sorry don’t follow, not being smart . If I have the old class 3 I can throttle to 20 and then have to pedal to 28. I don’t understand why it matters how I got to 20 if I am continuing to 28. Also a bike that has a cadence sensor can ghost pedal which is very similar to throttle imho to 28. to...

Yes now. I was very close to purchasing a Summit 2 but wasn’t happy with the final gear ration causing a higher cadence in top gear. I would continually shift to 1 more gear that wasn’t there on my test rides. I went to a Velotric sponsored day at the local bike shop and worked with a few reps...

Velotric has a different software limitations for bikes sold to Ca address to follow their laws. Still don’t see why a class 3 cannot have a throttle while a class 2 does, is not the concern 28 vs 20? What does a throttle do at 20 on different bikes? Will an area which allows a new class 3 not...

I ride the Sliver Comet Trail just west of Atlanta . It is a MUP. Rarely do I see enough people to slow down and surprisingly wish there were more people, to have around for safety…most of the time. As I tell many people I don’t get out often meaning ride different trails . When I read these...

I bought and unfortunately still have a Specialized Vado 5.0. It is the auto version . I wish I never had the auto part . 1) always slips at high speed , been repaired maybe 6 times ,still slips. But the reason I am posting is the way it works when it it works trying to keep the same cadence...

Me,3 batteries and 2 or 3 chargers depending on today’s bike choice go under 20 when taking off , up a large hill, too tired and mostly when something is wrong with my bikes. Otherwise 24-28+ . Yesterday was 113 miles avg 21 or so during riding time over an hour of resting and eating maybe more...

On Facebook I posted about the small chain ring but a few responded they were able to upgrade it. Since i have received my Aventon level 4 I quit pursuing this .I think I would prefer the Summit win the upgrade but don’t mind the lack of hassle to get it done.

Front fender extensions do protect from water off tire better than not. Also catch a lot of junk the moment you are off clear paths.

Looking for any input on the Priority Skyline. Including support of the pinion drive, just anything :)

test rode again and then went to Velotric sponsored day at the dealer . Test rode and spoke with rep and dealer mechanic on issues/preferences I would like on the Summit 2. Cutting handle bar , no problem, trading in knobby for road tires, discount rode a different Summit , set properly menu...

Anybody riden a Summit 2 yet?

Hi , I am testing the the Summit 2 vs Discover 3. I am interested in power for holding higher speeds on paved trails, some hills. On paper it seems the Summit with its higher torque should be better. On another site they tested both bikes in separate tests and the Summit seems like it would be...

i am looking at the D3 not DM want a hub motor again, replacing a Rad Roadster. I currently own among others a Trek Allant with Bosch motor and a Specialized Vado 5.0 with Enviolo hub and both excellent no delay sensors but not hub and not super strong especially holding close to 28 on hills. i...

Thx , Even better info than expected! Back to waiting for Summit to compare rides. do you have any experience comparing torques sensor engagement with other bikes ? Some are more responsive and even more so on take off engagement.

I have seen mixed responses on Class 3 on the D3 throttle. The question is does the throttle work up to 20 mph in class 3?
