Can you answer my question Dave please? or is your lack of a response to my question an indication that it won't actually change gear under full load?

Always good to have a carrot to aim for, clearly she needs to work harder ;)

That's fine, you will not find a bike to fit you correctly with that train of thought, apart from ones where the cranks are a long way forward. You'll reach the floor with your toes of one foot whilst sat on the bike with the saddle in the correct position.

Clearly not that impressive. I'd like to think you know you're looking at the wrong end. A system that responds instantly to your pedal pressure like the Bosch is needed. So the Nuvinci will change under full load perfectly with no issues? That was obvious to anyone who had ridden the...

The largest sprocket has bent outwards a bit at one point by the look of it.

Happy birthday for next week Dave. It feels slightly strange to see the owner of a company that specializes in making cars go faster and stop more quickly extolling the view that slower is better :) but I do know exactly what you mean, an e-bike is the best way to travel IMO, and especially in...

and more so on the cheaper versions. Impulse and Bosch have virtually eliminated the issue.

I for one hope you're wrong on that one. Granted it does appear that most e-bike buyers want powerful motors that will push them up the hills. However some of us want a less powerful crank-drive that rides almost exactly like a normal bike but requires a little less effort. My bike is close to...

That's OK, it was just my attempt at humour.

I quite agree, it was only a tongue in cheek train of thought.

Oh well I guess I was taking the slower is better a little too literally, I'm sure he'd see even more wildlife if he had to get off and walk up the hills :p :)

You don't need an electric bike to do that, in fact your enjoyment could increase even more if you ditched the e-bike and rode a normal bicycle :)

A very disappointing aspect of that crank drive system. I change gear very often on the climbs I do, changing up or down to suit, whilst the Bosch mated to a Nexus hub isn't perfect it is easy to master the technique required to get smooth gear changes. Changing into a low gear at the start of a...

Put your glasses on

Neither of those will take a seat tube mounted child seat because of the welded on shield for the wiring. You can get rack mounted seats though. Edit. having said that, the height of the battery mounted on the rack could be an issue too.

You know, to stop those dongle viruses corrupting your morals :p

You fit the battery with the lock open, no force required. once in turn the key to lock and remove the key. It sounds like your battery mount needs adjusting a little.

It looks like you need to be exploring the impossible in this thread too. http://www.pedelecs.co.uk/forum/threads/longer-range-out-of-the-box.18059/#post-223230
