I don't really understand the arms race in wattage. Current battery energy density limits me to riding in trail mode in order to obtain any reasonable range on my rides. It doesn't do me any good to have 1000w available if I'm only ever riding in the 500w mode to conserve battery life. To me, this just increases the threat of ebike bans where relationships are already strained on many trail networks. It's somewhat expected to see DJI not giving a fuck about US regulations when there are surrons flying all over city streets illegally, but I would have thought...

I almost completely agree with this review of the Narco Sight TQ. I was lucky to get an early sample of this bike and I’ve been riding it for several weeks in all different types of terrain. It has been more fun than any other eBike I’ve ridden. The reason I love this eBike is that it’s fun on any trail and not just the biggest and baddest trails. I’ve been equally impressed by the TQ motor/battery system. It doesn’t try to be a full power system but it’s great at everything full power bikes are bad at. For me...

I've been riding a yet to be released eBike with the TQ60 system, but I set it up much like you have on the TQ40. Mode 1 is set to +100 watts at a 1:1 assistance and Mode 2 is set at +200 watts with a 1:1 assistance. This bike is a bit heavier than the Rallon RS, but has a 580Wh battery. I can pretty much ride all day on that battery if I use Modes 1 & 2. I still have mode 3 at 350 watts and a 1:1 assistance. I'm loving this bike on technical high desert...

Prices are out of this world 😬

-19% German VAT +shipping +15% fascist kingdom tax + local VAT

I don't think this Ai was trained to use synonyms for "more."

Late to this but Escape Collective wrote a whole article about it: https://escapecollective.com/this-isnt-what-it-looks-like/ tl;dr "“This image is actually a GIF that isn’t loading correctly on the website (WIP to fix) that was created to show how we are changing the conventional thought of having a deeper rim profile in the back than in the front towards having a deeper rim profile in the front,” a Specialized spokesperson told me." and "As for AI use, Specialized confirmed that there is “no AI use on our website at all, actually – everything is created by our internal creative team and digital teams.”...

Not MTB, but might as well be. Was scrolling through some shop’s description of an upcoming ski.

judging by Jenson implementing a shop with AI feature and Revel using an AI image for their christmas post... uhhh it's only going to get worse. Strap in, everybody...

Here’s hoping AI thumbnail images and other slop are OUT.

Amfow is making a bike that the vast majority of cyclists want as the bike suits the vast majority of trails people really ride.

Nothing a bribe won’t fix in the current administration.
