Went on another test ride today. Rode about 14.2 miles. It was an out and back round trip. Total Ascent showing 693 ft, Total Descent 676--don't know why they are showing so much different. Somewhat hilly north of Seattle. Had the battery turned off as much as possible. Naturally, I was going...

I think it's not so pronounced in the other levels, perhaps getting less so as you approach ECO.

Yes, that 2 seconds is especially problematic on narrow, twisty, rooted inclines at slow speeds!

I'm retired and only use my bike for pleasure and exercise, so no need to get anywhere too fast. I chose the hyperfat for the 1) powerful, torquey (12T), quality rear hub motor 2) pedal assist with throttle 3) what I thought was state of the art torque sensor; I'm not so sure now due to the...

I've thought of trying a smaller chainring. I have no need to go upwards of 38mph (12T), not strong enough anyway (33 or 34 is probably my max at 25 psi--68 and 40 lbs overweight). So, if I replaced the 52 with a 42 or so, I imagine steep hills and unpowered on the flat would be easier, and...

Seems awfully soon to be replacing a chain. How many miles did you have on it? Anyway, I've also thought of trying a smaller chainring. I have no need to go upwards of 38mph (12T), not strong enough anyway. So, if I replaced the 52 with a 42 or so I imagine steep hills and unpowered on the flat...

Yeh, I know, I'm active in that thread as well. Here's my latest from that thread: Has anyone used a chain keeper on this bike yet? If so, what brand? I was thinking of the kind similar to that shown in the images below that might work with our non-quick release wheels, or does it even matter...

Me too. It's disappointing that there is so little participation. I don't expect an answer to this question, but "does anyone know of a forum where owners of the HF1000 participate more?"

Has anyone used a chain keeper on this bike yet? If so, what brand? Actually, Eglon, I was thinking of the kind similar to that shown in the images below that might work with our non-quick release wheels, or does it even matter if it has a quick release on it or not? I already took my rear...

Here you go.

Correct, except I neglected to mention that fully charged with the 2A battery charger showed only 53.8V instead of the 54.5V that I believe would be shown on a fully healthy fully charged battery. That difference between 53.8 and 54.5 could be due to any number of reasons, one of them being...

I just received my HF with the 12T motor 5 days ago. If anyone's interested, I posted an entry on "Powerful Fat Tire E-bike w/ Torque sensor from Juiced Bikes" explaining my experience with the 17.4 Ah battery. As far as accessories go, I used my old mountain bike Topeak rack (Topeak Super...

This entry is for those of you who might want some additional info on what you can expect from your batteries. I have a 835 Wh 17.4 Ah battery left on its default setup of 54v to 40v cutoff. For the last 4 days I have been riding approximately 14 miles per day for a total of 50.3 miles (as...

I'm seeing a significant difference between the trip distance shown on my phone app (MotionX-GPS) and that shown on the bike's display. Anyone know which is more likely to be more accurate? And if it is the bike's display that is less accurate are there any instructions on how to gauge that...

For those of you who might like to make your winter ride more comfortable I just received an email regarding the Bouclier Visor going on sale. For those of you who prefer comfort over appearing to be a manly man you might want to look into it. By the way, by blocking the wind and so keeping your...

1/2" of play seems a bit hard to believe. I wasn't particularly happy that I had 1/16" of play. I'll probably just put a strip of inner tubing in the compartment to tighten it up, unless there is some other way to adjust it?

I'm getting what I would describe as a slight surging sensation at low speed, low cadence. I suspect this is just a limitation of the controller just as stalling of the motor at low speed, low cadence under load, i.e. going uphill in eco mode is a limitation of the motor?

For those of you who may still be wondering about the standover height for a large HF, I got a different measurement than someone at Juiced told me. They claimed 30.3" while I got 32" for exactly half way along the bar. This is with stock tires pumped to 25psi. It turned out to be what I would...

Which width are you using and did you need to replace any cables?

Thanks!
