I visited a friend yesterday and rode some new trails on the shore line until I hit the end of the trail. It's funny where those big tires take me. And todays morning commute. I know what I'm going to do tonight - clean my bike :-D

I think the range indicator is handy. Over time you learn the range of the bike in different conditions. Which is valuable as conditions have huge impact on battery consumption.

Alfine chain line is 42mm, so it would be really best to move the Alfine sprocket outwards. Somebody must have done it, google Alfine 8 MTB chain line (as I understand BBS02 uses MTB 'standard' chainline of ~50mm).

I haven't loved the climate this summer, would prefer a bit more sun and warmth. Rather you than me :-D I hear it's pretty bad year mosquito wise (no wonder as it has been so wet), but they are not much of a problem down south at the coast where I live.

Pumped up the fat tires as it was time for a road trip. Round trip to my sister to meet relatives and have a BBQ. Total 115km, 4:44 hours, average speed 24.2km/h. Eco all the way except on a few bigger hills. I've done this on my cyclocross bike a few times, and according to Strava travel time...

I Haven't seen normal 2016 KTM models so I don't know :-D I don't mean a spaceship look, just that the battery (and motor) is more integrated to the frame. For example have a look at the new Specialized. Looks more traditional bike than KTM e-bikes. Cycling industry is a lot about trends, and...

Kapoho was very much expected bike and looks a nice one. Seems like for 2016 KTM went the traditional way and just slapped the motor and battery on the frame. Other manufacturers are going more for the integrated style. But maybe KTM has some surprises, we'll see..

Back on the single track after few weeks of travelling. Evening ride in the Helsinki Central Park. Mud & roots, perfect for fat bike with 0.6 bar tyre pressure Nice and smooth. Usual sight here, the log has been chewed up by bikes Selfie time There used to be a track here.. No, I...

You sir are right. I changed the photo to the correct bike.

Now this one looks one serious bit of kit. I love the stealth appearance. Must be very expensive thou.. Vital MTB: 2016 Specialized Turbo Levo FSR

I suspect more head injuries happen on cycle paths and roads due to inexperieced riders and inadequate protection. My worst accident happened on slow speed on cycle path, the front tyre of my cyclocross bike slipped due loose gravel and I hit the road head first. Luckily I was using a helmet...

Fat bikes are the ultimate exploration bikes. They go everywhere any time of the year. And with e-assist they do it with ease. So much fun. Yes the 4-5" tyres are an overkill for many situations, slightly slimmer 27+ will be the hottest thing at Eurobike this year.

From the German site Cube 2016 models: http://www.pedelecforum.de/forum/index.php?threads/hybrid-neuheiten-2016.34947/ Another fat bike to choose from and 27.5+ models too :)

Looks more like 27+/29+ bike, not sure tho. But 27+ will be big for 2016.

27.5+ Scott e-Genius models http://ebike-mtb.com/en/first-ride-scott-e-genius-710-plus-bike-2016-2/ :-P:-P drool... Edit: difficult to copy paste insert links in tapatalk. Fixed now.

Details are out. A little bit of spec bumping, nothing radically new. - 500w battery - a bit smaller enclosure - 75Nm torque - support for eshift - same small front chain ring - some software updates...

Look what I found in my neighborhood! A miniature pump track and some small jumps. I knew it existed somewhere but had never run into it. I spent good half an hour there doing things that you can barely call as jumps :-D

Check out Giant Full E 1. I was very tempted by it, 500Wh battery and I guess the Yamaha motor is modified by Giant for even longer range (a bit less assist than the regular Yamaha motors?)

Sheldon Brown's Gear Calculator is an excellent tool for figuring out gearing.

'Congrats on your new purchase. You can never have too many bikes :D I've got an 80s Nishiki Trim Master, when they were still made in Japan. The frame is 60cm, tall and short, perfect for cruising around. The photo is a bit old, the bike has now new wheels and saddle. Sweet bike, I really love...
