    ebike with the biggest chainring?

    Hi, a lot of bikes these days are advertised as a s-pedelec which can go around 45 km/h. Yet when You look at their chainring You often see numbers like 38T. I find this quite silly to be honest. Even on Specialized Turbo X with 48T chainring You have to pedal really fast to maintains such...

    There is no question in my mind that Spec Turbo X is a better bike than this Merida but it is also out of my budget by a 1000 euro margin. There is of course a possibility that it will be cheaper at the end of a season but I don't know if i want and can wait that long ;) And yes, I would love...

    Yes, but it is not available in Europe so I have to look for the second best thing ;) It is standard 2 year warranty I believe. And Merida is rather big and well know bike company. But ebikes are not their specialization so You never know...

    It does not have to be a rear hub drive. The speed and good, stiff frame is important for me. Some may say that I should buy Grace Easy with 10 cassette option and suspension fork (in Europe You can get one for just 1600 euro) and simply change the tires for more cross like but I am not...

    Yes, this is a nice propositon but this bike has 26" wheels whereas I look for 28" for more stable ride at higher speeds (which this BMW also initially does not offer - You have to do a chip tuning to gain more speed). Easy Motion bikes seems to be the closest rivals to the Turbo X but I am...

    Hi to everyone! It seems to me that Spec Turbo X is a very unique bike that combines road speed, fun and agality with some sort of offroad capabilities. It is everything I need so naturally I would love to buy one. Unfortunately Turbo X is above my budget. So the question is: Do You know any...
