    Thank you for the info. I *did * notice that the rear tire “coasts” a bit more freely in the forward rotation than the back -which stops rotating much sooner. Maybe my bike is just fine?

    Hi guys - It's been a while (I bought my Haul back in April of this year ('24). Been quite pleased with so much about it. It's really been a great alternative ride for me (perhaps a bit too much - I don't ride my analog bike nearly as much as I used to). But just today I noticed that on a...

    Still trying to understand the motor/battery relationship: I’ve heard that “speed is the enemy of battery life”. So ( - on a flat stretch of road) if I’m on assist 2 and pedaling to get up to 16 mph for, say a mile. Would I be using up MORE battery if I rode the same route agin but this time...

    Super informative. Thank you. My experience with the Haul’s hub motor is exactly as you say. Its Achilles Heel is that scenario of slow speed up a steep hill. Happily I have the throttle installed so that helps a lot ( though it eats up the battery of course). Also I’m finding that the...

    Damn! I *just* bought a USB>Thunderbolt cord thinking I could charge my phone while riding. Disappointing to hear that it’s a hobbled port 🙄

    In my limited experience with the Haul so far, the motor absolutely responds to quick torque bursts from the legs. It’s great. Best of both worlds.

    Very interesting observation. That last sentence describes my (admittedly new) Haul motor experience exactly.

    Good info for me to internalize. Important to keep my feet moving if I want the hub to assist fully.

    Guys - I need some of your help in understanding the way my Haul's motor is set up to help me: I *thought* that no matter what gear I was in, the faster I pedal the more the motor will assist me. But I'm finding that in actuality it seems that the higher the GEAR I'm in(no matter the assist...

    Haha! You are COMMITTED!! Does that cage have the ability to screw onto the frame if there are openings or is it wrap around only? Thanks for the pix. #OneOfUs
