Is Vado Smoking Addictive?

[Rich W.]

@PedalUma, I've got something for you. Did you convert a Polish Creme bike?

Creme is one of several brands (also including NS Bikes, Rondo, OctaneOne as well as two bicycle component manufacturers) owned and managed by the 7Anna group.

See their website.

Interestingly, they make e-bikes, too. They chose Shimano as their motor/system provider. NS Bikes, Rondo or OctaneOne are not cheap brands at all! Respected in Poland very much.

Cool bikes but a bit of a language barrier - not nearly enough vowels for me. Speaking of Poland, ever read Alan Furst? Some of his novels take place there and most visit or have some connection. I’m about in the middle of reading them all in order.

This is how I grease it.

Too much grease ? Okay I'll take some off I got to remove the motor again anyway I have to retrace the wire plugs because the fucking thing won't power on.
New bare bones canbus motor is $1000 plus shipping

Yeah I’d say a lot less grease. How much was in it when you split the case? It will heat up and want to vent - don’t know if there is a provision for that but if not it will have to give somewhere

this is what you buy for your bike when you smoke too much vado.

 

[PCeBiker]

I don't smoke much Vado.
I'm addicted to making Vado,..

 

[tomjasz]

[fooferdoggie]

Thanks Rome

Very little, my first time greasing the motor. I watched a you tube video here on EBR a member greased his Frey motor more than I have.

Too much grease can glog up the gears that may trying to spin up really fast.
That creates drag, that creates heat.
You want your grease on the axles of the spinning shafts.

Try to replace your grease with a bit more than what was there, at the pivot/rotation points.
Don't bind your gears.

Sun drying my pedals before install.
I love EBR for the interaction of fellow Ebikers it makes me feel good.
I'm going on a group ride with a friend whom I met and we gonna go on a 50 mile century ride

That’s a long ride! 10 times my normal ride. I hope your Vado doesn’t smoke while on the ride…..perhaps after.

I’m new to this, just recently figured out what a MUP is, but wouldn’t 50 miles be a half-century?

Nah, that's just 80 km and some
Probably Rome had a vado too many when he was writing the above

50 miles is really pushing the limits of my Emtbs range on 100% charge battery, I have one battery for each bike.
We have a chase vehicle, I'm going to check if they will let me join the ride with two ebikes I am willing to pay registration fees for two ebikes my plan is to Switch bike when battery is exhausted.

Maybe he can make it happen. North Shore of Oahu is beautiful.

Super Bowl weekend you all.

European Track Cycling Championships in Grenchen, Switzerland.
Polish Daria Pikulik won the silver in the Omnium race

Meanwhile, Polish Pawel "Piko" Pulawski was fourth at the finish line of the Race Around Rwanda, a gravel ultramarathon of the 989 km distance and 15,000 m of elevation gain, all at high altitude.

He made the race in 62 hours.

Meanwhile Alina Kilian of Specialized Poland won the bronze in the same race among women.

Some people smoke vados.

Meanwhile, Polish Mateusz Rudyk won the silver in Sprint race at the European Track Cycling Championships

Cool bikes but a bit of a language barrier - not nearly enough vowels for me. .

My theory: A long time ago, the Eastern Europeans got together and sold their vowels to the French, who just couldn't get enough and were willing to pay exorbitant prices. The French then proceeded to rename everything with as many vowels as they could throw in -- hence "écureuil" for squirrel. I mean, really??

Wonder if the Eastern Europeans ever wish they had their vowels back? @Stefan Mikes ?

Some people smoke vados.

I think these guys do, what else can explain the lack of a mirror? Won Hung Low
