@souknaysh: if you’re a Euro, 11:00-3:00

Sadly, no big droppers on this frame with the charge port right there on the seat tube. Huge mistake on their part doing that.

@Bunabe: the Shimano motor is the most efficient at lower power modes. Even better than Levo/Kenevo SL, Bosch and Brose. At full torque it’s about the same, depending on bike kinematic. I own an Orbea Rise and I have done 3,230m, 80km with two Range extender (360wh + 504 wh) in 5.5 hours. I have done 2,900m, 70km on a Pole Voima with 2 750wh batteries in 4.5 hours. The EP8 was way more efficient in my testing. It depends on the bike

Torque has EXO+, 2.6” rear tire and this has DD rear tire

Someone buying a $15k bike probably isn’t touching a shovel

@hi-dr-nick: 120tpi EXO+ or 60tpi EXO+? 120 sucks and is worse than regular EXO. 60 is the exact same casing as EXO but feels a bit more supportive and less likely to squirm. 60tpi EXO+ makes a wonderful front tire in most cases

@jgusta: the TQ is very efficient in low and middle modes. It’s just when you use it in Boost it drains very fast. It’s like comparing MPEG’s between a smaller 2.0L 4cyl engine running at 8000rpm (TQ) vs a larger V8 engine running at 4000rpm (EP8RS) which is not the max power of the V8 that can easily Rev to 6000rpm for much more power than the 4cyl. Now running that 4cyl at 2000-4000rpm, it will be way more efficient. TQ is the smallest and when you use max boost, it’s just not as efficient. I also can get 4500’ on an EXE in about 3:05 moving time in mixed Eco and trail on super steep sections. But I got 5950’ on a same size battery Rise in 3:20 doing the same trail when I did my own Range test. On my Voima 750wh, I’ve done 6800’ in 2:05 moving time . Longest ride to date is with the Rise with 2 252wh range extender, did 10,600’ but ran out at 10,400’, this was 5:40 moving time

TQ is an energy hog on Boost. Get 3200’ on a Rise in full boost with 360wh, 3000’ on a Levo SL with 320wh, 2400’ on a EXE, 4000’ on a Shuttle. TQ is the worst

@og-squid-mtb: Yes, if u pick free shipping from USPS, it’s 100% free. If you do expedited shipping with DHL, you pay Duty. I’m in Southern California. Mine is a frame only, Mullet build, +1 deg angleset, 356mm BB height, handles and corners on rails as a mullet and still eats up all bumps.
