Another new TQ motor: hpr40

Here are gravity maps of earth. It does matter where you weigh a bike. More importantly it is the altitude of say a velodrome that effects speed. Because of air density. This map is really cool and shows where to buy gold and where to sell it.

Of the terrestrial planets in the solar system, Earth is not only the largest body but also the most massive. A calculation of its weight puts it slightly over 6.58 sextillion tons (that's 6.58x10^21 or 6,580,000,000,000,000,000,000). It's heavy because everything on our planet has mass—from the...

Jaysus Pedal, the ol' magic dust is strong with you tonight.

I suspect she is wrong. Even the Canyon adverts talk about long range and so on. I cannot see them releasing a motor that cannot be ridden unassisted, given it's an extraordinary light bike. It would be pointless.

Yeah I think she must be wrong too. I wonder if when I said ‘unassisted’ she thought ‘power off’ but my examples should have clued her in. I emailed Ridley with the question and told them what TQ support has been saying. I heard their e-astr is coming to the U.S. soon so I hope they will get some clarification.

I find chat.gpt often goes down rabbit holes, building a convincing but increasingly false narrative that begins with one small piece of misinformation. Kind of like what a lot of people do.

Very true. I've got into the lazy habit of asking google questions rather then looking things up. When it's something I know a bit about it's shocking the wrong info I get back. And how by changing the question's word order or changing emphasis I'll get a very different answer. Makes you realise the slippy slope of general questions where I don't have enough info to judge if the answer is correct. And how many people just accept the answer because you know, it's google. Scary.

I did wonder if she got confused by motor off as opposed to assist off. But then would that damage the motor anyway? You'd think it would be disengaged. I'm not an engineer.

I like the look of that Ridley. Still curious to see who else comes on board. The more the better!
