A high-performance gravel bike, but limited over long distances<\/h2>\n
Beforeelectrification<\/strong>, Camille owned a Marin Bikes Nicasio, a gravel bike<\/strong> designed to tackle roads, paths and trails. Robust and versatile, her bike was well suited to the varied terrain she traverses every day. However, without assistance, some slopes became painful, and the long daily distances led to significant fatigue, which she felt as the weeks went by. <\/p>\n Faced with the need to optimize her commute while keeping her favorite bike frame, Camille opted for a bike conversion<\/strong> rather than the purchase of a new electric bike. This alternative to a new EAB<\/strong> enabled her to keep the handling and geometry of her gravel bike, while gaining motorized support for climbs and relaunches. The idea of a customized electric bike<\/strong> tailored precisely to his needs motivated his decision. <\/p>\n After comparing several options, she chose the UrbanExplorer Z2electric bike kit<\/strong><\/a>, which she then customized with the more powerful TSDZ8 motor. This TSDZ8 engine<\/strong> offers high torque, ideal for hill-climbing on mixed terrain. It has been paired with the Hailong 720 Wh battery<\/strong><\/a>battery, chosen for its 720Wh electric bike range<\/strong> in everyday use. All this makes up the PowerTrail Z8<\/strong> kit, perfectly suited to the intensive uses of the velotaf<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Camille followed the instructions provided by Syklo and was able to install her easy-to-install gravel bike electric kit<\/strong> without any major difficulty. She replaced the original crankset with the TSDZ8 motor<\/strong>, then attached the battery to the downtube of her frame. All in an afternoon. For her,easy installation<\/strong> was one of the key advantages of this solution. The transformation was much simpler than she had imagined. <\/p>\n Since theelectrification of<\/strong> thegravel bike<\/strong>, its routes have become much more efficient. She uses intermediate assistance levels, which means excellent range<\/strong>. Despite her 20 km daily gradients, she only recharges the battery every two or three days. This VAE for velotafs<\/strong> meets all her expectations. She feels she retains a good share of the physical effort, while benefiting from very appreciable support on climbs. In her opinion, the TSDZ8 velotaf motor<\/strong> is perfectly suited to natural, progressive riding. <\/p>\n For Camille, this electric bike conversion<\/strong> has become the best way to make her journeys smoother and less restrictive. She wouldn’t go back. Having an electric bike for mixed roads with gradients<\/strong> enables her to maintain this mode of transport on a daily basis, even when the weather or fatigue are a problem. She recommends this solution to all those who want to convert their road bike to electric<\/strong> without compromise and with real freedom of choice. <\/p>\n A bike-owner converts her gravel bike to cope with 20 km of daily gradients thanks to the TSDZ8 motor and Hailong 720 Wh battery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":34766,"template":"","class_list":["post-34767","temoignages","type-temoignages","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/syklo.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/temoignages\/34767","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/syklo.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/temoignages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/syklo.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/temoignages"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/syklo.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/34766"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/syklo.fr\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=34767"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Why Camille chose to electrify her bike<\/h2>\n
