    Some LMT'D updates

    I went to the Giant bike shop and received 6 replacement bolts for the rear rotor. The funny part was the 6 were 25 torx head. The one that was left in the rear had a 4 mm Allen head. When I checked the 6 in the front for snugness they were also 25 torx head. The one in the rear did not look...

    Some LMT'D updates

    This will apply to LMT'D owners. Someone on the Ride1up Facebook page that their LMT'D was missing some rear brake disc bolts. I checked mine today and I have only one bolt out of 6 holding it on. The front had all 6 in place. The third picture is the front wheel. I attached some photos to show...

    Some LMT'D updates

    I always wondered why Rad bikes had the controller mounted to the frame. Not a very clean look but a better way of dissipating heat.

    Some LMT'D updates

    Saturday 09/26 I took a 21 mile ride with elevation changes and had no problems. Rode again yesterday 09/29 around Lake Mead with some elevation changes. At about 14. 6 miles I lost power to the motor by torque sensor. The display screen was normal but had no assistance. Also the throttle did...

    1,000-Mile review of 700 ST

    REI seems to have the best price for the Shimano Deore M591SGS at 48.00 plus tax and in store pickup. Most other places are out of stock and a higher price. Nice write up. I have a LMT'D but for $1500.00 the 700 for a entry level E-bike it has a good range with the 14 amp battery, fenders...

    I broke my battery !!!

    I believe you should always have a lithium ion battery checked for cell damage after a drop. Not that there was any damage to the cells from yours but you do not want a fire to start while charging it.

    Some LMT'D updates

    I rode 10 miles yesterday and 22.5 miles today for a total of 32.5 miles and still had battery left on a single charge. Per the graph I had 32% battery left. The motor only stopped once on me during that time close to the end of a steep incline as you can see in the picture. Took the picture...

    Some LMT'D updates

    So since my last update I have had quite a few rides with my LMT'D now. Ride1up sent me two new crank bolts to replace the missing ring around the right crank bolt. Received that Saturday. The bike is fun to ride. The torque sensor is more like a real bike feel of pushing the pedals for power...

    Some LMT'D updates

    I rode again this morning and just used the torque sensor to ride. I used the throttle only twice to take off from a stop but you really do not need need that ability since the torque sensor will get the bike moving right away. Old habits from cadence sensor riding. I had 0 instances of the...

    Some LMT'D updates

    So today when I was riding around it was hot and I am still experimenting with the bike. I tried an extended stretch on full throttle for about a mile and I lost power. I still had the display but no throttle or power by the crank sensor to the motor. I shut it down and within a few minutes...

    Some LMT'D updates

    I have used the throttle to get up to 22 mph. I have also used the throttle to start out then started pedaling and there is no hesitation between the two. Going for a ride this morning so will experiment some more.

    Some LMT'D updates

    I restored it to factory settings. This is the current set for PAS 1, 2 and 3. I'm not sure if it goes above 22 amps.

    Some LMT'D updates

    I received the missing crank bolt spacer from Ride1up today. They sent me a set. Everything seems sorted out now. Had a clicking noise coming from the crank. Changed out the pedals but still had the noise. Took a spirited ride today really leaning on the pedals getting to warp speed. It went...

    My amps were set at 18 Ride1up suggest 11

    Does anyone know what power assistant sensor settings do? The owners manual states Assistant Num represents PAS sensitivity settings. The settings are from 5 to 24. Mine comes from the factory at 24.

    My amps were set at 18 Ride1up suggest 11

    My amps were set at 18 Ride1up suggest 11

    I want to start a Microsoft word document with all the information about the display. I have a few questions. 1. What is the effect when you raise the amp setting on a specific PAS setting? 2. I could have sworn Ride1up said not to change the factory settings so you get the optimum effect...

    Finally got my Lmt'd but what's this part?

    I was missing the crank bolt cover for the right crank arm but Ride1up is sending me a set of crank bolts and covers.

    Some LMT'D updates

    Sorry, I just got back from a trip to Zion national park so didn't see your message. I was confused because like you I found out it was nothing like the LMT'D assembly video. All the parts were there but it took me a while to figure out the order. Lot's of people on the Facebook page were also...

    Some LMT'D updates

    Someone wrote this on the Facebook page. "Kevin said it’s OK to change the number of PAS levels, like what you did. He just doesn’t want anyone going into the settings and changing the percentage of each PAS level. Apparently it would cause the torque sensor to not function optimally." So not...

    Some LMT'D updates

    I took a nice long ride today with a friend who has a Pedego by the Las Vegas wash. It is very technical trail with quite a number of hills with one very steep one. First thing I noticed was the LMT'D's motor is quite loud compared to my Dapu 500 watt. The Dapu sounds like a muffled swarm of...
