    Espin Flow pedal assist power levels

    My early 2021 Flow starts in PAS 1 at 9 mph and gets there pretty quickly. I also don’t have a color display but given the complaints about the new display being hard to see in sunlight I’m no longer envious.

    I did another long ride yesterday. I took the Aero and my wife rode her Flow. We did 23 miles. I had 2 bars left on the battery riding at PAS 1 and 2 and my wife had 4 bars left on her Flow riding at mostly 2 and using the throttle quite a bit on the in the last 6 miles or so. I enjoyed this...

    Thanks! I doubt I'll add fenders as I too like the look better without. If anyone decides to add a rack I'd like to see what you choose.

    Nice review and I agree. No odometer is aggravating but I guess I can use my iPhone to track mileage using a fitness app. Which fenders did you get and how are you mounting them to the front?

    I’m looking forward to seeing your thoughts after you take a ride.

    I took a long ride today. While I love my Flow, this bike has made me excited to ride more. Because of it’s weight and minimalist design I feel way more connected to it during the ride. It’s really a better “biking” experience. I rode for about a half mile with no pedal assist and it was fine...

    I took a ride (finally) and here are my thoughts. This bike feels much lighter than my flow. I can easily pick it up with one hand. Because of that it feels very fast. When first powered on, it starts in PAS 0. My flow starts in PAS 1. I rode a bit in 0 and it rides very much like an...

    Another tip. I emailed support about getting an extra battery charger. I have a grand vision - probably ridiculous - of sometimes commuting to work and back on the Aero. My round trip is about 20-25 miles so I would be cutting it close on a single charge. They do not sell extra chargers but...

    PatriciaK's suggestion to email support is probably your best bet. I'll take a picture when I get home tonight so you can see but if it's there it isn't obvious.

    I don't see any front fender mounts. Odd.

    Ok, the thing plugging up the axle is the stem from the large round protective cover. If you don't finesse the covers off, the stem will break inside the axle but it comes out easily by poking the skewer through. The brake caliper protector has a ring that you grasp and pull. It only took me...

    Not yet. I finished assembling a bit late and then discovered that the tire valves are Presta. I need to find my pump adapter but I'll get a ride in tonight.

    This picture is of the back. I'll check the front and maybe send another picture.

    Looks like these would work for fender mounts

    Ok. I found my quick release skewers. Both of them were in the cardboard where the rear wheel was secured. I found it taking the box apart so look there. 3 out of 3 were there

    Ok. I found my quick release skewers. No TV of them were in the cardboard where the rear wheel was secured. I found it taking the box apart so look there. 2 out of 2 were there so far

    Two more tips: 1. The axle looks plugged up on one side but whatever is plugging it falls out when you insert the skewer from the non-plugged side. 2. The brake has a plastic insert keeping the pads from touching each other that needs to be removed before you attempt to lower the fork onto the...
