    UCI World EMTB Champs

    Proper slop. Too bad the weather has gone to that in Leogang as I was looking forward to some good racing after last weeks events in Nove Mesto. Looks like Pidcock was on an SL which made all kinds of sense for his ability and the track as it was. In fact for any of the UCI courses given the...

    Where do you ride in Oregon/Washington?

    Seems to be the whole coast then as I'm in OR. If the wind would start blowing from the W/NW as per usual it would go away....

    Where do you ride in Oregon/Washington?

    I should clarify that I have two, well actually three eBikes and my eMTB fully knobbied out and a smaller battery was too clunky to ride out to Rocky Pt. thus the shuttle. My drop bar bikes have bigger batteries and more efficient for road miles and I could ride there easily but not as much fun...

    Where do you ride in Oregon/Washington?

    When I lived in PDX, Sauvies Id., I liked to roam around in the Tualitin hills between town and Scappoose plus hit every ridable part of the Island on my eDrop bar bike. Also rode all the legal bike access stuff in Forest Park. For eMTB I would shuttle to Rocky Pt. and park at the bottom and...

    Bosch fast charger - any good?

    A 6A charger will put in 216wh's in one hour (A x 36V= wh). Unless as stated you are trying to top it off. My Grin Satiator charger goes up to 8A but I have 21700 cells that can take that amount of charge.

    Review Ducati MIG-S

    Thok should strike a deal with Yamaha and make Yamacati's. The new Yamaha motors, of course Japanese, are looking really good and their motors seem to be having way less issues than some (most). Time will tell on the as yet to be announced Shimano. Yamaha has made mid drive eBike motors for...

    Decoy love was great while it lasted....

    It is advisable to store batteries at 50-70% of charge. If it's topped off currently it will take quite awhile to trickledown to that and that is where the potential for harm lies, certainly don't leave it on the charger. Easy enough to draw it down using your gauge to roughly 3/4 charge and...

    Hello from Alaska

    I worked on a tender delivering Lynn Canal chums to Taku Fisheries in 2010 . A friend still runs the boat called the Crane and if you see it at the dock tell them biker bob said hello. Did you look at the Yamaha line of eBikes over the Giant? There are some shops down here that are having good...

    Decoy love was great while it lasted....

    It happens, seems like you are on to PT which is the key to early release from shoulder injury I have found out twice. If your bike is truly "juiced up" to go meaning the battery is full you might want to hook it up to the trainer to bleed it down to 70% and check it again in a month to make...

    Broke my rear wheel, shear off the disc mount.

    Gravity is Bikes Direct house brand so it could be a number of overseas manufacturers. Even if you tracked down the manufacturer of that hub would you want another one? Caveat emptor and all that. Unlace and replace with another 15mm TA hub of the same dimensions to preserve your spokes and get...

    UK fighting it out with e-scooters

    Odd that doesn't seem to be the consensus in France at the moment: Electric bike ad banned in France for 'discrediting the auto sector' — Input I live in Oregon, USA and the state law here allows scooters to top out at 25mph while motor assist bikes are limited to 20mph. If anyone can figure...

    Article Next leap in battery performance for ebikes?

    Certainly you can add more cells to achieve what you say. My point was that Specialized and others than GreyP are making cell packs that fit into the same integrated frames with increased wh's and the reason they can do so is by using 21700 cells. It's a smart move and I think more will come in...

    Article Next leap in battery performance for ebikes?

    Awhile ago I got pronged on a post here for saying that the 700wh Levo battery was due to 21700 cells.....it's really the only thing that made sense and I always thought it odd that Spec and the others that are using the same cells to increase their wh's are not advertising the fact? Not a huge...
