Hi, I'm just adding to this thread rather than creating a new one to see if anyone has a recommendation for a carrier that will securely take 2 x Leisure (1 of which is a Step). We have a 2019 RAV4 with a trailer hitch.
Now that we're well into a new season I wanted to update you all on the problems I experienced (see earlier in this thread if interested). After we had a local bike shop fit a new controller (Rize covered the cost fully), we have had no further problems at this stage. So far this year it's been...
To balance up all my feedback I have to say that when the bike is working I absolutely love it.
If the new controller fixes everything, and I don't have to depend on customer service, I really expect to be happy with my purchase. It seems like the bike is well built. The battery is a monster...
When they originally requested photo evidence of the problem, I asked them what would hypothetically happen if it was a mechanical problem that couldn't really be shown by a photo.
They stated that NO mechanical issues would be covered. So that policy is something that potential buyers should...
Yes, this is true. No problems with the Leisure Step so far. However, I should add that my wife has used her's considerably less than I have at this stage.
Well it happened!
I did a number of short runs. No problem.
Then yesterday evening went with my wife out on the trails (she has Rize Step with no problems so far). We stopped by a lake in the middle of nowhere. I didn't turn the controller off out of fear it might fail, but after our 10 minute...
True. But it's considerably better as an option than having no option.
I'm not anticipating that I'll be so far off-road that I couldn't peddle a few miles to a road. For my riding intent the problem would be more that I get stuck with 30 miles of uphill roads to get home. At least if I can...
UPDATE: I advised Rize that my connectors all appeared to be sound.
They have since offered a solution to my concern about getting stranded by asking me to take a number of short rides, but then offering to pay for a cab fee if I get into a tough spot beyond that.
This is very reasonable and...
I have to very much agree with this. To some extent I think they DO care about the consequences of bad customer service based on some things they've said, but they simply don't know HOW to deliver good customer service. If someone at Rize was taking note of this I would recommend putting your...
That's a great quote. I'll tuck that one away. And it's very apt here. When the tech eventually explained that the photo evidence was required in case of having to make a parts claim with a 3rd party I could accept that. But in reply I also made the point that it shouldn't be required in order...
With the info I have now I guess I can try playing with the connectors if it happens.
But given the intermittent nature of it I'm not sure how many "short trips" I would need to take to feel confident in it.
Hi Handlebars - In my case everything on the display looks normal on power up, until I try to pedal, and that's when the little engine icon starts flashing and the error code 30 appears and there is no power assist available (all this of course only on the times that it's been failing). So it...
UPDATE: I did get a call from the tech. He told me to check all the connections, but I had to work somewhat hard to find out which ones to check, because it turns out that when I asked if I'd need to unscrew them to check he said "no, not THOSE connections". So he apparently didn't mean "all"...
OK. I contacted them. Seriously disappointed with their customer support. Mark insists that I have to wait for it to happen again and take a photo to prove it before they will help.
I suggested to him that that was silly because I didn't want to get stranded in the middle of nowhere again...
I've had a Rize Leisure for one week now. It's everything I hoped it would be - when it's operating normally.
However, twice now I've had Error 30 " Controller communication error " when starting up. The display comes on normally, but when I begin to pedal I get the error and no power assist...
