I love(d) mine and I'm missing it greatly as it got passed along to my 82
year old father who's have a blast on his Copenhagenized Clem.
My commute went away with COVID as well.
IMHO they're excellent for everything you can do in less then 10 miles,
15-20 if you're more judicious about using a
Thank you Sam for this post. This is currently on my mind.
My friends insisted on a clutch derailer, and then, better than insisting,
a friend gave me one (I reciprocated to make it a trade :)
So I've been internally himming and hawing over what shifter to run on my
Shimano 11 speed clutch
Paul, these are all good questions, and I wish I could answer
analytically. Joe Bernard's phrase "road-hugging weight" sounds right to
me.
Whether the steering was more controllable with the extra weight--maybe.
An interesting thing about having a pipe sticking out over the front wheel
is that
Yes to all of the above, the Copenhagen Wheel feels very natural since
there is no accelerator button or lever, it just assists as you pedal -
it's weirdly magical.
So there isn't much to control other than the setting in the app which you
do at the beginning of the ride.
I believe Joe
I'll second Alex's take: just the right amount of assist (not too much),
not much range, great for most trips/errands around town. Adds ~16 pounds

1. I have a very hard time myself characterizing frame-related ride
characteristics. That said, here I'm having trouble contrasting "lumbering
feeling on a hilly ride" with "gets smoother with more weight." Also,
Thanks Alex, Jay, and Max. I think I'd like the natural or at least very
simple power transfer, and I'd certainly like the compact package. But 10
mile range, even 20, would be too short for the types of errands I have in
mind, which would be 20 to 35 mile outs-and-backs; say going to the
Oriental
