Stephan, We've had this conversation a number of times and you seem to either not understand or completely ignore the reality. My ebikes are put together by myself from quality components (both the acoustic part and the ebike part) and after 10s of thousands of kms I haven't had a single...

A closed mind is a sad thing. So the designer had never ridden an ebike, so what? The designer of a rocket motor had never been to space, the designer of the first airplane had never flown before either. The world is full of great technology from people without practical experience who just had...

Stephan, Please keep your mind closed and don't bother trying to learn anything new. Besides this new concept doesn't involve a big brand name, computers, or dozens of sensors ... you won't like it. But just to be clear about your statement ... "The regen only works for Direct Drive motors...

When we talk of carrying a bike and in particular an ebike we're generally not talking about transporting it over any sort of distance. Some bikes have been designed to accomodate this ... think cyclecross and many MTBs. Ever wonder why the brake and rear gear cables are often routed on top of...

There were a bunch of bike and early ebike step through frames with just a rounded or oval down tube that didn't hold up well over time (anecdotal). It was clear that the short cross member was indeed added to stiffen and make this frame design last longer. Some of these crossmembers are a...

The "people" of Quebec are not snooty ... any more than the people of the US are snooty, Okies are backward, or any other ridiculous generality. Quebecers are a wide diverse group of people and just like any other region of North America there are ignorant a-holes and really nice people. There...

When I first read that I thought you wanted a reverse twist throttle like Grin now sells for a regen setup (twist the throttle backwards to engage and moderate regen braking). What you've bought is a left handed half twist throttle? (but yes, a reverse twist from a right handed model).

No, it's not the law. As a consumer you can call it anything you want and order in any language you want (but if you stray from French or English you might not be understood ... ;) ). It's the vendor that has to place French above English when initially greeting customers or advertising (but not...

🍿🍿 I'm all set.

🍿🍿 :) I've been watching this thread and getting a good chuckle out of many of the comments as well as Ride1Up's marketing statements. The idea that a power (wattage/amps whatever) based cadence sensed PAS setup is somehow new is a bit humorous. This has been the default how a Grin Cycle...

If I was seriously considering an eTandem I'd consider modifying a good quality and carefully sized Tandem (in other words pick the right bike and then add the e capability). I'd look seriously at using the new Grin V3 All Axis hub motor, a Superharness and a minimal display. With the built in...

scOOter, I don't think you're making Ravi any happier. :mad:

Ya, with all those lightning bolts from the cloud being directed your way. :)

Winona ... in the "banana belt" of Minnesnowta. :cool: Here in the "far" north east we've got very little snow cover (less than a foot). Right now it's cold (well below freezing plus the wind) but the next few prospects for moisture are coming as rain ... in February! It is indeed a strange...

Jeremy, Sometimes you have to be a little quick. I usually open the article in question. Press stop (X) - it's also the page reload button, and then right click in the webpage and open reading mode. This works for most websites. Sometimes the paywall stuff comes up quickly and I might have to...

... or the Chrome reading mode.

Caution - 8 year old humor ... If your nose runs and your feet smell - you're built upside down.

Yeah, and from the weather forecast last night the storm is now tracking into the south eastern tip of Newfoundland (Avalon peninsula and the city of St. John's) with 20"/50+cm of snow. There have been way too many 50cm dumps of snow in my region this winter. I'm going to have to look for more...

Here in the far north east we missed out on the storm entirely. It's all passing south of us and out to sea. Nova Scotia however is going to/getting snow from it. This is what winter has been like so far (limited snow and higher temps). It's the other areas in the Martimes (like poor Nova...
