This bike is so uncomfortable. The seat is painful, the ride position makes you put all your weight on your wrists, and their no suspension! I can't wait to trade it in.

Glad I watched this. I wasn't sure about the Raddler but I think it will be perfect after watching this.

I guess I misunderstood from my understanding that those are high-rise not flat bars, but I guess I get what you’re saying. Normally flat bars are very low rise.

What a beauty ! Was thinking about this bike or the Taiga Exp…I am a bit shorter 5’7 ish with 29 inseam, looking at a small.
@thegravelist 22 күн бұрын
Nice! Can’t speak on the taiga, but this bike was amazing. I wish I had sized down, the bike felt a bit big. And I lean toward riding smaller bikes. Let me know if you choose this one!

Thanks for this video. I'm wondering about access to the water bottle while cycling? Is it easy in and out of the bottle holder or does the bag get in the way?
@thegravelist 22 күн бұрын
Yeah… well enough. It gets in the way as far as sliding it up and down. But if you get a side sliding bottle cage, it would be fine

I recently picked up the Marin Kentfield 2, and I wonder what's the difference is between these two bikes? I'm fully aware that this is a step up with every component, but why is this a "flat bar gravel bike", and the Kentfield a "hybrid"? They look similar, perhaps the Kentfield slightly more relaxed. I'd like to know if this is just marketing slang or a real difference. Thanks!
@thegravelist 22 күн бұрын
Probably a mix of both. My understanding is that hybrid bikes are, like you mentioned, more slack, little more upright and might not take as big as tires. Toss them into a geometry compare tool. I like bikeinsight!

The build I had was 160. They may have changed the fork that gets shipped with them now… 160 was overkill, 150 sounds spot on for this type of bike.

Great video........I bought a T1ST model about a year ago, and I am adding mtb bars, wider tires, and a comfort touring seat so off-road trails will be easier to deal with. I'm very pleased with the products from Velotric.

Sorry but do you really have experiance, because when I listen to your comments you have still a lot too learn. Every rider knows that you must jump or overtake when you can. One line or 2 doesn't matter if you are really that fast you can always overtake.......i didn't want too by offencief.
@paulmarc-aurele5508 4 ай бұрын
I ordered the T1 ST plus in a large. I test Rod a medium at a LBS and it felt a little too small for me.(5’11”) The new plus series has more range, came in a large and has a display which is far superior to the buttons IMO, in addition 70 miles of range but 3 pounds heavier which is a good trade off. This will be my first E-bike, during the last 5 years after retirement I have 15K on a pedal bike and am finding the hills are getting a little more difficult. When I tested the T1 ST I rode it up a decent hill and it was just enough of a boost to make the hill enjoyable. I also pedaled on the flats with zero assistance and it was just like a normal bike. The only thing I might add is a suspension stem which on my Giant Toughroad made the bike extremely comfortable on gravel and rough surfaces.

I had a 2013 Cannondale CX4 hybrid bike for ten years. Decided to upgrade, then realized I could just rebuild to THIS! I put a full Deore groupset, four piston brakes, xt rotors, 35mm riser stem, flat bar with 5dg backsweep, suspension seat post, WTB Saddle, rockshox air suspension fork, Ergonomic grips, WTB Raddler 44mm(widest tires QR frame would fit),. Its AWESOME! All Parts Cost me just about $600 online, lil by lil as I transitioned all parts myself.! THE MOST FUN I EVER HAD! I love the Marin, but adding suspension for this OLD Man was a must, plus a more upright position. You can build this bike easily from any hybrid bike you probably already have and customize to your liking.

Thanks for this awesome video! Such a compelling all-in-one do-everything bike! Curious, you mention there is plenty of room for bigger tires. However, it appears the stock 45 tires fill out that fork. Do you think more tire could fit in there? Thanks again for the video!

Love the color way,all the mounting points and that impressive tire clearance. Great review and “shake out” ride! I’m starting to think about getting a newer geo gravel frame and building up a retro XC mountain bike because the numbers are starting to merge. I’ve seen some smaller frame builders that are doing this already with a flat bar gravel and a mullet drive train. Why not, life is full of possibilities!

2nd season on my Katahdin and still on a honeymoon!! Reactive, stable, robust, fast! Capable of single track trail, and absolutely fun bikepacking! Had the chance to go directly to Panorama's shop to get it and talk with the awesome people over there!! Love this bike! Mine's built on 650b wheels and 47mm wide tires, which I wasn't too sure at first, but I believe it is a more fun bike that way. Don't get me wrong, it is a serious bike!

not bad, but not as good as BoodaBike. Disc brake + sliding dropout will never be good toghether. If you have an FM fork use FM brakes not ugly big adapters. For Gravel Alu is a no go. Cromo or carbon.
