    Abus vs. Pewag Security Chain

    The chain is 10 ft long. I wanted it that length for wrapping around a large column in my patio and a couple of bikes. I'd rate this at too heavy for a daily carry. YMMV at smaller lengths.

    How many bike shops near you remain out of stock on bikes or ebikes ?

    SummitBicycles which is a Trek exclusive bike shop with several locations in my area has a recorded message playing each time you call them that says due to increased demand there's little to no inventory of bikes under $2000.

    Abus vs. Pewag Security Chain

    Got the 12mm Pewag today and gosh is it heavy! The Abus Granit is quite a heavy weight too. This combo isn’t for carrying around. Feels really secure.

    Nevo GT or Nevo 3

    This was for the wife and she really had no complaints with the Gen2 motor so we went with the floor model 😁

    Abus vs. Pewag Security Chain

    I’m going to pick up the 12mm Pewag chain along with an Abus 37RK/70 padlock for securing my bike in my apartment patio. Will post back on perceived quality once I get them.

    New Bulls Iconic evo tr1 speed

    I just purchased a Bulls Copperhead AM 3 and LBS confirmed they (LBS) are applying the 85 Nm update. I think that would mean the update has been cleared form both Bulls and Bosch.

    Help with our first ebikes

    We pulled the trigger on our first ebikes - Copperhead AM 3 for me and the Nevo GT enviolo for my wife. She decided that she didn't like feel of derailleurs after all :p. Not yet in our possession - but soon 🤞. Thanks for the help everyone. Hopefully you'll see a post with our new bikes on the...

    Help with our first ebikes

    I need help narrowing down to one of these bikes for myself: 1) Bulls Copperhead Evo AM4 2) Bulls E-Stream AM4 3) Bulls E-Stream 45 AM (class 3) I've tested the Copperhead and E-Stream Class 1. 0 testing on the Brose TF or a class 3. Apart from the motors I can't tell the difference in the...

    If still available we'll test ride it.

    Bulls?

    @Stefan Mikes so no concerns with the Brose motor reliability then? Or is it just because that is the only Class 3 FS they offer?

    Nevo GT or Nevo 3

    LBS has a floor Nevo GT with the Gen2 Bosch CX for $600 off. This is with the Enviolo hub. Similarly optioned Nevo3 costs $1243 more. Apart from the new Gen4 Bosch CX, are there other reasons to prefer the Nevo 3 over the Nevo GT? If no other reasons is the Gen4 motor worth that price bump?

    Bulls?

    Gosh I didn't think it would limit a display unit upgrade :(. One more thing to worry about while choosing. Did you consider the Brose offerings at all? The E-stream AM 3/4 come with 750 Wh batteries. I know the output from the Brose is a bit more so maybe it doesn't mean much - but I'm still...

    Bulls?

    It was on my broader list of bikes to checkout. What made me interested was the all rounder nature as you mention: FS, class 3. I like how Bulls refers to it as an "eSUV" :D. Apart from the fact it's not yet out, I found the E-Stream 45 AM which is a better fit for me. I want something more for...

    Help with our first ebikes

    Yea I probably wouldn't do anything except a derailleur setup for myself. But my wife has 0 experience with gears on a cycle and this CVT definitely helps her. She's open to a derailleur setup (provided it has a numbered indicator) but that would mean ordering one new from R&M Germany - which is...

    Bulls?

    I asked LBS about the new Iconic Evo but there's no firm date I'm told.

    Bulls?

    I thought the same thing @mikemike. Glad to know I'm not alone. Congrats on that Copperhead! I'm looking at one of their eMTB offerings: 1) Copperhead Evo AM3 2) E-stream Evo AM 4 3) E-stream Evo 45 AM. Only thing holding me back is the difficulty swapping out the stem, I want to change the...

    Help with our first ebikes

    Advice needed on the Nevo GT vario vs Culture GT Touring vs Nevo3. Made it out to the LBS with my wife. She tried some low top tube frames, but in the end she is way more comfortable on a step through. The step-throughs we tried out and shortlisted were the Bulls Lacuba Evo Lite and R&M Nevo GT...

    Help with our first ebikes

    Ah interesting. Since the LBS doesn't carry these I think once I'm down to the exact bike I'll need to research handlebars, discuss with the techs at the shop, order one and have them swap it out for me. Was hoping for more choice of swaps at the LBS but oh well - at least their choice of bikes...

    Help with our first ebikes

    Yesterday I rode an ebike for the first time! It was a lot of fun. Got quite a few test rides in. First was a visit to an Giant dealer. I could only ride the bikes around the parking lot. There was a small loose gravel patch in the lot. Trance E+ 3 Felt the motor vibrate a little when my foot...

    👍 For now I prefer going into a shop to buy over BBB - don't mind buying used, but you won't get fitted and you're sizes are limited to what's available on the market at the time.
