Maybe this elevation graph will explain my situation. Quite a bit of descending from mile 15 to about mile 17.5. Even when I don't encounter walkers, each of the steep segments ends with a tight, slow 90 degree turn.

I share the trails on my regular ride with walkers, their little kids, and their dogs (usually with no leash). There are some long, steep descents, and it seems as though I always encounter the walkers on those descents. That means slowing from 25-ish mph to maybe 5 mph so I can pass them...

I'm pretty sure that is power delivered to the motor from the battery. Motor power delivered to the crank sprocket will be less than that. I don't know how efficiently the Brose motor converts electrical energy to mechanical torque. A quick search for "typical dc motor efficiency" suggests...

I didn't think this thread was going to get this many replies - thanks for the chuckles! I agree that I probably heard a phone ring tone, but the rubber duck and chicken look like much more fun. Edit: Steve, one of the Amazon listings included a customer video. The handlebar duck in that...

New sign where I ride regularly. I wonder what happened to prompt this? I bet it was exciting for somebody! FWIW, I've hiked and ridden here for more than 30 years. I've seen bobcats, but never a mountain lion (aka puma, cougar, panther). I'd like to spot one (at a safe distance!).

:-) I didn't get a good look at the guy, but he spoke English, so probably not.

Agreed, I get a lot of "Thanks for the bell" from hikers who hear my Timber bell on the bumpy downhills. I doubt they would hear that quack, and I know my hands are too busy to activate any manual bell or horn.

A guy on a commuter ebike passed me as I rode home from the trail head. Before he passed, I heard a duck quack. Have any of you encountered a bike horn that sounds like a duck? I don't think I want one because it wasn't very loud, but it did make me smile.

I'm guessing this was intended to be a joke, too? 160 inch-pounds would be a more reasonable spec. :-)

Due to what I've been calling medical excitement, I haven't ridden since early July. But I could work on the bike. I: replaced all the suspension bearings replaced all the wheel and freehub bearings did the 200 mile service on the fork shock (it has a coil spring) cleaned the brake pistons...

I remember my Android version misbehaved if I didn't set location permission to 'all the time'. Maybe you got an update that modified your permission settings? I keep my phone in my pocket with the password-protected lock screen active. I guess that means BLEvo is not running in the...

Due to a period of 'medical excitement', I've been playing video games rather than riding since early July. Yesterday was my first ride after playing Stranded Deep on my pc long enough to have survived 100 game-days. I felt a strange compulsion to pick up every meter-long stick I saw along the...

It's fixed now! BLEvo trouble! I updated to 3.13.1.615, and then updated my phone to the most recent Android OS that it could find. I turned on Bluetooth and location services. I turned on my gen2 Levo. I launched BLEvo, and none of the buttons do anything. Not Scan, not Bike Setup...

I just lift my Turbo Levo onto the stand with arm power. I grab the battery tube and the chain stay. And I'm not a big guy (see avatar ;-)

I submitted my request to allow emtbs. Thanks for posting! As with any topic, opinion will be divided between those who focus on the benefits and those who focus on the abuse.

What's on my plate? I just had root canal surgery, so nothing that requires any chewing! Mostly the prescription strength ibuprofen tablets.

Agree with (and have experienced) all of the above. I traced yet another creak to the chain stay pivot bearings, one of which barely rotated.

It's been normal since at least gen 2. I think you will grow to like it. If you were not putting a ton of power into the pedals just before shifting, then the motor will not be providing much assistance. Having the motor spin the chainring when you are not pedaling means that the shift can...

When my sprag clutch was failing, I would get lengthy overruns (a second or two), and sometimes I would get far more than the expected assistance when climbing. It felt like I was being towed up the hill. My motor was rebuilt by BearingMan's USA affiliate. He said the crank shaft was badly...

The same mounting scheme.
