Just catching up on the saga of your Clem with Copenhagen Wheel. When my wife
wanted to add Pedal Assist to her Betty Foy I wanted the CW. Too early, it
wasn’t ready for market. Then they said No to 650B wheels. That killed it for
us. Went with a mid drive and rear rack battery. System
I received notice that my Black Friday purchased Copenhagen wheel shipped and
is going to be delivered on Tuesday.
I’ve been looking at these for awhile, then Joe comes along and makes it to
hard to resist. I plan to install it on my Cheviot. I’ll give ya my impressions
once I get some miles
I'd have to go reverse on those bikes: orange frame, black (maybe blue) bags.
The bag was called a camera bag by Rivelo, I don't know RandiJo's stuff so
don't know if it's part of that line of bags.

Those Ortliebs would be even more spectacular on an orange Appaloosa or
Susie/Wolbis!
Is that a Bartender Plus bag from Rivelo?

I thought my mid-drive Clem L 52cm was a smidge flexier, but that could be down
to it being a longer frame. We can take into account me being more used to it
now, too: on today's ride with the bags loaded up with groceries it flexed a
bit and didn't bother me a bit.

Looks good. Joe, do you think a mid-drive kit would reduce or increase Clem L
flex?

Joe,
That’s a sweet looking bike you got there. I built up a Clem for my wife
earlier this year, and am so impressed with how it rides. Would love to
experience what a Coppenhagen-equipped bike feels like, especially with your
glowing review. Glad to hear it’s checking all your boxes, and
Haha, I almost had the wheel sold a couple times before I had found any
26-incher Rivs to mount it to. It's off the market now, I'm riding it! ♂️

Joe,
The bike looks awesome and, even better, I think it is exactly the bike you
want! I do hope you'll enjoy it for a long while before Ryan takes it off
your hands. ;)
Perhaps you can use your expertise helping others in your neighborhood
electrify their bikes thru a co-cop or bike
Actually Joe your vision has been brilliant. Any Rivendell makes a great
Copenhagen wheel pedal assist conversion for the following reasons. They are
beautiful and well designed bikes by Grant and company that perform
masterfully. They all (other than the Hubbuhubbuh) are rim brake only as
You're right, Ryan, this whole thing is ridiculous and I shall GIVE you my
Copenhagen Wheel SO YOU CAN HAVE ONE ON YOUR BOMBADIL TO GO WITH THE ONE ON
YOUR QUICKBEAM

I disagree with Ash completely. Looks awkward, That big red rear wheel looks
ridiculous and clown 嵐 like. I am sure this bike will not last long before you
are off on your next hair brained
e-modification project. Also no demand for 26” e-wheels so you will need to
take a big loss when you
Thanks Ash! It's kind of crazy how well it's come together almost by accident.
This started as a 26" e-wheel I bought for a recumbent, then I decided that it
(bents) just weren't going to work out for me. So I posted a WTB here for a
45cm Clem and got nothing, but an All Rounder popped up so I
This is such a practical build. I've been starting at these pictures for
last 10 mins. It is so well configured. Handlebar position/height, seat
nose lift, drive train, fenders, pedals.. they all seem just perfect! I
feel that this one will stay in your stable way longer than past few
Tom: I'm not familiar with it, but the reviews I just read present it as a
fairly basic and common front hub system that tops out at a UK enforced 15.5
mph. It uses cadence not torque-sensing, so the power is either on or not..it's
not reacting to human inputs beyond getting the pedals
joe, have you or anyone looked at the british Cytronex system? it's a
front wheel version of the copenhagen wheel that seems lighter and perhaps
more range, and is reviewed well in british bike mags...costs about a
thousand buckstom hortonand yes to the red wheel!
On Thursday,
+1 for what Ash said:
”Indeed! The red bag you had on in one of the pictures goes very well with the
wheel color.

Clem is definitely the best candidate out there for electrification. The
most ergonomic, comfortable, durable and practical utility bike with some
power
Laing: Yes, they make 26" and 700C. There's also a singlespeed version for 120
dropouts like Quickbeam.

Do they make a 700c wheel? - The red would go well on a Betty Foy.

With the wheel, I actually liked the look with the red bag you had
originally on it (and that is from someone with all black bags). To me it
says "I'm accessorizing with red."

Indeed, Ryan, one thing I like about its extreme noticeability is I don't feel
like I'm lying when I pass some poor carbon roadie wondering why that old guy
on a step-thru just blew by him. The wheel says "I have a motor, I'm not trying
to pull one over on you, Lance!"

Joe,
I agree with Roberta it definitely looks like it belongs on the Clem L. The
red is definitely attention generating initially I thought a more subdued color
would be desired.
Now the color symbolizes for me that the owner is a bike lover first but open
to enhancing their riding
Thanks, Roberta! I appreciate this more than you know because I've been
struggling with how the wheel looks. Not enough to remove it - I'm not crazy!
(some would disagree) - but it's so RED. I'll work on seeing it with your eyes

I really like the look of that wheel with the Clem L--those two belong
together, even more than the wheel with the All Rounder.
Happy riding,

Hi Kiley!
Yes, I think Clem is an excellent Riv for a project like this, but really any
model with v-brakes and moderately stout tubes will do. It's a significant
weight and power gain, so I would lean towards bikes designed at the outset for
full loads.

Hey, Joe: This is so cool! It is still on my "to do" list and I will get it
done in the next couple of years. Thank you for all the investigative work;
I doubt I would attempt it without your pioneering. The Clem is still the
best Riv bike to 'electrify', yes? -Kiley
P.S. I came back to the
Used. I got it from a guy selling on Bentrider Online.

Btw, a disclaimer: I like motorbikes as Grant calls them and know they aren't
classically bicycles, it's a different thing. I also like Rivendells better
than any other bicycles, they do everything I like and nothing I don't. So
sometimes I combine the two things into a Rivendell motorbike, and
Hi Ian,
Yes, it's the most "bicycle like" of all the systems I've messed with, and I've
messed with a bunch. The motor, controller and battery are all in the hub so
there's no hassle with finding places to mount things, and no wires ziptied to
the frame. You power on with a switch on the
Looking good, Joe, especially properly dressed with fenders. I am curious about
the Copenhagen wheel. From what I understand it is entirely self-contained, app
controlled and pedal assist only. Seems like almost the perfect electric
bicycle solution. It remains a bicycle, albeit a bionic
Yes I know I need to cut the stays on the rear fender. I've already kicked them
like you do when a car has a trailer hitch sticking out. OW!
