Think the tuning is for amount of torque per power setting.

Try covering the bar end not your hands, then you just need light gloves. I use Bar Mitts from https://barmitts.com/, ride most days without gloves, light Thinsulate types if it's really cold - when I'm probably not riding anyway! Tried to attach photo but rejected because too big to process.

I am a flat magnet; the goatherds lie in wait and jump into the path in front of me, like the nails, screws and various fragments of glass and wood and plastic. I also live in a bike shop desert and have physical limits that keep me from fixing my own flats, costs $80 for transport to shop. So...

Did you try custom tuning the torque settings? Just seems to me that with that many options I should be able to find a combo that will work for me. or for her.

My Velo D1 got stolen so I'm in the market for a new bike, riding a low-end Amazon special for transport in the interim and hoping nothing breaks. I'm looking at a D2, and the Ride1Up Vorsa with similar features caught my eye. The D2 would basically be $2k out the door from a semi-local...

My routine for a STOP was always 1. Lock bike 2. Remove helmet, etc. 3. Recheck lock is securely locked. 4. Leave In such a hurry I skipped 3, the most important step. I was really happy with the D1, like the improvements Velotric made so the D2 is most likely - but it will take 5-6 me months...

My Velotric Discover 1 was set up just the way I wanted, Jones H-Bar 2.5 Loop, Suntour suspension seat post, Tannus Armor/slime in tires/tubes, front and rear baskets. And a nice Foldylock. And it was stolen while I was at Dr ofc. Looking at video it appears I didn't secure it properly. Dude...

Tons of Rad bikes on FB Marketplace for $5-800, thinking about picking one up. I don't drive, travel by e-bike for 6+ years. I had a Velotric I loved but it was stolen, I'm poor and could only afford a $450 36v bike from Amazon, it's less than ideal Wondering if I should risk battery probs...

"Final" Colo rebate application period opens Feb 12th.

How do we handle replacing batteries? Are we limited to buying from dealer, if they're still in business? Can a rebuilder get any sort of certification, if they have exp, use industry-standard materials, etc? There is a rebuilder in Denver meets that definition, does rebuilds cheaper than...

https://www.bikelaneuprising.com/shop Excellent stuff.

Has a good reputation around Denver.

Purchased from a dealer. I don't drive, have no convenient way to deliver it 20 miles to my dealer's service center.

Did decide to go with a mobile service, but it was still a compromise because they, understandably, have minimum charges that exceed cost of a flat repair. As to the advice that I do more maintenance I suggest that, at 80 and recently out of 2-wk hospital stay I'm pretty well able to judge my...

I moved in May, wanted to find a new lbs because my seller became far away. Only 2 nearby, and both have refused to work on my Magnum Metro. Both cited their insurance. One said it was due to non-UL battery, the other because my bike had a throttle. In both cases I was inquiring about mechanical...
