LOL, that would indeed make a great YouTube clip..

Also, pretty pricey imo. Did a quick build on the website, which came to 1500.00 US. I paid 1500.00 Cnd for the Tongsheng mid drive kit and a great battery from Biktrix, which is far more powerful and longer range. This is a really nice light weight solution if a person needs it though. But...

Interesting. I checked out there site. States 25km/h top speed. No 32km/h option?

I'd also go with the Tern GSD, it's a very well thought out and built bike (from looking at specs - I've never ridden it). My wife and I have a Yuba Mundo with a Tongsheng mid drive kit on it, which we are enjoying. But if we were buying new, it would likely be the Tern GSD. The Yuba Spicy...

Interesting, thanks for the link Sonoboy. For myself personally, I don't think I want to have to use my phone as the display on my bike - but that's just me.

No kidding! I read the article, and they didn't mention anything about pedalics being legal / ok. I read it as all ebikes were illegal in NYC.

I'll agree with that. I don't think there is really much "R&D" to do for a lot of these ebikes as well. The motors from Bosch, Yamaha, Brose are cookie cutter just put into your bike geometry. Even drive chain stuff is pick from existing product. Stromer is really over the top (even with...

As for keeping an ebike clean. I wash mine just like an ordinary bicycle, just with the battery removed. No pressure washer! (Not even on a regular bicycle). Once the bike is is clean and rinsed, I wipe it down with a microfiber cloth and put it away to dry completely before relubing the...

Here is a pretty good read on chain lubes. http://www.velonews.com/2017/09/bikes-and-tech/the-who-what-why-of-chain-lubes_448772 I use Squirts, which they don't talk about here. I really like it. It's easy to keep clean, doesn't require de-greasing, lubes well. I'd be interested in trying...

I put this on a Yuba Mundo. It's awesome. https://biktrix.ca/collections/conversion-kits/products/tongsheng-tsdz2-torque-sensored-diy-ebike-mid-motor?variant=45059628051

Oh I'm not saying Bosch shouldn't bring the Nyon over as an option, they absolutely should. The purion has it's place though, it's a perfectly fine display for lower end ebikes. I might sway from Bosch on my next bike though, they are so very restrictive I find it a little over the top.

I'm all about ebikes, especially for commuting. But I have a hard time taking those eMTB races serious. What's next, tour de france on ebikes? Actually nevermind, probably will come to that.. your right.

Holy crap! Well done!

I love ebikes :)

Oh I hear ya, but here's the thing. That Shimano Di2 was designed to provide riders with the optimum gear combination between front and rear derailleurs, and to shift quickly obviously - great for competitive cyclists. ebikes are usually a 1 x system.

Yes, but I would suspect it's because they maybe couldn't be bothered? Those electronic shifting sets are hugely expensive, and haven't really gotten much traction outside of competitive road cycling. I'd be far more interested in that new Continental motor with the integrated automatic...

I haven't seen any. I have a Bosch powered bike, and I don't trust the shift detection. I always ease off when shifting. But I can see why it would be a requirement for the electronic shifting.

Good points! I think this is one of those scenarios where, if you got ticketed, you would need to make those arguments in court, which could very well end up resulting in laws getting changed / updated. That's how it happened up here in Canada.. There was a case out East where some ebike...

Must admit, can't help but want one.

^ A power washer? As in a pressure washer? Yikes.
