I asked Ryan to double check and also look at his advanced settings. His reviews / videos on the bike have been great.

it’s an identical controller - same exact model numbers on both. Only difference was the Factory exit date. Old controller was 04 2020 and the new 07 2020

I watched the video as well and have been using the new torque sensor for a little over a week. His statement that the motor stays on for a pretty long time after he stops pedaling is inaccurate based on my experience. I just rode my LMT’D to get coffee and the motor cuts out in well under a...

First - that dog trailer is awesome. You can see them smiling. Second - apologies for not fully understanding your situation before commenting. Third - given your situation, I agree cruise control on a bike may be a good solution. That said, a bike is a less stable platform at low speeds...

Got it - that was a typo and I just fixed. Meant walking the "dog" not the "bike". The LMT'D throttle is not really setup to hold a steady/slow speed like that. My other thought was maybe cruise control would work (set at 6mph) - but I don't see that being implemented on the LMT'D because it...

Yes - that was understood.

The throttle on the LMT’D does allow variable speeds but it’s frankly hard to hold the throttle in one place - other than all the way down. I’ve been able to hold the throttle at about 10mph minimum but - If you hit bumps, it’s hard to keep the throttle in any mid-range position. I use the...

-- Starts at level 0 every time (I believe the new LCD that ships with the LMT'D lets you pre-set the startup PAS) -- Yes it's a smooth acceleration - NOT a sudden jump -- I've found the bike to be very stable. It's heavy (51lbs), which helps. Front shocks help remove harshness at higher speeds...

Jim - just do it. Riding a standard bike is like walking with lead shoes. Life is too short. Bike farther, faster. Smile more, analyze less. Be outside. Stop over-thinking it amigo.

The more I ride on the new controller, the more I get how nice this bike's setup is. I was on PAS level 9 today and could tip-toe around at 4 mph easily for as long as I wanted and then apply real pedal input and get up to close to 30 mph in a hurry. It's so so so much smoother/natural than...

Well said

I honestly didn't notice on the old controller/software - on the new controller that R1Up sent me, just tested tonight. I can confirm that the throttle works on all assist levels.

Looks like a few updates to the 2nd gen As mentioned, - New display - New software/controller (I’m using) A few more things, - Frame grommet for cables - Kickstand location Awesome!

Super important point I forgot to make. The iPhone really picks up the motor noise (I’ll edit that post to let others know). In real life it’s WAY quieter. Picture of my bike from today:

You may be right about the KD218 providing more refinement on PAS levels. That would be a nice addition. I should also add - that your riding experience may be different than mine. I weigh 183 lbs - weight will effect performance. Also what I call light/medium pedaling may be different for...

Haha - easy enough to do this stuff - just take my phone with me on the ride and video. Below is a video of my LMT'D using the same PAS as the last video BUT with the new controller. Same flat section of road. Reminder - the iPhone really amplifies the motor noise for some reason. It's much...

There is no cutoff per se - the motor continues to assist - at all PAS settings. I'd more characterise it as - the motor will take you up to a certain speed - and then you will have to take it from there. I went out for a ride to get some coffee this AM and tested this. I found that, at each...

With the new controller - the PAS levels make a difference in how much you work. With 9 levels, you can find one that gives you the right amount of workout... or just push it to level 9 and fly. With the new controller and no head wind, 30 mph - but you work for it. I think that setting is...

One more update today - Ride1Up sent out a newsletter today - there were a few good articles. One article titled "eBike Ownership: What Not To Do" recommended keeping your battery's charge level between 30% and 80%. So how do you do that? I bought one of these Cycle Satiator chargers and one...
