    Anti theft GPS

    Sounds like you need one for you car! :) You could always get something like this for your car if installation is too much of a burden for you. Either way it would only be pennies a day to monitor.

    Anti theft GPS

    Thanks for the tips. I ended up doing this for my older TK419. I originally bought the version without external battery, then ordered a second tracker (B version with external backup battery) with an extra backup battery for my first tracker. As you note, unless you have the B version, it...

    Anti theft GPS

    So you would rather have no options than options? Why? Because you don't trust yourself not to do something stupid? OK, I get it. That's why I don't carry. I've never needed protection. Better to have smaller balls and use your brain to maximize life expectancy when things escalate, than...

    Anti theft GPS

    Ha, sounds like my experience with invoxia. It worked hidden in my chainstay, but it was a PITA to charge, and it just didn't track reliably. Tractive, puts out a good product for pets, especially if you place a premium on health wellness monitoring, but not sure I'd go that route for an ebike...

    Anti theft GPS

    Haven't checked in here in a while. Was looking to add a tracker to another bike and picked up a Micodus MV710G tracker and Simbase SIM to test. So far so good. Notifications from the Micodus app are coming reliably and this tracker can do lot's of cool stuff like send alerts when the bike is...

    Vote! Do you like old or new color layout for forum?

    Some pages still have the old theme. Here's a sample.

    Vote! Do you like old or new color layout for forum?

    I may be in the minority, maybe not looking at the poll results, but I find the blue theme nauseating. I don't know why, I generally like blue, but this theme just grates at me. I've seen a lot of forums in my day, actually have administered one for 20+ years, and have to say the old green...

    AM1000V6 or CC

    For pavement, CC no question! Love mine. I have a MTB (Luna X1) similar to AM1000 and while it's great off road no way I'd choose that for rides around town. CC is way more comfortable with more relaxed riding position unless you love riding around town hunched over on a bike with MTB...

    Anti theft GPS

    Yeah the eelink app is garbage when it comes to notifications. I use the gpstrace app and love it, but only free for 1 device. As far as SiM, look at simbase as it is about the same cost as keepgo but you also have option to send SMS to configure. I ordered one to test but haven't gotten...

    Pinion Motor.Gearbox.Unit (MGU)

    Motor / gearbox looks very interesting but have to say the KETTLER PINNIATO HT COMFORT is equally underwhelming. No way I would drop $7K on a hard tail with those components weighing close to 65 pounds.

    Archon X1 Programming Thread (questions and experiences)

    Yeah innotrace is dead, put a fork in them and thankfully it seems nobody will need to suck up to kissmyassnomore and his lame attempt to monetize the situation.

    New Bicycle GPS on the market.

    I'd rather have options, than none. YMMV. Worst case the $100 I invested gives me the satisfaction of making a thief pedal away without power. Best case you go home and type NO again on the internet. There are also side benefits. My route is automatically tracked turn by turn. If I'm...

    New Bicycle GPS on the market.

    Link to info is in the post you quoted. I use a keepgo SIM with worldwide coverage.

    New bike from WW

    Helios still in development. Carbon fiber frame, ultra motor, belt drive, full suspension, suspended rear rack, but still a few things to sort out.

    New bike from WW

    I talked to Pushkar today, that one has been pulled for good.

    New Bicycle GPS on the market.

    Easily removed by thief and ongoing monitoring cost makes it expensive longer term. Better to secure a GPS tracker in frame, hardwire to ebike battery, and buy your own sim. My tracker was under $100 shipped and monitoring cost is less than $1 / month...

    Archon X1 Programming Thread (questions and experiences)

    Yeah, I was one of the first to get the controller in the US a few years ago. I've had little desire to reprogram it, works great for me, but I just wanted smooth performance at lower PAS, and higher efficiency, never cared about higher power. I never understood the hold up on the programming...

    Archon X1 Programming Thread (questions and experiences)

    WW just can't seem to catch a break. They took the initiative to bring the controller to the US, paid for UL licensing for the exclusive, and now along with all their other problems they have to deal with this nonsense. Maybe it's karma for overcharging for the controller, seems like everyone...
