Wow, that's the kind of mileage everyone would like to see on their motors! My wife's Bosch powered bike is nearing 10,000km with zero issues but my first Brose powered bike went about 500km before replacement and my 2019 Specialized Turbo Levo is nearing 2000km without issues. Unfortunately I...

Drooling over that one...tilt and optional swing, built in cable locks and bike buddy maintenance stand, what's not to love, ok, price maybe??? But again...don't sell in Europe and not made for European towbars.

Nice rack for the money for sure but unfortunately 1up don't sell their racks in Europe. In fact, I had to use a VPN to even view their website. What's up with that....

#1 dang it, I thought he was talking about the overall weight if the rack istelf. Checked again and it is only for 2 bikes at 37.5 lbs for 75lbs total. They need an ebike version with 60kg capacity. #2 The US uses a square tubular mount that is much different than European tow bars hence the...

I'm hoping Thule will make a European version of their Helium Platform 2 rack sold in the US...best rack I've seen so far!

The best way to check drag at the pedals is to remove the chain from the front sprocket and turn the crank by hand. Give the crank a good flick in both directions and see if there is any excess drag...cranks stop rotating in less than 1 rotation or so. Problems with the sprag bearings normally...

I used Mudhugger shorty's on both front and rear on my 2019 Turbo Levo. I had to cut the one in the rear to allow it to fit above the cross brace on the seat stays. It has about 2cm of clearance but doesn't cover the lower section near the pivot. I just used some rubber from an old inner...

Was looking at one of their 2-ebike racks but couldn't justify the cost. Ended up making my own desiginternal take for less than €100. Works great and have fit 3 bikes with no problems.

The various Lithium-Ion cells we use in most ebikes these days are of similar chemistries that are 4.2 vdc when fully charged. Each cell can have different capacities and internal resistances but generally have similar discharge curves where the voltage of a cell decreases as capacity...

If you are talking two battery packs in parallel then not exactly. If they are isolated thru diodes then that is true until the voltage of the higher voltage battery reaches the voltage of the lower voltage battery it will provide all the current to the motor. As the voltages start to...

OTA testing started today. As one of the testers I updated to the newest Mission Control app then updated my TCU and motor to the latest FW...from 6.1.0 to 7.3.6. The update took less than 7 min and worked flawless. We will be testing a new motor FW that addresses the walk mode issues in a...

Unfortunately it sounds to me like there's a issue with either the cells being way out of balance or more likely, IMHO, there are some dead cells within a parallel group or two preventing them from reaching full charge due to increased resistance in the effected branch/s. When a battery looses...

I was considering getting some custom stickers calling it a "Revelation Ultimate"

Right-On...getting better all the time!

Interesting to hear that it is compatible with other systems. Would be interested in hear which systems. It seams that updates at both both Garmin and motor manufacturers continue to expand capabilities and connectivity...but bottom line right now is Garmin's Ebike data screen is not fully...

Specialized Mission Control does not, nor has it ever, provided for an estimated range display. If you are seeing a field for estimated range then you are most likely using the optional "Ebike" data screen that is part of the Garmin 530/830/1030"s software to be used with Shimano STEPS...

was looking at a VW Caddy but wife wanted a more normal car/SUV so I got a Ford Kuga and built a portable rack for two Bikes in the back. Have added a third bike easily as well

Topeak just came out with a rack for full suspension bikes https://www.topeak.com/global/en/products/tetrarack-series/1286-tetrarack-m2-(mountain)

I was looking into this a while back and unfortunately the layout of the cells and location of the bolts securing the battery to the frame is not conducive to using the larger cells. That's not to say it can't be done but would require some modifications to the frame I think.

Nope! That is equal to 3hrs labor at $100 an hour for a 30 minute job. A decent Bike mechanic could do a complete teardown/rebuild servicing in that time for less!
