  • Often times people are used to their city bikes that they never did any maintenance on and assume a 7000Eurobuck cargo bike thats fully integrated with electric everything must be even easier then that. IF not what are you paying for?

    Yeah totally. Paying £7k for a bike is total fucking madness but that's where are. I try not to think too hard about what we paid for our Shadow (Steps + Enviolo + Magura), think it was about half that, and even that felt a bit mad.

    Just waiting for the hub to explode. Then it will get Rohloff and I'll be even poorer!

  • Yeah i have been thinking about upgrading to a rohloff for a while. It’s completely unnecessary(mostly use 3-4 gears max on the lowest 2 assist settings) but I still want it. Problem is the nexus the bike came with does not seem to want to die, no matter how many times I shit shift it it just keeps going.

  • ;) thats probably a good thing! points for shimano!

  • If you aren’t limited by the gear range on the nexus I would happily keep using it until it breaks :)

  • This is great to hear- my Enviolo gearing isn't working and the bike shop recommended a Nexus hub which seemed like good value. I think that's what we need to do.
