"In the end a group of them collared me and got me to act as a pacer for them, kind of like a gurney on a velodrome." Motor-paced racing - Wikipedia My dream is to be invited to be the motor pacer for a woman's road team:p While out on my road bike if our speeds are somewhat matched I extend...

Relevant to the info here is this bit of a historical and mechanical perspective of the motor itself. TQ-Systems mid-drive, the German off-road hot rod The concept has really developed since the $80,000usd Black Trail from 2010 At least Haibike have shortened the chain stays from back then...

"There's lots of fearmongering about guys roosting about with throttle bikes." Like a 750w bike under full throttle can roost anymore than if you are in turbo and hitting the pedals full on.....I happen to have a 750w mid drive with torque sensing and a throttle and the only way possible to get...

"When pulling out of a junction, drivers will see a bike and then subconsciously think it is going a certaim speed, based on the conditions and gradient. A high-speed eBike will not be detected by the driver and hence they may well think they have time to pull out and away, when in fact they...

Not that what you say isn't true it had little to do with eMTB's and really only affected that particular urban area. It still does to an extent but as I alluded to there is a general softening and acceptance of the fact that eBikes are here and here to stay, even in NYC: Push to Legalize...

My perspective, being US based, is that although ebikes have been available here for over 20 years they never really gained much market share. Mostly due to their overall ineffectiveness with weak battery systems and chinese hub motors but also due to the fact that few saw the need for eBikes...

I bet that one is it as it is the same shape and color as the ones I saw during the race coverage. That vid kind of showcases how LOUD they are however....Took awhile to blow up the floaty but seemed to pump up the mtb tire to 2bar in pretty short order. I like Squire Rides idea to have it...

I have noticed watching CycloX races this winter that in the pits there are cordless drill looking tools being used as tire inflators. Knowing that cordless tools are available to just about anything these days I took a trip down Google Ave. and of course came up with a variety of options...

"The industry first E-MTB saddle." Hello Ergon, While I have great respect for your backing of the MTB racing community, especially in regards to an OTF in CO, it never sits right with me to see the old "first ever" marketing card when in fact your marketing dept. didn't take the time to do a...

In a way it kind of reminds me of the Alibaba faux bar that sells on there for under two grand but this version with a Bafang M600 is listed @ $3500 which I consider personally to be way too much. Better spec on the Radon for sure so not apples to apples but similar cs length. Models like...

Another runner up.

No TV for me either for years now. These days with Netflix and Amazon Prime I hardly ever go to the theatre either. But if you have Amazon Prime and get into it, Outrageous Fortune, while not a movie but a series, will keep you entertained for quite awhile. At least it did me.

Honorable mention, the M55 Terminus but it gets the high price award at $18k. The MP has been around for awhile, but the M55 are no longer are available. Not sure how the Moto P is hanging on but it is Italian after all....

"The industry first E-MTB saddle. Longer periods of sitting, steeper uphills and greater levels of impact characterize the E-MTB experience. After intense development, the optimal saddle shape was found." That is some real Barnham and Bailey level BS right there.

One would think they would have better luck within the X Games format. The Olympics have never had any motorized events to my knowledge. I did use to like to watch the 4 man bob sleds back in the day, way back actually, that would fly off the course. I was always sad that barrel jumping didn't...

Ok then, surprising as there is not much difference between those two sizes in diameter but quite a bit in width and that is what I would have suspected to be the limiting factor. My personal bike which fit a 2.4 700c needed some crimping to provide enough clearance for the 650b 2.8 I run on...

"Coding shimano battery , never heard of that , shimano battery fits any shimano bike swap all you like" That is true but a Bosch battery won't work with a Shimano motor and a BMZ Brose battery won't talk to either etc, etc. The proprietary software used by big companies these days is all about...

"The uptake of 22700 type cells" I have seen this reference a few times here. Actually the new cells depending on the manufacurer are 20700 or 21700 of which the latter is the most popular due to Tesla adopting that format, although they call them 2170's, and most likely to end up the new...

If you have a set of 29" wheels laying around they will work on the same bike also. Or mix and match with a 29" front with a b+ rear as some are finding to work for their terrain.

Agreed that the BMS is there to regulate the lowest point in voltage so to preserve the integrity of the pack and is set by the manufacturer. It's main purpose is to completely shut off the battery once it's threshold has been met and on a 36v battery that is around 28v minimum. It also shuts...
