    Comment by 'stantaur' in article 'TQ HPR50 Review + Trek Central app'

    PHENOMENAL review. Thank you so much for comparing against the EP8-RS and Bafang on power at those 3 cadences. Can you share how long each bike went in the range test, please? The EP8-RS's power advantage alone is likely swaying me toward the Rise M20, and some users have reported that in...

    STUnlocker (ex Shimano STEPS Unlocker) Android & Windows App for derestriction/market change and etc

    Hi - for EP8-RS users only seeking to enhance torque from 60 Nm to perhaps 75 - 80 Nm is ST Unlocker considered safe and reversible for the: --Carbon (360 WHr battery) Orbea Rise M-series, and/or --Alloy (540 WHr) Orbea Rise H-series I'm only interested in increasing the torque/assist levels...

    Fuel EXe Official Trek Fuel EXe Megathread!

    Has anyone had an EXe motor cut out & click a couple of times (for a half second each)? I test rode a 9.8 up our paved hill that climbs 350 ft in 0.6 mi. Display showed output between 240 - 260 Watts in Mode 2 (middle) averaging 6 MPH. Just after that, I did a short climb (maybe 50 ft rise) in...

    Great summary. Seems like an Orbea Rise M10 (43 lb, 360 WHr battery, carbon) but with 85 Nm EP8, which would jump to the top of my list if it existed in Alloy H15 variant (~45.5 lb, 540 WHr, 85 Nm)

    Fuel EXe Official Trek Fuel EXe Megathread!

    Are the factory default settings for the EX-e's 3 power modes configurable in terms of torque delivered? For example, on the Orbea Rise, there are two groups of Eco/Trail/Boost, one group's in Profile 1 that maxes out at 47 Nm, and one in Profile 2 that maxes out at 60 Nm. I rode a Fuel EX-e...

    The State of eMTB in USA

    Several areas like Hagg Lake around Portland OR prohibit eMTB outright, while other areas (Stub Stewart, Brown's Camp) significantly reduce the number of trails open to eMTB (vs. regular MTB). Hood River area seems more amenable. Problem is, this level of headwind is likely suppressing sales...

    675 mm Standover Height Suggestions?

    Wife is a very petite 5'1" riding a Specialized Myka FSR with 674 mm standover. Wants eMTB to make climbs easier. Lowest we can find is Trek Powerfly FS4 in XS at 691 mm standover. Tried Orbea Rise S (710 mm was too high). Welcome any suggestions, as we're getting up in years and want to stay...

    Levo SL Gen 1 Levo SL 2023 Megathread

    Interested to see if they ante up with 60 Nm to match Rise's EP8 RS. This lightweight mid-power segment is catching attention...
