Front End Wobble, Worse with Range Extender In my case since my handlebars were set to be higher (meaning almost 90% as Eddie shows here:) Adding full panniers made the front end wobbly, and adding the range extender made it worse. By moving the panniers down on the range extender, I fixed...

Yikes! Seems like that means it’s an issue for all enviolo hubs? Atleast this model…

@riding_on have you by any chance come up with a way to get the battery extender (priority version) to not act like a main battery vampire?

It is only 9 lbs, but with Current Battery Range Extender battery attached (as oposed to left at home) to the rack, if I give the frame a shake from the seat post the rear wheel and frame oscillate when I shake the bike from the seat. I am trying to figure out if this is something wrong with...

New handlebars - brake cables worked, but will still get the left side one extended a bit, as you suggested. Next stop, front suspension:-)

Really loving my current and also really wanted a more upright seating position. I spoke with the folks at Rivendell Bicycle Works who helped me pick out the Nitto Bosco Bars, adapter to match the size of the OEM handlebar faceplate, t9 spray to oil teh inside to prevent rusting. dnallohdivad...

This thread captures some of what I've been working on with my Priority Current - some muscle pain related to adjusting the handlebars and seat height leading me down the path of ordering new handlebars base on my best guess. I just stumbled across this video of Mary Spender (proofofsweat)...

Thanks!

Thanks for the heads up - the guys at rivendell (they sold me the Bosco handlebars) also warned me that I would probably need to extend them so it'll be my chance to figure out hydraulic brakes :-). Which forks did you end up getting specifically? SO many options in their fork glossary :-)

Nice! I'm swapping to a new handlebar to make the ride more "upright". The fork looks like it'll be my next big upgrade :)

Really interested to see what you do here.

Any dealers in the boston area? Who makes the motor? How "upright" is the riding position? Also - LOVE the frame mounted front basket. Any other options for that mount point? How much weight will it hold?

this is what I was referencing: https://www.specialized.com/bo/en/sl-range-extender-battery/p/173733?searchText=98920-5640&color=273576-173733 but I think you are right and this is not for this bike :-(.

Also, the extended ranger that goes low and in the center of the frame is really nice.

Thanks for the information - I got the different models confused. I have to say (as a happy Priority Current Owner) that the Specialized Turbo Vado 5.0 IGH at $3,999 (current price at specialized) would make me take a look.
