I actually purchased mine from a bicycle shop in Wisconsin that was selling it through Amazon. My Amazon credit card gave me 18 months free financing, and I paid my local shop $100 to assemble the bicycle as required for the warranty to be valid. It is all Shimano and Rockshox, other than the...

I actually use this one: https://www.ebay.com/itm/183838180316 I purchased this for my previous Bicycle, misplaced it, and purchased a second because I liked it so much. The design is actually 90° from the others so it goes around the stem, rather than the handlebars and stays in place quite...

A little practice does make a difference. When I first got mine I was having four or five pedal strikes per ride and now it’s probably more like one. I’m still thinking about getting shorter Kranks.

I have the same bike but at nearly 6‘2“ I went with the XL and I am very comfortable riding it. It is definitely a huge bike, but I like the way I feel on it. On full charge it will estimate the range and eco-at 62 miles but I have adjusted my settings some, I am a bit heavy and probably get 35...

Definitely something that is going on with your specific bike. I routinely turn my bike off immediately after finishing a ride, as I’m sure many of us do, with no issues like this. I immediately thought “BS” when I read that Shimano told you to wait three minutes to turn the bike off or let it...

I hear ya. I figure if nothing else I can just change the bike to the rack and buy a three month Velosurance policy for $100 which will replace it if it gets stolen.

Sounds like a dream. I'm still trying to figure out my floor plan. I was hoping to fit my ebike in the bike sideways if I removed the front wheel, but I think it's still a bit too long. Would like it inside for security as well as to keep it out of the elements. May purchase a nice motorcycle...

No controversy with me. Everyone is free to ride what they want. But I’ll give up my Time ATACs when you pry them off my cold, dead feet.

I like to have a general plan with a lot of flexibility. By sleeping in the van it helps me get settled quickly and back on the road quickly. What is an air tent, is that like a rooftop tent?

Hey campgrounds don’t work for me. Hard to find one where you need one, can’t count on availability and doesn’t always fit my schedule either. I went across the US for five weeks last year and didn’t spend a dime in campground fees.

Nice setups. I'm thinking maybe 200 watts or so of panels on top of my Ford Econoline running into something like a Jackery or Bluetti solar generator. The most complicated part of the install would be mounting the panels onto a roof rack. I like the idea of charging from the engine, but don't...

On first glance the flexible panels look appealing, but most of them seem to die within a few years.

I think these "solar generators" may be a good solution for a weekend warrior like me. I have a van but don't want to do a full solar/electrical system. I think a couple of solar panels and a solar generator may be the ticket.

I'm planning my next long van trip, and this time I have an e-bike. I am considering getting one of those "Solar generators" (basically just a big battery with an inverter) to charge the bike battery, and charge/operate a few other devices. Of course the "generators" need to be charged, which...

65%/40Nm | 100%/55Nm | 300%/70Nm but I'm still playing with the settings.

Reminds me of a story...when I was about 3 my parents moved to a new house near the top of a hill. In the middle of the night trucks would come through and had to shift gears right in front of our house. My parents sleep was effected for about six weeks until they got used to it. When a new...

Sounds like a PITA. Got my chain-checker tool on order.

Oh. I still think most people are interpreting the graph incorrectly, but we can all believe what we want to believe and be happy as we whir off into the woods! :cool:

No, but I think my Shimano motor has quieted down a lot over the last 400 miles, or maybe my ears are just de-tuned to it.

All I can say is that the charging on your battery sounds very slow! Mine charges about 30%/hour up to 80% and then slows after that. Above 90% I would estimate it's similar to what you say yours is charging at.
