    Let's not bring my (non-existent) Tesla into this!

    EMTB Motor Torque stats

    I think the following quote is what I was struggling to remember: “The Shimano STEPS E8000 offers three assistance modes (Eco, Trail and Boost) and is the strongest motor in our group test. The optimalcadence for it to produce its maximum output is around 70–90 rpm. Conversely, under 50 and...

    EMTB Motor Torque stats

    Interesting, I do enjoy this kind of information but find its a bit easy to make too much of the stats. I do almost all my riding in Eco mode, which I have turned a little bit higher than normal, with occasional use of Trail mode for extremely difficult climbs. Let me add that I find this graph...

    How do you carry spares?

    For short rides I "go naked", work keys, water bottle and phone in jersey pocket. For long rides I load up the CamelBak with tubes and tools.

    Should I top up my battery before a ride?

    It just comes down to what works best for me. I generally get two or three rides out of a charge, so don’t charge it unless I think I will need it for the next ride. Then I will charge to 100% and unplug the charger once the LEDs show that the battery is fully charged. Unless I forget, but the...

    Should I top up my battery before a ride?

    I definitely wouldn't "top off" the battery. I ride pretty regularly and only charge mine if I don't think I have enough battery for the next ride.

    ST Ride App - Tracker/dash/logger for STEPS motors

    I tested the new app and it worked like a charm. I actually just kept the phone in my pocket, and looked at the data later but it recorded the whole time and everything looks good. The mapping is really neat!

    Seat bag with dropper post

    Interesting, one of the benefits that sold me on my first Camelbak, 25+ years ago, was getting the weight off my bike frame. Not as big a deal with an e-bike, but I haven't used a water-bottle cage since. When I'm riding light I just put a water bottle into my jersey pocket.

    Un-Official Clydesdale Thread

    I'm an old Clydesdale that should've been put out to pasture years ago but keep on riding! I bought a Felt Redemption (Shimano 8000) a couple of months ago. It's about 51 lb/23 kg, I'm about 238 lb/108 kg. Bike is awesome. I've tuned it with ST Unlocker and ride mostly in ECO. Favorite thing is...

    Well, then, if you ride Shimano you must get the new ST Ride app! It is a number-guy's wet dream! Maybe an exaggeration, but it's pretty cool! Keeps stats and does mapping, too!

    Shimano Battery Life Poll

    My battery says n100% after 9 cycles. Wondering if it's like the gas gauge that stays on full for 80 miles and then drops to 3/4 tank. Or like the iPhone battery meter.

    Are spoke magnets a no no.

    It beats having to ride home without a motor.

    Computer for 2020 Trance E1?

    I think the Shimano head unit actually has the cleanest look, at least of any of the units that actually include a display.
