Arithmetics is a very small subset of mathematics.

Besides... Ban me EBR if you like but I've always hated greedy Dutch businessmen. I have never been attracted to the brands owned by the Accel Group. As one past EBR member put it "Haibike is the Volkswagen of e-bikes" :) The only brand I am even more disgusted with is Cube. Don't get me wrong...

It is programmed for the stronger low end. I think the maximum power of both motors could be the same. I own an 85 Nm Vado 6.0 (Brose TF) and owned an 85 Nm Giant Trance E+ with a Yamaha motor. Indeed, you could do a wheelie on the Yamaha but the Trance was a way slower on a normal ride than...

Do you intend to pay several thousand dollar for a new e-bike instead? I had owned as many as three Gen 1 batteries. The original one failed, and ended up at the Dangerous Material Collection Point (we have something as PSZoK in Poland). I spent the full price for a new Gen 1 battery. My Vado...

How much per a litre of Cpt. Morgan where you live? :) I've heard stories about the prohibition in Southern Ireland. Pubs never allow more than 4.3% ABV beer there. For this reason, Guinness Draught is 4.2%. Most shops offer nothing stronger than wine. Strong liquor means exorbitant prices in...

A Rare View (The Highest Mountain Pass in Ireland!) It turned out the Priest's Leap we climbed on one of most difficult car rides in me life has paid off! See the Bantry Bay from the 463 m a.s.l. pass that divides Cork from Kerry. The little strip down in the valley is the road we had already...

No no. In English, he is precisely a "first cousin", a son of my Mother's sister. We call such a relative a "paternal/maternal brother" in Central Poland (especially people of the older generation say that). For instance, my first cousin Jacek as well as his brother Piotr are sons of my Dad's...

A Brother Lost & Found My first cousin (a.k.a. maternal brother) Zbyszek has found me after many years via Facebook! He lives in Cork Town, Ireland! I'm going to pay him and his wife a visit still this August! He will take me to Kerry with his car and I intend to hire an e-bike in either...

If you ever fancy biking in Ireland... Fly to Kerry. The car routes are also cycling ones. Irish drivers are careful and respectful. I could see many cyclists and e-bikers; for instance those climbing the Conor's Pass or merrily descending from Moll's Gap towards Killarney with astonishing...

Thank you for this useful information!

I could not stop laughing when I spotted that street name on my Wahoo in Killarney, Kerry, Ireland :)

Watch it to the end! This video is illegal :) High audio quality, please respect and listen in good headphones! Probably the same Cpt. Morgan as I :D I absolutely appreciate your merry banter, English friend!

The 32T looks ridiculous, innit :) I chose it for a constant cadence in the five top gears, not for anything else :) The picture above was taken when I had 11 speeds. Then I converted the thing to 12s, Shimano Di2 XTR. @rochrunner: to get the 12 speed, you need to install a SRAM xD freehub. Is...

The Long Return We flew with Ryanair from Kerry Airport KIR to London Stansted STN first. We had a group of drunk elder people (I presume English) on the flight and hated them! How can an uncle speak for hours and get giggles of the group all the time?! I regret we didn't meet any turbulence...

No, I was talking to @rochrunner (we know each other from Strava) 😊 Thank you for your input! I started replacing Vado 6.0 and Vado SL 4.0 chainrings early during my ownership for reasons such as high and constant cadence, the climbing capability or riding in rough terrain. I've standardised on...

Doug, I know everything about replacing chainrings on Vados but am almost sure yours is 12-speed compatible 😊

Two time world champion in Irish step dancing. I made this GIF myself! 😊 At the Celtic Steps show, Killarney Racecourse.

110 BCD 5 bolt if it were a road bike. It is a standard 104 BCD, 4 bolt for Vado SL Gen 1. The question was whether a 11-speed chainring could be used for a 12-speed chain... @Allan47.7339? Doug, I know 12-speed chainrings fit 11 and 10-speed chains. Not sure what chainring is on your SL. Could...

Leaving the Emerald Island on Thursday, leaving England on Friday 😊
