Not actualy stupid, more that I was deliberately being pedantic. " suddenly WE want low power" I wouldn't be as presumptuous as to tell others what they want. No I just don't see how the quest for higher power fits in with the spirit of the electrically assisted pedal cycle ( pedelec )

Why bother, just get one of these...

I have the cube acid one 500 on order, I'm sure it will be good for longer trail riding days :) https://www.cube.eu/en/2018/e-bikes/mountain/hardtail/acid/cube-acid-hybrid-one-500-29-greennblack-2018/

That's my thoughts exactly and why I'm opting for the 3 gen Bosch motor in my next bike (mid Feb hopefully)

After the performance line Bosch made the CX motor, smaller, lighter and more powerful, predominantly for proper MTB's as opposed to there other motors designed for leisure, commuter and adventure bikes. To my knowllage There's been very little trouble reported with the performance line but the...

Bosch's own website explains each motors best uses https://www.bosch-ebike.com/en/products/drive-unit/ Bosch motor generations 1st gen included both an active and performance version, mechanically the same but the performance motor has a higher max power. There is a gear reduction within the...

Right time and place then YES have a go by all means. Anyone I already knew or I may meet in my "let's ride" group would be welcome but a random stranger who may not bring it back !!!

Assuming you tried all the different power levels, perhaps you were expecting too much. A lot of people look a our choice of transport with preconceptions, expecting electric motorbikes only to be disappointed when they need to pedel.

In this new age of diversity you should be more accepting.

Oh yes, many colours to chose from, I change my grips to match my outfit :p

I covered at least 1,000 miles with those in the OP, for only a couple of quid from China I thought I'd have a go. When out on long rides and your hands get uncomfortable the bar ends give more hand position options for a bit of relief. The rubber part is harder than you'd like so decent...

I could tell you but you wouldn't learn from that :p However you could look at the link I posted and click on the size guide, next to the appropriate bearing code (also in the link) you'll see the dimensions ;);););):););););););)

I didn't get it

Good purchase, I hope you used your British cycling discount ;)

There lots of reasons not to stop, it's quicker to lose muscle tone than it is to get it back after a long break, the same goes for the butt to Saddle interface. I also find that my arthritis thrives on inactiverty, the less I do, the more it hurts ;)

Just for looning around on, 3000 watts of nuttiness for a miserly $10,000 https://electricbikesbrisbane.com.au/collections/vintage-retro/products/vintage-electric-scrambler-ebike

Don't I know it :rolleyes: I'm still getting out analog style for an hour or so a couple of times a week ;)

I'm a fan of frame bags, they keep my light battery close to where the light is mounted and I can put all that stuff in there that would have been in my pockets, phone, money, keys, emergency fruit pastels ;) (other sources of quick energy are available) and a small coffee stop lock.
