    Charging Turbo to Full Capacity

    Got two new smaller charges, when I plug them into the bike, the bikes lights start strobing like crazy. The charger itself is not flashing and shows steady charge, however the lights on the battery do not illuminate. When I remove the battery and charge it off the bike, the battery lights come...

    Adjusting Pistons for Brake Rub on Formula C1 (Turbo X)

    Did you loosen the 2 bolts holding the caliper in? I normally loosen them up, adjust as needed, give a squeeze then check again. Finally tightening them up. Normally have to adjust them when I take the front wheel off and something bumps the brake lever while in transit.

    What brake pads does the Turbo S use? I saw online its listed as the Shimano Deore XT but there seems to be a lot of different types of Deore XT... Am I missing something?

    Ive read a bit about how its not good to either drain the battery to 0 or top off 100%, the sweet spot is between 30% and 80%, is that true like it is on Electric Cars?

    The new turbo Vado 2017

    Thats awesome! I’m going to convince the wife to get that for her bike and we can use her spare 468Wh as a back up for longer rides. Then all we would need is a new rear hub and she has a poor mans S

    Charging Turbo to Full Capacity

    Do the Turbos only charge to 98%? I’ve noticed no matter how long I left it on the charger when I turn it on its always at 98%. Also on the APP its different vs on the bike LCD. The bike will show 100% and also show power read outs at 97% 95 % etc but the LCD on the bike always reads at even...

    The new turbo Vado 2017

    Oh forgive me for not properly phrasing it. What I meant to ask was how much better was your range switching batteries?

    Tire pressure

    I noticed top speed was easier to achieve at 75 PSI, however it felt more squirrelly going over loose gravel omni unclean roads. The sweet spot seems to be 60-65 PSI. The side walls recommend 50-100 which is such a wide range.

    The new turbo Vado 2017

    If I were to buy the big 702 wh battery now... how long would you estimate it will stay good? I was planning to keep it as a main battery in lieu of the 468 AH battery that came with the Base.

    Bike light

    Love my Light & Motion Seca 2200 Enduro, 2200 lumens of light but actual testing shows its more like 2206. Good battery life on a rechargeable external 6v battery. Great run time as well. very pricy, but you can find them on sale for around 375-390.

    2016 Turbo S vs 2016 Stromer St2

    The quoted power output for the Giant bikes is 1000 watt motor @ 80 NM of torque, the ST2 and the Turbo S are rated at 500-750 watt and around 35-40 NM...So I don’t understand how you can say they cant be compared when on paper according to the manufacturer the Giant should feel much stronger...

    2016 Turbo S vs 2016 Stromer St2

    Despite it being rated at much higher torque, it didn’t feel that way. There wasn’t any low or mid range grunt. It did pick up speed decently, but the ST2 I test rode felt much quicker off the Line and I could hit 28 mph much sooner. I rode them back to back.
