Range is also about battery size. The bigger the battery, or multiple
batteries, the longer the range - all other things being equal. That is one
of the advantages of the mid drive, the range is mostly limited by the size
of your wallet. if you want more range, you simply pay for it by buying

understand them, it's a motorbike you pedal along with. I like them for

It does not in my opinion. The ride may have been improved slightly,
honest. It’s like a magic carpet ride.

Thanks.
Does that fork change the handling of the bike in any way that you can
easily notice?

Thanks, Joe and "J"; I'll store this information away for the day I have to
decide what to choose. Good to know that at least a few electric assist
systems can eke out 40 miles -- it wouldn't be worth my while to get
anything that couldn't do that distance.
Joe, good point about fixing flats and
I’ve got the bbshd on a Appaloosa frame. I don’t know exact mileage but I
think that depends on battery and terrain. I’d think my setup could do 40
miles on a full charge, but like Joe said it’s all relative to your power
setting also. I bought a mighty mini chain ring to keep the motor
Patrick,
My memory is a little vague now in total distance potential with the BBSHD
mid-drive, but I was getting 35 miles with juice left to get home on the
lower setting (lower is all you need, that sucker is FAST).
As pertains to a dynohub, one thing I particularly like about mid-drives is

Again, thanks for all the suggestions. I fully reserve the right to change

They're only $1,700 base price. Probably a couple hundred more with any

could go cheaper maybe??

Rintendo in Osaka, Japan has made a steam-engine powered bike.

I'm skeptical about its cost-efficiency, though.
The website is in Japanese, but I put the description in DeepL Translator,
Gaak! I'll just drive my car, thank you. After all, I drive far less than
500 miles a year in a 15-year-old car, so my carbon traces are far smaller
than those of most travelers.

Those conversions are all fine and dandy, but I test rode the Cake Osa, and
it is the future.

I will be getting one sometime in the next few years for sure.
