Hey guys, my batteries are sitting at 5% right now. Is there any advantage to running them all the way to zero before I charge them? PS: Like RMK, I had to use granny gear to climb my last hill with the battery so low.

Good for you! That had to have been a workout. Thanks for the report on extra battery; I want one but wife says bike budget is maxed out for now. I like my cloud 9 seat, but I got Biktrix' swept-back "A-bars" so my posture's not that forward. I only rode half as far as you today but I was...

Glad to hear it - glad you found a good shop. While I was waiting for inserts I took my bike to a shop in Palm Springs to figure out the thrown chain. Had to drop off and pick up while the mechanic wasn't there so I didn't get to talk to him, but he gets a lot of practice on their rental fleet...

So I think I found my regular exercise run, 30-mile loop, up a steep mile (12%+) to start where I'll use a lot of battery because of car traffic, then gradual climb against prevailing wind through some gorgeous scenery with hardly any traffic where I'll get the actual workout, then a winding...

5'8"? Wow, you must have log legs for your height. I highly recommend a dropper post. The one Biktrix put on mine is a Kindshock Exaform 861. It's pretty basic, but does the job. It has a cable but they routed it through the tube; not sure how hard that is DIY.

Did you engage the slider on the battery? There are two locks, one which engages automatically and releases with the key, and on the opposite side, a little black oval plastic slider. My problem was that even though I heard a snap from the automatic one, it wasn't fully engaged, and when I...

I hope you're enjoying your first ride about now and having a hassle-free experience. Finally getting to really enjoy mine and got in 25 miles of beautiful scenery after work. Unfortunately Tannus' latest batch of fat-tire inserts already sold out. It happens fast, so I'd recommend getting on...

My top battery is now capable of seating properly but takes a firm press; I routinely check that both batteries are secure and then engage the sliders to be even more sure - I'm trying to turn it into a good habit. Batteries are expensive, might take a long time to arrive, and a worse scenario...

Certainly plan to be, going forward. I had to wait for my tire inserts, but this week my bike has been my car and I put 100 miles on it. So 100 miles per week at least, maybe 150 when week days get long to ride after work.

I threw a rope over the rafter in my garage. If you don't have exposed rafters, maybe find a tree with a sturdy limb. Tip: Way easier to lift one end than both at the same time.

Actual range test report First, commuted to work all week with no flats, happy with the Tannus Armour. Remember I couldn't go 20 miles without a flat before I got the inserts. Today I could finally try for a long ride. Odometer says 48 miles, but based on previous test GPS vs display on...

Hi Terry, as I stated upthread, no, I did not get my bike direct from Leili, got Biktrix Juggernaut Ultra Beast. Frame, motor, batteries and most components are the same, I think ordered as a unit from Leili, but they use a house-branded front fork and an 11-speed SRAM cassette instead of IGH...

Thanks, I'll email him. Where I live, we have 3 seasons, hot mild, and windy. Now that I can finally ride with confidence in my tires and the security of my batteries, the windy season started, so I still had no good opportunity to get a performance baseline. On fairly level ground with easy...

I mis-stated - 3" spacing (75mm) between adjacent bolt holes yields 135mm BCD. BBG Bashguard doesn't sell a 44T 135mm BCD - I'm waiting to hear back if I can use a larger one.

Thanks. Was the installation "easy"? I don't think getting a tire back on is easy to start with, and it's worse with the volume of the insert, but they're thick and I find the runflat claim credible though I didn't test it. The second one was easier, so I can believe it could become easy for...

Yeah, well, my time is worth it if it saves me patching a tube every 2 or 3 rides. I haven't ridden my bike since my 5th flat tire (over a 3-week period), so without this $130, I wasted thousands on the bike itself. Thicker-walled thorn-resistant fat tubes are hard to find if they exist at all.

Mine should get here today, and yeah, I paid $130 total. At least the fat tire version doesn't require different tubes. Install tonight, long ride tomorrow, by Sunday I should be able to report if I have another flat. Also, I just ordered a chain guard from bbgbashguard.com, shipped this...

Lithium batteries are a fire hazard, especially where I live, not bad now but garage gets too hot in summer, so I set up a charging station in the house with a smoke alarm and fire extinguisher.

Biktrix sent replacements for the plastic pieces at each end of battery slot. I was skeptical, but proceeded. New parts weren't necessary - removing and reinstalling top plate (the end with electrical connector) solved my issue. Now when I insert the battery and press firmly, it snaps in...

And I thought maybe I should inch closer to 30psi because of the low max speed I get, but I've realized I haven't done a fair test because my "level" stretch of rode is acctually an incline. Keeping my eyes peeled while driving around, I've realized that my side of town doesn't have any - it's...
