My bike fell over today while stationary, and the plastic piece that connects the Kiox on my Trek Powerfly 7 FS to the handlebar broke. The Kiox itself still works, and this part doesn’t include any electrical connections (those are on the other side of the joint), but I can’t figure out what...

I’ve been using Komoot for years to plan both hiking and eMTB rides, but it often sends me onto impassable tracks, sometimes completely overgrown with dense vegetation, or onto private or closed roads that are clearly not usable. As a result, I have to go back and take long detours. This...

I need to replace the tyres on my acoustic gravel bike, a cheap Decathlon Riverside 700, because the current ones get punctures too often on rough terrain. The shop suggested one of these options, but I’m not sure which would be the best choice: At the moment, I’m leaning toward the “Travel”...

This time I'd love to understand why people don't use their bike for commuting and everyday commitments. Not just for weekend fun or a leisurely ride. As always, vote honestly and feel free to comment freely. All answers are valid, all perspectives are welcome. Just, try not to be too rude. A...

My Trek Powerfly 7 FS XL has just under 2,000 km on it over 4 years of riding. It's a heavy bike: the motor, if I remember correctly, is a Gen 2 CX Performance and the battery is 625 Wh. The tyres are two Maxxis MTB. I've been pretty diligent about battery health, keeping the charge between 30%...

Quick poll out of genuine curiosity: no right or wrong answers here! We all ride for different reasons: fun, fitness, commuting, exploring, or simply because it beats sitting in traffic. I'm curious to know how much environmental sustainability plays into your personal decision to ride an...

Let me explain my situation: my Trek Powerfly 7 runs a Maxxis Minion DHF 29x2.50 WT up front and a Maxxis Dissector 29x2.60 at the rear. I weigh 90 kg, and the bike itself is quite heavy, around 24 kg, plus a rack, frame bag, backpack with laptop and books, pannier, and so on (I guess I am...

I own a cheap gravel muscular bike Decathlon Riverside 700 and I'm wondering whether it's possible to convert the wheels to tubeless. I've already taken the bike to a good local shop, but they're not entirely sure about it either (They will let me know their opinion on Monday.) Has anyone done...

Today I found myself wondering how the remaining battery charge is actually measured by Bosch or other motor/batteries manufacturers. Is it based on continuously integrating current × voltage? If that were the case, it should also be possible to track the battery’s true total capacity over...

Based on this forum’s database, which e-bike models and brands are most commonly used among its members?

The other day I went for a ride with my non-electric bike, a budget Decathlon Riverside gravel, and it became pretty clear it’s not really suited for this kind of route (1100+ m of elevation gain, 77 km, with very steep dirt climbs). I ended up having to get off and push for quite a few...

@Greg Watts : Which is the average battery degradation by year reported by users (more than by lab testing)? I am interested in Bosch Powertubes in particular. I almost always maintain the charge in the 30-70% range.

The rear hydraulic brake lever on my Trek bike (Shimano brakes) feels very soft and doesn’t build pressure. I’m guessing it might be due to low brake fluid in the system. Any suggestions? Can I just top it up with any brake oil, or does it need a full bleed and refill? How to avoid air bubbles...

Some time ago, while traveling through the Po Valley, I came across a mature German couple riding a beautiful e-bike tandem. That got me thinking about buying one, so I could go on long trips with my wife. She’s a bit afraid of road cycling and has much less endurance than I do, so riding...

So far, in the few occasions I’ve needed to do this, in Italy and Spain, I’ve never had any issues charging my e‑bike battery at a restaurant, or even at a café where I’d stopped for a sandwich and a cappuccino. That said, I’m curious about other people’s experiences: has anyone ever been...

Hi @Greg Watts, I wanted to ask you for advice, and of course I’d be happy if anyone with real experience could chime in. I’m thinking about buying a touring e-bike as a gift for my wife, so we can ride together this spring. My requirements, in order of priority, are: An e-bike suited to a...

In the part of the world where I moved — Northern Italy — I’ve noticed that cyclists mostly wear black clothing. This makes them hard to see, especially in the evening, when there’s fog (very common around here) or when riding on narrow, winding roads. I usually wear light-yellow jerseys and...

Questions that may have already been asked but I can’t find the answer: If I were to disassemble the 625 Wh battery of my Trek Powerfly 7, is it possible to replace the internal cells? What type are? Are them available on the market and, eventually, are there commercially available cells today...

Before you vote, imagine this: your ideal next e-bike is almost ready. Same geometry, same motor, same battery, same price — everything exactly as on the e-bike you already love (or dream of loving). Now you are allowed to change only two things. Pick the two features that would truly make a...

The kiox of my Trek Powerfly 7 FS shows some "power" in W. I wonder how it is measured. Is this just VxA? If so, where it is measured? At battery level (I don't think so because otherwise there would always be some power when the kiox itself is on) or at the motor? I think this is the power...
