My ebikes claimed range is 80 miles so I tested it in turbo all of the time up some steep hills, night riding using integrated lights and a bit of off road and I still got 38 miles before it cut off the power. I think that was pretty good.

Thanks for the comment Vince! Are there any particular e-bike videos you'd like to see us do next?

All interesting stuff, and most is general for any bike. Unless I fundamentally misunderstand the drive train system, only the mid-mounted motor increases strain on it. A rear or front hub motor actually reduces strain, as long as the pedals are turning, (level of force determined by you) the motor assists, meaning your legs are the only strain on the crank chain and gears, with hub gears being the exception. I prefer mid and rear hub, I've not tried a front hub motor but have misgivings about leaning, turning/steering, and being pulled along from the front wheel all at the same time, that said your Bromptons seem to do just fine.

Many e-bike batteries have a chip inside which allows the manufacturer to see how cold, how hot and how many times a battery has been charged. This information goes to the manufacturer during firmware updates. This could sometimes be used as a loop hole for the manufacturer to refuse a warranty claim if it could be shown the owner mishandled the battery. Another practice to never exercise is installing devises or tampering with the speed sensor to increase to speed of the bike over intended speeds. Doing this can also be detected by the manufacturer and would completely void the warranty on all electrical drive train components.

Yes, I think most of us get that, but remember when you have complied with all that the response will often be thats wear and tear or a design fault, which kind of puts u off such an expensive purchase.

Is that a digital pump and if so what make? What pressure do you use on your Brompton ebike? A most helpful vlog and thanks.

Very good! When do you use dry lube vs wet lube on your chain? What are the conditions where dry/wet lube work better?
@Foster_B3 жыл бұрын
Alan Loo wet lube and dry lube are practically the same performance wise. Wet lubes stay on for longer in wet environments so that’s usually what I use.

Would moving the brake lever to that position not make it more difficult to brake harder in an emergency?

Sounds a silly question but does the motor realise how steep the incline is ,I ask this because on my pure step through it really powers up when the incline is steep. Great feelingbcruising up a big incline.

Question about the Specialized vado SL... is that battery removable?
@RidePureElectric3 жыл бұрын
Hi, thanks for your question! The Specialized Vado SL battery is integrated and cannot be removed for charging. It has to be charged on the bike. Thanks, Team Pure

I had a bike that wouldn’t even get to its lower specified range under its lowest power setting, I struggled to get 12 miles out of it. I sent it back.

One thing you don't mention is the eye watering price of mid-motor bikes. Why do they cost so much?

Hi Steve, thanks for the comment. You might find this excellent article from our friends at BikeRadar interesting. www.bikeradar.com/features/long-reads/pandemic-brexit-bike-prices/
@stevetaylor86983 жыл бұрын
@@RidePureElectric I am sure Brexit has added a little to prices but even before Brexit/covid, electric bicycles were extortionate. I come from a motorcycle background and a far more intricately engineered 125cc motorcycle is at least a thousand pounds cheaper than a mid-motor bicycle.

It'd be best business practice on the part of ebike manufacturers to test bikes under worst case scenarios. Bulky clothing, full packs up long hills in the wind, rain. Living in a hilly, cold area, that is the cold month norm, for me.
@RidePureElectric3 жыл бұрын
Hi, thanks for the comment. We'd suggest the problem with that method is it isn't standardised. e.g. the worst case scenario for one person will be different to another, due to the many variables involved.

What tires do you use on the Vado SL in winter?
@RidePureElectric2 жыл бұрын
Hi! The choice is completely up to you if you wish to change the tyres - however if you wish for the tyres to have more 'tread' you can check out tyres in a 700 x 38c ⚡
