Giant XR E+ De-restrict

Ps the hill climb was a very close race for most of the bikes and may well have depended on just where the speed limiter was set.

Please don't start that again. I personally checked that the winning bike had a speed limit set to 15.5 mph. So there's absolutely no doubt.

Sorry for late reply I have to make a decision and so I'm going to stick with the mid drive. I'm going to start a new thread now with a Bosch vs Yamaha vs Shimano which one is the best

I didn't make an issue of it or claim cheating.
Given the race was won by a few meters over a distance of a couple of hundred that means a possible speed difference of less than 5% so a maximum of 1.1kph error.
It's well within the error limits for the equipment given all the error sources.

As to world champion, perhaps EU legal class world champion.
Please don't make to big a point of a local fun race being all there is.
Pikes peak is a far greater test of performance than that short hill.
Remember performance is many things range, economy, acceleration,torque, sustained power all come into play.

And relax

If that's what you had meant, you should have made it clear in the first place. I don't think that anybody else would have got that meaning from what you said.

I didn't make an issue in the past. There was one dealer who was unhappy. I tried to point out at the time it was close with no significant difference.
but the Oxigen remains a very good bike with excelent EU class performance.
As the woosh has as budget buy, and kalhoff as premium and BH and A2B also have niches.
( other bikes avalable etc)
