    Apart from sandals with socks, Germans are also famous for this behavior on vacation. Often while wearing sandals and socks. :LOL:

    Could Giant be up for a class action?

    A small but important point about Giant's concern for New Zealand's sovereign law. We have no speed limit applying to e-bikes in New Zealand. No limit at all. Bikes are limited in theory to 250 watts output (nominal) but there are no speed restrictions. My partners 2019 Giant e-Revolt is limited...

    I have a Lapierre Ezesty and a Look E765 gravel and both have the Ride 50. Apart from a proclivity for hydrophobia I've had a great experience so far. Lower power but correspondingly lower weight. 13.6 for the Look I believe. Support cuts at 25kph in line with Euro regs but Fazua support told me...

    2024 Santa Cruz Heckler SL

    As the owner of two Fazua powered e-bikes (both Ride 50) I've been watching the Ride 60 development with interest. It seems this might be a solution for a pretty persistent issue. Landingpage

    What did you buy your ebike this week?

    Ah yes, nuns. Who doesn't have fond memories of catechism and firmly struck knuckles with the edge of a wooden ruler by Sister Mary Euthanasia and Sister Veronica Eugenica :)

    Spelling Crisis

    I noticed the subtitles on the German TV coverage of the TDF Tade Pogacar was translated as Tage Focaccia. AI at its finest.

    New Pinion integrated gearbox and motor (MGU)

    These guys seem to get good feedback from their riders and the Pinion gearbox is well regarded also. If you didn't have to pedal it, it might be close to perfect :)

    I thought he said "Albi Beck". I always wondered who Albi Beck was.

    Is this the future of remote buttons?

    https://www.zirbel.ch/en/ These are incredibly simple electronic shift and dropper controllers. Seems like the concept could be extended to support level control pretty easily too.

    Whats the difference between a Lada and a sheep? Its more socially acceptable to be seen climbing out of the back end of a sheep.

    Trek Fuel EXe 500wh Battery Project

    Perhaps you could run that analogy using beer Zimmer. The logic seems sound but I'm having difficulty visualising.

    Do I need eMTB specific wheels for SL bikes?

    Ah yes, the Law of gravitational inverse. Top marks Zimmerframe. Never have I seen this so clearly and concisely elucidated. Now, can I interest anyone in some E-bike specific grips. You can't just use any old grips without loss of control, self or otherwise. Where would we be without the...

    Fuel EXe so who's ordered the Trek Fuel EXe?

    Check out NOX Epium. NOX have form with their Fazua Ride 50 powered Helium enduro bike and the Epium is a new carbon frame running the Fazua Ride 60 with the larger battery. I have two Ride 50 powered bikes, a Lapierre E-Zesty and a Look E765 and for a rider who doesn't want the motor to take...

    Winter riding kit - stuff to keep you warm and dry

    Agree. I did say they're top quality, not top fashion ;). I have a Doctor Smock from the very early 2000's and its still 100% functional but unfortunately also still ugly.
