Call me when you can. I have just the thing.N+1 has turned to a class 3 gravel bike. Time to unload some human powered bikes.
Anyone here who care to share their opinions.
Not a lot of choices that I can see. Canyon is all that keeps coming up.

Tell me about it. I have a MY21/22 Canyon Grail-on gravel ebike. Supposed to assist to 28 mph but I was pretty sure assistance was cutting out at 20 mph. Canyon said I could take it to an authorized Bosch dealer to have max speed increased. My local Bosch dealer bike shop ran the motor diagnostic and said they could not increase the max speed because the motor is a Performance Line CX (max 20 mph) instead of a Performance Line Speed (max 28 mph). So, not the right motor even though it had a Performance Line Speed badge on it.
From the ride statistics in the diagnostics report, the motor has 1,959 miles on it. I'd keep it in Eco most of the time (lowest assist level) but report says I did 908 of those miles unassisted (so above 20 mph). I was working harder pushing an ebike every time I got over 20 mph, lol.
Anyway, Canyon did the right thing and sent me a new Performance Line Speed motor and reimbursed me for LBS labor to install.
Now I have a perfectly good Bosch Performance Line CX motor, if someone wants to give me 5 clams for it.

Someone has been passed on the climbs by e bikes to many times…🙄The days of the fastest cyclists in the world are from Switzerland must be coming to an end. Can’t get fast with pedal assist.
lol Actually, never. I’m not saying it wouldn’t, it just hasn’t.Someone has been passed on the climbs by e bikes to many times…🙄
if you look @jShort strava numbers he is putting ebike numbers up on his rides, just saying.Someone has been passed on the climbs by e bikes to many times…🙄
lol Actually, never. I’m not saying it wouldn’t, it just hasn’t.
Wait a second, i thought it was so people could go uphill fast!It’s actually pretty hard for an e bike to go uphill as fast as a decent rider. 500ish watts max on a full power so a Cat1 can not only put that effort out, but also do it with 25lbs less bike. The flats are where an e bike will rip by you at 20mph
More without effort, not so fastWait a second, i thought it was so people could go uphill fast!
Jim left out the part where we go uphill where you pedal heads can't. Getting off and pushing is not an option 🤣Wait a second, i thought it was so people could go uphill fast!
He says 500 watts max but that’s just the motor. If the rider can put down 250watts, you are looking at 750 watts. But what ever….Wait a second, i thought it was so people could go uphill fast!

That’s true but you’re also on a bike that’s close to 30 lbs heavier.
I’m game to test this.
That’s crazy. So you go from getting X00 watts assisted, then nothing?the motor cuts out
