    Wondering how punchy is the Fazua ride 60

    Hi i almost ordered a roadlite on 2-3 years ago, but after reading a reviews mentionning that you had to open the battery compartment to switch the bike i decided that this was just too ridiculous. So first i m wondering if this problem had been solved ? Also i m wondering how punchy is the...

    Giant E3 + 2019 EnergyPak 400 upgrade

    I m jut wondering if i can replace the Energypack 400 by an Energypack 500, honestly i think it is unlikely because the form factor could be different. But, but, may be 400 is simply the 500 wtth less cells, allowing for a slightly lighter and cheaper bicycle. If anyone know, thanks in advance.

    Known Issues & Problems with Ebikemotion Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    This is the issue i got with my Vibe, Orbea asked me to return the bike granted that they covered the expenses for that. It was not a very positive experience since i had to bring the bike to the shop, then i waited 5 weeks and then i had to go back to the shop. Note also that Orbea did the best...

    Any serious review about the recent Orbea Kemen ?

    Well with a removable battery i would simply had removed it to send it back to orbea and the provider would probably had provided me a spare one while the battery got serviced. Note that many bike can perfectly work with the battery removed. Fazua even sell a light frame that can replace the...

    Any serious review about the recent Orbea Kemen ?

    Actually the non removable battery was the main reason why i sold back the Vibe. One day i got a red warning on the ebikemotion application, i contacted orbea CS which asked me for the error code. They decided to serve the bicycle. They operated nicely and i had to pay nothing, but the bike was...

    Known Issues & Problems with Ebikemotion Products + Help, Solutions & Fixes

    One major issue with my orbea vibe was that assistance would often cut of on very steep climb (8-10 % or more). On top it was a rear wheel engine to it dragged a lot anyway during climbs. I would advice people to avoid Mahle engine, Fazua is producing a similar engine but it is much better...

    Your experiences with the new Mahle MySmartBike app (replacement for Ebikemotion)

    Thanks for finally working on the application, for me it's too late i sold (semi reluctantly my vide since i prefer my synapse néo). Some important remark : - The app should start recording immediatly when asked, please don't wait for a GPS signal. The old application was the worst possible...

    Any serious review about the recent Orbea Kemen ?

    Oh yes for me this is the biggest weakness, and strong incentive not to buy it. I don't know if it can be removed by the user in 1-2mn with a scredriver, on the vibe it was complex and doing it would had void the warranty. I don't get why they do it, on the Canyon roadlite they have the newer...

    Any serious review about the recent Orbea Kemen ?

    I finally got a Synpase néo 2, and sold back my Orbéa Vibe, The néo 2 is not that heavy, 19.5 kg with a rear carrier, and bikestand a litemove (200 lumens) light and a Keox screen that i added to it. On the flat with the engine off it is very efficient, almost as much as a road bike, the main...

    Orbea Vibe (User Club)

    Yes it is a nice commuting bike, and i too cut the handlbars down to 60cm. I kept the orginal bars intact and just used a cheap carbon bar from amazon. Anyway i m selling it since i much prefer my synapse néo 2, it is a matter of taste but i m mostly a road cyclist so i prefer a racing bike...

    Saving like 500g per tire? René Herse versus Kenda.

    I was watching one of Twisted Wheels video on youtube in which he was using espensive Rene Herse Tires. So i checked and compared my Kendra K1052 700x45mm -- it should be 622etro x 1.55inches) with similar size Rene Herse with puncture protection. I Found out that the difference was in the...

    Cannondale Synapse Neo 1 (2020) - 1 month review...

    I have the Néo 2 which is a cheaper version of the néo 1, it is not full carbon, the gear set is only tiagra at the rear and 105 at the front (no idea why the rear is not 105, probably cause the 105 does not offer an extended gear scale). My wheels are 700x32. I'm very happy with the bike...

    I bought a bosh cable for less than 10 euros and then a cranck puller. I managed to doo the internal routing I used an electric wire that i attached to the bosch cable with some duct tape. The Bosch cable is standard but it has a specific connector. I also had to remove the cover of the light...

    Weird idea : putting a suspension fork on my Synapse Néo 2 ..

    I know that the idea may seem a bit weird but last week end I tested a mountain bike and I was amazed by its ability, Despite a probably poor driver (i do quite some cycling but not much mountain biking) i manage to climb super steep, rocky narrow paths, not simple what american call fire road...

    Looking for suggestions for a decent but affordable front light powered by the battery
