What I would really like is to be able to convert some of that kinetic energy back into battery power. I know regen has been discussed before many times and is not possible with a crank drive but I would like a mode where on my descent from 1700m to 600m I could regain some of that power...

That's quite a strange comment, all circular rides have a net zero elevation gain. One climb on that route is from 700m straight to 1700m so 3000ft in one go, another isfrom 600m to 850m so hardly a small segment.;) As others have said I am quite surprised to see a hub motor doing this without...

5,600+ for me today on a 400Wh battery, over 35 miles, most of the big climb is over 10% over about 8-9 miles with the last 2 miles probably 15% average and pitches of about 30%

Got to disagree here, if you are riding down a road with tight corners or maybe hairpins then you are constantly changing your foot position so the inside one is high. As we know you shouldn't pedal a deraileur backwards so therefore we are pedalling forwards and braking at the same time, I...

Geared hub motor with regen?

If you want some testing done in the Alps by a 50 something typical (for this region) where 50% of the bikes I see are eMTB's then I'm your man!

Posts crossed, I totally agree, but that isn't clear. It reads more like a criticism of the tubes as supplied.

No issue with that at all, but having negative comments about something you have modfied is just ridiculous. If you either remove the valve cores or force slime though the valve you have changed it from its original specification, your problem. If you don't like the tyres as supplied for...

Still has nothing to do with the bike as supplied, you have modified it and are commenting on the components that you have modified in a review thread. I'd be a lot more concerned about the parts that are coming loose, made of cheese and wheels that are out of true than anything else.

I take it these are Schrader valves, easy to test for leakage just dab a little bit of spit on the end of the valve and it's clear if it is leaking. As you have filled the tubes with slime yourself and thus changed the original spec do you think it's really fair to be comenting on it in a review...

I don't have a choice as I have a 100m 14% descent right out side the door with a hairpin half way down and a 90 degree turn at the bottom!

This bike is known to have been filthy many times, cleaning around bearing areas is notoriously difficult. The parts used are standard MTB parts chosen to fit the price point. If you look at 'normal' MTB forums you will find the same issues over and over again. After less than a year of owning...

Little ride from a couple of days ago, 30% battery remaining. Life's hard in the mountains ;)

Easy it's called cider. ;)

This in spades, all of the talk in various threads about greasing bearings regularly etc is all symptomatic of inferior components. I have a 10 year old mountain bike with well over 50k miles on it, although it is not now on its original wheels due to "real" off road riding it has never had a...

I could have (and have had momentarily as I don't use Strava when riding but my other app syncs after the ride then I change it) all of the KOMs in this area of the Alps when I do a fast ride. Not so quick today with 1700m of climbing in a 47km ride but there would still have been some trophies...

Make your Strava rides ebike rides, do not interfere with peoples hard earned achivements!

Not necessarily, it could be waiting for a signal from the battery before turning on. This would eliminate sparking when you plugged it in.

One of these days I'm going to call in their factory showroom and test one of their bikes. They are only about 10km from me and over the winter built a new showroom in the middle of Wörgl.
