Well, that certainly requires a well controlled environment to come to the right conclusions but is the SL 1.1 motor that loud under a typical riding conditions? During the video, you can hear a car passing by. That's loud! :) Listen to the wind, the shifter click, to the tyre noise...

Having owned a Wahoo ELEMNT Roam v1 then Wahoo ELEMNT Bolt v2 and now Wahoo ELEMNT Roam v2, I have now bought a Garmin EDGE 540. Reasons? GPS Bike Computer E-Bike Compatibility While all Wahoo ELEMNT computers worked perfectly with my Specialized full-power and SL e-bikes (Vado and Vado SL...

My Vado SL 4.0 Gen 1 came with a 10-speed Shimano Deore drivetrain. As there were big jumps between some gears, and I also needed a wide range cassette, I replaced the drivetrain with a 11-speed Shimano M5100 drivetrain with a 11-51T cassette, a new long cage derailleur, and an appropriate...

As the Forum "Search" feature seems to have stopped working, let me create this thread about dropper posts and related matters. For a few for you who might not be even aware what the 'dropper seat-post' (the dropper in short) is for, a short explanation: Mountain bikers need to be able to ride...

As I can see it, my Roam v2 is everything I need.

I've just watched 'Rebel Ridge', a 2024 Netflix action/mystery movie. The movie starts with a scene where Aaron Pierre rides a gravel bike 'worth at least two grands'. I enjoyed watching that movie!

To be able to determine the elevation gain of our ride, we need an altimeter. These are the altimeters that we can use for e-biking: E-bike barometric altimeter (available on some advanced e-bikes) Smartphone altimeter (will work with ride trackers such as Strava, Komoot, RideWithGPS, or a...

As I recollected a Tero X 4.0 demo ride I had a year ago, I could remember it was a very heavy e-bike even for Specialized standards. As I regularly carry my Vado 6.0 (26.4 kg or 58 lbs) upstairs, I have the weight in my muscle memory. If Tero X 4.0 felt so heavy to me, what would its listed...

What's happened to our troll Rome?

When I used to own an e-MTB, I was delighted with the applicatons a dropper seat-post was giving me. It was especially useful while riding downhill or in a rough terrain. With descents, I used to drop the seat so I could move my body weight far rearwards. With the rough terrain, especially...

It is not a post in which I would be preaching or asking for an advice re hydraulic brakes and their components :) Let me tell you about my experiences with different disk brakes and their components. I expect you to be talking about your own experience! When I owned a Giant Trance E+ e-MTB or...

I'm worried. After my return from the race, I put my 'Gray' Vado battery on charging. To my surprise, the charging stopped after some time, and would not restart. No warning LEDs, no message either in the Specialized App or BLEvo. After a long time to lay "on the idle", I inserted the battery...

It looks Decathlon (the large European network of sports stores) has eventually come with a very interesting e-bike. I'm showing the British website, so everyone of you can read it. The e-bike is currently unavailable but I think it finally would appear in the offer. Decathlon's Mid-Drive...

I got an interesting motivational message from Komoot: "You have ridden for 35 weeks in a row! Keep up a good work!" (Or something like that). Well, we are in Week 20th, 2024? When did I restart my regular cycling? What did make my regular cycling stop last year? (The rule of Komoot is a "week"...

Specialized Bicycles went on sales in Europe. There is a sweet offer for a Tero 3.0, it is around US$2,600 including the tax. A friend has asked me whether her husband would benefit from buying the e-bike for their touring trips (she owns a Giant Explore+). I would tell her Tero 3.0 requires...
