[QUOTE="Bada-Bing!, post: 1172378, member: 70552"] Can you clarify? The only downside I thought is that it’s not as efficient as a chain. Apparently it’s around 85% efficiency rating (on cargo e-bikes). A rolhoff on the other hand (v. Expensive) I’ve read has a 94.5% efficiency. My Enviolo has an equivalent gear range of 380%. Not quite as great on the high gears - on a flat I touch speeds of just over 16mph and the motor stops assisting at 15.5mph. But that’s fine - fast enough for me and I am only looking for that extra oomph going up hills and I can change to lower gears whilst peddling but still need to ease off slightly. I still get the work out and enjoy the ride more. [/QUOTE]
