I’ve tried a few different bottles, insulated ones are great for hot days, and wide-mouth Nalgenes are easy to clean but don’t always fit standard cages. Adjustable holders like the one Jeremy mentioned can help with that. Whichever bottle you choose, staying hydrated is key, especially on...

Yes, the Hall sensor wires (usually 5-pin: R, B, Y, G, Bl) go straight to the controller, no circuit board inside the motor, just sensors near the stator. If you're seeing 0–5V changes while slowly turning the wheel, the sensors are likely working.

I'm just outside Chicago. I've done parts of the lakefront trail, and it's definitely worth checking out. The views are great, especially near the museum campus. It can get crowded on weekends so a weekday ride might be better.

I’m new here too, just joined recently. Seems like a good bunch of folks on the forum. Looking forward to learning more from everyone’s experience with e-bikes.

I’m also having trouble with a similar G Two model and didn’t even think to check that. In my case, the display does turn on, but there’s no assist and the throttle doesn’t respond either. I’ll try disconnecting the brake sensors and test walk mode next. Appreciate the tips from everyone here.
