    Anyone have experience with SRAM Eagle Transmission on any Specialized e-bike?

    The turbo levo/sl and kenovo/sl as well as the tero x all have udh. Has anyone put sram transmission on them and can provide an experience report? I am looking at getting a tero X and then putting on an X0 transmission drivetrain. I still don't love chains, but what I don't love about the ones...

    M620 power meter options

    I have an flx blade 2.0 with a bafang ultra m620. I want to get an ant+/bluetooth power meter on it. I tried the garmin xc200 pedal power meters but found them unreliable (possibly due to being over their weight limit) This may be a dumb question, but it’s not clear to me what crank based power...

    Happy wife, Happy Life!

    Well, the wife put her foot down. She and I tried to buy a pair of e-bikes starting a year ago. That did not work out for various reasons. Not going into the story here. The important part is she made it clear that she wants to have a bike this season (especially now that she uses peloton six...

    A quick ride review of the Vado SL 4.0

    I finally took a vado SL for a spin. And, there is a lot to like. Really a lot. But it also definitely isn't the bike for everyone. I saw the spring sale on the vado SL 5.0 and decided this might be the time to spring for a new couples bike (we just got disgustingly cute matching SUV's.... )...

    A not quite newbie experience with the FLX Blade 2.0

    So, here we go again. I am now the proud owner of an FLX Blade 2.0. This in my fourth e-bike since june. Since my thread in the specialized forum was oh so loved, I thought it would be a great idea to start one here. ;) I haven't gotten more than 20 miles on the bike because my battery won't...

    Experience Thread: A noobie getting into a specialized vado 5.0 IGH

    The purpose of this thread is to show an on-going experience of getting into biking from a noobie perspective. Investing in biking is a lot more intense than I had expected. I am kind of an "all-in" guy. So this thread will document that experience as I go. I am open to suggestions, commentary...

    e-bike rollercoaster. What's next?

    At least one of my priority current's is likely being returned (maybe both). However, I still need an e-bike. I *really like* CVT and Belt Drive. And I am considering two routes: 1. A straight up replacement like: Specialized Como/Vado or Gazelle C380+. Maybe VVolt. The thing is, the current...

    Cadence, torque and power, oh my!

    I have a cadence question. But first some background. I finally received my first priority current today (picking up second tomorrow). There is a lot I like about the bike. Brakes are amazing, comfort is good, fun to ride, cvt is *awesome*... etc. However, it feels quite a bit different than the...

    Apps for cycling. Does anyone else find them kind of... lacking?

    As I get ready for this new exciting journey of family e-biking, I have been looking at apps. I started a trial of strava as well as ride with gps. And I have taken quick looks at half a dozen others. As a newly minted family biker, my primary goal is to get the 4 of us from point a to point b...

    Just joined and new to biking...

    I anxiously await for the LBS to build my wife's and my Priority Currents. I spent quite a bit of time lurking and comparing options before we made that decision. Now we are trying to figure out how to haul an eight year old and a two year old on our bike adventures. Also practical stuff like...
