stomp! You gave me an opportunity to take a look at the area on Google Maps. Funny thing being, the East Harbor is where you'd expect it (with a little pin of Pilgrim Lake), while there was another Pilgrim Lake with Mecca Island in Orleans. Is the 28 suitable for cycling?

Well, Charge, I would say the most of fungi you mentioned are not what we pick or eat in Poland :) Very young Puffball is edible but... For your education, here are the guaranteed safe and tasty fungi collected in our woods, from the most expensive down to the cheapest: Boletus edulis...

Your comment is from someone raised in a country with no fungi picking tradition :) When I was a young boy (but could already read), my Mum gave me a small but thick book named "Forest Mushroom Atlas". The book was split into three parts: Edible, Non-edible, and Poisonous. Each page had a...

Some of you might know the boletus as penny bun or porcino. Fungi picking is very popular in Germany, Italy, France and Poland. (The Baltics surely know their wild mushroom as well!)
