Only sort of a bike, but it'll do me ;D

Extremely stable & easy to use, but I'll tell you that 25kph seems fffaaasssttt!!! ;D

Give it couple of weeks and the government will work a way of banning these too.

Got some new wheels.
Light Bicycle WR50 with dt350 hubs, sapim Cx-ray spokes and brass nipples. Hookless rims with no spoke holes, so no rim tape required.
Chucked some 32mm Michelin power road tubeless on em and gave the gravelly a run on the road today.
Not much slower than the roadie and super comfy with the d fuse seatpost and huge tyres.

Wider and low pressure tubeless is making it's way into the pro ranks too, Mathieu van der Poel ran 30s at this year's Paris Roubaix. I've converted a few old timers in the club to low pressure tubeless 28s from latex tubes and 25s. Much more comfortable, heaps more grip and just as fast.

Yeah 28s would be a bit better.
The 32s are wider than the 32ext rim.
Will put front to back when it wears out and put a 28 on the front at least.

Sorry if this has been discussed before, but question for all of you, especially anybody who e-bikes.

What do you do about insurance ???

I believe it would have to be covered under H&C insurance as a Specified item, is that right ???

What sort of $ do you get charged for what value bike ???

Can't help there but I would be talking to your insurance company and finding out if they cover bikes of any description.  ;)

We've got a couple of bikes on our policy, being my wife's carbon roadie and my mountain bike, total insured value about $6k, and it added about $350/year with Allianz

There's also Bikesure, Velosure, and a few other bike specific insurers out there

We have accidental damage cover on our contents. That includes my bikes at home and when riding, not racing. I don't have to list them if they're under $10K, just provide a receipt in the event of a claim.

Are they also covered for theft while you're out ???

It was very interesting watching how much it changes and when. The all out kick for a half hearted try at a sprint surprised me with it going over the 1000w, considering how fatigued I am at the moment.  :o It would seem that I have plenty to learn from this toy.  ;D

Set it to display 3 second average, that takes a lot of the spikes out but leaves it quick enough to respond.

Once you build up enough data your power curve can show you very interesting data. You can see where the flat spots and dips are which gives you areas to focus training on.

Yeah, it's set for 3sec display.
