Lesenswerter Artikel, weil er nochmal eine andere Perspektive auf die Frage: warum ein #ebike aufmacht.

Ich möchte mein #orbea #rise jedenfalls nicht mehr missen. 😎

All of these attempts at anti #ebike and #bicycle laws are a clear attempt to force people back into the overpriced, unsustainable, motor vehicle market

Die Ampel wird endlich grün, und beim losfahren macht mein #ebike ein seltsames, aber eindeutig elektrisches Geräusch.

Hö?

Jo, war nicht mein Rad. Hat sich beim Warten doch glatt ein Postauto angeschlichen, das mit über die Grünphase will! 😆

I needed a holder for a Bosch Smart System ebike charger, so I fired up the CAD system and made one.

The charger can be removed without unplugging from the power cable, and has brackets for holding both the charging cable and the power cable.A 3d printed bracket for holding a Bosch Smart System 4a charger on a wall (side view).

I generally love my ebike, but I have to say that it is poor at communicating its status to the rider.

Mine is equipped with the "iWoc Trio" handlebar mounted control, which at least gives you three separate buttons for control (usually increase e-assist, decrease e-assist and on/off, but overloaded with some secondary functions too) but for status info/feedback there is precisely one (1) colour LED plus a vibration motor for tactile feedback.

You can only feel the vibration motor when you have a finger on the buttons (so it's no use for alerting you to an uncommanded change), and the LED isn't bright enough to be visible in direct sunlight so I've often had to shade it with my hand in order to check it. Most of the time the LED uses 4 different colours to give you a vague indication of current battery level, but immediately after pressing either the increase or decrease buttons it will switch mode to using the same 4 colours to instead tell you the e-assist level, then go back to battery level after a few seconds. So in order to check your e-assist level you have to press one of the buttons that changes it.

The whole thing is just excessively and needlessly overloaded, and should instead have at least two LEDS (brighter ones) or, better yet, two LED or LCD bar-graph displays.

The intended solution to this poor UI/UX is either using an ANT+ cycle computer (and Mahle will happily sell you their own) or the Mahle app running on your phone, but I shouldn't need to add even more electronics to my bike for basic functionality.

While I'm bike posting, a question for anyone with an ebike using the Mahle (formerly ebikemotion) X35 system. Does yours ever spontaneously turn off e-assist uncommanded?

Mine has been doing this occasionally, and I often fail to notice until I've been riding for a while with less e-assist than I intended. It caught me out this morning, turning e-assist off just under 4 minutes in, and when I got to the uphill part of my ride I thought I was changing from Level 2 of 3 to Level 3, but was instead changing from off to Level 1. No wonder I struggled to get up that hill more than normal! I only realised what was going on when I was almost at the top.

New e-bike laws were announced for NSW today. I've written a brief summary of the media coverage for Wikipedia (subject to editing and review of course). Please edit if you find errors.

What do you remember from high school? I share three of my high school memories that still retain power fifty years later—and why.

Hab heute beim kleinen kompetenten Fahrradschraubfachmenschen umme Ecke einen Termin für die Inspektion von zwei Fahrrädern gemacht. Nächster freier Termin: 10. Juni. Konnte mit in den Kalender schauen. Die haben anscheinend echt viel zu tun. Ist ja auch gut irgendwie. Und sie scheinen wohl auch nicht so viel falsch zu machen. #ebike #bike #fahrrad

Pues hemos comprado una bici eléctrica de #Momabikes con capacidad extra para dos personitas. En concreto es una #Compactail

El montaje ha sido sencillo y ahora sólo falta equiparla con sillas y buscarnos unos cascos.

No he visto mucha información sobre ella en la web, así que si alguien tiene dudas/interés, respondo preguntas #AMA.

Si alguien se lo está planteando, está súper rebajada ahora mismo :masto_face_with_rolling_eyes:

A driver of a horse and cart in #Chingford East #London has been #arrested by #MetPol following a fatal #collision with an #ebike rider..

The charge of "wanton and furious driving" is one of the earliest road #traffic offences, dating back from days long before the motor car and speed limits..
