The specialized hub motor is technically the faster solution. A specialized dealer can unlock the turbo if it's a 15kph or 20kph version. If your country allows 28mph/45kph as stock, then perhaps it's not as much of a consideration. Something to think about, Bosch mid drives are nice, but the...

Did the link above work for anyone? Let me know.

Really? Is that the default setting it comes with or did you have it adjusted up. How much of a difference does it make?

https://docs.google.com/a/rosscrew.net/file/d/0B3bROJRJdrMoem1Iajl2Rk9UclU/edit?usp=docslist_api OK, you guys will have to tell me if this link works. I couldn't link the IMG strangely. I have sharing turned on...so I have no idea what's happening. Let me know what you guys see. I just...

I'll see to getting pictures tomorrow. Riser stem won't be upgraded till next week. I did another quick night ride after getting the kids to bed, rode 4kms, had a chat with the neighbour lady and parked my wife's car in the garage all within 10 minutes. Hahaha, it was great. So much fun! Took...

Ok, evening update. Between gymnastics for the kids and bedtime, I made a few changes to the bike. In my area, the mirror isn't a help, so it's gone. Removed the 1400 lumen light - as per forum members suggestions :) Removed the body geometry seat - sure wasn't meant for my geometry...sweet...

Annnnd.....it's raining :( sigh.... I'll get some pics posted up as soon as it's sunny enough to get nice ones! Thanks for your patience!

Well, the bike was finished last night, I installed the 1400 lumen light....hopped on and went for a night ride. Only 3kms but with high winds and numb fingers, I went as far as I could. What a blast. Peddling up a steep hill with my carcass and I looking like a hero, sitting and hammering away...

Hope today is the day....I want to "be me, only better", to paraphrase some specialized marketing! ;)

Well, since I'm not exactly a paying customer, some other special orders came in. I'd never stand in the way of a customers bike being built, so it's estimated for tomorrow....you know, unless something else comes up. It's a huge store, so they get busy. But Friday by the latest. My gut tells me...

It's funny, I was just driving the kids to school deep in thought and suddenly it came to me that they are likely the same speed. Rats, I was hoping to make it back here before you ;) Well now, that makes it a bit of a closer race. Do you have a place to try each? As they are both solid...

Courts review did make an interesting argument for the Specialized over the Bosch mid drive...chiefly that it's faster and as you mention, silent. The details in the specialized are beautiful too. Also the linear power delivery of the hub motor is a delicious thing! Anyhow, some food for...

Well, it Arrived today, it will be built by tomorrow. I am curious if the fork will hold up to my weight, it can be aired up to 165psi max. If this doesn't work I'll have one of the guys slap another fork on. Closest I can find is something with 30mm more travel when all the spacers are in. I...

I hear ya, I walked by this bike a 100 times thinking there is no point as it won't haul my carcass...and it was medium. But when I finally took a close look and started seeing the detail, the quality of the components, you realize how beautiful it is. It's very robust and is built for its...

I agree with you, I was parroting the posted specs. My understanding is that the motor in the X more so than the S is the custom one. The magnets are narrower by 20% but this won't correlate to 500w vs 250w In practice, sweet spot cruising speed only differs by about 4-5kph, which isn't much...

I consider it my duty :) - I haven't yet come across any meaningful information about the bike itself in use, or it being used by someone pushing its pretty impressive "published" weight limit. I'll be sure to post pics, give you guys an idea of off pavement performance, and in time speak to...

Hi all! First time poster here. Glad to find an electric specialized forum! So thanks in advance for all of the data mining I'll be able to do here and learn from. Full disclosure, my wife's family owns a massive bike/sporting goods store. Part of the joy of your wife being a part of the...
