Battery Electric Vehicles

No argument there! I was replying to claims that BEVs don’t have cooling systems to maintain…..which they do, and can actually be just as, if not more complex than ICE cooling systems.

Ok, lol

I don’t think that’s necessarily true….. Holy coolant lines! 🤪 Nissan Leaf radiator assembly. Looks very ICEish! https://nissan.7zap.com/jp/gr/leaf/ze0/3+1511+65535/c/214/

👍 …….also, it has a radiator, pumps and hoses that require the same maintenance and suffer the same failures as those on an ICE vehicle.

While the battery on your Leaf is air cooled (most EVs have water cooled batteries), I’m pretty sure it has a cooling system (liquid) to cool the motor and electronics…..and will require maintenance at some point too. Just say‘n! 😜

Nope, not with Bosch, Shimano or Brose. You can pedal to your hearts content, but the motor will not engage without a real/significant load.

Bosch no throttle, and with a good torque based system, pedaling while the rear wheel is off the ground will not engage the motor.

If the brakes are properly bled (no air in the system), them being upside down will be absolutely no issue.

So you’re 5’9”, not 5’5” as your original post indicated? if so, I agree a medium would be right for you.

The Serial 1 website has a size calculator. Using it with your dimensions, it says your a size small. I am 5’9” with 30” inseam and have a medium. My sizing puts me between a medium and large per the calculator. I preferred the medium frame for the additional top tube clearance versus the...

The brakes on my Rush/CTY Speed are quiet. Like you said, it’s very important to bed them in properly. If you didn’t do so when they were new, you‘ll likely need to replace the pads. Serial 1 has a great tutorial on how to bed them in properly...

Lol!

Never mind! Deleted!

There is no “issue”. The bike was designed to be first and foremost lightweight. They achieved this this in part by using a light, compact motor. With current technology, more power would mean more weight. You knew the power output of the motor before you bought it….and now you’re complaining…..lol

Didn’t you test ride it before you bought it???

Serial 1 Rush/CTY - S

Sorry for derailing your thread! Looking forward to hearing what you think of your new bike! I’m sure you’re going to love it!

The bike also has a automatic CVT transmission, so no shift cables. It has no throttle, so no throttle cable or brake interrupt switch wiring. Thus it has a lot less cabling to deal with from the start……
