E-bikes are a thing

They make white MTB shoes too. 😂

You're right. I googled. You got a pair? 🤪

I called it. This is now the winter shoes thread.

@Norm, it's time to ban @Jeremy.

Wait. Before you ban me, here’s my white MTB shoes!

Spin class clean!

I haven’t worn them yet

Shopping for new Five Ten Freeriders last week, I got these for half price probably because they're white. I plan on turning them brown.

I hope those are comfortable for the MSRP... 😳

If I used those, they would be mud colored in 5 minutes.🙁

I though I was the only crazy one with white mountain bike shoes.

Interesting comment...

class 1 ebike, ride first gear only, 2000 ft elevation overall, will it go farther in miles with a 38 tooth front sprocket instead of a 28 tooth sprocket?

If your cadence is the same, yes.

 

[Kaleidopete]

If your cadence is the same, yes.

one more factor, if the battery starts at 100% and depletes to 0 in 38 miles using the 28 tooth sprocket,
will it also deplete in 38 miles with the 38 tooth sprocket, if your cadence is the same you'll just get there faster?

That probably depends on the assistance level more than anything else. You’ll more than likely need to run more assist to spin the bigger gear.

I'm thinking the distance will suffer the faster you go, nothing is free, watts get eaten up, speed will increase, distance will suffer.

Not sure if your bike has an App but in the Specialized App you can tell it to max out the wattage for a distance and it’ll run at whatever that is. I used to set my Vado at 15miles with 50% battery so it could make my commute both ways.

Your battery supplies energy.

Energy is depleted as a.squate of the velocity.

You boost your input based on settings.

You got the cadence q right.

Given the same cadence, without assistance, you'd be supplying more watts. So if energy assistance was the same you'd go farther.

But real world, input+boost, probably isn't going to change much given the cut out speed.

Looking at the edge, if we could pedal 20mph, the battery would never engage and last forever

Or just ride downhill and walk all the climbs. 😁
