    How to carry the Turbo Levo / Kenevo Battery - in an EVOC Trail E-Ride Backpack

    Glad you stopped at the rear rack idea.....it isn't even a good idea on a granny bike unless you like the tail wagging the dog. I passed along to the bag maker who made mine the idea of the dt bag. Problem is that the h20 cage would probably have to go but it looks like you are prepared to...

    Anyone else follow the developments of future battery technology?

    Put that way it certainly looks like the 2170 cells, even using 30 over 40, would come out heavier as the individual cells weigh 65.8g and add in the extra weight for the holders, if used, over the 36.2g weight of a 4250mAh cell. The overall performance of the battery would be higher in regards...

    How to carry the Turbo Levo / Kenevo Battery - in an EVOC Trail E-Ride Backpack

    Thanks Tori, I now have a new item on my bucket list. Bush biking. I also find a bag useful for carrying a second battery but use a 1/4 frame bag. The extra weight on the bike doesn't seem to affect handling so I am going with that method over carrying the extra in my pack saving more room for...

    Anyone else follow the developments of future battery technology?

    As there are already 5000mAh 2170 cells available and being put on eBikes, as per the new BH bikes and I also suspect other 2019 higher end models that are all the sudden advertising more power, it is pretty much assured that format will make your dream of a 10s3p battery available on next years...

    I'm with you Dean, trail scouting is my favorite activity. In the past it was easy to use existing trail networks and follow the signs knowing that the terrain ahead and their ultimate ending point was pretty well set with signs and maps so that you didn't have to do much actual route finding...

    M1 Spitzing Evolution World Cup

    Think they could steepen that seat tube angle a bit more? It might be some sort of sliding scale climbing mode deal going on in the top tube as it looks like a pivot at the bottom of the seat tube that also looks really fragile. I rode the owners bike at Interbike 4 years ago and I do admit it...

    Let The Modding Begin!

    This is my road bike display, a CAIII, shown after a leisurely 41 mile tour, but I have a similar setup for the stock display on my eMTB but on the other side of the stem. Goal was to completely remove the display and mount from the bar. Works a treat.

    Component snobbery.

    I use Chris King hubs and i35 carbon rims with Sapim Strong spokes on my Métisse eBike. Not to be a snob but because that is what I had on the bike before I converted it to the TSDZ2. They wind up well and are plenty strong and pretty light. Wheel weight is about the only place outside of the e...

    Anyone else follow the developments of future battery technology?

    Actually Tesla is building 2170 batteries at the Giga Factory. They introduced them in the Model 3 and are refitting their other models to use them. Not to say he doesn't have a team of engineers looking at other options.

    Warm here so I took a ride to the Columbia River today during a break to cool off. It's like 2 minutes away, and it's cold! 30ah of battery on board got me there and back no problem.

    Anyone else follow the developments of future battery technology?

    There has been talk of new technology for years and it is an ongoing conversation that hasn't yet brought forth any tech yet to compete with LiMn etc.. I'm more about following the current technology that is applicable today. The switch to 2170 cells is going to be about as good as it gets for...

    Greeting from Finland

    Greetings from the West Coast of America. Your riding looks good. We have roots and rocks here also and follow Elk trails through the forest. Many come from a moto background and find eBikes to be a good cross between them and cycling. Much easier to explore new terrain with as if you have to...

    Prototype Intense E Bike

    They said they would never use 29" wheels back in 2001....Add Transition to the anti e sentiment also. But it hasn't kept their customers from adding an e system to their bikes....Santa Cruz as well is the preferred platform for the Kranked system. The tide is rising and it's either swim or...

    I am already tired of......

    That is nothing. About a month ago I installed a BBSHD with a 52v/17.5ah battery on a GT Outpost at a customers request as he had to have the biggest and baddest motor and the shop owner happy to make a sale and telling him it would be just fine. Like putting a bow on a turd. Although the BBSHD...

    I am already tired of......

    If you had a NOS set of those in the shed today you could sell them to some vintage wanker for his shelf bike and buy beer for a few months and not the cheap stuff.

    I am already tired of......

    The decision to ride an eBike is personal and nobody else's business. Sure there are issues currently in regards to trail access, at least here in the states, but like all advancements in the bike industry it will blow over in time and then the next thing will come along for them to focus their...
