It's been a while since I removed the battery so I don't remember all the details. I did take the fork out but I think it was to see if I could shake out the bolt. Before you replace the battery and seal everything up be sure to check that all the connections are tight. I had to take the battery...

I removed and replaced the battery on my Bianchi Aria eRoad... I would think it should be similar to the Willier. I only did it because I was clumsy and dropped a bolt into the downtube and couldn't shake it out. It took me several hours but it all worked when finished. It was a good experience...

Was your bike acting the same as mine with the pink light only on and blinking when the ext. battery was on?

I just started having the pink light flashing. When I turn on the bike, the pink light immediately starts to flash... but ONLY when the extender battery is on. If I leave the ext. battery off then everything works fine. And both batteries (internal and external) worked well together for several...

I went on a 26-mile billy goat ride on my Bianchi Aria eRoad today with 3 friends. I used almost 3/4 of the battery (mostly on the climb) but I was way ahead of the others who are all stronger than me without the motor. They did get back at me on the slightly downhill finish when they kicked it...

Whisper, In the US mine is set at 20 mph max. speed but 25 or so would be a nice boost for flat ground when the group picks up the pace over 20 mph. I have the Bianchi Aria but it is the same hardware as the Orbea. I don't know if Bianchi programs their bikes differently, but software...

While the Bianchi Aria eRoad might be marketed as a "race" bike, I don't notice any problems not racing it. I've been riding for 55 yrs. and I have never bought a custom frame... all adjustments for fit can be done with the saddle, stem, and bars if the frame size is in the ballpark... at least...

I'm wondering how Specialized gets around the 20 mph max. speed law on public streets in the US... maybe selling it as an offroad bike?

A few updates: The water bottle battery (at least for Bianchi) won't be available for another 2 mos. I must be getting stronger because now I'm using the orange (middle) power assist unless the hills are tough. I was able to get a 35mm rear tire in the frame and a 32mm front tire. The only...

My back wheel feels the same as yours. When I'm riding and start to freewheel, it feels like the brakes have been applied lightly. I want to coast down a hill, side by side with a non-ebike to see what difference there is... it feels like I'm coasting slower, but it could just be the "let-down"...

The Need for Speed has dropped a lot from my more youthful days. On the Aria, half the spokes are outbound, both sides. I'm new to disk brakes (so far I don't like them because of rubbing noises that I haven't been able to adjust out) and I was surprised to see the front wheel having to be...

I guess I'm greedy... said I wanted to have a 20 mph limit and now that I have it, I now want 25 :) But, seriously, 20 mph works very well for me. Question: I did a 40-mile ride with non-ebikes and I got a great workout... in fact, I was trashed at the end. I'm 70 yo with A Fib that probably...

What mileage are you getting with your Pinarello? The only ride I've had so far that tested the battery power was 40 miles, rolling hills... the last 5-10 miles I started lowering the power output of the bike and increasing my power input in order to make it to the end without running out of...

Your Pinarello looks great. Did you switch the gruppo from Ultegra? I'm waiting for the color display and the water bottle battery... does Pinarello have those available yet? Be happy this wasn't your Pinarello...

Evillena, can you change your wheel size on your app?
