I liked the mid-drives although this has a lot to do with the monster hill I was living on at the time. I'm probably not a good source for reviews now cuz I kinda soured on the whole thing; if I got back into it now I would buy a dedicated ebike and leave the Rivs to pedalers. Which you

Hey Patrick, Yeah, its all in all pretty easy to get set up and going, and it would be easy to remove and return to just a regular bicycle. The Kit actually came with the hub motor already prebuilt into a wheel. If you are savvy I suppose you could unlace the rim and build the hub into a

There is no question there will be a Roaduno Complete in early 2024 that you will be able to purchase, and that bike will be both simple and a single speed. Another bike that meets both those criteria (simple and singlespeed) is the Public V1.

Looks like you're good there, Stephen, 250W is pretty mellow. Yes it's the torque that would concern me with a more powerful hub motor; no bad experiences (I used 250W on an Appaloosa), I just try not to be too crazy with slim fork blades not designed with a motor in mind. Most front-hub-motor

Those are indeed beautiful track ends; the prettiest I've seen. I do think however that long horizontals are more practical in that wheel removal is at least a bit easier and -- if you use them -- fender fitting is a bit easier. But yes, for pretty those win the prize. And agree that verticals are
