There were 512 riders overall but only two e-bikers. The idea you should ride an e-bike on a single battery for 50 miles in steep hills was not convincing to many people :) We will iron this out with the organizers the next time. (The organizers do not understand e-bikes very well).

People who ride Specialized SL e-bikes expect low weight, low assistance, quality, top electronics, a mid-drive motor you can trust, and certainly do not want to perish in a battery fire, having the e-bike frame broken in rough terrain or getting killed because the brakes didn't work. They...

Sudovia: A Hidden Gem of Poland Sudovia Gravel 2024 Let me tell you about a unique area of outstanding natural beauty. You need to see two maps first :) In the big map. Sudovia occupies the farthest northeastern corner of Poland. That's 320 km/200 miles from where I live near Warsaw. Unlike...

9 Wh/km to be precise. This is what you need in the rough terrain and up and down and up hills.

No throttle riders admitted. You would kill yourself on that trail, Gionni :D Ever won the gold in cycling? 5/18/24.

You talking to me? Only 129.7 miles :) https://www.strava.com/activities/9059185831 Smooth asphalt trip only. I "love" getting comments from non-riders such as Johnny The Idiot :D

Exactly two links :)

A bent derailleur hanger and nothing else. Unless you are often wearing out your smallest cassette cog. Riding in the highest assistance and in the smallest cog all the time?

I won't preach anymore. What you can see is an e-bike with a perfect fit to my body. The saddle height, its fore/aft position and the tilt (0 deg) have been thoroughly set by myself through "listening to my own body" and watching the leg power-meter on test rides. Same with the stem, same with...

@mschwett: Please accept my greatest thanks for your input! I have successfully completed the Sudovia E-Sprint race and even completed the category in the first place (two riders in E-Sprint only). I was so glad to take the big Vado for the race! The heavy e-bike was a poor performer on the...

A gravel e-bike has to be able to ride for a long distance and be very lighweight at the same time. It also has to be structurally very strong. You do not know much about cycling disciplines, do you Uma? Yesterday, a new friend of mine completed a gravel race together with me on a hybrid...

The First Ever Official E-Bike Recognition In The Gravel Cycling Racing Of Poland :) Stefan Mikulski (Specialized Vado 6.0) - gold. Darek Ługowski (Kross Trans Hybrid 630 Wh - Shimano STEPS) - silver. The E-Sprint Podium in Szelment, Jeleniewo, Sudovia, Podlachia Voivodeship, Poland :) We...

I have won the e-Sprint race. My only competitor Darek would have won if he didn't lose his pannier, which added 40 track kilometres to his ride! P.S. He was more lucky than anyone could think, an incredible story! He won silver :) With non alcoholic beer I got on the finish line. Full...

It is like a small hotel on a farm 😊 With my mentor Michał Bors, 6th in Ultra 415 km race. Group 14, 100 mile Classic Race.

Current Vado does have a suspension seat-post 😊

No, it was introduced by Americans. The British setup is just like in the motorcycle.

In Sudovia No pictures as the network coverage here at the agrotouristic pension in Szurpiły, Sudovian Hills is rather weak. I didn't expect such an outstanding natural beauty in this farthest northeastern corner of Poland (Suwalki Gap). Very steep hills with cows on the pasture. Gorgeous...

Please explain what is dangerous in my information. Your "MTB singletrack vice" again? I hope all brakes in your car engage at the same time.

I would have ridden your Trek 520 and returned on the Specialized e-bike 😃

Ya, if it weighs 100 pounds then maybe. Of course on the throtle only.
