    What display are you using for your 2023+ Shimano ep801?

    Hello, I recently purchased a 2023 Orbea Rise H10 with the ep801 RS motor and I am looking for some feedback on what displays people are using, and whether or not you are able to see what assist mode you are in when you are in FINE TUNE MODE with 4 or more assist levels. I had set up the Orbea...

    Is my Trek Rail frame damaged?

    Hello, Today I was doing some routine maintenance on my Rail 9.7 and discovered the lower IS headset cup appears to be damaged? My headset felt smooth and I regularly checked it for play, so this was nothing that I felt. Of course, I am reaching out to my LBS for assessment, but would be...

    Help me choose a bike for the wife

    I'm a 5'7" woman and I love LOVE my medium Rail 9.7 with the 625 watt battery. I have been riding for a few years, 29" wheels feel like cheating about as much as having a motor. The 625 watt battery is plenty large for 20 mile rides with 2-3000ft climbing (on emtb mode). I would add tho, that...

    CYC Motor Cranks -- Lekkie?

    Hello, Yes, Isis fits, and I am glad you responded to this because I forgot that I had posted this. I did end up purchasing the lekkie cranks for my CYC motor, installed them in to my x1 Stealth, which was installed on a Surly grappler frameset with a 73mm bottom bracket, and the q-factor with...

    OMG! I might be better on an anolgue MTB.

    Yes! Absolutely! Going up I get a nice aerobic workout but I have noticed that on descending my heart rate goes anaerobic! (I'm 55 so for me this means 160-180) Partly coz I am going so much faster now than ever before and also maybe due to controlling the heavier bike. --as for the...

    OMG! I might be better on an anolgue MTB.

    Since I have started riding my Rail 9.7 - both my fitness and skills have increased considerably due to the fact that I will repeat and repeat and repeat technical trails that in my previous "analog" days, I was too tired to repeat after just one ride. Also, wear a heart rate monitor and you...

    Hello, Recently purchased a CYC Motor Stealth V3 with the Isis splined cranks. Need to replace the stock cranks as my driveside crank came loose and cannot be tightened sufficiently.

    tongsheng tsdz2 Vs cyc stealth

    I have owned Bosch, bafang, TSDZ2 and just acquired a CYC Stealth Gen 3. The TSDZ2 rIDes very similarly to the Bosch, but it is just not intended to be a performance motor as it overheats very easily - I am only 130lbs and pretty athletic (I set my motors to just help me feel younger and super...

    Comment by 'Seraye' in article 'Time to ditch the battery key!'

    I too consider a detachable battey to be an absolute requirement and will echo reasons previously stated. I remove the battery for transport on my 1.25” hitch rack. In inclement weather I bring the batteries indoors to charge. In fact, purchased two Treks, a Powerfly and a Rail, because their...
