Other than that, absolutely fantastic piece of equipment. AFAIK no contest in terms of watts you'll get out of your dynohub. May not be robust enough to tolerate frequent disassemblies. I've "pivoted" to the battery bank strategy and minimal energy consumption. But may well reinstall the Forumslader this summer-where-we-can't-ride-far-anyway.
Hi Gauvins,
did yours come assembled or........? I seem to remember early adopters self assembling.
And how much did your version cost excluding shipping?
I've been very happy with my E-werk since about 2011, if memory serves, but I'd consider a Forumslader should the E-werk suffer a terminal failure.
