Ok, this doesn't have to do with an ebike specifically, but as Cervelo make an ebike now I think it's relevant. Back in 2011 I bought a Cervelo RS and I rode it for over a decade and put over 20k km's on it. I was getting ready to retire it to trainer status when doing an overhaul it was...

After selling the Creo I haven't had an ebike for a while but I've seen the ebike I plan to buy in the future. https://www.cube.eu/uk-en/e-bikes/trekking/city/editor-hybrid Under 40 lbs, with an IGH and Gates carbon belt for really low maintenance. I'll be able to put huge miles on this bike...

I'm excited about this motor. It is still larger and more powerful than I'd want ideally, but I like the fact that the weight has dropped and total system weight is only 4 kgs. A drop bar bike of 30 lbs or less is possible and it would be a pretty powerful bike. I'm hoping more manufacturers...

I've finalized the deal to sell my Creo. It was a nice bike, but it wasn't for me. Here's what I would love to have https://vitusbikes.com/blogs/stories/vitus-venon-evo-wins-bike-of-the-year This bike with a small motor like the TQ which allows a 2X drivetrain. Love the road geometry, for...

I am close to selling my Creo to a friend. He just needs to get approval from his wife. I enjoyed the Creo, but I found I don't like a 1X drivetrain for the road (ok with it for mountain biking) and I don't like the non-standard spacing of the wheels. I'd like to get a nice set of wheels that I...

I got an email from Yamaha saying they'll be coming to Canada at the beginning of April. Their bikes are well priced relative to the competition so this is a welcome move. However, I'm not in the market for a bike now so the timing doesn't really work for me at this point. Hopefully they're...

When I saw the new Trek Domane+ I assumed that they developed it in conjunction with TQ and that they would have an exclusive on the motor for a year, maybe a couple of years. But in time that some other manufacturer would also spec the motor on their bike. Well it happened much faster than I...

I got an email from Trek about the new Fuel EXe - I really like this bike. The motor is smaller and lighter and the total system weight is only 3.9 KG, which I think is pretty good. This might be light enough that I might actually consider an electric mountain bike. I’d also love to see this...

I did see there were some threads about something else that referenced the Mahle X20 but no threads on it. https://mahle-smartbike.com/x20/ I'm quite excited about this system. I suppose most of this forum tend to like higher power motors and bigger batteries, but I prefer lightweight systems...

I enjoyed getting the Creo and riding it when I first got it. But this year I bought an Aethos, which cost slightly less than what I paid for the Creo. For road riding the Aethos is just so much nicer to ride. It doesn't have a motor, but that hasn't been an issue for me and since we have a 32...

My new bike has SRAM Rival eTap AXS and I've put about 600-700 kms on it since I got it. It is the best shifting I've experienced and it's not even close. It's so smooth, silent, no missed shifts - ever. The other thing I really like is the 13 tooth gap between the chainrings, results in a...

Well actually the second, but on Sunday I only got to ride 6 km's and I got a flat and I had gotten cocky with not getting flats so I didn't bring anything with me and had to walk back home. Today I brought what I needed in case I got a flat, and of course I didn't get a flat. But I did have an...

Do I need a new bike, not at all. But I want one. How often do wants and needs line up :) My new bike has really small batteries ................... but that's because they power the derailleurs and shifters. I ordered a bike with the new Rival eTap AXS, so electronic shifting and no motor to...

New Como SL is the latest use of the SL motor in Specialized line of bikes. I wonder if the demand is there. I can see that it's a good application for the Levo and Creo. But I wonder if Como buyers are interested in the lighter weight and willing to take less power as a trade off.

About 11-12 years ago I developed some health issues due to a lack of exercise. Being busy with young children I decided to get an electric bike to ride to work to be time efficient with my exercise. It worked well as I went from about 190-195 lbs (I'm 5'9") down to about the 175-180 lb range...

As temperatures have dipped and I'm not commuting to work these days I've started to ride indoor on the trainer. I have joined Zwift with a number of riding buddies. I'm really enjoying it, though I fear that I might ride my electric bike even less after a winter on Zwift. The video game nature...

If you've put on a bigger chain ring than the stock one, what size and it would be nice to know the brand and specific chain ring. I want to get a larger front ring and wondering what will fit.

I've posted before that I really like the Creo but my two biggest complaints about the bike are the odd spacing for the wheels which makes it a lot harder to buy a second set and the 1X drivetrain. I normally ride with not that much assist so I like to have a nice range of gears. I find the 1X...

It was a great bike for me and I would buy one again if my circumstances dictated it, but it was time to let it go. I have too many bikes in my garage and the Juiced was really a bike for commuting. Given I have been working from home the last 8 months it has seen minimal use. I have only...

Interesting article, ebikes come out looking pretty good. https://www.bikeradar.com/features/cycling-environmental-impact/
