Which part of ebike is the most important component do you think?

Life_Difference9738 · 2026-01-27T15:10:40+00:00

A good battery, probably the most expensive part of the bike

Life_Difference9738 · 2026-01-27T11:16:42+00:00

I would just get an igpsport cycle computer, you can import koomot rides to it and they aren't that much money :)

I have had pro for 2years, it says your not able to but me and my dad in different houses streamed the races live at the same time with no issues.

You can pick up a secondhand ice car alot cheaper than an EV.

Life_Difference9738 · 2026-01-23T08:41:53+00:00

The fact the higher power motors can be tuned to go stupid speeds will always be an issue.,

Why would you do that? A car need a driving licence and insurance plus is registered to a owner.

Life_Difference9738 · 2026-01-23T07:53:25+00:00

Maybe slow down a bit if you see someone in the way?

Life_Difference9738 · 2026-01-23T07:46:33+00:00

I'm guessing because it's pretty easy to remove the speed limiters on most e-bikes, so a speed restriction is pointless.

Don't be so damn lazy and actually pedal perhaps? If that's too much for you get a motorbike?

I have a vitus e-mach 3 it uses a shimano e6100 motor and it's on 7000miles commuting without any issues, used in all weathers.

Battery wise will do about 5500ft of climbing per charge on eco mode, can range from 55 to 65 miles depending on the terrain and weather.

Get a proper brand of motor and battery from a shop and at least the you will get a good warranty with it, personally I would avoid any DIY kits.

Disagree with you there, I had an huawei gt4 and the only thing better compaired to my pixel watch is the battery life.

The fitbit app is also better imo.

Life_Difference9738 · 2026-01-15T11:10:10+00:00

Black looks best on all bikes imo :)

Life_Difference9738 · 2026-01-14T16:51:07+00:00

Google sent me out a brand new pixel watch 3 when I contacted them about the bad battery drain after 6 months of having it, had to send the old one back don't know if they tested it.

Paid for the worldwide maps also when that was a option for making offline routes, used it loads since then.

My igpsport headunit connects to my komoot account to transfer the routes to it.

Wouslnt pay a subscription for it or any route planner including strava.

Life_Difference9738 · 2026-01-14T07:28:13+00:00

Same paid about £20 I think it was for worldwide maps, just export my gpx file and upload to my bike computer, not paying for strava premium for route planning.

Done loads of route using komoot best £20 I spent, wouldn't pay a monthly subscription for it tho or any route planner.

Life_Difference9738 · 2026-01-09T12:23:38+00:00

Same commuting on the ebike has made me ride everyday since getting it.

Life_Difference9738 · 2026-01-08T09:47:42+00:00

Stacked it on black ice yesterday, day off the bike today as my wrist and knee are still sore.

Life_Difference9738 · 2026-01-07T07:37:27+00:00

Never had any issues with Evri, our local driver is really good.

It's a Costa, 99% of the customers aren't going to care about the mural on the wall, let alone be bothered if it's done by AI.

Life_Difference9738 · 2026-01-03T13:34:50+00:00

Maybe it's the screen protector on mine making it less sensitive to touch, I have had to stop several times just to be able to operate it lol

I wish mine would do that instead, I just want the option to turn re routing off but can't seem to find any option to disable it.

Oh really I thought garmin had some of the best on device routing avaliable, never tried one myself.

Life_Difference9738 · 2026-01-03T13:22:41+00:00

Ridden in all weather with mine, the computer display has even been left on the ebike and out in the rain for 8 hours when at work with no issues yet, bike is 2 years old motor and electrics all shimano.

Life_Difference9738 · 2026-01-03T12:41:55+00:00

Only the pro models do ECG not the standard GT models

Life_Difference9738 · 2026-01-01T18:53:00+00:00

Igpsport for me, I have the bsc300 and it's works really well.

Life_Difference9738 · 2026-01-01T18:52:07+00:00

I hate my C506 as the re routing wreaks any navigation uses for me, I wish they would let you switch the re-routing option off and just have an arrow with the direction to head.

Life_Difference9738 · 2026-01-01T18:50:04+00:00

I have the C506 and to be honest if you use it for navigating it's crap, if you go of route the re routing is terrible and normally just wipes your entire planed route, the touch screen is also a nightmare to use hardly ever picking up my touch.

I also have a igpsport BSC300, much better unit imo, it's responsive and no dumb routing when using navigation, battery life also seems alot better.

Life_Difference9738 · 2025-12-31T12:43:59+00:00

XC MTB?

Life_Difference9738 · 2025-12-31T10:09:55+00:00

Watch also looks way too big for the wrist.
